Excerpt from The Braes of Yarrow, Vol. 3 of 3: A RomanceHe had not, however, advanced more than half a mile after crossing the Ettrick when he heard the distant note of a bugle. Presently the signal was answered by a still more distant note.Suspecting that these sounds intimated the discovery of his change of route, he urged his jaded horse forward. The poor animal, already fairly exhausted by its lengthened journey, made a feeble effort to quicken its pace in obedience to whip and spur.But the pace was little increased after all, and the extra exertion thus forced upon it served only to exhaust its remaining strength the sooner.The feet were lifted like Weights and fell with dull thuds upon the turf. Gradually, in despite of fiercest promptings, the pace slackened and the gallop was barely as fast as a fresh horse might have trotted with ease.Now he began to hear the distant tread of a body of horse, which rapidly became louder - louder as the pursuers lessened the distance between them and the pursued. At length with the muffled sound of the hoof-treads was mingled the clatter and clank of armour.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Robin Gray, Vol. 1 of 3: A NovelNicol McWhapple, with a startled expression on his sharp, hawkish features, sat in his chair, clutching his silver snuff-box tightly with one hand, whilst the other was arrested midway between the box and his nose with a pinch of the pungent dust.He stared searchingly at the frank, good-natured face of the young man who was standing on the hearth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from In Love and War, Vol. 3 of 3: A RomanceThere was no other way of ingress to the dungeons or egress from them save by this ward-room, and therefore it was nu necessary for the sentinel to remain in the passage - for no prisoner could escape, even if he managed to open his dungeon door, unless he passed through the midst of the soldiers.The escaping prisoner and his guide halted on the threshold of the ward room.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored." Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books.There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon.Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.
