Book Description
Excerpt from John Gay; Or, Work for Boys, Vol. 3 of 4 IN the back yard belonging to the house where John and Benny lived, there was a pump not far from the kitchen-door, with a wooden platform leading out to it from the door. Before the pump there was a spout, of the kind which the carpenters call a shoe, made to catch the waste water, and convey it into an Opening in the ground, where there was a grating through which it flowed into a dark recess in the earth, that led away, Benny could never imagine where.

Book Description
Excerpt from John Gay; Or, Work for Boys: Work for Spring After the days began to grow warm and pleasant in the spring, the snow was still deep upon the ground in the part of the country where John and Benny lived. The snow was very hard, however, having become indurated by repeated thawings and freezings, so that now the boys could walk upon the surface of it, over the fields and everywhere, and slide upon their sleds wherever they came to a hill, or to any piece of descending ground.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from William Gay, or Play for Boys, Vol. 1 of 4 Watt Remsen, one of the young men who lived on William Gay's father's farm, and had charge of all the nice and difficult work there, was possessed of quite a scientific taste, - that is, he liked to look into the principles of things, and to understand the why and the wherefore of the different processes that he performed in his work, and of the various phenomena that he witnessed. He spent his evenings chiefly in reading scientific books. William used to look into his books sometimes, but he could not understand them, they were so full of hard words; and instead of pictures there were curious shaped figures formed of circles and straight lines, with letters printed at the ends of the lines and at the corners.

Book Description
'Gamesters and Highwaymen are generally very good to their Whores, but they are very Devils to their Wives.' With The Beggar's Opera (1728), John Gay created one of the most enduringly popular works in English theatre history, and invented a new dramatic form, the ballad opera. Gay's daring mixture of caustic political satire, well-loved popular tunes, and a story of crime and betrayal set in the urban underworld of prostitutes and thieves was an overnight sensation. Captain Macheath and Polly Peachum have become famous well beyond the confines of Gay's original play, and in its sequel, Polly, banned in Gay's lifetime, their adventures continue in the West Indies. With a cross-dressing heroine and a cast of female adventurers, pirates, Indian princes, rebel slaves, and rapacious landowners, Polly lays bare a culture in which all human relationships are reduced to commercial transactions. Raucous, lyrical, witty, ironic and tragic by turns, The Beggar's Opera and Polly - published together here for the first time - offer a scathing and ebullient portrait of a society in which statesmen and outlaws, colonialists and pirates, are impossible to tell apart. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
