Or, Life by the Way-Side (Classic Reprint), Excerpt from The Crooked Elm: Or, Life by the Way-Side There are many things in this world of ours which are disagreeable - many, very many indeed! Among the number is the task of writing a preface to one´s own book. What to say, and how to say it, are perplexing questions, - questions which make the author hesitate, think, query, and ´´calculate.´´ It would not be good policy to give the reader a synopsis of the book, for that would neutralize, if not destroy, all interest in the story. What then shall he say? - Yes, that is the important question, - what shall he say? Simply this: - He hopes that the following pages will afford entertainment and instruction to those who may read them, - that while they illustrate some of the growing evils of society, they will also have a healthy moral influence on the mind of the reader, by inculcating virtue, and the necessity of upright, honorable conduct in all the relations of life. If what he has written shall have this effect, he is satisfied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
