A Library of the World's Best Literature - Ancient and Modern - Vol. XI (Forty-Five Volumes); Dana-Dickens

By: Charles Dudley Warner

Popular American essayist, novelist, and journalist CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER (1829-1900) was renowned for the warmth and intimacy of his writing, which encompassed travelogue, biography and autobiography, fiction, and more, and influenced entire generations of his fellow writers. Here, the prolific writer turned editor for his final grand work, a splendid survey of global literature, classic and modern, and it's not too much to suggest that if his friend and colleague Mark Twain-who stole Warner's quip about how "everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it"-had assembled this set, it would still be hailed today as one of the great achievements of the book world. Highlights from Volume 11 include: . excerpts from Dante's Divine Comedy . the nature writing of Charles Darwin . selections from Daniel Dafoe . the poems of Thomas Dekker . the philosophy of Demosthenes . the writings of Ren Descartes . excerpts from Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities . and much, much more.

The Fugitive Shakespeare and Sonnet 144

By: Charles Murray Willis

THE FUGITIVE SHAKESPEARE AND SONNET 144 The discovery of a 16th century manuscript version of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 144 is the most important historical and literary find ever made relating to Shakespearean studies. The date of composition of this manuscript indicates ca.1577-78 when William Shakspere (the original spelling of his family name) was aged between 13-14 which would suggest that he couldn’t have written this Sonnet because he was too young. The story behind this discovery and how the document was found is as astonishing as how the document has managed to survive for over 400 years. The connection in this story between Shakespeare and the famous playwright Ben Jonson is also explored as it was Jonson who provided the most important evidence that Shakespeare was the author of the First Folio which was published in 1623. “At last, after more than four hundred years there is a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel, a significant Shakespearean clue has been discovered which may help to solve the Shakespeare authorship question.” – Sir Derek Jacobi, award-winning Shakespearean actor.

Magna Charta Barons and Their Descendants

By: Charles Henry Browning

A successor to the 1898 work "The Magna Charta Barons and Their American Descendants," the pedigrees herein are of the members of the Order of Runnemede in 1915--in effect, a second "yearbook" of the Order. Since pedigrees were dropped and added as the membership of the Order changed, this work stands by itself and does not supersede the 1898 volume. Nearly 200 pages are devoted to pedigrees of the members, which are grouped under the following names: Abbott, Allyn, Aston, Bernard, Bevan, Booth, Brooke, Bruen, Bulkeley, Byrd, Cadwalader, Calvert, Carter, Chauncey, Chichester, Claiborne, Claypool, Clayton, Daubeney, Digges, Drake, Dundas, Evans, Fauntleroy, Fenwick, Fleete, Foulke, Gordon, Gorsuch, Haynes, Henry, Humfrey, Irvine, Lambert, Lawrence, Leete, Lindsay, Lloyd, Lyman, Lynde, MacGehee, McIntosh, Montgomery, Norton, O'Carroll, Owen, Reade, Rose, Saltonstall, Scott, Sherman, Skipwith, Spotswood, Stewart, Sullivan, Throckmorton, Warren, Washington, West, Wetherill, Whiting, Wilkinson, Williams, Willis, Willoughby, Winthrop, Witherspoon, Woodhull, and Wyatt.

The Smyrna Corner

An Epic Tale of Money, Love & Politics Set in the Crumbling Ottoman Empire on the Eve of World War I

By: Charles Thoma

The year is 1913. Balints father asks him to abandon his brilliant political career to help save the embattled family conglomerate and the thousands of workers whose livelihoods depend on it by expanding into the lucrative Ottoman empire. Reluctantly, Balint accepts and sets off for Smyrna with an old school friend to bid for a large contract to build railway lines in western Anatolia. But Balint soon realises he has joined a predatory pack of European firms who are ripping the decaying Ottoman empire apart to feast on its meat. The Germans are finishing their ambitious Berlin to Baghdad railway to complete their stronghold over Ottoman Turkey and strengthen their position in the forthcoming World War. The French, the British and the Italians all have massive profits to protect and do not look kindly upon newcomer Balint. The Ottomans themselves are beginning to resent these rapacious Europeans and their limitless appetite. With allies like snakes, implacable enemies, and deceit in unexpected corners, what Balint expects to achieve in Smyrna and what he discovers turn out to be opposites. And with World War I threatening to engulf Turkey, navigating his way to success becomes an increasingly complexand improbable exercise. In this innovative novel, finance, politics, business and philosophy create conflicts of awesome proportions. Set in a time when empires & states sink into oblivion, new countries spring up from monarchies that melt, and governments and cultures disappear amid crisis and war, this historical novel provides a radically new angle on the story of how man has always been a wolf to man.

Americans of Royal Descent

Collection of Genealogies Showing the Lineal Descent from Kings of Some American Families ...

By: Charles Henry Browning

A standard work on royal genealogy, this collection contains nearly 200 pedigrees showing the lineal descent of hundreds of American families from the kings of England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and France. The data derives from authoritative reference works, from family histories, and from manuscript pedigrees held in both public and private repositories. The indexes contain references to upwards of 3,000 surnames, many with multiple entries. One need only trace a surname through a lineage to connect with the Blood Royal. (Earlier editions of this work are not necessarily superseded by the seventh edition, but the seventh is held to be the most authoritative, and is therefore the most popular.)
