That to\r\n      secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their\r\n      just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of\r\n      Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the\r\n      People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying\r\n      its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form,\r\n      as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.\r\n      Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should\r\n      not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all\r\n      experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while\r\n      evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to\r\n      which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and\r\n      usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to\r\n      reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty,\r\n      to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future\r\n      security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies;\r\n      and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former\r\n      Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is\r\n      a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct\r\n      object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To\r\n      prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.\r\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 1 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Jefferson, Thomas \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Dec 1, 1971 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Jefferson, Thomas,1743-1826 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211076665501,"sku":"gb-1-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/1_d0efa4b7-81ab-4dc8-a315-75c80ca2ef12.jpg?v=1671247189"},{"product_id":"john-f-kennedy-s-inaugural-address-gb-3","title":"John F.

In substance these\r\nreasons were, first, that such publication at any time during the existence of\r\nslavery might be used by the master against the slave, and prevent the future\r\nescape of any who might adopt the same means that I did. The second reason was,\r\nif possible, still more binding to silence: the publication of details would\r\ncertainly have put in peril the persons and property of those who assisted.\r\nMurder itself was not more sternly and certainly punished in the State of\r\nMaryland than that of aiding and abetting the escape of a slave. Many colored\r\nmen, for no other crime than that of giving aid to a fugitive slave, have, like\r\nCharles T. Torrey, perished in prison. The abolition of slavery in my native\r\nState and throughout the country, and the lapse of time, render the caution\r\nhitherto observed no longer necessary. But even since the abolition of slavery,\r\nI have sometimes thought it well enough to baffle curiosity by saying that\r\nwhile slavery existed there were good reasons for not telling the manner of my\r\nescape, and since slavery had ceased to exist, there was no reason for telling\r\nit. I shall now, however, cease to avail myself of this formula, and, as far as\r\nI can, endeavor to satisfy this very natural curiosity. I should, perhaps, have\r\nyielded to that feeling sooner, had there been anything very heroic or\r\nthrilling in the incidents connected with my escape, for I am sorry to say I\r\nhave nothing of that sort to tell; and yet the courage that could risk betrayal\r\nand the bravery which was ready to encounter death, if need be, in pursuit of\r\nfreedom, were essential features in the undertaking.

His\r\nschooling ended at ten, and at twelve he was bound apprentice to his\r\nbrother James, a printer, who published the \"New England Courant.\" To\r\nthis journal he became a contributor, and later was for a time its\r\nnominal editor.

He soon obtained work as a printer, but after a few\r\nmonths he was induced by Governor Keith to go to London, where, finding\r\nKeith's promises empty, he again worked as a compositor till he was\r\nbrought back to Philadelphia by a merchant named  Denman, who gave him\r\na position in his business. On Denman's death he returned to his former\r\ntrade, and shortly set up a printing house of his own from which he\r\npublished \"The Pennsylvania Gazette,\" to which he contributed many\r\nessays, and which he made a medium for agitating a variety of local\r\nreforms. In 1732 he began to issue his famous \"Poor Richard's Almanac\"\r\nfor the enrichment of which he borrowed or composed those pithy\r\nutterances of worldly wisdom which are the basis of a large part of his\r\npopular reputation.

To such a man, dear reader,\r\nit is my privilege to introduce you.\r\n\n\r\nThe life of Frederick Douglass, recorded in the pages which follow, is not\r\nmerely an example of self-elevation under the most adverse circumstances; it\r\nis, moreover, a noble vindication of the highest aims of the American\r\nanti-slavery movement. The real object of that movement is not only to\r\ndisenthrall, it is, also, to bestow upon the Negro the exercise of all those\r\nrights, from the possession of which he has been so long debarred.\r\n\n\r\nBut this full recognition of the colored man to the right, and the entire\r\nadmission of the same to the full privileges, political, religious and social,\r\nof manhood, requires powerful effort on the part of the enthralled, as well as\r\non the part of those who would disenthrall them. The people at large must feel\r\nthe conviction, as well as admit the abstract logic, of human equality; the\r\nNegro, for the first time in the worlds history, brought in full contact\r\nwith high civilization, must prove his title first to all that is demanded for\r\nhim; in the teeth of unequal chances, he must prove himself equal to the mass\r\nof those who oppress himtherefore, absolutely superior to his apparent\r\nfate, and to their relative ability. And it is most cheering to the friends of\r\nfreedom, today, that evidence of this equality is rapidly accumulating, not\r\nfrom the ranks of the half-freed colored people of the free states, but from\r\nthe very depths of slavery itself; the indestructible equality of man to man is\r\ndemonstrated by the ease with which black men, scarce one remove from\r\nbarbarismif slavery can be honored with such a distinctionvault\r\ninto the high places of the most advanced and painfully acquired civilization.\r\nWard and Garnett, Wells Brown and Pennington, Loguen and Douglass, are banners\r\non the outer wall, under which abolition is fighting its most successful\r\nbattles, because they are living exemplars of the practicability of the most\r\nradical abolitionism; for, they were all of them born to the doom of slavery,\r\nsome of them remained slaves until adult age, yet they all have not only won\r\nequality to their white fellow citizens, in civil, religious, political and\r\nsocial rank, but they have also illustrated and adorned our common country by\r\ntheir genius, learning and eloquence.\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 202 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Douglass, Frederick \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jul 2, 2008 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Douglass, Frederick,1818-1895 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211095441565,"sku":"gb-202-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/202_d0eb45c9-698c-4131-8327-34b3d1a24bc3.jpg?v=1671247582"},{"product_id":"the-martin-luther-king-jr-day-1995-memorial-issue-gb-206","title":"The Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, 1995, Memorial Issue","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, 1995, Memorial Issue\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n      Many years ago, the few readers of radical Abolitionist papers must often\n      have seen the singular name of Sojourner Truth, announced as a frequent\n      speaker at Anti-Slavery meetings, and as travelling on a sort of\n      self-appointed agency through the country.

My grandmother,\r\n      Ha-za-ho-ta-win, was a full-blood of the Medawakanton Band of the Sioux\r\n      Tribe of Indians. My father, Joseph Buisson, born near Montreal, Canada,\r\n      was connected with the American Fur Company, with headquarters at Mendota,\r\n      Minnesota, which point was for many years the chief distributing depot of\r\n      the American Fur Company, from which the Indian trade conducted by that\r\n      company on the upper Mississippi was directed.\r\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 341 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: McLaughlin, Marie L. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Oct 1, 1995 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"McLaughlin, Marie L.,1842- \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211116118173,"sku":"gb-341-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/341_0e12d1b9-501d-4c4b-b757-885f9f20f64f.jpg?v=1671247889"},{"product_id":"margaret-ogilvy-gb-342","title":"Margaret Ogilvy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMargaret Ogilvy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the day I was born we bought six hair-bottomed chairs, and\nin our little house it was an event, the first great victory in a\nwomans long campaign; how they had been laboured for, the\npound-note and the thirty threepenny-bits they cost, what anxiety\nthere was about the purchase, the show they made in possession of\nthe west room, my fathers unnatural coolness when he\nbrought them in (but his face was white)I so often heard\nthe tale afterwards, and shared as boy and man in so many similar\ntriumphs, that the coming of the chairs seems to be something I\nremember, as if I had jumped out of bed on that first day, and\nrun ben to see how they looked. I am sure my mothers\nfeet were ettling to be ben long before they could be trusted,\nand that the moment after she was left alone with me she was\ndiscovered barefooted in the west room, doctoring a scar (which\nshe had been the first to detect) on one of the chairs, or\nsitting on them regally, or withdrawing and re-opening the door\nsuddenly to take the six by surprise. And then, I think, a\nshawl was flung over her (it is strange to me to think it was not\nI who ran after her with the shawl), and she was escorted sternly\nback to bed and reminded that she had promised not to budge, to\nwhich her reply was probably that she had been gone but an\ninstant, and the implication that therefore she had not been gone\nat all. Thus was one little bit of her revealed to me at\nonce: I wonder if I took note of it. Neighbours came in to\nsee the boy and the chairs. I wonder if she deceived me\nwhen she affected to think that there were others like us, or\nwhether I saw through her from the first, she was so easily seen\nthrough. When she seemed to agree with them that it would\nbe impossible to give me a college education, was I so easily\ntaken in, or did I know already what ambitions burned behind that\ndear face? when they spoke of the chairs as the goal quickly\nreached, was I such a newcomer that her timid lips must say\nThey are but a beginning before I heard the\nwords? And when we were left together, did I laugh at the\ngreat things that were in her mind, or had she to whisper them to\nme first, and then did I put my arm round her and tell her that I\nwould help?

Thus\n      he may be Mighty-Hunter, or Man-Afraid-of-a-Bear, according as he is\n      called by friend or enemy, and Scar-Face to those who knew him by the\n      eye's grasp only. No other fashion, I think, sets so well with the various\n      natures that inhabit in us, and if you agree with me you will understand\n      why so few names are written here as they appear in the geography. For if\n      I love a lake known by the name of the man who discovered it, which\n      endears itself by reason of the close-locked pines it nourishes about its\n      borders, you may look in my account to find it so described. But if the\n      Indians have been there before me, you shall have their name, which is\n      always beautifully fit and does not originate in the poor human desire for\n      perpetuity.\n    \n\n      Nevertheless there are certain peaks, canons, and clear meadow spaces\n      which are above all compassing of words, and have a certain fame as of the\n      nobly great to whom we give no familiar names. Guided by these you may\n      reach my country and find or not find, according as it lieth in you, much\n      that is set down here. And more. The earth is no wanton to give up all her\n      best to every comer, but keeps a sweet, separate intimacy for each. But if\n      you do not find it all as I write, think me not less dependable nor\n      yourself less clever. There is a sort of pretense allowed in matters of\n      the heart, as one should say by way of illustration, \"I know a man who...\"\n      and so give up his dearest experience without betrayal. And I am in no\n      mind to direct you to delectable places toward which you will hold\n      yourself less tenderly than I. So by this fashion of naming I keep faith\n      with the land and annex to my own estate a very great territory to which\n      none has a surer title.\n    \n\n      The country where you may have sight and touch of that which is written\n      lies between the high Sierras south from Yosemiteeast and south\n      over a very great assemblage of broken ranges beyond Death Valley, and on\n      illimitably into the Mojave Desert. You may come into the borders of it\n      from the south by a stage journey that has the effect of involving a great\n      lapse of time, or from the north by rail, dropping out of the overland\n      route at Reno. The best of all ways is over the Sierra passes by pack and\n      trail, seeing and believing. But the real heart and core of the country\n      are not to be come at in a month's vacation. One must summer and winter\n      with the land and wait its occasions. Pine woods that take two and three\n      seasons to the ripening of cones, roots that lie by in the sand seven\n      years awaiting a growing rain, firs that grow fifty years before\n      flowering,these do not scrape acquaintance. But if ever you come\n      beyond the borders as far as the town that lies in a hill dimple at the\n      foot of Kearsarge, never leave it until you have knocked at the door of\n      the brown house under the willow-tree at the end of the village street,\n      and there you shall have such news of the land, of its trails and what is\n      astir in them, as one lover of it can give to another.\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 365 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Austin, Mary \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jul 9, 2008 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Austin, Mary,1868-1934 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211119657117,"sku":"gb-365-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/365_000cf932-63cd-4d26-94a2-407afd751369.jpg?v=1671247938"},{"product_id":"the-outlaw-of-torn-gb-369","title":"The Outlaw of Torn","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Outlaw of Torn\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nHere is a story that has lain dormant for seven hundred years.

It did\r\nnot appear to be the duty of these two men to know what was occurring at the\r\ncenter of the bridge; they merely blockaded the two ends of the foot planking\r\nthat traversed it.\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 375 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Bierce, Ambrose \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Dec 1, 1995 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Bierce, Ambrose,1842-1914? \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211120967837,"sku":"gb-375-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/375_17c090e1-8241-4f05-a5e0-76af78b604c8.jpg?v=1671247960"},{"product_id":"a-journal-of-the-plague-year-gb-376","title":"A Journal of the Plague Year","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Journal of the Plague Year\r - Being Observations or Memorials of the Most Remarkable Occurrences, as Well Public as Private, Which Happened in London During the Last Great Visitation in 1665.

It mattered not from whence it came; but\r\n      all agreed it was come into Holland again.\r\n    \n\r\n      We had no such thing as printed newspapers in those days to spread rumours\r\n      and reports of things, and to improve them by the invention of men, as I\r\n      have lived to see practised since. But such things as these were gathered\r\n      from the letters of merchants and others who corresponded abroad, and from\r\n      them was handed about by word of mouth only; so that things did not spread\r\n      instantly over the whole nation, as they do now. But it seems that the\r\n      Government had a true account of it, and several councils were held about\r\n      ways to prevent its coming over; but all was kept very private. Hence it\r\n      was that this rumour died off again, and people began to forget it as a\r\n      thing we were very little concerned in, and that we hoped was not true;\r\n      till the latter end of November or the beginning of December 1664 when two\r\n      men, said to be Frenchmen, died of the plague in Long Acre, or rather at\r\n      the upper end of Drury Lane. The family they were in endeavoured to\r\n      conceal it as much as possible, but as it had gotten some vent in the\r\n      discourse of the neighbourhood, the Secretaries of State got knowledge of\r\n      it; and concerning themselves to inquire about it, in order to be certain\r\n      of the truth, two physicians and a surgeon were ordered to go to the house\r\n      and make inspection. This they did; and finding evident tokens of the\r\n      sickness upon both the bodies that were dead, they gave their opinions\r\n      publicly that they died of the plague. Whereupon it was given in to the\r\n      parish clerk, and he also returned them to the Hall; and it was printed in\r\n      the weekly bill of mortality in the usual manner, thus\r\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 376 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Defoe, Daniel \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 16, 2006 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Defoe, Daniel,1661?-1731 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211121098909,"sku":"gb-376-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/376_b6578720-c1bf-47b4-a3d4-766c63d7b391.jpg?v=1671247962"},{"product_id":"edinburgh-picturesque-notes-gb-382","title":"Edinburgh: Picturesque Notes","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdinburgh: Picturesque Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ancient and famous metropolis of the North sits\noverlooking a windy estuary from the slope and summit of three\nhills.

It had two\r\n      shakedowns, on one of which I slept under a bearskin. A rough stone\r\n      chimney was reared outside, and the fireplace was as long as my father was\r\n      tall. There was a crane in it, and a bake kettle; and over it great\r\n      buckhorns held my father's rifle when it was not in use. On other horns\r\n      hung jerked bear's meat and venison hams, and gourds for drinking cups,\r\n      and bags of seed, and my father's best hunting shirt; also, in a neglected\r\n      corner, several articles of woman's attire from pegs. These once belonged\r\n      to my mother. Among them was a gown of silk, of a fine, faded pattern,\r\n      over which I was wont to speculate. The women at the Cross-Roads, twelve\r\n      miles away, were dressed in coarse butternut wool and huge sunbonnets.

In a third chapter I have pointed out the slow rise of personal\r\nleadership, and criticized candidly the leader who bears the chief burden of\r\nhis race to-day. Then, in two other chapters I have sketched in swift outline\r\nthe two worlds within and without the Veil, and thus have come to the central\r\nproblem of training men for life. Venturing now into deeper detail, I have in\r\ntwo chapters studied the struggles of the massed millions of the black\r\npeasantry, and in another have sought to make clear the present relations of\r\nthe sons of master and man. Leaving, then, the white world, I have stepped\r\nwithin the Veil, raising it that you may view faintly its deeper\r\nrecesses,the meaning of its religion, the passion of its human sorrow,\r\nand the struggle of its greater souls.

We sent for more books, and yet more, still intent on Mr.\r\n      Garrow, whose subtle cross-examination of witnesses and masterly, if\r\n      sometimes startling, methods of arriving at the truth seemed more\r\n      thrilling to us than any novel.\r\n    \n\r\n      Occasionally other trials than those of the Old Bailey would be included\r\n      in the package of books we received from London; among these my husband\r\n      found and read with avidity:\r\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 421 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Stevenson, Robert Louis \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 16, 2006 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Stevenson, Robert Louis,1850-1894 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211127521437,"sku":"gb-421-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/421_81314f3e-c6c6-4ffd-838f-3f321bd12e5c.jpg?v=1671248064"},{"product_id":"miracle-mongers-and-their-methods-gb-435","title":"Miracle Mongers and Their Methods","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiracle Mongers and Their Methods\r - A Complete Exposé of the Modus Operandi of Fire Eaters, Heat Resisters, Poison Eaters, Venomous Reptile Defiers, Sword Swallowers, Human Ostriches, Strong Men, Etc.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n\"All wonder,\" said Samuel Johnson, \"is the effect of novelty on\r\nignorance.\"  Yet we are so created that without something to wonder at\r\nwe should find life scarcely worth living.  That fact does not make\r\nignorance bliss, or make it \"folly to be wise.\"  For the wisest man\r\nnever gets beyond the reach of novelty, nor can ever make it his boast\r\nthat there is nothing he is ignorant of; on the contrary, the wiser he\r\nbecomes the more clearly he sees how much there is of which he remains\r\nin ignorance.  The more he knows, the more he will find to wonder at.\r\n\n\r\nMy professional life has been a constant record of disillusion, and\r\nmany things that seem wonderful to most men are the every-day\r\ncommonplaces of my business.

As the landscape\r\nchanged from brown to green, the army awakened, and began to tremble\r\nwith eagerness at the noise of rumors.  It cast its eyes upon the\r\nroads, which were growing from long troughs of liquid mud to proper\r\nthoroughfares.  A river, amber-tinted in the shadow of its banks,\r\npurled at the army's feet; and at night, when the stream had become of\r\na sorrowful blackness, one could see across it the red, eyelike gleam\r\nof hostile camp-fires set in the low brows of distant hills.\r\n\n\r\nOnce a certain tall soldier developed virtues and went resolutely to\r\nwash a shirt.  He came flying back from a brook waving his garment\r\nbannerlike.  He was swelled with a tale he had heard from a reliable\r\nfriend, who had heard it from a truthful cavalryman, who had heard it\r\nfrom his trustworthy brother, one of the orderlies at division\r\nheadquarters.  He adopted the important air of a herald in red and\r\ngold. \"We're goin' t' move t'morrahsure,\" he said pompously to a\r\ngroup in the company street.  \"We're goin' 'way up the river, cut\r\nacross, an' come around in behint 'em.\"\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 463 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Crane, Stephen \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Mar 1, 1996 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Crane, Stephen,1871-1900 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211133649053,"sku":"gb-463-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/463_14440fbf-67e4-4a3b-a84a-acebb13150d5.jpg?v=1671248156"},{"product_id":"rezanov-gb-491","title":"Rezanov","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRezanov\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nA long list of works Gertrude Atherton has to her credit as a writer.\r\nShe is indisputably a woman of genius.  Not that her genius is\r\ndistinctively feminine, though she is in matters historical a\r\npassionate partisan.  Most of the critics who approve her work agree\r\nthat in the main she views life with somewhat of the masculine spirit\r\nof liberality.  She is as much the realist as one can be who is\r\nsaturated with the romance that is California, her birthplace and her\r\nhome, if such a true cosmopolite as she can be said to have a home.  In\r\nall she has written there is abounding life; her grasp of character is\r\nfirm; her style has a warm, glowing plasticity, frequently a rhythm\r\nvariously expressive of all the wide range of feeling which a writer\r\nmust have to make his or her books living things.  She does no less\r\nwell in the depiction of men than in the portraiture of women.  All\r\nstand out of their vivid environment distinctly and they are all\r\npersonalities of powereven, occasionally, of \"that strong power\r\ncalled weakness.\"  And they all wear something of a glory imparted to\r\nthem by the sympathy of their creator and interpreter.

With pick and shovel they are letting the rays of the April sun\r\n      into the great ice barrier which binds together the modern quays and the\r\n      old granite fortress where lie the bones of the Romanoff Czars.\r\n    \n\r\n      This barrier is already weakened; it is widely decayed, in many places\r\n      thin, and everywhere treacherous; but it is, as a whole, so broad, so\r\n      crystallized about old boulders, so imbedded in shallows, so wedged into\r\n      crannies on either shore, that it is a great danger. The waters from\r\n      thousands of swollen streamlets above are pressing behind it; wreckage and\r\n      refuse are piling up against it; every one knows that it must yield. But\r\n      there is danger that it may resist the pressure too long and break\r\n      suddenly, wrenching even the granite quays from their foundations,\r\n      bringing desolation to a vast population, and leaving, after the\r\n      subsidence of the flood, a widespread residue of slime, a fertile\r\n      breeding-bed for the germs of disease.\r\n    \n\r\n      But the patient mujiks are doing the right thing. The barrier, exposed\r\n      more and more to the warmth of spring by the scores of channels they are\r\n      making, will break away gradually, and the river will flow on beneficent\r\n      and beautiful.\r\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 505 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: White, Andrew Dickson \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Apr 1, 1996 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"White, Andrew Dickson,1832-1918 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211138891933,"sku":"gb-505-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/505_63507d26-844a-4f83-a944-7a8ad943ccc2.jpg?v=1671248241"}],"url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/collections\/history.oembed?page=1237","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
