Excerpt from The Wonderful Story of Blue Beard: And His Last Wife Many years ago, a noble castle stood on the side of a hill, surrounded by the most beautiful gardens, groves, and fields.

Excerpt from The Scourge, Or, Literary, Theatrical and Miscellaneous Magazine, Vol. 9 The Property, or Income Tax. Such are the appellations conferred by the minister and the public, on one of the most obnoxious and oppressive impositions that ever tried the loyalty, or awakened the remonstrances of the British public.

Excerpt from Peter Schlemihl: From the German of Lamotte Fouque Adelung said to me one day at Petersburgh - "Have you read Peter Schlemihl?" - "No." - "If you read it, you will translate it." - I have translated it. The story is a moral one. I leave its development to my readers. It would be little flattering to them to suspect they required my assistance, in order to discover the obvious lessons it conveys. I have not scrupled to introduce...

Excerpt from Points of Humour, Vol. 1Something, however, is to be allowed to the nature of the subject, and something to the education of the poet: and if from veneration to the names of Swift and Dryden, we tolerate the grossness of the one, and the indelicacy of the other, the respect due to that of Burns, may surely claim indulgence for a few light strokes of broad humour.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of...
