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 ...

Excerpt from Archaeologia Nova Caesarea NoIT has been maintained that the term Archaeology does not apply to North, Central or South America, but that this considerable portion of the earth's habitable surface was. Not a scene of human activity until Asia, Europe and Africa and the isles of the South Seas had been so long populated that humanity was an old and not very creditable story, and then about the dawn of what we know as the historic p...

Excerpt from A Colonial WooingStepping rather reluctantly into the yard, I sat down on the ¿oor of the porch near Silas, - for he did not offer to get me a chair, - and waited for him to speak.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Notes of the Night: And Other Outdoor SketchesTrust the following pages need no explana tion, and the necessity of a preface would be done away with, much to the author's relief, were it not that here, if anywhere, acknowledgments may be made. Three of the following essays have appeared in spz'nm¿'s Magazine, and are here reproduced by kind permission of the pub lishers of that periodical. Here and there through out the volume are...

Excerpt from Outings at Odd TimesHaving an outdoor book in hand, when and how should it be read? It is no doubt very tempting to think of a shady nook, or babbling brook, or both, in connection with the latest out door volume. Possibly, as you start out for a quiet day, you string together a bit of rhyme con cerning the book, as Leigh Hunt did and others have done since. It is a common practice to carry a book into the fields, but not a logica...

Excerpt from In Nature's RealmHere, however, a word Of caution. NO book concerning Nature is in any sense a mirror re¿ecting every detail. The many subtle charms the rambler recognizes, when under the bright blue sky, are not brought home with him. He cannot pierce with a pencil - point many an impression as you may pin a butter¿y.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Birds About UsT is not necessary in a book Of this character to enter into minute details as to the anatomy and physiology of birds, important as these are to a thorough comprehension of bird-life as a whole. We will pass over, too, the subject of the relationship borne by this class Of animals to the other great groups of the animate world.It is sufficient to say that birds are known instantly by their feathers, a covering no...

Excerpt from Ten Years' Diggings in Lenâpè Land: 1901-1911It is, therefore, when we enter the archaeological field, like going from darkness into light, from a prison into freedom, from error into truth. T'ime here is a stranger in a strange land. It can make no demands but we may laugh at them. An archaeologist is a free man. He. Has facts only as his companions, and his sole duty is to record their relationship. Ten or ten thousand are mere ...

Excerpt from When the Century Was New: A NovelOf course there were the discarded spinning Wheel and broken chairs and the remains Of a claw-footed table, but no Old books, nor any bull-hide trunk studded with brass tacks. I was bitterly disappointed. Long current stories Of the early days Of the horse-head Inn were then nothing but stories told to amuse children, but by them repeated to a third generation as sober truth. Is such the beginning ...

Excerpt from Stone Age in New JerseyThe abundance of the weapons and domestic implements of the aborigines suggests that each village had at least one implement-maker, that the various stone articles were the product of the skill of some one of every community, who was exclusively devoted to the business of making them. Although, when on hunting-expeditions or in battle, the single specimens lost would have the effect to mingle all the styles ...

Excerpt from Upland and Meadow: A Poaetquissings ChronicleNow, as a matter of fact, there are not so many creeks, on the Jersey side, emptying into the Delaware between the falls and the capes, as Lindstrom mentions or Campanius describes in detail, and we can only con clude that two or more names refer, in some cases, to the same stream, or the creek and the land it drained were known by different names. In either case, we have left us no alt...

Excerpt from Travels in a Tree-TopIndians, Wild as the untamed world wherein they dwelt, and now we look almost in vain for country as Nature fashioned it. Man may make of a desert a pleasant place, but he also unmakes the forest and bares the wooded hills until as naked and desolate as the fire-swept ruins of his own construétion. It is but a matter of a few thousand cart-loads of the hill moved to one side, and the swamp that the farmer drea...
