    Gelett Burgess

    Paperback (Ulan Press, Aug. 8, 2012)
    This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, Jan. 17, 2018)
    Excerpt from Lady Méchante: Or Life as It Should Be; Being Divers Precious Episodes in the Life of a Naughty Nonpareille; A Farce in FiligreeI shoot my arrow into the air, but I shall find it, at last, in the heart of a friend. For we are of the gar gayle's kin, you and I. We know that there is a re verse of beauty, not ugliness, which is the inverse. We have studied its laws, which few have known since the spirit of wonder died from men. And as with art, so with literature men can stand on their heads, but they may not get through the looking-glass. Let 's draw nearer modern music, perhaps, and try in some such way for emotions, though they be thin and frail.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
