About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1860. Excerpt: ... A RECEIPT FOR THE PRESERVATION OF BEAUTY. So you dread, Geraldine, At your age of fifteen, Growing old, though of charms ne'er so thrifty, As you 'd much rather die Than appear such a guy As your aunt Mary Ann does at fifty.

And the worst of it all Is that terribly small And forbidding development frontal, With furrows deep cut, Like a heavy cart's rut, Perpendicular and horizontal. No! I quite understand That if that were the strand Towards which your young bark is now steering, It were better go down Ere the roofs of the town O'er the afternoon wave are appearing. Yet I can't bear to think You should founder and sink Ere you 've reach'd the full t...
