Excerpt from The Wanderer, Vol. 2 Yes, - yes, I answered eagerly. The paper was instantly thrust into my hands, and I heard a sound of steps retreating rapidly. I lost not a moment in reading the few words it contained. Be here to morrow evening at the same hour. I have suffered much on your account, - destroy this. It was the hand of my brother Juan, that hand so well remem bered from our late eventful correspondence, - that hand whose traces I never beheld without feeling corresponding characters of hope and confidence re traced in my soul, as lines before invisible appear on exposure to the heat that seems to vivify them. I am surprised that between this and the following evening my agitation did not betray me to the com munity. But perhaps it is only agitation arising from frivolous causes, that vents itself in external indications, - I was absorbed in mine. It is certain, at least, that my mind was all that day vacillating like a clock that struck every minute the alternate sounds, There is hope, - there is no hope. The day, - the eternal day, was at last over.. Evening came on; how I watched the advancing shades! At vespers, with what delight did I trace the gradual mellowing of the gold and purple tinges that gleamed through the great eastern window, and cal culated that their western decline, though slower.

Excerpt from The Wanderer: A Tale of Life's Vicissitudes The title of the following story, in a great measure explains itself: therefore but few words will be necessary by way of preface. "The fewer the better," I fancy I hear the reader exclaim, for I believe there is truth in the assertion, that few persons read a preface, and the few who do read it think it a bore; but it has, like many other disagreeable things, become a necessary evil. I shall therefore merely observe, that in tracing the career, not only of the hero of my story, but that of every character that figures therein. I have fixed my thoughts on a living model, and have followed the original as closely as it has been possible for me to follow it, and at the same time weave from a ma3s of facts a continuous story, and develop a pre-arranged plot. My story is no less fact, because it has assumed the form of fiction. Readers now-a-days look into fiction for fact. Now-a-days, do I say! Ought I not rather to say. that fiction has always been employed to exemplify fact! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Wanderer's Necklace IT chances that I, the Editor Of these pagesmfor, in truth, that is my humble function - have recovered a considerable knowledge Of a bygone life Of mine. This life ended in times that are comparatively recent, namely, early in the ninth century, as is fixed by the fact that the Byzantine Empress, Irene, plays a part in the story. The narrative, it Will be Observed, is not absolutely consecutive; that Is to say, all the details are not filled in. Indeed, it has returned to me in a series Of scenes or pictures, and although each scene or picture has to do with every other, there are sometimes gaps between them. To take one example among several - the Jour ney of'olaf (in those days my name was Olaf, or Michael after I was baptised) from the North to Con stantinople is not recorded. The curtain drops at Aar in Jutland and rises again in Byzantium. Only those events which were Of the most importance seem to have burned themselves into my subconscious memory; many minor details have yanished, or, at least, I cannot find them. This, however, does not appear to me to be a matter for regret. If every episode Of a full and eventful life were painted in, the canvas would be over loaded and the eye that studied it bewildered.
