Excerpt from The Redemption of David Corson Hidden away in this worn and care-encumbered world, scarred with its frequent traces of a primeval curse, are spots so quiet and beautiful as to make the fall of man seem incredible, and awaken in the breast of the weary traveler who comes suddenly upon them, a vague and dear delusion that he has stumbled into Paradise. Such an Eden existed in the extreme western part of Ohio in the spring of eighteen hundred and forty-nine. It was a valley surrounded by wooded hills and threaded by a noisy brook which hastily made its way, as if upon some errand of immense importance, down to the big Miami not many miles distant. A road cut through a vast and solemn forest led into the valley, and entering as if by a corridor and through the open portal of a temple, the traveler saw a white farm-house nestling beneath a mighty hackberry tree whose.

Methodist Magazine and Review, Volume 52, on The Redemption of David Corson : The extraordinary success of this book is shown in the fact that within two months of its initial publication, passed through no less than six editions. It is a story with a purpose. That purpose is to show how, under stress and strain of severe temptation, noble natures may be perverted and dragged down into sin and misery; that God never leaves Himself without a witness, even in the hearts of those who have wandered farthest from Him; and that under the power of Divine Grace they may return after sore discipline and chastening and be restored to His favour and fulness of joy. There is something singularly attractive about the Quaker hero of this story, a man in whom the "inner light" burns bright, and who has visions of the unseen and eternal. Through the spell of a misplaced earthly affection the light becomes darkened, the visions fade, he is beguiled into sin and crime. But the gentle gypsy, the object of his passion, becomes his guardian angel by whom he is rescued from perdition and restored to favour with God and with man. This is the Redemption of David Corson. The book has many wonderfully dramatic situations, is of absorbing and even thrilling interest, is written from a very lofty and ethical point of view, and with rare literary skill. We predict for it a marked success. The Rev. Dr. Hillis, of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, says: "I have just finished reading The Redemption of David Corson with wet eyes and leaping heart. Warmest congratulations." The Rev. Dr. Grey reviews it with similar enthusiasm in the "Interior," Chicago.
