William Tyndale, Reformer, Scholar, and Martyr, annotated, is an electronic reprint of the classic, Dayspring: A Story of the Time of William Tyndale, Reformer, Scholar, and Martyr. This book was originally copyrighted in 1897. The re-print title has been shortened for the brevity trend of modern times. A guide to common phrases and words of the 15th century has been supplemented by the Editor, in addition to textual annotations, but the original content remains. It is wholly impossible to overrate what we owe William Tyndale. As his stately figure moves before us over the Gloucestershire hills, and as he girds on his armour for the conflict, and drinks deep of the precious draught of Greek scholarship, that he may pour its new wine into the stream by the wayside which shall refresh thousands and tens of thousands of his countrymen in the years to come, our eyes linger on him with love and reverence and gratitude hard to put into words.Again, when driven from his quiet asylum at Sodbury Manor,* tossed about on the surging sea of human life in the great metropolis, disappointed and de-ceived, he is yet the same calm and dignified man. In the little we read of his London life, there is nothing of railing or contention. He must do his work, and as to the rest, God would take care of it.* Little Sodbury is an English village in South Gloucestershire. The “manor of Sodbury” comprises the nearby Chipping Sodbury and Old Sodbury: it is separate from that of Little Sodbury.The 15th century Little Sodbury Manor was the home of Sir John Walsh who hired William Tyndale as chaplain and tutor to his grandchildren in 1522. He began his translation of the Bible in his bedroom here. The house fell into poor condition in the nineteenth century, but was restored by architect Sir Harold Brakspear for Lord Grosvenor. Anthony Emery, “Greater Medieval Houses of England and Wales, 1300-1500: Southern Eng-land”, Cambridge University Press, 2006, p. 115.And then in the long years he spent as an exile, we read of his benevolence, “of his deeds of love and kindness as he stood by the beds of the sick and dying.” His beloved Book was printed, and brought down showers of bitter persecution. It was seized, burned at St. Paul's Cross, and the ashes scattered to the four winds of heaven. But the giant resolve did not falter. The more Bibles that were burned, the more would he print and send to England! Shamefully betrayed at last by a seeming friend, he contented himself to die.“Open the king's eyes that he may see,” he said; and so, with a prayer for those who did him wrong, like his Divine Master, he passed to the eternal rest of His redeemed ones, leaving behind him the imperishable work which the author has tried to commemorate in this story.

Our Empire Story: Stories of India and the Greater Colonies Told to Boys and Girls by H. E. Marshall. Illustrated by J. R. Skelton. H. E. Marshall's 1908 book Our Empire Story is one of the great classics which emanated from the time when the British Empire was at its height. Spanning four continents, the Empire included Canada, Southern Africa, India, Australia and New Zealand-and this hugely entertaining book covers them all. This epic deals with each individual nation from the time of the first European settlement to the beginning of the twentieth century. Originally designed for children aged 9 to 12 years, the immense readability of Our Empire Story quickly gained it a far wider audience. It became a bestseller of its day. Written in the colourful style of its time, Our Empire Story is an unashamedly pro-British book and is filled with stories of high drama, humour and tragedy. Above all, it serves as a lasting testament to one of the most powerful empires in history. This version is an accurate reproduction of the original with all errors which mar other editions removed.

Uncle Tom's Cabin Told to the Children By H. E. Marshall This short retelling of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin tells the life stories of a number of slaves and slave-owners in the south, and shows the detrimental effects of servitude on both master and slave. It follows the original story faithfully and does an excellent job of depicting complex character development in a brief space.
