Excerpt from The Gold Bug Many years ago, I contracted an intimacy with a Mr. Le grand. Lie was of an ancient Huguenot family, and had once been wealthy, but a series of mis fortunes had reduced him to want. To avoid the mortification consequent upon his disasters, he left Newvan's Island, near Charleston, S Carolina. This Island is a very sin, one. It consists of little else the sea sand, and is about miles long. Lts breadth at no exceeds a quarter of a mile. Separated from the main land scarcely perceptible creek, 0 its way through a wilderne reeds and slime, a favourite] of the marsh-hen. The vcgct as might be supposed, is sea at least dwarfish. No trees c magnitude are to be seen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
