"Another tax on patience, purse and brain, For fame just printed, or for greed of gain!" Cease, gentle Public! spare the censor´s tasks! No fame the author seeks, no ducats asks!

Friends say: "What´s printed for our eyes alone Is not Sir Critic´s business, but our own!" All this is true, good friends! but you´ll Confess, Dame Grandy Seans your dinners, and your dress About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
