Book Description

Excerpt from The Light of the West: With Some Other Wayside Thoughts, 1865 1908 The papers collected in this volume were written or spoken during halts in a life which had other work to do: the oldest paper dates nearly half a century ago, the youngest is but a few months old. Some of them have already appeared in print, others have not previously seen publication none pretend to be more than popular, or, per haps, unpopular, views of some men, and of a few things. The circumstances under which all were put together were not conducive to the slower forms of contemplation. As one walked one had to watch not only the road in front, but the country on both sides. It was only at the halts that one could read. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
