Book excerpt: Excerpt from Siegfried, the Hero of the North, and Beowulf, the Hero of the Anglo-Saxons A strange thing happened last winter in New York, strange even for New York. It was reported, with the names and addresses, in all the papers; and personal investigation proved the facts to be true. It happened in the family of a respectable and well-to-do German artisan couple. Both husband and wife had come from the old country very young, and prospered, as honest industry will, when coupled with intelligence and a moderate share of luck. They had profited, perhaps to an exceptional degree, by the educational advantages which Germany provides for her poorest children; but, unfortunately, their minds and their moral sense ran in a groove. They loved truth above all things, but truth in a narrow, absolute sense. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
