Excerpt from Belgium Past and Present: The Cockpit of EuropeThis book does not pretend to being a formal history of the Flemish and Walloon provinces up to their union as an independent kingdom, nor does it deal with Belgium exclusively. Its aim is, with pen and pencil, to illustrate the stirring past of that troubled borderland on which neighbour-nations have so often fought their quarrels, till in our own day it made an arena for the main st...

Excerpt from Surrey The illustrations in this book speak for themselves. The writer feels it no easy undertaking to strike bass chords in prose that may worthily accompany these high notes of Surrey's fame, but he has done his best towards pointing out its special charm of varied formation and surface, here displayed upon the course of excursions made in several directions, so as to bring in all the chief features. To author as well as artist...

Excerpt from Classic Myth and Legend Ascott Hope was a name of joy to the schoolboys of sixty years ago. They recognized in his stories their own jolly lives, and saw the same happy young scamps who were all round them, punching each other's heads, and shirking their work if they could, and triumphantly hoodwinking their masters, and having a good time. That was before the psychological problems came in, and unwholesome schoolboys, half grown...
