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.

These are not all of the fine cities in France. There are others in the interior as remarkable for cotton mills, linen factories, and iron works as Lyons for its silk looms; and still others on the coast, which are famous as markets for wine, brandy, and fruits, or for the elegant manufactures of the country. But, after all, France is not nearly so crowded as Great Britain; for, though more than twice as large, it has not so many great cities; and Paris itself is but little more than half the size of London. 1. The Netherlands (or Holland), a small but very interesting country, lies in the low plains about the mouth of the Rhine. The ground is so low and flat that it is hard work to keep the sea from overflowing, and covering it entirely. There are many lakes and marshes along the shore. The people build, around these, banks of earth, called dikes, to keep out the sea, then pump the water from them until they are dry, and so change them into rich meadows. 2. Canals run all through the country, to drain away the water; and in summer you will see the people moving about in little boats, instead of going in carriages, by roads, as in other countries. In winter the canals all freeze over, and then are covered with skaters. The farmers' wives skate to market, the men to business, and the children to school. 3. The Netherlander are called Dutch, and it was from this country that the people came who first settled New York.

Excerpt from The Rival Volunteers, or the Black Plume RiflesA mysterious red chalk-mark had been discovered beneath the threshold of more than one dwelling harbor ing inmates suspected of secession proclivities, and the sinister rumor had been bruited round, that houses thus designated were to be given up to plunder and pillage, and razed to the ground under cover of night - a rumor so terrifying to the Secessionists, that more than one family, hastily packing up their most precious valu ables, betook themselves therewith to their carriages, leaving the city with all speed, spending the entire night in the fields, and not venturing to return in the morning until a servant had first been sent out in recon noisance, to ascertain if haply their own roof-trees re mained to shelter them.In the midst of all this fearful foreboding and deadly virulence, one spacious mansion, the gilding of its cor nices fresh and bright, the paint of its frescoes scarcely dry, echoed only to sounds of mirth and festivity. N o loud, spirit-stirring peals of music here, only those li, ht, airy tones inspiring languid poetry of motion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
