  • Memoir of John Codman, D. D

    William Allen

    Hardcover (Forgotten Books, Jan. 13, 2018)
    Excerpt from Memoir of John Codman, D. DTo give to the world a record of the virtues and labors of the New England clergy, is one of the best methods of perpetuating the blessings with which they have enriched us. Whenever a min ister has been eminent in the cause of Christ, it becomes an imperative duty to hold his character and services in grateful remembrance. If, after his death, his worth is commemorated, and his life and character are presented to the world, he is still a preacher of righteousness on the earth, while he mingles in the worship above, and praises' his Redeemer in the upper temple, not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

    Hardcover (Forgotten Books, Jan. 11, 2019)
    Excerpt from Generydes: A Romance in Seven-Line Stanzas From the poem itself we get no clue as to the original. The translator, to eke out his verse, occasionally introduces such phrases as the story tellith it me' 'mynne Auctour seith myn Auctour tellith me' 'as the writeng scyth' 'myn Auctour doth witnesse' 'the story doth witnesse' 'the Story tellith me' 'the story makith mynde' I me reporte onto the letterys blake' as my Auctor doth write' in the story leke as I do fynde' (6732) but he tells us no more. In the Roxburghe Club version there is a French original spoken of, and a Latin translation from it by a clerk at Hertford, but here the information ends.

    William Aldis Wright

    Paperback (HardPress Publishing, Jan. 10, 2012)
    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.

  • An Elementary Treatise On Solid Geometry

    William Steadman Aldis

    Paperback (Ulan Press, Aug. 31, 2012)
    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.
