  • The Pacific Coast Speller

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, Dec. 5, 2017)
    Excerpt from The Pacific Coast SpellerDictation exercises have been given throughout the book. The pupils should be required to write these as they are read by their teacher; thus affording at the same time an excellent drill in spelling, definitions, composition and penmanship.In Parts II and III these exercises are also specially designed to give the pupil valuable information, in marked contrast to the strained, and often inelegant, sentences found as Dictation Exercises in other books.Another peculiar feature is the use of script. It is certainly a discouraging task to undertake to master the forms of all our English words, by the aid of the memory alone. Rules, reason and analogy, will do but little for us in our irregular language. Lve must have, also, the aid of the eye. To this end it is desirable that the word be presented to the eye in the same shape in which our knowledge is to be tested, and applied. We rarely have occasion to spell otherwise than in writing.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

    Paperback (RareBooksClub.com, March 6, 2012)
    This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1885 Excerpt: ...On the back side a light belt descends from a long shaft at the ceiling that drives all the machines, ranfring in rows on the floor. On the left side of our machine on a peg hangs a small reel of wire, that has been straightened by running through a compound system of small rollers. This wire descends and the end of it enters the machine. This is the food consumed by this snappish, voracious little dwarf. It pulls it in and bites it off by inches incessantly, one hundred and forty bites a minute. Just as he seizes each bite a saucy little hammer, with a concave face, hits the end of the wire three taps and "upsets" it to a head, while he gripe it in a counter-sunk hole between his teeth. With an outward tum of his tongue he then lays the pic sideways in a little groove across the rim of a small wheel that Blowly revolves just under his nose. By the external pressure of a stationary hoop these pins roll into their places, as they are carried under two series of small files, three in each. These flies grow smaller toward the end of the series. They lie at a slight inclination on the points of the pins, and a series of cams, levers and springs are made to play "like lightning." Thus the pins are pointed and dropped in a little shower into a box. Twentyeight pounds of pins is a day's work for one of these erking little automatons. Forty machines make five hundred and sixty pounds daily. Two very intelligent machines reject every crooked pin, even a slight irregularity of form being detected. Another automaton assorts half a dozen lengths in as many different boxes, all at once, and unerringly, when a careless operation has mixed the boxes from various machines. Lastly, a perfect genius of a machine hangs the pins by the heads in an inclined ...

Also in this Book Oceania and Australasia is a region that mostly comprises of the continent of Australia. It also includes Australasia, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. It is situated in the south east of the Asia Pacific region and is the second smallest continental grouping and the least populated continent.

Hurons and Chippewas were most numerous. Some tribes, such as Sac, Fox, and Miami, both hunted and farmed. They depended on the open prairies where they engaged in communal hunts for buffalo (bison). Plains tribes occasionally engaged in agriculture, e.g. tobacco and corn. These included: the Blackfoot, Arapaho, Assiniboine, Cheyenne, Comanche, Crow, Gros Ventre, Kiowa, Lakota, Lipan, Plains Apache (or Kiowa Apache), Plains Cree, Plains Ojibwe, Sarsi, Shoshone, Stoney, and Tonkawa. Yankee settlers from New England began to arrive in Ohio prior to 1800, and then spread throughout the northern half of the Midwest. Most began as farmers, but many later moved to urban areas as entrepreneurs and professionals. Since its beginnings in the 1830s, and its development as a livestock and grain transport hub, Chicago grew to dominate the Midwestern metropolis landscape, and still does.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.
