Excerpt from Summer in Arcady: A Tale of NatureThis preface is a flag of war, here run up and set freely waving on the breastworks of this story. If any timorous stranger, approaching it as an unknown fortress, should hesitate in foot and courage for lack of means to discover whether it were more prudent for him to advance or to retire, he will need but to glance up at these colours. They will acquaint him at once with the real nature of the forces entrenched behind, with the spiritual country to which they belong, with the cause they have undertaken to defend. Should the knowledge thus gotten, reveal to him his unexpected nearness to the border-land of a friendly power, he is invited to enter the fort, to study the low earthworks, to inspect the smallish garrison.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
