Not illustrated. 1848 edition. Excerpt: ...spirit is ever the victorious spirit. No one ever went forward in duty, despite all obstacles, without reaping, in the end, an abundant reward. The moral coward, the time-server, the disobedient, is always the loser--the dutiful man smiles, triumphant, at the last.
