Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vanity of Human Grandeur: With Sketches of and Tributes to the Memory of Prominent Persons From East Tennessee All earthly riches and pleasures and splendors pass away. Only the soul is immortal. It lives forever It is more valuable than all earthly things. Jesus said, What will it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Read history. And you will be convinced of the vanity of human grandeur. I have not read all of this book in the manuscript, but hope to read it when printed. I may not agree with all its author says, but I ask for it a thought ful reading. Each must read and accept or reject for him self. May both the book and its author have that success which comes from truth and faithfulness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
