Excerpt from The Life and Work of Susan B. Anthony, Vol. 3 of 3: Including the Triumphs of Her Last Years, Account of Her Death and Funeral and Comments of the Press, Illustrated With Portraits, Pictures of Homes, EtcThe writing of the two preceding volumes was completed early in 1898, but the revising, proof-reading, indexing and the many details connected with the publishing of a book delayed its appearance until the last months of the year, just in time to be utilized as a Christmas present. It had been a serious problem whether or not to give it to the public during Miss Anthony's lifetime, but the same reasons which impelled her to have it writ ten while she yet lived, decided her to have it published at once. For many years Miss Anthony and the work she was trying to do were so cruelly misrepresented by individuals and by the press that she felt it but simple justice to herself and her cause to pre sent the facts and the evidence, and in case these were questioned to be able herself to defend them. It is a deep satisfaction to know that this never was necessary, for, notwithstanding the large number of persons mentioned and the many controversial matters discussed, in only one instance was any statement really disputed and this hardly to the extent of a denial or a challenge.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
