The Clergyman’s Orphan or The Child of Providence: A Tale Founded Upon Facts is a novel written by an anonymous author, known only as A Clergyman of New York, in 1833. The book tells the story of a young orphan girl named Lucy who is taken in by a kind-hearted clergyman and his family. Lucy’s parents were both members of the clergy, but they died when she was just a baby, leaving her to be raised by strangers.Despite her difficult upbringing, Lucy grows up to be a kind and virtuous young woman. She is educated by the clergyman and his wife, and eventually becomes a teacher in a local school. Along the way, she faces many challenges and obstacles, including the jealousy of a fellow teacher and the unwanted advances of a wealthy suitor.Throughout the novel, the author emphasizes the importance of faith, morality, and the power of Providence (i.e. God’s guidance and protection) in shaping Lucy’s life. The book is based on true events and is intended to serve as a moral lesson for young readers.Overall, The Clergyman’s Orphan or The Child of Providence is a heartwarming and uplifting story of perseverance, kindness, and the triumph of good over evil.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
