Excerpt from Songs in the Night: With the Supplement, and a Remarkable Scene in the Life of the Author
The writer of this publication was a very obscure young woman, quite destitute of the advantages of education, and the subject of great bodily affliction. Her father dying when she was young, and leaving a large family unprovided for, she was sent out to service at sixteen years of age, in which station she continued until August, 1772, when disorders seized her which baffled the power of medicine and skill of physicians. But God, who is rich in mercy, was pleased, in love to her soul, at the beginning of the affliction, marvelously to manifest himself; and from that time instructed her in the things pertaining to his kingdom, as the following poetic performances, which were originally printed from her own hand-writing, in some measure witness.
