Product Description
Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored."  Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books.

There are now 65,000  titles available  (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as  Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon.

Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website. ... Read more

Valuable Resource
This is an important book for families with children. Our youth are constantly bombarded with musical messages of all sorts. Although some is inspirational and insightful, others do not lend themselves to spiritual growth and respect for others. This book challenges the reader to look into the message within the music. A great resource that couldn't have arrived soon enough. ... Read more

Some Excerpts:

V. Learning "Colonial Experience" -

There were three of us, Dougald McAlister, Jack Thwaites, and myself. The place was called in the grandiloquent language of
the bush, "The Dinkledoodleddum Station" (I like these old
native names), because it was situated in the Dinkledoodledum
Creek.Dinkledoodledum-- a any philologist can guess by the
sound of it--means the Valley of the Rippling Streamlets; but
alas! never a rippling streamlet did out eyes behold during
our stay in the inhospitable valley.
...............................................................................

XI. Romance of Bullocktown -

Mr. John Hardy, the schoolmaster, was regarded with some degree of awe by the Bullocktown folks.As a general rule,
Bullocktown stood in awe of nothing under or over heaven,
believing utterly in the eternal fitness of things, and the
propriety of its own existence.But Mr. John Hardy was a
human being of a type so unfamiliar to Bullocktown, that for
once in its life the township unwillingly did reverence.

The new schoolmaster was a tall, gaunt, angular man, with a
mop of black hair, large bony hands, and black melancholy
eyes.He arrived by the night coach with no more property
than a small bag sufficed to carry, and asked Flash Harry if
the schoolmaster's house was anywhere near.Harry pointed
with his whip to the little hut which, embowered in creepers,
stood on the hill, and the new comer at once tramped away
to it, ignoring with provoking complacency the great business
of "liquoring up" which was the commercial pursuit of Bullocktown.
...............................................................................

XV. Holiday Peak -

It was dusk when we reached the flat, for, determined to make the most of my brief holiday, I had wandered with Wallaby Dick
all day smong the ranges.

Wallaby Dick was a lame man, with a face like one of those German toys called "nut-crackers".He was very old, and had
lived in his bark hut under the Bluff of the last fifteen years.
Wallaby could shoot or snare any living creature that bred,
and boasted that he knew every mountain-path, track, and
gully between White Swamp and Mount Dreadful.So mighty
was the prowness of his gun, that men from the stations
round about, spending a barren day stalking the scrub, would
aver that Wallaby had discovered the track which led to that
legendary Land of Plenty existing on the inaccessible summit
of the ranges, and was wont to withdraw from his kind to hunt
there.
