Book Description
Excerpt from The Roman Road Mrs. Groot, the lady that seemed so to have misadventured over and through the sound laws that should govern good primogeniture. If it had ever occurred to Mrs. Groot in an unwary moment of introspection to sum up herself by the light of her past, she would have said that she was a good woman who had made one little mistake but the seven deadly sins sprung from one root could not have shown signs of bearing a finer crop than did the little mistake Mrs. Groot had grafted on to the tree of her fortunes. By nature Mrs. Groot belonged to those infinitely wise people who never indulge in skirmishes with their own thoughts for the pleasure of fighting, but events pressed hard, and think she must whether she would or no. She sat now in the yellow drawing-room at Groot Hall, waylaid by an army of thoughts. Roland, meditative and amused, watched her from the terrace, then he flung away his cigar and entered the room.

Excerpt from The Road of Living Men: A Novel At Oporto, a little watering-place in northern Spain, I first met Mary Romany. I can shut my eyes, when all is still, and drift back.

Book Description
Excerpt from Etruscan Roman Remains in Popular Tradition Many peasants in the Romagna Toscana are familiar with scores of these spells, but the skilled repetition and execution of them is in the hands'of certain cryptic Witches, and a few obscure wizards who belong to mystic families, in which the occult art is preserved from generation to generation, under jealous fear of priests, cultured people, and all powers that be, just as gypsies and tramps deeply distrust everything that is not on the road, or. All honest folk, so that it is no exaggeration to declare that travellers have no confidence or faith in the truth of any man, until they have caught him telling a few lies. As it indeed befell me myself once in Bath, where it was declared in a large gypsy encampment that I must be either Romany or of Romany blood, because I was the biggest liar they had ever met - the. Lie in this case having been an arrogant and boastful, yet true, assertion on my part, that though penniless at the moment to stand treat, I had, at home, twenty-four gold sovereigns, eighteen shillings in Silver, and twopence in bronze And I don't believe, added the gypsy, that he had a d-d Sixpence to his name. But Ike's all rig/rt. So these travellers on the darkened road of sorcery soon recognised in the holder of the Black Stone of the Voodoo, the pupil of the Red Indian medaolifl, and the gypsy rye (and one who had, moreover, his pocket always full of fetishes in little red bags)-a man who was worthy of confi dence - none the less so since he was not ungenerous of pounds of coffee-small bottles of rum, cigars, and other minor requisites which greatly promote conviviality and mutual understanding in wisdom. Among these priestesses of the hidden spell an elder dame has generally in hand some younger girl whom she instructs, firstly in the art of bewitching or injuring enemies, and secondly in the more important processes of annulling or unbinding the spells of others, or causing mutual love and conferring luck. And here I may observe that many of the items given in this book are so jealously guarded as secrets, that. As I was assured, unless one was in the confidence of those who possess such lore, he might seek it in vain. Also that a great portion has become so nearly extinct that it is now in mm. Odin ertrrmr'r, while other details are however still generally known. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
