Book Description
First published in 1903, this book contains a classic guide to woodworking, being a handbook of related materials, tools, processes, and more. Written with the novice in mind, this profusely-illustrated volume contains step-by-step instructions and expert tips designed to walk the beginner through their first experiences in the workshop. Although old, this volume contains a wealth of timeless information and is highly recommended for students and apprentices. Paul Nooncree Hasluck (1854 – 1916) was an Australian engineer and editor. He was a master of technical writing and father of the 'do-it-yourself' book, producing many books on subjects including engineering, handicrafts, woodwork, and more. Other notable works by this author include: “Treatise on the Tools Employed in the Art of Turning” (1881), “The Wrath-Jobber's Handy Book” (1887), and “Screw-Threads and Methods of Producing Them” (1887). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Cult of Shakespeare The Cult of Shakespeare is a survey (not over-solemn, I hope) of the fortunes of Shakespeare from the time of his death to the present day; an account of the rise of bardolatry and the more frenzied excesses of the devotees of his cult: of the liberties that have been taken with his work and the follies that have been committed in his name. Few people, I think, are fully aware of this history and of the power of the spell that the great name has exercised throughout the centuries. Yet, when the Stuarts were restored to the throne in 1660 there was no magic in the name. Even before the theatres were closed in I Shakespeare had been overshadowed by Beaumont and Fletcher and Ben Jonson, and when they were reopened at the Restoration he was remembered not very vividly as a once-popular dramatist Who wrote before the age of enlightenment. His plays as they Stood were unacceptable to an age polished by its contact with France, but, as there was a dearth of new drama after twenty years Without demand, they might be made to serve if skilfully adapted. And so we get the refined classical versions of Davenant, those strange outrageous hybrids with which the modern popularity of Shakespeare began. The refining process was continued by Dryden, Tate, Cibber and others, until at the beginning of the Georgian era poets and scholars began to return to what Shakespeare had really written, and to wrangle about the restora tion of his text. The pope-theobald-warburton-hanmer squabble is not the least diverting episode in this history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
