Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from My Third Book: A Collection of Tales There is a pleasant legend which tells how the Hindoo maidens, in whose hearts love is beginning to dawn, go to the banks of the Ganges, and launeh, caeh one, her little cocoa-shell boat with its lighted lamp. Kneeling on the river´s brink, they watch till the light dies, or the boat, with its lamp still burning, goes out of sight, and from its fate they augur hope or despair. Twice before I have made my venture, as doubtfully as they, on the tide of public opinion, and now I have come again to the river´s brink to send forth "My Third Book." What the future will decree for it - genial airs, warmth, and sunlight, or adverse gales - I know not. I can but wait. Hitherto I have found kind friends among my readers, and I hope the gift I bring to-day may prove a passport to their continued regard. Some of the tales herein embodied may be recognized by those familiar with the magazine literature of the past four years; but, I trust, their reappearance in a new garb will not be unwelcome. Other portions of the contents are entirely new; and of all, whatever their imperfections, I can but say, as those who proffer humble entertainment to distinguished guests, "Still the poor mansion offers thee its best."
