Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Uncle of an Angel: And Other Stories
Neither by nature nor by education had Mr. Hutchinson Port been fitted to discharge the duties which thus were thrust upon him. His disposition was introspective - but less in a philosophical sense than a physiological, for the central pomt of his ih trospection was his liver. That he made something of a fetich of this organ will not appear surprising when the fact is stated that Mr. Port was a Phila delphian. In that city of eminent good cheer livers are developed to a degree that only Strasburg can emulate. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
