Pencillings by the Way, Vol. 2 of 2

Paperback (Forgotten Books Oct. 24, 2017)
Excerpt from Pencillings by the Way, Vol. 2 of 2Nothing, except some of the touching narration: of Scripture, ever seemed to me so affecting as the h' tory of the death of Socrates. It has been likened (1 think, not profanelyg to that of Christ.

I stood in the chamber which had received his last breath, not without emotion. The rocky walls about me had witnessed his composure as he received the cup from his weeping jailer; the roughly-hewn floor beneath my feet had sustained him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
