Excerpt from Fugitive Facts: An Epitome of General Information, Obtained in Large Part From Sources Not Generally Accessible, and Covering More Than One Thousand Topics of General Interest and Frequent Inquiry Tion and in general reading upon which many have vague ideas and elusive reminiscences of former knowledge, but upon which few can give any accurate or definite information. If a large encyclopedia is consulted, these particular subjects are often not to be found, or else are treated so exhaustively and sci entificall y that the average reader finds it tedious and difficult, if not impossible. To ascertain the few essential facts that are de sired. The following pages comprise a collection of short arti cles on just such topics, ranging naturally from the most frivo lens to the most serious and scientific, but selected with much care, in order to include those of most general interest and fre quent inquiry. Suggestions for many of them have been oh tained from the queries in the correspondence departments of pe riodicals and newspapers. The volume is strictly popular and not intended for scientific reference; but all statements are sup ported by the best authorities, and in each case the efiort and aim have been to state in clear and concise language just the kind and amount of information which are usually sought. The matter has been drawn from a great number of sources, many of them being quite inaccessible to the community at large. Thus, in its pur pose and scope, the book is quite unlike any other now in the hands of the public. And suggests a certain sphere of usefulness and convenience which the editor trusts that it will fill. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
