Paperback, [EAN: 9781331713074], Forgotten Books, Forgotten Books, Book, [PU: Forgotten Books], Forgotten Books, Excerpt from Evenings of a Working Man: Being the Occupation of His Scanty LeisureThe indulgent reader of this little book - not called indulgent, I may hope, by courtesy alone, but with some reference also to its title and pretensions - may very naturally inquire how it comes to have a preface to which my name is attached; nor is the reader's right or inclination to be satisfied on this head, likely to be much diminished, when I state, in the outset, that I do not recommend it as a book of surpassing originality or transcendent merit. That I do not claim to have discovered, in humble life, an extraordinary and brilliant genius. That I cannot charge mankind in general, with having entered into a conspiracy to neglect the author of this volume, or to leave him pining in obscurity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
