Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Quite Alone, Vol. 1 of 3 The concluding portion of these volumes - that is to say, from page 185, vol. iii., to the end - is not mine. "Quite Alone" has been finished during my absence from England by "another hand." It is now my duty, in fairness to the public, and in justice to my publishers and myself, briefly and candidly to explain how it has come about that a work put forth under my name contains many pages not written by me. I will at once drop the convenient, but very frequently disingenuous, plea of ill health. I was, it is true, when I left this country more than a year since, exceedingly unwell, and have had since then several attacks of influenza, a calenture or two, a low fever, and a touch of what seemed to be premonitory of the vomito negro; but, on the whole, I have been no more an invalid than could be expected in the case of a traveller rushing from one trying climate to another, and have, thank God, "kept my health" in a remarkable degree. When I quitted home, in November, 1863, the novel of "Quite Alone" was about half finished. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
