Little Gidding and its Inmates in the Time of King Charles I by John Edward Acland is a description of a small religious community in the United Kingdom. Excerpt: "Such were the words and opinions of King Charles I. when speaking of the happy and industrious family whose life and labors at Little Gidding are described in the following pages, a family entirely devoted to good works, under the p. 6able direction of Mr. Nicholas Ferrar, whose history has happily been preserved for us with great accuracy, and which can hardly fail to be attractive."
