A charming collection of prayers for women, prepared by a woman.
'There are occasions of a special nature which would seem to require a more peculiar form of prayer and praise, bringing the soul, like the primitive adorations of the early patriarchs, into immediate communion, as if listening to and conversing with its divine Progenitor. More especially, are such prayers required by the daughters of Israel, many of whom though animated with fervent piety and gratitude, seek in vain for words expressive of their ardent feelings and the meek but heavenward aspirations which elevate their souls amidst every daily duty and every earthly occurrence'.
