The Salamander
Hardcover
(Forgotten Books Sept. 17, 2017)
Excerpt from The SalamanderPrecarious the lot of the author who elects to show his public what it does not know, but doubly exposed he who in the indiscreet exploration of customs and man ners publishes what the public knows but is unwilling to confess! In the first place incredulity tempers censure, in the second resentment is fanned by the necessity of self-recognition. For the public is like the defendant in matrimony, amused and tolerant when unconvinced of the justice of a complaint, but fiercely aroused when de fending its errors.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
