Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belles, Beaux and Brains of the 60's My publishers ask for my preface. What readers I reach will thank me for having forgotten it. It has been said that a book Without a preface is a salad Without salt. Possibly: but a salad that carried with each plate a recipe for its every ingredient and condiment, might fail of digestion. The literary kitchen is not always appetizing, however dainty its perfected products may, appear. The preface is that defunct bore of Greek drama Chorus exhumed to interrupt the action. The book that needs that is apt to prove a pretty bad one} for'the preface tells Why a book is written and at what it aims. The latter is indubitably to instruct or entertain, and to sell. Should these motors be reversed? The volume that does neither of these, without its own advice, will needs gather dust upon the trade shelves.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Her Priceless Love, or Bonny Belle Among the last to leave the store was one who did well, indeed, in closely veiling her face; for it was-one to tempt an anchorite to a second glance, so Witching was it in its seductive beauty. But for all the roguish glances of the dancing brown eyes, and the merry play of dimples about the rosebud lips, there was nothing coquettish in beautiful Viola Redmond. She knew as well as anybody the dangers of being in the streets of the great metropolis at night; but there was no Sign of apprehension in the radiant face as she drew the thick veil over it'. There was no tremor in the softly undulating bosom, as she buttoned her coat closely about her perfect form. She looked up and down the avenue as She stepped over the threshold to the pavement. There was no one to keep her company, 'so quickly had the tired girls hur ried homeward. But Viola only laughed softly, with a certain subdued happiness, and started uptown. Wait a moment, little Viola; I am going your way, I said a man's voice in a low, wheedling tone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reigning Belle Around her were such glowing colors, in masses, or ﬂoating airily through the room, that a face less richly tinted would have seemed pal-e by contrast. Behind her was a pile Of India Shawls, in which the rays Of a gorgeous sunset seemed to have mellowed down in one soft, glowing heap. By her side was a morning-dress Of Oriental cash mere, with Vivid palm-leaves running far up the skirt, which trailed down from the wire skeleton that supported it, and swept the ﬂoor like the plumage Of 3. Peacock. In fact this vast show-room was one panorama Of bright, beautiful things; and most beautiful Of all was the young girl, with her rich complexion, just verging on the bru nette, and her large, blue-gray eyes, that looked out from their sweeping lashes like shadowed waters where the rushes grow thickly. Her hair, too, was lustrous and abundant, neither black, auburn, nor brown, but with a gleam of each as the light chanced to fall on it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Blue Belles of England, Vol. 2 of 3 The coachman attempted no remonstrance. He had lived two years with her ladyship, during which period he had learned to know that the ardours of bluism are not to be subjected to any of the vulgar laws which inﬂuence the doings of ordinary people. He therefore drew up to the side of the street, and making a Signal to the footman to de scend, desired him to go into the porter house before which he had stationed him self, and inquire if they knew a family of the name of Hartley. N was the an swer given to the footman, and N was the answer passed on to the coachman. John tapped at the front window of the chariot, which was immediately let down. Does your ladyship happen to know in what street, or in what square, or may be, near what square, the lady lives? Said he, dipping his head, and pinching his hat.

Stretched back in an arm-chair, and resting his feet on the fender, sat Willy Cortlandt, the very picture of perfect contentment and quiet satisfaction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Emma, or the Three Misfortunes of a Belle It unfortunately happens that, in questions of dress and personal adornment, the course which a lady should take to attract and secure the love of her husband, or that of any other gentleman whom she wishes to please, is exactly the reverse of that best adapted to excite the admiration or awaken the envy of her female acquaintances. In forming their plans, therefore, in respect to the dress or the ornaments which they shall provide for themselves and wear, ladies are often called upon to choose one of these ends as the one that they will aim at, and sacrifice the other. A lady, having once entered upon an engagement of any kind, whether it be an important or trivial affair, must never allow herself to be enticed away from the obligation which she has incurred, but must consider herself sacredly bound by it to the end. A lady must not consider the gentleman whose partner she has consented to become as merely her attendant, and the minister to her caprices and pleasures.
