This 1851 American omnibus gathers the prose of the author of the hugely popular Proverbial Philosophy: the moral tales The Crock of Gold, The Twins and Heart, the fanciful sketches of An Author’s Mind, and Probabilities, a short work of Christian apologetics. The stories mix melodrama, comedy and earnest lessons on money, temptation and conscience.
A window onto the taste of the 1840s, from a writer who was among the most-read of his day. Download the free EPUB.
