Excerpt from The Elliott Family, or the Trials of New-York SeamstressesIN an upper room of a small, but neatly furnished two story house, in one of the many streets which cross Broadway, in the city of N ew-york, a mother and two daughters are grouped about the sick couch of the hus band and father. The white quilt thrown over him, is scarce more white than the thin, attenuated hands which are moving in quick and restless action upon it. The snowy pillowlends a marked contrast to the ghastly, sallow lineaments of the sufferer, whose frame is ever and anon convulsed with agony, in the effort to draw the fast-expiring breath. The eyes are fixed and glassy, lacking all expression, save that Of terrible anguish. The lips, white and covered with froth, which the care ful hand of the weeping wife Wipes tenderly away, are colorless, and ever and anon contracted with terrible pain.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
