Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Glimpses of New-York City Jewach, S. C, August I8th, 1852. My Dear Colonel: The high opinion I entertain of your moral worth as a man, your noble and generous bearing as a gentleman, your attainments as a scholar, the proficiency to which you have arrived in your profession, your ardent devotion to the South, and of the interest you manifest in promoting her literature, together with a long and cherished friendship, sustain me in tendering to you the following pages, as a humble offering of the appreciation which I have of these rare and inestimable characteristics that so much adorn our nature. Your incorrigible pertinacity to remain within the comfortless confines of Bachelor´s Island, and your acknowledged financial abilities, are further inducements for me to place this, my first born, under your supervision and maintenance; first, because I desire to relieve you from that cheerless and monotonous solitude which pervades your locale, by Intruding this "prattling brat;" secondly, I believe it is according to Divine Law, that those who have none of their own, should assist in supporting the children of others, else why say, "unto everyone which hath shall he given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall he taken away." (I can see no other interpretation - can you?) However, knowing that you have the charity to overlook, not only the irregularities and imperfections you may detect in the offspring, but the incongruities and inconsistencies known in the parent, it is with a full conviction that you will give the child a kind and hospitable reception, that I subscribe myself, as ever. Yours, The Author. Col. M.Thompson, Washington City, D. C. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
