Summary

Buckingham wonder, or, The maiden's trance… (1800)

Comfort, O Lord, the sorrowful state of my parents, who are losing the only joy of their lives; give them heavenly patience under their earthly trial, that they may be made worthy inhabitants of those ever glorious mansions to which I am now going. Lastly, Bless this wicked nation and give them a true sense of their wickedness to repent of their sins, in order to receive those mercies thou hast ordained for them, and escape those dreadful judgements which they deserve.

Buckingham wonder, or, The maiden's trance… (1800)

Having finished her prayer, she delivered the paper to her mother, desiring that it might be printed after her death, which her mother promised to perform; and about an hour after she died, to the great grief of her dear parents; she was buried in the same grave that was made for her when she lay in her Trance. Thus, lived and died the wonder of a woman and the glory of her age. There was a funeral sermon preached on this occasion, by the Reverend Mr Dalton, which is now in the press and speedily will be published.
