Excerpt from The Big American Caravan in Europe I one, my daughter, and I are the only ones from Mississippi. Only two Southern States are represented, there being two ladies from Nashville, Tennessee, and one gentleman from Flor ida. Of the 186 here, 108 are ladies, showing quite a prepon derance of the fair sex. And thus you have an analysis of the handsome little pamphlet liberally distributed to the passengers and their friends before the departure of the ship. I may add, as an item of interest to bachelors, that much over one-half of the ladies are single. By a previous arrangement most of the party met at the St. Nicholas hotel in New York prior to sailing. On Saturday morning early the hotel coach began the no small task of carry ing down passengers and baggage. I went down with the last load and found the ship crowded with people and everything in a jam and confusion. Hundreds had come on board to bid friends and acquaintances goodbye, and groups were standing about here and there in earnest converse. It never occurred that any familiar face would meet us', but we had that pleasure, nevertheless, 'for nearly an hour before starting we were joined by that most genial gentleman, John Bell, of Commodore Pari sot's fleet; and when, an hour later, all visitors had gone upon the pier and our vessel was pushing out for the sea, the last we saw of his pleasant face was while he was waving his handker chief. With hundreds ofothers, and bidding us God speed and a pleasant voyage. He is the only home friend we have seen since leaving Cincinnati. We were to have been accompanied by a charming young lady of Vicksburg, but the trivial circum stance of contemplated matrimony prevented her coming, and we have been out of humor with Cupid ever since.

Despite the fact that, if only by number, small and peripheral cities played an important role in fifteenth and sixteenth-century European print culture, book history has mainly been dominated by monographs on individual big book centres. Through a number of specific case studies, which deploy a variety of methods and a wide range of sources, this volume seeks to enhance our understanding of printing and the book trade in small and peripheral European cities in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and to emphasize the necessity of new research for the study of print culture in such cities.

Excerpt from An American Hobo in Europe Stranger, will you please permit me to give you an introduction to a particular friend of mine, little Billy. Little Billy and I had long been friends and had become so intimate that we were more like brothers than friends. Some brothers indeed do not stick to each other as closely as Billy and I did for we never quarreled and the worst that ever happened between us was a little growl which we soon got over. Billy and I had been on the bum together a long while and had prospected for gold and other things in Utah, Nevada and California. The adventures we had if I were to relate them would fill several such volumes as this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Atlantis! The legendary lost continent comes under the close scrutiny of archaeologist David Hatcher Childress. From Ireland to Turkey, Morocco to Eastern Europe, or remote islands of the Mediterranean and Atlantic, Childress takes the reader on an astonishing quest for mankind's past. Ancient technology, cataclysms, megalithic construction, lost civilisations, and devastating wars of the past are all explored in this amazing book. Childress challenges the sceptics and proves that great civilisations not only existed in the past but that the modern world and its problems are reflections of the ancient world of Atlantis.

Excerpt from The Innocents Abroad So far as I remember, I have never seen an Author's Preface which had any purpose but one - to furnish reasons for the publication of the book. Prefaces wear many disguises, call themselves by various names, and pretend to come on various businesses, but I think that upon examination we are quite sure to find that their errand is always the same: they are there to apologize for the book; in other words, furnish reasons for its publication. This often insures brevity. Upon these terms, if there is nothing to explain or nothing worth the explanation, there is no occasion for a Preface; there is nothing for it to do - except to explain its own presence, apologize for its intrusion. That is what this present Preface does. When the books in this collection appeared in print originally, most of them had Prefaces which furnished reasons for publication. Those Introductions will be found in their places, and need not be repeated here. The jurisdiction of the present Preface is restricted to furnishing reasons for the publication of the Collection as a whole. This is not easy to do.
