Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Petrie Estate Lights had been out for an hour in High Hill Seminary. The principal had long since retired from the duties of the day. That excellent lady had, indeed, relinquished one care after another to her able assistant, until she herself did scarcely more than ask a blessing at meals, and conduct prayers. The annual circular, it is true, was composed by the pen of the principal. This document was a mingling of scenery, piety, cost and dimensions of buildings, ideals of womanhood, and delicately hinted social advantages, all set forth in flowery English of the old school. Among Miss Trowbridge´s toppling sentences, with their pretty adjectives and pronouns of doubtful antecedents, one, after all, made out a very comfortable and creditable education for a young girl up to the age of eighteen. Miss Trowbridge reserved for herself one more function. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
