Excerpt from My Afterdream: A Sequel to the Late Mr. Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward It was in the year a.d. 2000 that a certain Doctor Leete had set workmen digging the foundations for a laboratory he intended building close to his own house. While the excavations were in progress my under ground chamber had been discovered, and the doctor had succeeded in his efforts to resuscitate me from my long trance. Be sides his wife, Doctor Leete's family comprised an only daughter, Edith, who proved to be the great-granddaughter of the very lady to whom I had been betrothed. At the hands of these good people I received every possible kindness, and Doctor Leete spared neither time nor trouble in enlightening my ignorance of the wonderful new world into which I had so strangely been introduced. Ultimately a marriage was arranged between Edith Leete and myself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
