Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life as I´ve Found It: A Gathering of Experiences and Observations of the Common People, Relating to Their Aspirations, Trials and Tribulations but More Especially My Own Prosaic Life What are we here for, anyway? About a decade ago at a Republican national convention, the usual palaver of triviality, buncombe patriotism and the like had been more than maintained. A lull in the proceedings occurred such as often follows the wind work before real business is inaugurated. Then it was that our old friend, Webster Flanigan, of Texas, caught the attention of the chair and exclaimed: "Mister President, what are we here for, if it isn´t for the offices?" "Web." hit the nail on the head. He then began to "say things." I will be equally frank and tell you I am primarily moved by the one great utilitarian object, money. As to whether I am deserving of it from the nature of my work I must leave to the reader. However, permit me to say: I frequently notice that people go to sleep while the preacher is holding forth and I am assured that the devil is still rampant and sheol crowded with tenants. The medical profession has not conquered disease, and fat graveyards still mark the land. The legal profession has not yet abolished jails and the gibbet in inaugurating law and justice, and so on I might enumerate. Why then should I offer apologies when offering you a book, at least as far as hesitating to claim for it value for value? I am my own publisher. Not alone from choice, but as much so from necessity. In order to have had another for a publisher I would have been bound by conventional rules. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
