Hartmann, the Anarchist: Or the Doom of the Great City (Classic Reprint) by E. Douglas Fawcett All things considered, I rate October loth, 1920, as the most momentous day of my life. Why it should be so styled is not at once apparent. My career has not been unromantic; during many years I hive rambled over the globe, courting danger wherever interest led me, and later on have splashed through shambles such as revolutions have seldom before been red with. More than once I have tripped near the cave where Death lies in ambush. I am now an old man, but my memory is green and vigorous. I can look back calmly on the varied spectacle of life and weigh each event impartially in the balance. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
