Excerpt from The Pacha of Many Tales: With IllustrationsAnd as the world spins round, the why is of little moment. The honors are bequeathed, but not the good or the evil deeds, or the talents by which they were obtained. In the latter we have but a life interest, for the entail is cut 05 by death.

Never then inquire why this or that man has been raised above his fellows; but, each night as you retire to bed, thank Heaven that you are not a king.And, if I may digress, there is one badge of honor in our country which I never contemplate without serious reflection rising in my mind: it is the bloody hand in the dexter chief of a baronet - now often worn, I grant, by those who, per haps, during their whole lives, have never raised their hands in anger. But my thoughts have returned to days of yore the ironed days of ironed men, when it was the symbol of faithful service in the field - when it really was bestowed upon the hand imbrued in blood; and I have meditated whether that hand, displayed with exultation in this world.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
