Streams From Hidden Sources Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Streams From Hidden Sources For the intent of this little book, it is not meant to teach. That I leave to others and wiser. But, forasmuch as, in these our days, there would seem to have grown a desire to drink of the springs at which our fathers slaked their thirst, I have tried to clear from some few the weight, with which they have been covered by careless ages. And, since, in our time, a few of our nobler spirits have thought it good to draw from these hidden sources the draught with which the people must be satisfied, it seems fitting that folk should know the wells from. Whence their comfort comes. So, out of all old lore, I have chosen seven books, as setting forth seven following stages of time, and from each of these have taken what seemed to me the best thing, so that any man may judge, and if it please him trace the stream to its source.
