Synopsis
Excerpt from Talks on Pythianism
It has been my aim and object in writing this little book, to lay before its readers the story of Damon and Pythias, and a few talks on the tenets of the Order in plain, simple language. In doing so I have had but two leading thoughts in my mind. In the first place, I have had the misfortune to Lose my sight and am totally blind. Both myself and wife are growing old, having already passed three score years. It has been our lot to accumulate but little of this world's goods, and yet in our declining years we must live. It is needless for me to say, therefore, that the thought of securing these necessities of life from the sale of the book first prompted me to make an effort at book-writing.
