Excerpt from Peter Pilgrim, Vol. 1 of 2: Or a Rambler's RecollectionsIt is only the'man of J aques's temper whom travel makes sad. He who is of an humour to see things on the dark side, to moralize instead of admiring, will find occasion enough for melancholy. T 0 such a man, every inch of the earth's surface is pregnant with thought, every scene has its record, every countenance its lesson; thought, record, and lesson being, for the most part, of a very sombre and la gubrious character To travel is, in such a case, only to become better acquainted with human folly, to ponder more deeply on the extraordinary perversity of a race, which, with the means of making a paradise of the globe, its glorious dwelling-place, has laboured for sixty centuries to convert it into a house of mourning, and having succeeded, is still toiling with might and main to 'keep it so. It is to force upon the mind those dreary recollections of the past, those dark fore bodings of the future - revealments and per tents of human destiny - which are so painful to the heart, so humiliating to the pride, I may even add, so terrific to the imagination, of him who loves, or would love, his species.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Hawks of Hawk-Hollow, Vol. 1 of 2: A Tradition of PennsylvaniaHear me, but don't believe me, after you have heard - says Calderon, the Spanish dramatic poet, with a droll spirit of honesty, only equalled by the English Burton, who concludes the tale of the Prebend, in his Anatomy of Melancholy, by ex claiming, You have heard my tale; but, alas! It is but a tale, - a mere fiction: 'twas never so, never like to be, - and so let it rest. We might imitate the frankness of these ancient Worthies, in regard to the degree of credit which should be ao corded to our tradition; but it would be at an ex pense of greater space and tediousness than we care to bestow upon the reader. We could not declare, in the same Wholesale way, that the folu lowing narrative is a mere fabrication, for such iti is not; while to let the reader into the secret, and 1 point out the different facts (for facts there are) that are interwoven with the long gossamer web of fiction, would be a work of both time and labour.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Belated Revenge: From the Papers of Ipsico PoeAt this I would put her Off with promises; but the passion for roving had gained possession of me, and, though I was always glad to get back at night and see Fanny, I was no less eager to steal Off in the morning. I never could understand how it was that when in the woods I longed for home, and when at home I was pining for the woods.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
