{"product_id":"gold-and-glory-or-wild-ways-of-other-days","title":"GOLD AND GLORY OR, WILD WAYS OF OTHER DAYS","description":"Only an apology for having written this historical tale. My private opinion is, that all writers of historical tales should return me thanks if I apologize for them with myself, all in a body, the truer the tale the ampler being the spirit of the apology. While I have been writing this tale, sometimes in its most important or serious portions, I have been startled by detecting my own mouth widening with an absurd smile, or by hearing a ridiculous chuckle issuing from my own lips, and have suddenly discovered that I was quite unconsciously repeating to myself the famous old Scotch anecdote of the old woman and the Scotch preacher—\"Thats good, and thats Robertson; and thats good, and thats Chalmers; ... and thats bad, and thats himsel.\" Turning the old woman into the more learned among my possible readers, and the Scotch preacher into myself, I read the anecdote—\"Thats good, and thats Prescott; thats good, and thats Robertson; thats good, and thats guide-book; thats good, and thats Arthur Helps; and thats bad, and thats hersel.\" I can only wind up my apology by pleading, that at least my badness has not gone the length of distorting a single fact, nor of giving to this wonderful page of history any touch of false colouring.","brand":"DD Sales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53597923770647,"sku":"9789371918183","price":834.75,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/3529096.webp?v=1782887366","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/ur\/products\/gold-and-glory-or-wild-ways-of-other-days","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
