Lewis Mrs. Lewis's life may be said to have been a fortunate one, exceptionally blessed in parents, brothers, husband, children, and friends. She was gifted from her cradle with beauty and winning grace; she was surrounded with the advantages conferred by wealth, social position, and cultivation, and she grew up among the refining influences of a beautiful and well-ordered home, herself its fairest flower, its most attractive ornament. Far above all other blessings must be reckoned this: that she was the child of Christian parents, who, while sparing no pains to fit her for the duties of this life, were careful to lead her early in the Way Everlasting. Foreseeing the special dangers and temptations that awaited a girl so beautiful and so attractive, her devoted mother endeavored from childhood to develop in her the graces of humility and unselfishness. By these she was distinguished through life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
