The sun was pleasant the birds sang overhead the roses were many for the month was June. A hundred lads were noisily running about. They had the look of being well fed decently clothed and kindly cared for. An old priest walked to and fro at times looking up from his breviary to say a pleasant word or to check some threatening quarrel. Presently he paused beside the boy who was at the moment intently watching a bird on a branch overhead. As the priest turned the boy had thrown himself on the grass and was laughing heartily. "What amuses thee my son" said the father. "I am laughing at the birds." "And why do they make thee laugh Fran The Century Co unknown books

Keller original decorated blue-green cloth front and spine panels stamped in gold t.e.g. fore-edge untrimmed bottom edge rough trimmed. First edition first binding. Collects two stories. The first printing of the novelette version of "The Autobiography of a Quack" first published anonymously in the ATLANTIC MONTHLY in October and November 1867. "It was a realistic account of the devices by which a dishonest and ignorant physician proceeds and it gave a veracious picture of the seamy side of life in Philadelphia and other large cities. Homeopathy spiritualism and other pet aversions of the orthodox physician were treated in a humorous way and the cold-blooded manner in which the quack tells his story made it a successful piece of irony." - Quinn American Fiction p. 311. "The Case of George Dedlow" Mitchell's first published story was published anonymously and without his knowledge in the ATLANTIC MONTHLY in July 1866. It is largely a realistic story of the feelings both physical and mental of an army surgeon who lost both arms and legs in a battle which occurred during the American Civil War. The satire becomes clear at the end when Dedlow is briefly united with his legs during a spiritualistic seance. Some readers missed the point and according to Mitchell "the spiritual incident at the end of the story was received with joy by the spiritualists as a valuable proof of the truth of their beliefs."
