Excerpt from Echoes of the Sunset Club: Comprising a Number of the Papers Read, and Addresses Delivered, Before the Sunset Club of Chicago, During the Past Two Years; Chicago, July, 1891 Through the courtesy of the gentlemen represented here I am permitted to present to the public a few of the papers read before the Sunset Club during the past two years - and one or two articles which were prepared but, for some reason, not submitted at the Club meetings. With a few exceptions these "talks" have not been revised at all, appearing here without correction. The general discussions indulged in at the meetings are not given here, because of lack of space to give them in full - and to give them in part would not be satisfactory. On pages 3 to 7 will be found several extracts from an article in The Chicago Herald of April 26, 1891, which will probably be of interest to those readers of this modest volume who are not familiar with the aims and objects of the Sunset Club.
