Extracts From ChordalÂs Letters (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Extracts From Chordal's Letters: Comprising the Choicest Selections From the Series of Articles Entitled "Extracts From Chordal's Letters"A pleasure has also followed the writing of these letters. It has often come to the author's knowledge, that they were read by people who, as a rule, never read anything. It is not known that this proves merit in the letters, but there is a pleasure in knowing that one has in the smallest way, or in any way, been instrumental in getting anybody into the habit of reading anything.There is plenty of shop in these letters; good shop and bad shop; in fact, they are shop letters, written for shop men, by a shop man, who has as much interest in the people who go into the shops, as in the marvelous products which come out of the shops.As if there were not enough of the mechanic in these let ters, it seems a pity to miss the chance, in a preface, to express the View that we live in a peculiar land, under a peculiar form of government. Surrounded by peculiar social conditions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
