Excerpt from Golden Sheaves: Gathered From the Fields of Ancient and Modern Literature; A Miscellany of Choice Reading for the Entertainment of the Old and the Young in Hours That Are Lonely and WearyThe author, yielding to the solicitation thus earnestly stated, has prepared this volume to meet the wants that seemed important and pressing, and in so doing has contented himself with simply binding under these green bands the selected products of some of the most eminent writers.And now if Golden Sheaves Shall carry one happier feeling, or purer thought, or higher aspira tion, into a home dark with care, and to a heart weary with toil, or sad with loneliness, the desire of the gleaner will have been answered, while the kindness of those who have permitted him to wander through their richly laden fields and reap what they had sown, will be as nobly rewarded as it is hereby gratefully ac knowledged.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
