4.9/5 (32763 ratings)

Description:This volume was published in 1898. Excerpts: The longevity of the Mule is proverbial. He lives on and on, until his origin becomes a musty myth, and age erects a tumor on his brow which betokens superb development of spirituality. The endurance of a hallucination is perhaps greater still. Our civil war closed more than thirty years ago. The Mules em- ployed in the army are mostly dead -- not so the hallucinations. These still linger, picturesque but fatiguing. There still survives in every northern town and village at least one man who habit- ually asserts, who is willing to verify by afifidavit, worst of all, who steadfastly believes, that he put down the rebellion. The Mules are not supposed to have understood the war, and consequently can not be expected to hold themselves respoonsible for its results. But the man of distorted per- spective, who measures the circumference of the universe by the diameter of his own egotism, shrinks from no exaltation and shirks no responsibility. He is festooned with self-complacency, wearing always a fourteenth century smile of content.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
