Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Entertaining Anecdotes From Every Available Source A good story always entertains and enlightens, and when personal, reveals in a striking manner the essential elements in character. To say that Geo. Washington was truthful is well; but to narrate the story of "the hatchet" seals the fact with the signet of immortality. The appropriate anecdote pleasingly imparts zest and interest to all conversation, and adds invariably to conversational ease and power. In this volume the compiler has aimed to present a great and wholesome variety of fresh, interesting and instructive anecdotes, adapted for the general reader, and also applicable for illustrations. They have been written and selected with much care, and will be found in every instance, pleasing and entertaining. Classifications have been made for the reader´s convenience, and "Falling Leaves" are added at the close of the volume to give variety. Acknowledging his indebtedness to the press and friends, the compiler respectfully dedicates the volume to the public.
