    George William Ellis

    Paperback (HardPress Publishing, Jan. 10, 2012)
    Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

  • Askja, Iceland's Largest Volcano: With a Description of the Great Lava Desert in the Interior and a Chapter On the Genesis of the Island

    William George Lock

    Paperback (Ulan Press, Aug. 31, 2012)
    This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
  • Prue and I, And, Lotus Eating

    George William Curtis

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, Jan. 23, 2018)
    Excerpt from Prue and I, And, Lotus EatingWorld way made them the happy hunting-grounds of the satirical and cynical. Mr. Curtis was too wholesome and kindly for cynicism, but he had a quick eye for pretension and sham, and a happy gift for social satire, as The Potiphar Papers, published a year later, showed. The habit Of writing was already established, and a record of these short journeys took the form Of a series Of letters to the New York Tribune, and, later, of lotus-eating with little illustrative notes by Kensett, one of the most popular painters of the dav which contributed to the charm of a volume of scenic and social observation, necessarily ephemeral in form, but which has the qualities Of Mr. Curtis's nature: his kindly temper, his humorous mood, his easy and Opulent style. The comparison Of the Hudson and the Rhine in the Opening chapter assumes a general unfamiliarity with the two rivers which ceased long ago, and is written with a certain simplicity and youthful pleasure which the more Sophisticated temper of to-day is likely to regard as signs of an immaturity happily outgrown. There is, however, no pleasanter report of the comfortable, easy, and Optimistic social life of the middle of the last century than lotus-eating; nor is there a more refreshing contrast with the subtle, elaborate, highly sophistic ated studies of places and people which have taken the place of these simple, old-fashioned impressions of a quieter, less troubled age than ours.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
