INNOCENTS ABROAD by Mark Twain [From an 1869–1st Edition] Part 2. CHAPTER XI. We are getting foreignized rapidly and with facility. We are getting reconciled to halls and bedchambers with unhomelike stone floors and no carpets–floors that ring to the tread of one’s heels with a sharpness that is death to sentimental musing. We are getting used to tidy, noiseless waiters, who glide hither and thither, and hover about your back and your elbows like butterflies, quick to comprehend orders, quick to fill them; thankful for a gratuity without regard to the amount; and always polite–never otherwise than polite....

The Lesson of the Master He had been told the ladies were at church, but this was corrected by what he saw from the top of the steps – they descended from a great height in two arms, with a circular sweep of the most charming effect – at the threshold of the door which, from the long bright gallery, overlooked the immense lawn. Three gentlemen, on the grass, at a distance, sat under the great trees, while the fourth figure showed a crimson dress that told as a “bit of colour” amid the fresh rich green....
THE LIFE OF CAPTAIN MATTHEW FLINDERS, R.N. BY ERNEST SCOTT PROFESSOR OF HISTORY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE AUTHOR OF “TERRE NAPOLEON” AND “LIFE OF LAPEROUSE” WITH PORTRAITS, MAPS, AND FACSIMILES. SYDNEYANGUS & ROBERTSON LTD.89 CASTLEREAGH STREET1914. PREFACE. The subject of this book died one hundred years ago. Within his forty years of life, he discovered a very large area of what is now an important region of the earth; he participated in stirring events which are memorable in modern history; he applied a vigorous and original mind to the advancement of knowledge, with useful results; and he was the victim of circumstances which, however stated, were peculiarly unfortunate, and must evoke the sympathy of everyone who takes the trouble to understand them....
THE LOG OF THE “JOLLY POLLY” Temptation came to me when I was in the worst possible position to resist it. It is a way temptation has. Whenever I swear off drinking invariably I am invited to an ushers’ dinner. Whenever I am rich, only the highbrow publications that pay the least, want my work. But the moment I am poverty-stricken the MANICURE GIRL’S MAGAZINE and the ROT AND SPOT WEEKLY spring at me with offers of a dollar a word....

ETEXT EDITORS NOTE: We place little credence in a “story”–perhaps, a bit more faith in “his-story”. Dumas (Pere) has given us some of the world’s finest “stories”, and as in this short monograph on “The Man in the Iron Mask,” some very well documented “history.” He concluded 150 years ago that these events were a mystery and now 300 years from the era of Louis XIV–they remain so. Many historians from Voltaire down through other famous authorities have given us the final answer to this puzzle....

It lies north-west of Enfield, and comprises 580 acres, including 240 allotted in lieu of the common enclosure of Enfield Chase.
