Book Description
Excerpt from Odd, or Even? Nobody minded Frances and her queer sayings. She was always an odd, as she declared. This doesn't settle the calling, said Euphemia. I don't know 'why we should worry to return a visit that was altogether accidental, any way, when we can't keep up the acquaintance, and there are loads of people we really do know, and owe to. We shall never get round. That comes of taking your friendships in cargoes, quoth Miss Ammah. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Odd People

Pages : 452
Book Description
Excerpt from Odd People: Being a Popular Description of Singular Races of Man Perhaps no race of people has more piqued the curiosity of the civilized world than those little yellow savages of South Africa, known as the Bushmen. From the first hour in which European nations became acquainted with their existence, a keen interest was excited by the stories told of their peculiar character and habits: and although they have been visited by many travellers, and many descriptions have been given of them, it is but truth to say, that the interest in them has not yet abated, and the Bushmen of Africa are almost as great a curiosity at this hour as they were when Di Gama first doubled the Cape. Indeed there is no reason why this should not be, for the habits and personal appearance of these savages is just now as it was then, and our familiarity with them is not much greater. Whatever has been added to our knowledge of their character, has tended rather to increase than diminish our curiosity. At first the tales related of them were supposed to be filled with wilful exaggerations, and the early travellers were accused of dealing too much in the marvellous. This is a very common accusation brought against the early travellers; and in some instances it is a just one.

Book Description
Excerpt from Driftwood: A Modest Collection of Random Rhymes, Written at Odd Times for Odd People The undersigned, yours truly, does not expect the lines recorded herein to meet the approval of the classic ally educated. His literary attainments are not worth mentioning. He never attended anything higher than a common country school, and that but three months of the year for a verv brief term of years. This preface is written that those who read may be prepared for the worst. A preface is not usually read at all. This is unfortunate, as in many instances it would save people the annoyance of reading the book. In our present state of evolutionary civilization there are too many books, and people would be happier Should they read less and think more.
