Book Description
Excerpt from Howrah The deep channel alternates from left to right and vice cersa according to the windings of the river, except where deflected by the large tributaries which debouch into it at the southern limit of this district. Proceeding from Howrah Bridge, the deep channel runs on the Calcutta side in the Calcutta Reach past the Fort and Kidderpore to Garden Reach. At Rajganj, Opposite Hangman Point, it crosses over to the Howrah Side, and follows the Sankrail Reach as far as Melancholy (menikhali) Point. It then zigzags from left to right at each bend.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Last Mile And then: "Sure enough! Good ole American lighthouse! Thank God, Lafayette, we are here!" Unmistakably now the far-off twinkling light showed on the black horizon. Kingsley straightened up and squeezed Broadhurst's arm with an unexpectedly friendly pressure. "I think I'll go to every war we have after this," he exclaimed. "Why is that?" asked Broadhurst. "Haven't you had enough of this one?" "I'll say so! But the thrill of getting home again makes up for it all! Well, now that the war is over, I suppose I might as well catch a little sleep. We've got to get up early." "Right-o," said Broadhurst, "but I think I'll stick around a little longer. See you later." It was worth while, Broadhurst reflected as Kingsley went away in the darkness. To see a shoreline again, even after an ordinary voyage, was a matter of moment. It meant returning to a world that measured some 24,000 miles in circumference instead of a few hundred feet in length. And here, just ahead, were the flickering happy lights of home - he was coming back from France and from the war, after many months of uncertainty. Back to sunlight and peace, and all the old habits of life and all the old friendships. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Book Description
The Devil's Half Mile by Paddy Hirsch is a riveting historical thriller debut set in 1799 New York City, perfect for the fans of Gangs of New York and the works of Caleb Carr and Erik Larson. Seven years after a financial crisis nearly toppled America, traders chafe at government regulations, racial tensions are rising, gangs roam the streets and corrupt financiers make back-door deals with politicians... 1799 was a hell of a year. Thanks to Alexander Hamilton, America has recovered from the panic on the Devil's Half Mile (aka Wall Street), but the young country is still finding its way. When young lawyer Justy Flanagan returns to solve his father's murder, he exposes a massive fraud that has already claimed lives, and one the perpetrators are determined to keep secret at any cost. The body count is rising, and the looming crisis could topple the nation. "A thriller with strong, multifaceted heroes and villains, [and] tight plotting. I impatiently await the next adventure."—Patrick Taylor, NYT bestselling author of the Irish Country series At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book Description
Excerpt from Miles of Smiles Miles of Smiles Our Grocery Man The man what brings us groceries, Is an awful funny man; He comes a drivin' like Gee Whiz, And bustles in and then He jams the onions in a bag And slams the kitchen door And spills the coal oil on the rug And beans upon the floor And hurries 'round as if the world Would come to sudden end If one wee teeny moment his Activities suspend, And then he backs against the wall And then he stands and gawks And whistles tunes he makes himself And talks and talks and talks And it isn't Ma hes talkin' to But it's our hired girl. And once this grocer man he came When Ma was out for tea, And Sis was gone and no one home But Cindy Jane and me, And me, they didn't count for much I was so teeny small, I guess they didn't care 'bout me, I didn't count at all.

Book Description
Excerpt from On Some Antiquities in the Neighbourhood of Dunecht House Aberdeenshire It was known to the archaeologist that there were ogam inscriptions in the district, two Of them being among the most important in Caledonia; and that within an easy motor drive there was a minuscule inscription of six lines Of which no satisfactory explanation had been given. This inscription they had visited in a previous year. Further, the quick eye Of the hostess of Dunecht had caught sight of some curious sculptures on a stone by the road-side on the way to the minus cule inscription; and other like stones in the neighbourhood had been shewn in Stuart's two volumes of Sculptural Stones of Scotland. The suggestion was then made that for the sake of visitors at Dunecht a sort Of guide book should be prepared, giving some simple description of the several Objects and their meaning and uses.
