This very large but skinny book (that is definitely not a saddle pad) finally arrived! Unfortunately it's entirely in French. I'd be happy if I could read and understand without necessarily speaking. I can figure out what some means by the pictures for context clues 😅

Quote

Sing to me once again, till I forget That now we hate, and dream we love on yet. Thy voice, if aught on earth, can wake regret, Sing to me once again, till I forget. Sing; at thy voice the old dream shall arise. Make me thy fool, feed me again with lies, —For I was happier, ere I grew so wise, Sing; at thy voice the old dream shall arise.

Two Songs of Singing, Part I. by Anne Reeve Aldrich. As featured in The Rose of Flame and Other Poems of Love, 1889 edition.

Looking for help on this one!

My sister and I were at my grandma’s and we found this edition of Gulliver’s Travels. There’s no information on when this version was published. It’s the Excelsior Edition of Standard Fiction.

If you need anymore info, please let me know!
