Then a day came that was a revelation; I all at once had a deeper sense and more intimate knowledge of what summer really is to all the children of life; for it chanced that on that effulgent day even the human animal, usually regarded as outside of nature, was there to participate in the heavenly bounty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
