The book begins: It was raining, and the spleen and the vapors afflicted Jim Cardiff. The still, gray Sabbath had gone, and in the night beyond his study window a stream from a leaking eave was drumming on a sheet of tin. A song so constant and so melancholy revived an old regret that he had not moved to California, but this regret, when often it arose to face him, was attended by a dream, fluid and shining like an emperor�������s garment. He dreamed of serving in the Young Men�������s Christian Association in San Francisco or in Los Angeles, and of being summoned at length to New York and the international councils.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
