THE COMPLETE POEMS OF SIR THOMAS MOORE COLLECTED BY HIMSELF WITH EXPLANATORY NOTES WITH A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH BY WILLIAM M. ROSSETTI THOMAS MOORE Thomas Moore was born in Dublin on the 28th of May 1780. Both his parents were Roman-Catholics; and he was, as a matter of course, brought up in the same religion, and adhered to it–not perhaps with any extreme zeal–throughout his life. His father was a decent tradesman, a grocer and spirit-retailer–or “spirit-grocer,” as the business is termed in Ireland....

THE EFFICIENCY EXPERT CHAPTER I. JIMMY TORRANCE, JR. The gymnasium was packed as Jimmy Torrance stepped into the ring for the final event of the evening that was to decide the boxing championship of the university. Drawing to a close were the nearly four years of his college career–profitable years, Jimmy considered them, and certainly successful up to this point. In the beginning of his senior year he had captained the varsity eleven, and in the coming spring he would again sally forth upon the diamond as the star initial sacker of collegedom....

THE ELIXIR OF LIFE BY HONORE DE BALZAC Translated By Clara Bell & James Waring TO THE READER At the very outset of the writer’s literary career, a friend, long since dead, gave him the subject of this Study. Later on he found the same story in a collection published about the beginning of the present century. To the best of his belief, it is some stray fancy of the brain of Hoffmann of Berlin; probably it appeared in some German almanac, and was omitted in the published editions of his collected works....

[Two versions, 8 bit with accents, 7 bit plain standard text.] [This is the 8 bit plain text version.] THE GOLDEN DOG.(LE CHIEN D’OR.) by William Kirby AUTHOR’S PREFATORY NOTE. TO THE PUBLIC: In the year 1877 the first edition of “The Golden Dog” (Le Chien d’Or) was brought out in the United States, entirely without my knowledge or sanction. Owing to the inadequacy of the then existing copyright laws, I have been powerless to prevent its continued publication, which I understand to have been a successful and profitable undertaking for all concerned, except the author, the book having gone through many editions....

DON QUIXOTE Volume II. Part 38. by Miguel de Cervantes Translated by John Ormsby CHAPTER LXII. WHICH DEALS WITH THE ADVENTURE OF THE ENCHANTED HEAD, TOGETHER WITH OTHER TRIVIAL MATTERS WHICH CANNOT BE LEFT UNTOLD Don Quixote’s host was one Don Antonio Moreno by name, a gentleman of wealth and intelligence, and very fond of diverting himself in any fair and good-natured way; and having Don Quixote in his house he set about devising modes of making him exhibit his mad points in some harmless fashion; for jests that give pain are no jests, and no sport is worth anything if it hurts another....

BOOK XX. FRIEDRICH IS NOT TO BE OVERWHELMED:THE SEVEN-YEARS WAR GRADUALLY ENDS. 25th April, 1760-15th February, 1763. Chapter I. FIFTH CAMPAIGN OPENS. There were yet, to the world’s surprise and regret, Three Campaigns of this War; but the Campaign 1760, which we are now upon, was what produced or rendered possible the other two;–was the crisis of them, and is now the only one that can require much narrative from us here....

Yet this inconstancy is suchAs you too shall adore;I could not love thee, dear, so much Lov’d I not honour more....
