Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The School for Husbands, Vol. 1 of 3: Or Moliere´s Life and Times Suetonius tells us, that when the youthful Nero was brought the first death-warrant to sign, his heart was lacerated by the deepest, and most sincere, emotions of pity and regret, and that, in appending his signature to it, the future tyrant exclaimed, with genuine remorse, - "Quam Vellem Ne Scire Litteras!" And, in like manner, I am never compelled by dire necessity to launch a book, and, by so doing, It is perhaps needless, though but just, to say that, as I publish this book on my om account, my publisher is not only irresponsible for this preface, but, with the usual horror that all Englishmen have at a woman´s wincing, no matter what her outrages may be, did all he could and more than he had a right to do, to try and persuade me not to publish it; but as my case is an unparalleled one, people cannot be surprised that I should have been goaded into defending myself in a manner somewhat exceptional.
