LOVE ETERNAL by H. RIDER HAGGARD TO THE REV. PHILIP T. BAINBRIDGE Vicar of St. Thomas’Regent Street, London You, whose privilege it is by instruction and example to strengthen the weak hands and confirm the feeble knees of many, may perhaps care to read of one whose human love led her from darkness into light and on to the gates of the Love Eternal.

The winter of 1633 had set in with unusual severity throughout Suabia and Bavaria, though as yet scarcely advanced beyond the first week of November.
