For those wishing to know: this is a chap book, not from a religious
series, which sold in the early part of the 19th century in England. It
tells, in verse, two (fictional) tales where people take no religious
thought and come to a terrible end. The story of Nancy Wilmont, who
sinfully DANCED on her wedding night and so was struck dead, will be a
lesson to many(!)
All the best,
David,
England, growing cool and the skies light gray
