Excerpt from Reminiscences and Experiences in the Life of an EditorThe village Hotel was the Exchange, where those who delighted in hearing, seeing and telling something new, loved to congregate, upon the ar rival of the stages at morning, noon and eve. Here the village 'squire, the village lawyer and the village wits were sure to be found. What others did not hear or see, they were presumed to be favored in hearing or seeing, and passengers were interviewed with the modest assurance that has been transmitted through the lapse of time, even to this present. When the bustle and excitement occasioned by the alighting and re-em barking of the passengers abated, then it was that the idlers and gossips would gather around to hear the worthies aforenamed discourse upon what they had been able to gather - the village wit would put in a word by way of finish and slowly would the crowd disperse.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
