Book Description
Excerpt from Stories by American Authors There are whispering galleries, where, if the ear is placed in a certain position, it takes in the sound of the lowest whisper from the opposite side of the room. But, to produce this effect, the architecture of the apartment must be of a peculiar nature, and, especially, the rules and laws of sound must be observed. I have often thought that, were one wise enough, there might be found, in every room, a centre to which all sound must converge. Nay, that perhaps such a focus had already been discovered by some one who has wished to appear wiser than his neighbors, who has made use of some hitherto unknown scientific fact, and has on any one occasion, or on many occasions, thus made himself the centre of information.

Excerpt from Stories by American Authors, Vol. 1 Ome, now, there may as well be an end of this Every time I meet your eyes squarely I detect the question just slipping out of them. If you had spoken it, or even boldly looked it if you had shown in your motions the least sign of a fussy or fidgety concern on my account; if this were not the evening of my birthday, and you the only friend who remembered it if confession were not good for the soul, though harder than sin to some people, of whom I am one, - well, if all reasons were not at this instant converged into a focus, and burning me rather violently in that region where the seat of emotion is supposed to lie, I should keep my trouble to myself. Yes, I have fifty times had it on my mind to tell you the whole story. But who can be certain that his best friend will not smile - or, what is worse.

Excerpt from Stories by American Authors, Vol. 2 This lady was not, in very truth, my Madeline. She had never given herself to me, nor had I, in any way, acquired possession of her. But as I considered her possession the only sufficient reason for the continuance of my existence, I called her, in my reveries, mine. It may have been that I would not have been obliged to confine the use of this possessive pronoun to my reveries had I con fessed the state of my feelings to the lady.

Book Description
Excerpt from American Hero Stories This volume contains five accounts of voyagers and explorers, ranging from Columbus to Lewis and Clark; stories of five colonies of marked dissimilarity- Virginia, Quebec, Plymouth, New York, and Philadelphia; brief lives of four pioneers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; and fifteen short stories of war times. In treating of our wars, it seemed wisest not to attempt any formal explanation of causes and results, but rather to picture a number of separate and interesting achievements, choosing as far as possible actions that have distinct heroes. The chapters are arranged in chronological order, with a thread of continuity running through them. The aim of the book is to introduce in informal and friendly fashion some of the makers of American history, and to provide a simple, broad foundation for future study of history and biography. Acknowledgments are due to the courtesy of the following for permission to use their material for illustrations; to The Title Guarantee and Trust Co. of New York for New Amsterdam in Stuyvesant's Time; to Mr. C.M. Barton, President of the Historical Society of Michigan, for Gladwyn's Warning from the Indian Girl; to Mr. Charles E.Goodspeed for Washington at the Delaware; to McClure's Magazine for portrait of Daniel Boone; to the New England Magazine for The Indian Woman who Guided Lewis and Clark and the Seal of the Lewis and Clark Exposition; to The Outing Magazine for The Marriage and The March of David Crockett.
