Excerpt from Sketches From a Student's WindowI tell not my tale to a cold and careless world. I waste not sighs upon ears that are deaf. A. Story of misfortune is a pearl too precious to be cast before those who would only trample upon it. I speak to the tender and sympathetic ear of those whom experience has taught to contrast the bliss of friendship, indulged without suspicion or alloy, with the bitterness of dis appointed trust and betrayed affection.I had the misfortune to lose both my parents at an early age. My mother died when I was a boy, and my father followed her soon after I entered my twenty first year. I was an only child, and without relatives; but my father committed me to the care of a friend by the name of Plum, of whom he had a high opinion, and to whom he was fondly attached. Whether my father's choice of a guardian for one whose imagination was stronger than his judgment, and whose passions were more active than his principles, was wise or not, is a question which I leave to be decided by the issue of my story.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
