Excerpt from Agathos; The Rocky Island: And Other Sunday Stories Such has been, to a remarkable degree, the effect of the first telling of these stories in the Author's family, and such he cannot help hoping may be more widely their effect when they are given to the public. The questions at the close of each are designed as tracks, not as grooves, and they may easily be multiplied or reduced in number, according to the judgment of the parent, or the age and intelligence of the child. Some of them are the very answers he received from his children. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
