Excerpt from After Twenty Years a Dissertation on the Philosophy, of Life in Narrative Form The purpose of this volume is to discuss the philosophy of life in a concrete way, avoiding as I hope the tediousness that much attach to dissertations on honesty and charity and courage and the many virtues and vices of society when presented in the abstract. An attempt has been made to weave into the warp of narrative my woof of philosophy, with what success I must leave the reader to judge. The question naturally arises, are these real characters, and the answer is that in the main they are. I have reserved the right, however, to vary my colors and to modify my pattern according to my own design. Since my temporary residence has been in many different places, it is not to be presumed that all the subject matter was collected in any one geographical location. The objection will be raised that it is a patchwork, and I plead guilty to the charge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
