Excerpt from The Story of the Great WarIf there had been another statesman of Prince Metter nich's crafty and unprincipled ability to reorganize the rulers through another alliance after 1848, similar to The Holy Alliance which he created in 1815, freedom might have been much further off. But it was not until our day that another man arose who wished to control the peoples of other nations besides his own. This man was William Hohenzollern, the former emperor of Germany. The way for him, however, had been prepared by an earlier Prus sian statesman, Otto von Bismarck, who took up and per fected the idea of autocracy in Germany when all the other nations, except Russia and Austria, were winning their liberties from kings and princes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Rhineheart's Game: Mission Two NJ Farnsworth is a ten-year-old in the fourth grade. He is the fourth of six children in his family-and he was born with spina bifida. Until this year, NJ hated school and merely endured every day in his wheelchair. But when his school gave him a laptop computer for his homework, he discovered a secret virtual reality program in which he can walk and run and play like other children. On each level of the game, NJ learns principles, values and skills to help him live better in his wheelchair. This mission requires that he save the lives of three people before he can complete the level successfully. But who does he have to save? What must he save them from? How can he save anyone else, when he is just ten years old? Will he even be able to save himself inside this level of Rhineheart's Game?

Rhineheart’s Game, Level One – Understanding is the first book about Nicolas James Farnsworth—who goes by NJ. He was born with Spina bifida to a large family in a big city where money is scarce. When the new school year started, all the students in the special needs class were issued a laptop computer to help them with their schoolwork. However, when NJ gets home and turns on his computer, he meets a man named Rhineheart inside his computer who introduces NJ to a computer program which takes him into a virtual reality and teaches him skills he needs to live a more enjoyable life in his wheelchair. Once inside the game, NJ finds he can walk, run and play like other children. The people he meets and the skills he learns make it so he will never be the same person again, once he returns to his real life and his wheelchair.

Excerpt from A Tight Squeeze, or the Adventures of a Gentleman: Who, on a Wager of Ten Thousand Dollars, Undertook to Go From New York to New Orleans in Three Weeks, Without Money, as a Professional TrampDon't be a poll parrot, Smythe. Tell me what they are. You've been to college and learned to row, and box, and play base ball, and ought to know nearly every thing. Here I am continually reading about them. Every paper you pick up is full of them. Tramp, tramp, tramp, from one end of the paper to the other. There is not a chicken purloined Off a roost; a man killed; a house fired a train ditched; virtue outraged, vice embellished, or deviltry of any kind perpetrated, but this omnipresent scape-goat of the nineteenth century appears to be at the bottom of it all. Now I want to know what a tramp is.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
