CROWN OF LIFE (CLASSIC REPRINT

Excerpt from The Crown of LifeShould your train be the one that reaches West ley at noon you Will be apt to see a great majority of the population as you rattle over the switches between the sooty factories, across the main street and into the unpretentious station for at noon the factories relent for an hour, and buttons cease to be born. Then pale-faced women and girls in shirtwaists, and grimy, unshaven men in overalls, striving to cross the tracks in both directions are held in check by the barriers in your immediate foreground.

That is Westley.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
