For he was M.D., licensed to kill, cure, or leave to the working of an inscrutable Providence. At the time that he told these merry tales, he was a mellow youth of three score and ten, slipping, each day, dangerously nearer to Heaven. In the era of the Doctor's infancy, half a century before - when the nineteenth was in its swaddling clothes - the animal spirits of the Celt, notwithstanding the machinations of cruelly unkind fates, flowed freely. Circling his hospitable board, o' nights, now, the Doctor delighted to see the other grey-haired children who had walked the morning ways with him. And when they dined they loved to live over again the gay past. Hence this book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
