Excerpt from Effie and I; Or Seven Years in a Cotton Mill: A Story of the Spindle City Dear Public: Rosa was going to tell you in a preface, how she got her "Cotton Mill" started. But, I said, not a bit of it, Rosa, for it will take my 'World' and all the power and magic of my pen, to do justice to those kind Cambridge gentlemen, who furnished the capital for that little workshop. My "World" will get a jog by-and-by, and some will find themselves in the shadow, and some in the broad golden sunlight, right beside those good Cambridge gentlemen, only a good way behind, and some will go to verdure. So, Mr. Public, if you want to find yourself in a favorable light, and conspicuous place, just be liberal in patronizing the firm of "Effie and I" and Co., in their travels through Uncle Sam's domains. It is just the book for everybody, and nothing can eclipse it but my "World," Longfellow excepted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
