Excerpt from St. Joan of Arc: The Life-Story of the Maid of OrleansSuch is the power of this story, such its tyr anny over the heart, its magnetism to draw tears, that, well or ill told, it will ever make the hearer weep, be he young or old, chilled by the growing years or steeled by the hardness of life. Let no one blush for tears like these, for their cause is fair. No recent sorrow, no per sonal af¿iction of any kind, may so justly thrill an upright heart.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
