Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Georgia Bequest: Manolia, or the Vale of Tallulah
From that eventful period, when our first parents were expelled from the garden of Eden, to the present time, their offspring have ever manifested an eagerness after something not attainable; and, when the hopes entertained at one period of our existence are realized, new thirsts are created, and higher hopes, and more exalted aspirations excited, until, in the vale of life, if success and triumph should attend our journeyings; it would then, even, be with us, as it was with the eastern conqueror, overwhelmed with grief for new thea tres, upon which to push his conquests. This characteristic is stamped upon every condition and pursuit of life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
