Not illustrated. 1855 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIV. PRESENT STATE OF THE WALDENSIAN CHURCH ITS MISSIONARY EFFORTS, AND SYNOD OF 1854.

We have beheld the sorely straitened Church, like a tempest-tost vessel struggling into port, her masts bent, her sails torn, whilst the little lamp dimly glimmering at her prow, her compass, and anchor, are the only possessions remaining to her crew from their long warfare with the winds and waves. Should we wonder, then, to find them at first somewhat cast down and dispirited; and that doubt and dejection should cause them to mistrust the sudden flash of hope so often baffled, so nearly extinguished 1 The limbs of the captive, long fettered and disused, do not regain their muscular spring at the first touch of the emancipator's hand.
