Book Description

Excerpt from A Life's Hazard, Vol. 1 of 3: Or the Outlaw of Wentworth Waste In the year 18 - there dwelt in Swords (which lies north of Dublin) a man of whom the antiquated villagers surmised much but knew little. The subject of all this ambiguous thought was one of fine symmetrical proportions, broad-shouldered and unconstrained in gait, while his bronzed, long-bearded face - despite its plaintive expression - wore an easy appearance of benevolent confidence that never comes by accident. His age was thirty-three years, but he looked considerably older. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
