Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Leisure Hours Though literature was not, with my beloved father, a profession, the ensuing pages will bear testimony that his brain was not an idle one. Modest as was his own estimate of his abilities, he more than once expressed a purpose, whenever the convenient time should come, to gather his published and other written productions into a small printed volume. Had he lived to execute this design, it is not unlikely that, in the work of selecting, he would have cast aside some effusions to which the partial love and less severe taste of survivors willingly accord a permanent place, side by side with the worthiest things that he ever wrote. A considerable number of the pieces which are here brought together have appeared in print as newspaper contributions. Some of them, as occasion demanded, were published in other forms. Others still were dashed off to beguile a "leisure hour," or entertain a friend. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
