Excerpt from Modern Methuselahs: Or Short Biographical Sketches of a Few Advanced Nonagenarians or Actual Centenarians Who Were Distinguished in Art, Science, Literature, or Philanthropy, Also, Brief Notices of Some Individuals Remarkable Chiefly for Their LongetivityIn conclusion, the compiler found so much interest in the variety of characters thus summoned before him - individuals of different climes, of eras long removed from each other, of varying national customs, and of modes of life widely diverse - that he thought others might be glad to share the interest with him, the more so as the greater number of the lives are not those which are over and over again brought before the public. He has also endeavoured to present, as far as possible, more of the personal history and domestic habits of those whose lives are reviewed than is generally given.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
