Excerpt from Through the Eye of the Needle: A Romance With an IntroductionMuch the same might be said Of the social hospitali ties which raised our visitor's surprise. For example, many people are now asked to dinner who really need a dinner, and not merely those who revolt from the no tion of dinner with loathing, and go to it with abhor rence. At the tables of our highest social leaders one now meets on a perfect equality persons of interesting minds and uncommon gifts who would once have been excluded because they were hungry, or were not in the hostess's set, or had not a new gown or a dress-suit. This contributes greatly to the pleasure of the time, and promotes the increasing kindliness between the rich and poor for which our status is above all things notable.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Their Wedding Journey: With an Additional Chapter on Niagara Revisited, Illustrated by Augustus HoppinHey first met in Boston, but the match was made in Europe, where they afterwards saw each other; Whither, indeed, he followed her; and there the match was also broken Off. Why it was broken Off, and Why it was renewed after a lapse of years, is part of quite a long love story, Which I do not think myself qualified to rehearse, distrusting my fitness for a sustained or involved narration; though I am persuaded that a skillful romancer could turn the courtship of Basil and Isabel March to excellent account. Fortunately for me, however, in attempting to tell the reader of the wedding journey of a newly married couple, no longer very young, to be sure, but still fresh in the light of their love, I shall have nothing to do but to talk of some ordinary traits of American life as these appeared to them, to speak a little of well-known and easily accessible places, to present now a bit of land scape and now a sketch of character.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
