The first eleven chapters of this book were a posthumous compilation of magazine articles that Frances Ridley Havergal wrote on hymnwriters and hymns. F.R.H. being such a gifted poet and hymnwriter, her selections and comments are very insightful and helpful. The last of her articles here was written on Horatius Bonar's hymns, not finished.

Starlight has much truth and encouragement for the invalid and those who are afflicted; Frances had been herself invalid and sick near...
