The Club of Queer Trades
Paperback
(Forgotten Books March 22, 2017)
Excerpt from The Club of Queer Trades
The discovery of this. Strange society was a curiously refreshing thing; to realize that there were ten new trades in the world was like looking at the first ship or the first plough. It made a man feel what he should feel, that he was still in the childhood of the world. That I should have come at last upon so Singular a body was, I may say without.
