Books with author W. C. (William Chambers) Morrow

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.

At the period when our tale opens, Lady Jean's charms, though never seen in the capital, had begun to make some noise there; and the curiosity excited re specting them amongst the juvenile party of the vice-regal court, had induced Lord Wigton to confine her ladyship even more strictly than heretofore, lest, perchance, some gallant might make a pilgrimage to his country-seat in order to behold her, and, from less to more, induce her to quit her retirement, in such a way as would effectually discomfit his schemes for the pre-advancement of his elder daughters. He had been at pains to send an express to Cumbernauld, ordering Lady Jean to be 'confined to the precincts of the house and the terrace-garden, and to be closely attended in all her movements by a trusty domestic. The consequence was, that the young lady complained most piteously to her deaf old lady-mother of the tedium and listlessness of her.

Excerpt from Chambers's Miscellany of Useful and Entertaining TractsIn the space of six years, a considerable change for the better was thus made on the social condition of the district, which Stouber expected still to improve, when he was appointed pastor of Barr in Lorraine. He was not long in this new situation, when he re retted that he had left the Ban de la Roche; and some time t ereafter, when the pastorshi of that canton was again vacant, he gladly returned to it, to t e great joy of many of his old parishioners. He now remained four years, fulfilling his important duties, and daily improving the minds of the people committed to his charge. Unfortunately, his wife, who was an active co-operator in this plans, died, leaving him forlorn and dispirited; and being offered the situation of pastor to St Thomas's church, in Strasburg, he accepted it, though greatly fearful that, b his departure, the Ban de la Roche would relapse into the con itiou from which he had been instrumental in raising it. Pondering on this unhappy prospect, it occurred to him that if Oberlin, with whose abilities e was well acquainted, could be prevailed on to accept the vacant charge, no fears need be entertained for the continued wellbeing of the district.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, 1850: Volumes 13-14Lu rural folk say what they will, we Londoners do contrive to make our winters very comfortable and agreeable: if the atmosphere be murky without, within doors we have bright sea-coal fires, happy faces, and no end of entertaining relaxations, which grow heartier and warmer as the word goes from mouth to mouth Christmas is coming. It would do your eyes good in going along our streets just now, notwithstanding the mire, to see the display in the shops - magazines and mourning, books and bonnets, cakes, carpets, cashmeres, and confectionary.
