Excerpt from Sharing My Note Book
This may be the last book to come from our press, now the oldest in America. The road is now short, the sands are running low in the hour-glass and soon comes the night. But in creating this book, we are happy to have escaped the despondent mood in which Mark Twain found himself in the concluding days of his book writing, when he penned these lines: There ain't nothing more to write about, and I am rotten glad of it, because if I'd a knowed what a trouble it was to make a book, I wouldn't a tackled it, and ain't a-going to no more.
So we launch our little craft with the blessings once bestowed by Wordsworth.
