Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of Matthew Wald
Opportunity of claiming, otherwise than by letters from Spain, - for the gentleman was pleased to take service in that country immediately after the Revolution. At the commencement of the last century, then, our affairs may be said to have been rather in a prosperous condition.
My grandfather in due time succeeded to the property - gave his hand to a young lady of great merit, who happened to be heiress of a farm that had often and often been talked of as lying in to the estate, and was now (it was indeed high time) legally united to it for ever; and' in process of time begat a great many more sons' and daughters than would have been at all. Consistent with pru dence, had vaccination or cleanliness been at that period naturalized in our part of the globe.
They all died young, except John, Matthew, and Dorothy. The cadet was my father and I' need not inform you that you have the honour tow be the lady's grandson.
