Лондон. 1900 год. Издательство "Ward Lock & Co Limited". Издательский переплет. Состояние хорошее. Сохранена оригинальная обложка. В тексте присутствуют пометки карандашом. "Queechy" enters yet more than "The Wide, Wide World" into the phases of American life - the ups and downs, the struggles, the reverses which chequer the moral surface of this new world. And while thus discoursing of the Country, it is no wonder if national topics be now and then touched upon - some of those disputable and disputed points about which the world will never agree; it would be impossible else to give that individuality without which description loses half its charm. But in such parts of the book, let the reader recollect that the writer must make her people talk in character; and that, while she would not wilfully mis-state the truth, on the whole, the reader's discernment must find the thread of it through all the various prejudices, local feelings, old grievances, and new imaginations... Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Queechy (Elizabeth Wetherell)
