This excellent book, by Mrs. Walton, give much historical and geographical information which enhances the story of Nehemiah and his building of the wall of Jerusalem. God's lessons remain fresh and living for every generation. This carefully written account of the life of Nehemiah not only draws lessons from his life but also draws you into his life in Artaxerxes' palace, in the desert and surrounded by enemies at Jerusalem. “This book may serve very well as a gift to a pupil in a Sunday class who has taken a liking for Biblical history. It is really a study, in sixteen chapters, of the life of Nehemiah, and these chapters partake a good deal of the character of sermons, under such appropriate titles as " The King's Table," " The Sword and the Trowel," "The Eighty-four Seals," " Having No Root," and " The Oldest Sin." Mrs. Walton is thoroughly in earnest, and has studied her subject very profoundly according to her lights. She has also, after her own fashion, made the times of Nehemiah live again, and has contrived, with undoubted skill, to introduce into her different chapters wise and inspiriting sayings from both the old and the more modern or Puritan Fathers.” -The Spectator TABLE of CONTENTS CHAPTER I—The City of Lilies.

It was the yellow ragwort that did it! I have discovered the clue at last. All night long I have been dreaming of Runswick Bay. I have been climbing the rocks, talking to the fishermen, picking my way over the masses of slippery seaweed, and breathing the fresh briny air. And all the morning I have been saying to myself, 'What can have made me dream of Runswick Bay? What can have brought the events of my short stay in that quaint little place so vividly before me?

The great cathedral bell was striking twelve. Slowly and solemnly it struck, and as it did so people looked at their watches and altered their clocks, for every one in the great city kept time by that grave old bell. Every one liked to hear it strike; but the school children liked it best of all, for they knew that with the last stroke of twelve lessons would be over, and they would be able to run home to dinner.

Excerpt from The Mysterious HouseIt had been early morning when the woman first came there, and now the day was far advanced, but still she waited on. Once she had run down a side street, and had crept into a baker's shop, and had hastily bought a bun to keep await the pangs of hunger; but in a minute's time she had been back at her post, and she had never allowed herself to lose sight of the gate again.The cathedral bells had chimed every quarter of an hour, and the bell of the great clock had struck the hours one after another; and her steps had grown slower and slower as the time went on; but, weary though she was she never thought of going away, or of ceasing to keep her watch on the great iron gate.She was a tall thin woman, with a sorrowful face and with a restless anxious eye, and on her brow were many wrinkles and marks of care, although she could not have been more than forty years of age.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
