Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

"The Lights and Shadows of Real Life" by T. S. Arthur presents a very touching picture of the intricacies of human life. The lights and shadows are blessed in the novel. The author emphasises upon the fact that the dark clouds not always remain in the sky, and after the dark clouds have disappeared, blue sky and light appear. As the heart becomes filled with better purposes through the trials and pains of adversity, or comes out purer from the furnace of affliction, the clouds disperse, and the blessed sunlight comes again. Lay this up for your consolation, all ye who are in trouble and affliction, and look hopefully in the future. It will not always remain dark as in the present time.

Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of German Life, Vol. 2 of 2Albertine's Spirits sunk; She sat silent and thought ful beside her uncle, to whose mind these scenes of desolation recalled the painful circumstances attendant on his flight from Darmstein. Their road now lay along the woody bank 'of the Moldau. The bright sun which had cheered the commencement of their journey was overcast - heavy, rain pattered among the trees, and chill gusts of wind scattered the yellow leaves, which rose whirling into the air, and then fell into the dark and rapid stream below. After follow ing for some miles the windings of the river, the mas sive towers of the castle suddenly appeared before them on the summit of a high precipitous rock.The count was the first to perceive his once happy home. He silently pointed to it, while a deep sigh revealed that his thoughts were with the dead. Alber tine understood and sympathized with his feelings. Depressed, and struggling against a vague sense of fear, she entered her future abode, the dilapidated aso pect of which was ill calculated to dissipate gloomy impressions. Nothing presented itself to her View, as they passed through a long range of lofty and deserted apartments, but tattered moth-eaten tapestry, defaced gilding, broken mirrors, and mutilated chairs and tables. The Shattered casements were, in many places, boarded Up; several of the doors had been torn off for firewood, and the walls disfigured with the uncouth scrawls of an idle and mischievous soldiery.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
