Description

Providence: Re-printed by J. Carter, 1793. 15, [1 blank] pp, stitched in original drab and lightly foxed wrappers. Text with light uniform toning, Very Good. For a brief history of Sarah Osborn's life and struggles, see Wikipedia. This is one of four American editions. Osborn's Letter asks: "How do I know this God is mine; and that I myself am not deceived?" She answers with great feeling and detail: "I'll tell you truly what God has done for my soul, and what I call evidences of a work of grace," and then describes her personal religious experiences. A printed explanation on the title page states: "Though this Letter was written in great Privacy from one Friend to another; yet on representing that by allowing it to be printed, it would probably reach to many other in the like afflicted Case, and by the Grace of God be very helpful to them; the Writer was at length prevailed on to suffer it -- provided her Name and Place of Abode remain concealed." ESTC unravels the mystery, noting, "Attributed to Sarah Osborn in her: Memoirs of the life of Mrs. Sarah Osborn (Worcester, Mass., 1799), p. 159." Evans 25950. Alden 1317. ESTC W13788.
