Stamboul Nights Harrison Griswold Dwight

Yes said Sir Thomas, speaking of a fashionable novel, it certainly does seem strange; but the novelist was right. Such things do happen. But my dear sir, I burst out, in the rudest manner, think what life really is just think what happens! Why people suddenly swell up, turn dark purple; hang themselves on meat hooks; they are drowned in horseponds, run over by butchers carts, burnt alive and cooked like mutton chops! Logan Pear sail Smith: TRIVIA. OF THE following stories five have appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, three in Scribner s Magazine, and one each in Appleton s Magazine, the English Review, Harper s Weekly, Mc Clures Magazine, and Putnam s Monthly. To the courtesy of the editors and publishers of these periodicals I am indebted for permission to tell my tales a second time although I may add that not one of the tales is told identically as it was the first time. I am also under obligations to Messrs. Charles Scribner s Sons for kindly allowing me to use again an illustration and a Turkish seal already published by them. The sketch entitled Mehmish has for excel lent reasons been despised and rejected of all editors.
