Excerpt from Gabriel Conroy Bohemian Papers, Stories of and for the Young, Vol. 1 of 2 Snow. Everywhere. As far as the eye could reach - fifty miles, looking southward from the highest white peak, - filling ravines and gulches, and dropping from the walls of canons in white shroud-like drifts; fashioning the dividing ridge into the likeness of a monstrous grave, hiding the bases of giant pines, and completely covering young trees and larches; rimming with porcelain the bowl-like edges of still, cold lakes, and undulating in motionless white billows to the edge of the distant horizon. Snow lying everywhere over the California Sierras on the 15th day of March, 1848, and still falling. It had been snowing for ten days: snowing in finely granulated powder, in damp, spongy flakes, in thin, feathery plumes; snowing from a leaden sky steadily; snowing fiercely, shaken out of purple-black clouds in white flocculent masses, or dropping in long level lines, like white lances from the tumbled and broken heavens. But always silently! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Reminiscences of an Old Bohemian Guildhall, that defendant's Counsel (now Mr. Baron Huddle ston) put this question to me with an air of triumph, as if he felt quite sure he had me there, and I. Was out of Court. However, I quietly replied that I did not hold with prefaces, not deeming them either useful or ornamental, and that I had never agreed to supply a preface to the book then before the Court.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bohemian Life: Or the Autobiography of a Tramp The custom of writing prefaces is a servile one that has come down to us from those good old days when authors had to choose between the alternatives of starving in garrets or else procuring patronage by fawning like spaniels on such vain, noble personages were willing to pay for the pleasure of seeing their grand names and mythical virtues embalmed in fulsome prints. When, in the progress of events, it ceased to be necessary to cringe before such beneficence, the literary craftsman, at loss by force of habit for something to propitiate, bethought him of the expedient of cringing to the reader, grotesquely ignoring that a book worth the reading needs no apology, and that to a volume of the other sort it is superfluous to add an extenuation which, in the nature of things, is necessarily an enlargement of the offense.

"Ah! that is easier said than done, Marc," she answered, familiarly, calling him by an abbreviation of his name. "You know I can seldom stay still - unless when I am thinking deeply."

Excerpt from In Bohemia Songs That Are Not Sung. Do not praise: a smile is payment more than meet for what is done; Who shall paint the mote's glad raiment floating in the molten sun? Nay, nor smile: for blind is eyesight, ears may hear not, lips are dumb; From the silence, from the twilight, wordless but complete they come. Songs were born before the singer: like white souls awaiting birth, They abide the chosen bringer of their melody to earth. Deep the pain of our demerit: strings so rude or rudely strung, Dull to every pleading spirit seeking speech but sent unsung; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
