Quotes from Harold Frederic's books, and about them
The Damnation of Theron Ware on Evidences of Christianity: “Finally he did take down "Paley's Evidences," and seated himself in the big armchair--that costly and oversized anomaly among his humble house-hold gods; but the book lay unopened on his knee, and his eyelids half closed themselves in sign of revery.”
The Damnation of Theron Ware on The Life of Christ: “Latterly his fancy had been stimulated by reading an account of the profits which Canon Farrar had derived from his "Life of Christ." If such a book could command such a bewildering multitude of readers, Theron felt there ought to be a chance for him.”
The Damnation of Theron Ware on A Thousand and One Nights: “THAT was all exhausted by collectors who bought it for its supposed obscenity, like Burton's 'Arabian Nights.' Come this way, and I will show you my laboratory."”
