Book Description
Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Book Description
Excerpt from Ormond, or the Secret Witness, And, Clara Howard, or the Enthusiasm of Love The indulgence of his father had contributed to instil into him prejudices, in consequence of which a certain species of disgrace was annexed to every employment of which the only purpose was gain. His present situation not only precluded all those pursuits which exalt and harmonize the feelings, but was detested by him as some thing humiliating and ignominious. His wife was of a pliant temper, and her condition less influenced by this change than that of her husband. She was qualified to be his comforter; but, instead of dispelling his gloom by judicious arguments or a seasonable example of vivacity, she caught the infection that preyed upon his mind, and augmented his anxieties by partaking in them.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Silent Witness: A Novel Middleham's. Nothing more nor leas. Fat, black letters on a worn brass plate, screwed on to a shabby old swinging door, its upper half of smeared, bad glass in prison between two sets of bars; its lower of wood, once brown and varnished, now paintless, notched, and indented with the boot-heels of coming and going clerks, whose ears bristled with pens, whose mouths were temporary receptacles for pendant straps or tape, whose hands were laden with enormous black leather pouches, bills for acceptance or payment fluttering between their fingers, and who had only their knees and feet left, with which to plunge at Middleham's door. Clerks came and went all day, and customers, too, for the matter of that, for Middleham's was a bank. A bank in a narrow little lane, forming the connecting link between two great thoroughfares in the city, with a provision merchant's next door to it. Few strangers ever commenced business with Middleham's, but the old families who had shown their confidence in the founder of the house more than a hundred and fifty years ago banked with it still; all the scions of the old families starting for themselves, took to Middleham's as naturally as to shaving, and spread its business far and wide. Hugh Middleham, who represented the firm in 1860, could recollect that when he was taken into partnership with his father, some five-and-twenty years before, the bank had not half the number of accounts open, and yet there were few new names in the ledgers, no increase in the number of clerks behind the counter, and no decrease in the dinginess, the ink-spottedness, and the shabbiness of the counter itself, and, in fact, of the entire establishment. People said, and said truly, that half the success of the bank was due to Hugh Middleham himself. Though a shrewd and sensible man, making his ordinary investments with discretion, but not above an occasional speculative flight for a small amount, and with earned money, there were many commercial men in the city of London who were his equal in knowledge of finance; it was his manner, so frank and apparently sincere with men, so polished and courtier-like with women, to which Hugh Middleham was indebted for his luck. When he was a young man it had won him a pretty, graceful girl, with a pretty little fortune, for his wife; and now that he was a white-haired, fresh-colored old gentleman, invariably in a blue coat, buff waistcoat, and gray trowsers, whom the pretty girl had long since left a widower, the same luck seemed to attend him. Although there was no lady to take the position of hostess, Mr. Middleham's garden-parties, on the Thames, were attended by those persons whom the fashionable world most delights to honor and he had the opportunity - of which he but seldom took advantage - of intimacy at some of the best houses.

(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
#1 New York Times bestseller for 13 consecutive weeks! "As long as humanity speaks of virtue and dreams of freedom, the life and writings of Whittaker Chambers will ennoble and inspire." - PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN "One of the dozen or so indispensable books of the century..." - GEORGE F. WILL "Witness changed my worldview, my philosophical perceptions, and, without exaggeration, my life." - ROBERT D. NOVAK, from his Foreward "Chambers has written one of the really significant American autobiographies. When some future Plutarch writes his American Live, he will find in Chambers penetrating and terrible insights into America in the early twentieth century." - ARTHUR SCHLESINGER JR. "Chambers had a gift for language....to call Chambers an activist or Witness a political event is to say Dostoevsky was a criminologist or Crime and Punishment a morality tract." - WASHINGTON POST "Chambers was not just the witness against Alger Hiss, but was also one of th articulators of the modern conservative philosophy, a philosophy that has something to do with restoring the spiritual values of politics." - SAM TANENHAUS, author of Whittaker Chambers "One of the few indispensable autobiographies ever written by an American - and one of the best written, too." - HILTON KRAMER, The New Criterion First published in 1952, Witness is the true story of Soviet spies in America and the trial that captivated a nation. Part literary effort, part philosophical treatise, this intriguing autobiography recounts the famous Alger Hiss case and reveals much more. Chambers' worldview and his belief that "man without mysticism is a monster" went on to help make political conservatism a national force. Regnery History's Cold War Classics edition is the most comprehensive version of Witness ever published, featuring forewords collected from all previous editions, including discussions from luminaries William F. Buckley Jr., Robert D. Novak, Milton Hindus, and Alfred S. Regnery.
