Excerpt from A Glimpse Into the Past To be brought face to face with the heroes and monarchs of the ancient world, to see them in their habit as they lived, to know the countries over which they bore rule, the sports and. Pastimes with which they amused themselves and their subjects, the wars they prosecuted and the victories which they won, we have but to open a cabinet of ancient coins. In a moment we are in a fairy land. At will we can transport ourselves back almost to the first eras of human life at will we can raise before our eyes a vision of the past, the long-spent past of centuries buried in the dust of ages, but as vivid and as ineffaceable as though it were ofto-day. Coins and coinage betoken that the last steps have been taken by a com munityin its progress towards civilization. Rude indeed is the condition of a tribe whose daily wants are to be supplied by a barter of commodities. From actual value to a representation of value is a vast stride, only possible to a nation whose polished mind can evolve a life surrounded by art and its varied refinements. The currency of a people is the index of the degree of civiliza tion to which it has attained, and presents to us at one compre hensive View, in a manner more forcible than words could ever accomplish, the knowledge of its aesthetic perfection. Document ary evidence may be altered in a thousand ways; inscriptions may be added to and fabricated long after the period to which they apparently belong. Art is, however, always expressive of some contemporaneous idea, and conveys it unaltered to the latest times. No monarch, however absolute; can make the art of his time other than the expression of the feeling of that age; nor can he make it better than the advancement of his 'people at that time can afford. Art is therefore always an intelligible contemporary, one which. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

'This book is a not-so-small joy in itself.' NIGELLA LAWSON 'Parkinson has the gift of making you look with new eyes at everyday things. The perfect daily diversion.' JOJO MOYES 'Always funny and frank and full of insight, I absolutely love Parkinson's writing.' DAVID NICHOLLS 'I loved this book . . . Parkinson's writing transports you to unexpected places of joy and comfort . . . these pages contain happiness.' MARINA HYDE 'The twenty-first century feels a lot more bearable in Parkinson's company.' CHARLOTTE MENDELSON Drawn from the successful Guardian column, these everyday exultations and inspirations will get you through dismal days. Hannah Jane Parkinson is a specialist in savouring the small pleasures of life. She revels in her fluffy dressing gown ('like bathing in marshmallow'), finds calm in solo cinema trips, is charmed by the personalities of fonts ('you'll never see Comic Sans on a funeral notice'), celebrates pockets and gleefully abandons a book she isn't enjoying. Parkinson's everyday exaltations - selected from her immensely successful Guardian column - will utterly delight. FEATURES BRAND NEW MATERIAL 'A compendium of delights.' OBSERVER 'Delightful . . . a love letter to those little moments of bliss that get us through the daily grind.' RED

Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.
