Excerpt from Ten Thousand a-YearOne word, only, he ventures to offer, with reference 'to the general character and tendency of ten thousand a-year He has occasionally observed it spoken of as merely a comic, amusing and laughable story 5 but he cannot help thinking that no one will so characterize it, who may take the trouble of reading it throughout, and be capable of comprehending its scope and object. Whatever may be its defects of execution, it has been written in a grave and earnest spirit 5 with no attempt whatever to render it acceptable to mere novel-readers; but with a steadfast view to that development and illustration, whether humorously or otherwise, of principles, of character, and of conduct, which the author had proposed to himself from the first, in the hope that he might secure the approbation of persons of sober, independent, and experienced judgment.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
