Excerpt from On the Branch Surely I have now almost come to the end of my journey, a journey which has already lasted fifty-seven years. Fifty-seven years my brain has been working, my heart beating and my feet walking. Very good machinery mine must certainly be, for I cannot see any sign yet of its being the worse for wear.

Providence has spared me such an ordeal, and I am eternally grateful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
