Excerpt from Emma Lou Her BookI'r may be well to state that this diary is given to the public in the identical form in which it came to us, as far as is compatible with modern methods of bookmaking. The tell-tale pasteboard covers, with their ink-stains and their scraps of girlish penman ship Emma Lou, written with many quirks and ¿ourishes and framed by a crinkly line, and Dorothy and Bert, and the date April, 1891 - these and other individualizing features must be lost in the printed copy, but in no instance has the editor ven tured to correct the grammar or mode of expression. Emma Lou's constructions are a little peculiar at times she is careless in the use of adjective for adverb and adverb for adjective, her diction is not elegant. Change this, however, and something essential to her personality and her years would be gone. There fore, before criticising her in this respect, call to mind certain blotted folios of your own, laid away at the bottom of old trunks, perhaps, or on the attic shelves, and do not judge her too harshly. She was only sixteen, and this portion of her life was written as she lived it - very crudely, but very honestly.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
