Excerpt from Edward Burton The author of this volume believes in the wholesome ness Of idealism and optimism. It is perhaps unneces sary to state that no attempt has been made to construct a novel upon conventional realistic lines. Systems and doctrines find their only expression in character, and distinctive personality may be regarded as the outcome of institutions. It seems to be evident that the delicate pen-photography of the ignoble in human nature is too Often the animus in current literature. A subtle tone of unwholesome pessimism and hopelessness is thereby diffused. Idealization Of character may not be regarded as artistic, but whether or not this attempt be successful, the writer will still believe that in that direction lies a promising field too little occupied. It may be well to add that in this narrative no individual has served as a model for character outline. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
