Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wreaths of Friendship: A Gift for the Young
You have no doubt noticed that it is a very common thing for an author to take up several of the first pages of his book with apologies to his readers. First, per haps, he apologizes for writing at all and secondly, for writing so poorly - just as if it was a crime to make a book, for which crime the author must get down on his knees, and humbly beg the public's pardon. We think we shall not take this course, on the whole, for this reason, if for no other that we do not feel very guilty about what we have done. But as the plan of our book is somewhat new, we have been thinking it would be well enough, in intro ducing it to you, at least to tell how we came to make it.
