Excerpt from Golden GrainsKind friends, I have turned over many books, and within the books and volume Of my brain could find no fitting title, unless I forged one. In blind despair I seized on Webster, and pored his pages o'er and o'er, from Alpha to Omega, and then them backwards turned, seeking a title with charms in it, whose title more. At last methought to be brief, and have no name, - no title, dreaming all the while that title-leaves foretell the nature, when, on a sudden, Grains crossed my vision, and as quick as thought I wrote it down in ebon - colored ink, and sealed this title with a loving kiss 3 then Showed it to a friend, who, smiling, said that Grams were dry, and added Golden to please my vanity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
