This module is on Bible Support in both e-Sword 8x, and e-Sword 9x. It list Henry Alford as the author of this work. The work is called
"Limbo : or, An apology for purgatory and prayers for the dead ; being the sequel to "The state of the blessed dead" by Henry Alford, D.D., Dean of Canterbury (1873)"
But it is written by John Stewart M'Correy, Not Henry Alford.
The word Apology in the title is like the word Apologetic. In other words this is a defense of purgatory and prayers for the dead. In this case the word "sequel" in the title really means a response to.
Henry Alford did not believe in purgatory. "The state of the blessed dead" by Henry Alford, D.D., Dean of Canterbury (1873)" did not deal with purgatory. In "Life, journals and letters of Henry Alford" he states clearly he does not believe in purgatory. He is in a conversation where he states "the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses from all sin, and Scriptnre does not reveal any place between the two".
I have attached a picture of page 382-383 from "Life, journals and letters of Henry Alford".
Should like to examine the book, The link is posted below to the page in question.

By the way, I tried contacting the module creator first about this issue, but am not able to.
Thanks
