Excerpt from Maine Coast Romance: Ye Romance of Olde Pemaquid There is, my dear professor, in the inscription of this volume to you, a suggestion of carrying coals to Newcastle, yet I am impelled to it in open flagrancy of all the proprieties, perhaps; for I know of no one who is likely to be more patient under adversities of this sort, or so forgiving, once you are assured of the honesty of the trespasser's sentiment. It is not a far cry to the inception of the work of which this volume is the fourth installment, and your kindly and encouraging suggestions are cherished, as well as your fine appreciation of my plan of writing these five stories of days well nigh forgotten. It struck you as a field hitherto unoccupied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
