Excerpt from Dashes at Life With a Free PencilSo well are these unfortunate persons' names known by those who read the book in England, that in the copy which I have from a circulating library, they are all filled out in pencil. And I would here beg the reader to remark that these are. Private individuals, compelled by no literary or official distinction to come out from their privacy and figure in print, and in this, if not in the taste and quality of my descriptions, I claim a fairer escutcheon than my self-elected judge - for where is a person's name recorded in my letters who is not, either by tenure of public office, or litera ry, or political distinction, a theme of daily newspaper comment, and of course fair game for the traveller.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
