Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Half Three Score Years and Ten Very late one night, close to the midnight hour, I was sitting in a large, comfortable arm-chair with my head thrown back in a sleeping position. It had been my desire for some time past to use my pencil for the public use, in order to exert a moral influence upon the world. Recently, having attended the last sad but beautifully extended rites to a dear departed friend, the words, "Man´s Life on This Earth is Three Score Years and Ten," kept repeating themselves again and again to me, as I thoughtfully wended my way home that afternoon. Awaking from my drowsiness on the night above mentioned, I determined to write the story of the life of a young woman, now at the age of "Half of Three Score Years and Ten." As a little child, she was a next-door neighbor of mine. We lived on neighboring streets of the same city for more than thirty-five years, and I, having seen the important events in her life during that time, shall be enabled to draw upon my imagination for details. It is my desire to write a story as near to true life as possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
