Excerpt from The Opal: A Pure Gift for the Holy Days, 1845
The experiment of last year convinced the pub lisher that an Annual, prepared with reference to the true Christian standard, showing goodness in an agree able light, virtue in her sweet loveliness, and piety cheerfiilly promoting happiness, cannot fail of success. It is, therefore, with much pleasure that we present this second volume of the Opal to our friends, the moral and religious classes of society, because we trust, confidently, that it will meet their approbation.
