Mabel Howard, my little heroine, was not exactly an English girl, though she was the daughter of English parents. She was born in India, in Calcutta, where her father, Colonel Howard, was stationed for several years with his regiment. Mabel was not, I am sorry to say, a bright and blooming little maiden, though she had a sweet, intelligent face, and very endearing ways. From her birth, she had been pale, slight, and feeble. The climate was very bad for her; and, though all possible pains were taken with her health, she did not gain strength, but grew weaker and weaker. At last, when she was about nine years of age, it was resolved to send her to England, to stay with her grandparents, who lived in London. Neither her papa nor her mamma could go with her; but Katuka, her ayah, or native nurse, a kind, faithful woman, would go and stay with her always, and a friend of Colonel Howard, an officer returning home, would take charge of them both till they should reach London.

Httle offering to the great American public is my first offence in the book line for some years. It is surely not a grave offence, being composed of light letters, contributed during the last eighteen months to the New York Times. They were written irregularly and hurriedly, in brief intervals of travel, visiting, lecturing, and sight -seeing. Unfortunately a severe illness in the late summer and early autumn prevented me from giving them the careful revision they greatly needed. They go into print the second time with all their old sins on their heads, the original sin of having been a journal of travel over well-traveled paths ;sins of omission in matter of philosophic thought and valuable statistics ;sins of commission in the way of puns and slang and foolish jesting which is not convenient.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
