Book Description
Excerpt from The Skeleton and the Rose: And Gems by the Wayside Ful pilgrim in an unknown land; like a bird, With trembling Wings, buffeting the stormy air; such is the book of an unknown author launched upon the literary sea to sail, it may be, proudly, or, per chance, to founder in a single day The author of this little book lays no claim to literary merit - his only apology for publishing his efforts is the desire to gratify the oft repeated re quests of his friends, coupled With the hope that possibly the strains, though crudely cast, may prove to other hearts a consolation and a comfort, as they oft have to his own. Written in the wanderings of a varied pilgrim. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
