A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Présentation de l'éditeur

And in yon wither dbracken slair, Slumbered the -wolf and shaggy bear; Once on that lone and trackless sod High chiefs and mail-clad warriors trod, And where the roe her bed has made, Their last bright arms the vanquish dlaid. The days of old have passed away Like leaves upon the torrent grey, And all their dreams of joy and woe, As in yon eddy melts the snow; And soon, as far and dim behind, We too shall vanish on thewind. Lays of the Deer Forest.
