IN THE

JOURNEY OF LIFE;

OR,

THE AFTERNOON OF MY DAYS:

COMPREHENDING CHIEFLY, THE PERIOD

BETWEEN MY FORTY-FIFTH, AND THE END OF MY SIXTIETH YEAR, BEING
THE FOURTH BOOK OF MY PILGRIMAGE:

FROM, THE

RETROSPECTIONS OF A SEXAGENARIAN:

IN WHICH,

-

SOME OF THE MORE RECENT UPS AND DOWNS,—THE JOYS AND SORROWS,-
THE HOPES AND DISAPPOINTMENTS,—

OF A LIFE PASSED IN COMPARATIVE OBSCURITY, BUT REPLETE WITH MUCH STRIKING
VICISSITUDE, AND NOT WITHOUT SOME OCCASIONAL ATTEMPTS TO BE USEFUL,

WILL BE FOUND DELINEATED

In such a way, as cannot fail to interest the careful observer of the Providential development of
human events,-to excite the sympathy of those who admire the patient and persevering efforts of
suffering humanity, in the midst of misfortunes of an appalling nature, and surrounded

by difficulties of no ordinary description, and to impress upon all, the instability
and uncertainty, of earthly comforts and human acquirements;

ILLUSTRATING AND INCULCATING AS THE NARRATIVE PROCEEDS,

SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSONS AND SUBLIME MAXIMS OF OUR
CHRISTIAN PHILOSOPHY;

NOT IN EXAMPLES DRAWN FROM FICTITIOUS REPRESENTATIONS; OR IMA-
GINARY CHARACTERS, EXISTING ONLY IN THE REGIONS OF FANCY AND
ROMANCE; BUT FROM THE INCIDENTS, AND EVERY DAY OCCURRENCES, OF
THE LATTER, AND MOST UNFORTUNATE PART OF, THE REAL LIFE OF

A COUNTRY BOOKSELLER:

Who exercised that profession in his little Provincial Locality with varied success, for the greater
part of half a century,-during which time, however, he became more extensively useful and better
known, by his Literary and Editorial labours,-being the author of Popular Philosophy, or
the Book of Nature Laid Open on Christian Principles, &c.-The affecting History of Tom
Bragwell, as well as of a number of minor pieces which have appeared in his different
publications, particularly in the Cheap Magazine, and Monthly Monitor, or, Philan➡
thropic Museum; of both of which, he was the Editor as well as Publisher.

"What! shall we receive good at the hand of GOD, and shall we not receive evil?”—JOB.
