Among the Goths and Vandals

More about the book

Excerpt from Among the Goths and Vandals When the Author began to write the matter now offered to the public, be had no idea of elaborating it into a volume. In its original form he presented it, with approval, to one of the leading monthly periodicals, and a suggestion was afterwards made that by an enlargement of the topics and details, he might succeed in producing a readable book. All that he at first contemplated was a hurried sketch, such as a man who had spent a long vacation in the country might easily supply - hence the opening chapter, which he was recommended to retain as an easy introduction to the general subject.
