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 The Old Hemlock and Other Symbols: A Book of VerseThe in verse has no system of noting pauses that do not chance to coincide with syntactical sentence-divisions, no legitimate method of indicating peculiar stress, but the capital letter. Therefore, in printing this little book the old classic use is had recourse to: that is to say, the capital is restricted to its prose function of working a fresh start in the flow of words, a voc...

Excerpt from The Gospel of Osiris: Being an Epic Cento and Paraphrase of Ancient FragmentsWhen the works of Budge, and later of Breasted, fell into his hands, he had the long anticipated delight of realizing the Egyptian antecedents of Christianity.

Excerpt from Émile AugierNow, the cost of the hampering unities should never be mentioned without also alluding to the net gain. The narrow limits set to the action of the French play resulted in an arbitrary, sometimes cruel - but also, at least with masterpieces-a benefi cent and almost miraculous simplification. For suc cess the master needed far greater expertness. The conventions being obtrusive had to be subtler for to] cration. The dram...
