Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide a complete description of this book as it does not appear to exist. A search for ""Stephen Dewhurst's Autobiography by James, Henry"" does not yield any results on major book-selling websites or in library catalogs.

Notoriously our Orthodox Protestant faith, however denominated, is not intellectually a cheerful one, though it is not so inwardly demoralizing, doubtless, as the Catholic teaching; but it makes absolutely no ecclesiastical provision in the way of spectacle for engaging the affections of childhood. The innocent carnal delights of children are ignored by the church save at Christmas; and as Christmas comes but once a year, we poor little ones were practically shut up for all our spiritual limbering, or training in the divine life, to the influence of our ordinary paralytic Sunday routine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
