Chapter 5

*      *      *      *      *I have set this narrative out with my own hand, and left it in safe keeping. When I am gone, and not sooner, I have directed that it shall be given to my fellow creatures. There is nothing more to add. For my own part, I am passing the fag-end of my life in seclusion--unknown, forgotten. So I would have it. I recently put up a cenotaph to grandfather's memory in the little village church which I regularly attend. There can be no harm in that. I still think the old man was most unfairly treated, and I shall not hesitate to say so hereafter if opportunity ever offers. As for my own dismal part in probably the most awful tragedy earth's annals ever recorded, I need say nothing. Those ten ghastly, sunless years are always with me, and I should have hesitated before adding another sad book to the many in the world, but that I hold it my duty to record these facts. My object is that a materialistic age may be confounded, that those who do not believe in the principalities and powers by which mankind is secretly led and guided, blinded and befooled, may pause and reflect before they find themselves meshed in some muddling devil's web, from which there is no escape.If an outrage of this sort can happen once, it may again. Who is safe?FINIS.PLYMOUTH:WILLIAM BRENDON AND SON,PRINTERS.*      *      *      *      *      *      *      *TELEGRAMS: ASSIDUOUS, LONDON.15, CRAVEN STREET, STRAND, LONDON, W.C. 1895.A Catalogue of New Books and New Editions published by BLISS, SANDS, and FOSTER at 15 Craven Street, Strand, London, W.C.To be obtained of all booksellers, and at all libraries; or of the publishers, post-free on remittance of the published price.CONTENTS.Biography and HistoryTravel and TopographyMiscellaneousPoetryFiction:--The Modern Library" Novels" Novels (continued)" Novels (continued)" Novels (continued)Books for Children" " (continued)--The Story Book SeriesWorks on NaturePUBLIC MEN OF TO-DAY.AN INTERNATIONAL SERIES.Edited by S.

The object of this Series is to furnish English readers all over the world with a biographical account and critical appreciation of the leading public men of the time, the makers of contemporary history. In the choice of subjects care has been taken to select Monarchs or Ministers whose careers have been interesting, and who have played a prominent part in stirring and important scenes. It is, however, the aim of the writers, not merely to present a number of personal portraits of important Statesmen, but also to trace and explain the political and social development of the nations to which they belong.

It is believed, therefore, that a perusal of these volumes, written by distinguished and well-qualified observers, will result in a better understanding than most persons possess of the daily news cabled from all parts of the Old and the New World, and will invest with a more lively significance the foreign telegrams published in the British, Colonial, and American press.

The Series will also be found to have a certain educational value for the more intelligent students in Schools and Colleges. It is too much the custom to fill young minds with the minute details of past epochs, and to cut modern history short just at the point where it might be rendered most attractive and specially useful.

Each volume contains one or more portraits, and maps are given where they are necessary to elucidate the text.
