Arthur >> Off-Hand Sketches >> Preface Preface THE reader cannot but smile at some of the phases of life presented in this volume. Yet the smile will, in no case, the author thinks, be at the expense of humanity, good feeling, or virtue. Many of the incidents given, are facts embellished by a few touches of fancy. In all, lessons may be read that some, at least, will do well to lay to heart. Literature Network >> T.S. Arthur >> Off-Hand Sketches >> Preface About T.S.
