Sarah Ewing Hall (30 Oct 1761 – 08 Apr 1830 | Philadelphia PA – Philadelphia PA) Christian literature poet, educator, essayist, Bible translator and commentator.
Author’s Prefaces to First, Second & Fourth Editions of her Conversations on the Bible:
(Third Edition unauthorized.) Amidst the splendid improvements which not dazzle the
world, it is glory to behold the Bible traversing the globe, till the Sun of righteousness
irradiates, alike, the palace and the cottage. Encouraged by favourable reception of the
first edition, and especially by its introduction into some very respectable schools, the
author ventured to continue her work to the end of the Old Testament. In submitting
another edition to the public, it would evince a degree of insensibility in the author to
neglect the opportunity which is offered, to express her gratitude for the indulgence
which this work has received. Owing to this favourable disposition, its imperfections
have been unnoticed by those pleased to recommend it in terms far beyond its merits.
