Excerpt from Roxobel, Vol. 1 of 3The beloved individual of whom I am speaking, was, had he been measured by line and rule as a tailor would measure his customer, one of the least, and, altogether, most minute of any individual of the hu man race, not exactly counted a dwarf, with whom I ever met, although he rose in the scale of real greatness above all persons I ever knew, when the sterling qualities of his mind and heart were duly appreciated; for, assuredly, no mortal man was ever elevated like this man above the meaner passions with which our nature is so frequently and so unhappily exercised. But, strange to say, long as he dwelt with us at Roxobel, we never knew his parent age, nor whence he came, nor his reasons for remaining with us. It is more than twenty five years since he 'first appeared in our beautiful Village, and, as he was a total stranger when he took up his abode there.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
