Notes:	"An attempt is made to sketch the peace, industry, and homefelt happiness of a family in one of the villages of the valleys, and then very simply to exhibit the nature of the persecution to which, ... the people of God have been exposed in almost every Catholic state of Europe. ... The following story is intended to convey this information to the juvenile reader, and to interest him in the truths of that Bible which the Waldenses in some measure preserved"--Introduction, p. [11]-16, based upon the History of the Waldenses, connected with a sketch of the Christian Church, by William Jones. "Preface to the Pierre family."--dated at New York, November, 1832, p. [7]-10. By Miss Grierson. In marbled boards with leather spine and corners. "Sunday school and youth's library published for the Methodist Episcopal Church"--series title, p. [2]. Spine title: S.S. & Y. library. 23.
