GREAT PLAGUE,

WHICH DESOLATED THAT VILLAGE,

A.D. 1666.

BY WILLIAM WOOD.

"Some writèr,-why I know not,-has styled this ancient village the Queen of
the Peak. If it be so, alas, she is indeed a widowed one! for there she
stands alone among the hills, the solemn monument of 'A MIGHTY
WOE,' that still tingles appallingly in the ear of history, and embues the
whole district with a spirit of pensive gloom."
