Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In a Little Town
There are two immortal imbecilities that I have no patience for. The other one is the treatment of little towns as if they were essentially different from big towns. Cities are not Ninevehs and Babylons any more than little towns are Arcadias or Utopias. In fact we are now unearthing plentiful evidence of what might have been safely assumed, that Babylon never was a Babylon nor Nineveh a Nineveh in the sense employed by poets and praters without number. Those old cities were made up of assorted souls as good and as bad and as mixed as now. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
