Book Description

Excerpt from The Carissima: A Modern Grotesque This story was originally named "The Power of the Dog." Last year my attention was called to the fact that this title had been appropriated. I altered the name of my story to that which it now bears. I have, however, retained the phrase in Leversedge's letter in the last chapter; which, I may add, was written and submitted to Messrs. Methuen & Co. long before I had heard of book now bearing the title I had originally chosen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
