Description:Excerpt from The Story of Judeth a Tale of Bethany: With Poems of Home, Heart, and Hearth In presenting this volume to the public, the Author feels that he has but imperfectly accomplished that which he sought to do, and that the work is but a dim shadow of the ideal which he would reach. Whatever faults there are, and there are many and serious ones, are in the infirmity of the writer, and not in the subject. It may seem presumption, and he is conscious of the justness of the charge against him, to attempt a work so far beyond his ability to do it the justice it merits. But in its reception by the public he hopes, that, while the work itself may not reach the standard he has sought to attain, yet the subject may receive that fair and candid consideration which it merits; and that, looking beyond the Author and his work, the higher ideal may be reached by the reader. Should this be achieved, he is content to be considered but as the guide leading the way to the beautiful gardens of Hesperides, although not being permitted to enter. Before the simple and fragmentary story of the death and resurrection of Lazarus, given in the Gospels, we have stood wondering why a thing so momentous in its bearing and effect, not only in the life and future of the dead brought to life, but to the world of mankind, should be so lightly passed over, and left in utter silence. Far be it from us to seek to supply aught to this story, either in continuation or in supposition, well knowing that such attempt would well merit the bitterest rebuke that could be administered to our temerity. As it is given we leave it, adding nothing, nor detracting aught from it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
