I would like to know if anyone has read this book?
It's a great read and I would love to compare notes with any other readers.

Compare notes? If I read a book, I , err, read id, I don't start writing!
If it's from 1850 it must be available on the net as a free e-book. |

I've not read it but did a search on it.....and now am quite curious to read it. It is available online but for me, not quite the same as holding a book. |

The language is beautiful. Heavy reading at first. I have only found the first chapter in the net.
An interesting thing about reading a book this old (my copy 1897 print) is the things the you find. A finger print on one page a dog eared corner a bit of snot. It was given to my great grandfather in 1897 he gave to his grandson who did the same and passed it on to me. |

How nice to have had it in your family for so long.
There's something quite nice about reading a really old book. I often go searching for first editions at the local antique stores. |
