Publisher description
Excerpt from Unselfishness: Or, the Miner's Daughter The tale I am about to relate occurred some years ago, before the present laws with regard to collieries, or to children working in mines, were made. There are some situations in life in which it is scarcely thought possible for young women to maintain a respectable and Christian character, or to lead a godly, sober, and religious life. The object of this tale is to show that they may not only do so in the most trying as well as laborious situations of life, but that they may, in the lowliest positions, set an example which others might follow with advantage; and may practise, amid their labours and self-denial, some of the highest virtues of which our nature is capable. Having explained this, I shall now relate some part of the history of Rose Thornley, The Miner's Daughter.
