Excerpt from Notes From a Diary, Vol. 1 of 2: 1889-1891 Do you remember Johnson's words I set a high value on your friendship, and count your kindness as one of the chief felicities of my life. Do not fancy that an intermission of writing is a decay of kindness. No man is always in a dis position to write, nor has any man at all times something to say.' I am sure I may take the great man's words to myself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
