Book Overview

Conscience is a novel written by Eliza Lee Follen. The book tells the story of a young girl named Mary, who is raised by her strict and devoutly religious father. Mary is a good and obedient daughter, but she begins to question her father's beliefs and teachings as she grows older. She is torn between her duty to her father and her own conscience, which tells her that some of his views are wrong. As Mary struggles with her conflicting feelings, she meets a young man named Edward, who shares her doubts and fears. Together, they explore their beliefs and try to find a way to reconcile their faith with their own sense of morality. Along the way, they encounter many challenges and obstacles, including disapproving family members, skeptical friends, and their own doubts and fears.Conscience is a thought-provoking and deeply emotional novel that explores the complexities of faith, morality, and personal conviction. It is a powerful reminder that sometimes the hardest battles we fight are the ones we fight within ourselves.The man hesitated, and then got in. My friend, who was a clergyman, began immediately to talk earnestly about many interesting things, and kept up a lively conversation. At last, he mentioned the uncommon loneliness of the road, and observed that it would be a good place for a robbery. He then went on to speak of robbers, and then of criminals in general, and of what he thought was the right way to treat them. He said that society should try to instruct and reform them; that putting them to death was wicked; that, by patient love and kindness, we should win them back to virtue, that we should show them the way to peace and honor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
