The Iron Worker and King Solomon (Classic Reprint)

I ron Worker and King Solomon, for your amusement and instruction, and to impress upon your minds the value of what is but too frequently thought to be very humble labor. The narrative fairly illustrates the Photograph, taken from a picture which, as you know, I value very much, and which you all admire, called the I ron Worker, painted for me four or live years ago by Christian Schuessele. The story from which the picture is painted will be found at page 41 of the A ppendix, in wliicli will also be found another version of the story ofT he Blacksmith and King Solomon, furnished to me by my friend, Mr. Charles G. Leland, who wrote the verses at the close of the book. I am indebted toM rs. Sarah J. Hale for a corrected copy of her beautiful poem called I ron, printed in the A ppendix. This poem was entirely unknown to me until within a few days.
