PREFACE.

THESE Hymns and Verses were collected by my sister, Sarah Backhouse, most of them from the American Friends' Review, the rest from our own periodicals.

She felt them to be a source of help and comfort during a long period of weakness, and had her life been prolonged, it was her intention to have published them, in the hope that they might prove so to others;—that this hope may be fulfilled is the earnest desire of her sister,

ELIZABETH BACKHOUSE.
