PAUL ARDENHEIM,
THE MONK OF WISSAHIKON.

AND HIS GENERALS, OR LEGENDS OF THE REVOLUTION,” “LEGENDS

THE WASHINGTONS,” “HERBERT TRACY,” &c., &c.
“These Legends of the olden time, have for the heart, a voice as stern and beautiful, as the sad
tones from the lips of the dying. It is true, they were very superstitious, these early settlers of
Pennsylvania—believed somewhat fervently in astrology, magic, witchcraft,—were imbued with all
the mysticism of their Fatherland—and yet with it all, they had an unyielding hope in Man, a childlike
faith in God.”
