THE LANCASTERS AND THEIR

FRIENDS.

THIS LITTLE BOOK IS RESPECTFULLY

DEDICATED

TO THE YOUNG LADIES OF METHODISM,

For whom, more especially, it has been written ;—to stimulate all such who work for Christ, to work on, and do more; and to arouse those who are listless to see what they MAY do for Him who has done so much for them.

In Southey's lines I send forth my work

66

'Go, little book, from this my solitude:

I cast thee on the waters; go thy ways;
And if, as I believe, thy vein be good,

The world will find thee after many days:
Be it with thee according to thy worth;
Go, little book, in faith I send thee forth.”

S. J. F.
