Author Description

Excerpt from A Dream of Heaven: And Other Discourses <p>As it was my high privilege to have been chosen to speak, on certain important occasions, about matters of more than passing moment, it will appear only natural that I should try to fulfil the wish of those to whom I owed that invitation, to have for themselves and for the Public, in permanent form, a record of the work or object in which they were and are so nobly and devoted ly interested. Owing to the reaction, in literary as well as in other orders of enterprise, consequent upon the Great War, that desire could not have been hitherto realised in fact. <p>Now, therefore I offer this book to my friends as the best and only tribute of esteem and gratitude which it is in my power to pay. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
