Book Description
Excerpt from Tales of Other Days In presenting the present volume of Tales to the public, it may not be amiss to allude to the partiality entertained for this description of fictitious composition in almost every age and country. The fondness of the Orientals for their far-famed Arabian Nights' Entertainments is well known. The roaming Arab ofttimes lays aside the lance and the scymetar to listen to these narratives of the doings of the good and evil genii. In the dark ages of our own country there was the jester with his "ryghte merrie tale," to enliven the knight and the noble - even royalty itself.

Book Description
Excerpt from Tales of to-Day: And Other Days A few words of explanation seem in order anent the aim and purport of this small volume, otherwise the tales of which it is composed may seem to the critical so many dig/bam membra, without form and void, fit subjects for the waste-basket. Briefly, then, it is a collection of those short stories that the French so excel in; the Tales of To-day being selected from among the most famous of our modern raconteurs, while the Tales of Other Days are some of those that served to amuse and delight our fathers and grandfathers forty, fifty, sixty years ago, the intention being to give some faint idea of the dif ference (if any) that characterizes the literary methods of the two epochs.

Excerpt from The Gentleman in Black: And Tales of Other Days You need not trouble yourself to do that, sir, said the stranger. To do what? Sir, interrogated Louis; I did not say anything. I know that, my dear sir, observed the gentleman in the cloak, still busying himself with his papers; but it is just the same thing. What is just the same thing? I don't at all comprehend you!
