Author Description

Excerpt from Vignettes From Invisible Life This is a very pretentious little book. It assumes as a fact that very few even otherwise well-edu cated people, know anything whatever of the life here treated of; and consequently pretends to convey that knowledge to them, or at any rate to introduce the subject to their notice, and so perad venture awaken such an interest in their minds as shall induce further investigation.
