Book Description

Excerpt from The Happy Home Health Guide Of making books there is no end, exclaimed the Wise Man nearly a thousand years before our era, and yet the work of making books has been so diligently pursued that throughout the world print ing presses are running day and night, turning into print the written thoughts of a multitude of teeming brains. In the light of Solomon's declaration, that there is nothing new under the sun, it excites wonder as to what authors can find to say that has not been said over and over again. A new book, to merit favorable notice in our day, must serve some practical purpose, either to amuse, to instruct, or to console.
