THEAETETUS by Plato Translated by Benjamin Jowett INTRODUCTION AND ANALYSIS. Some dialogues of Plato are of so various a character that their relation to the other dialogues cannot be determined with any degree of certainty. The Theaetetus, like the Parmenides, has points of similarity both with his earlier and his later writings. The perfection of style, the humour, the dramatic interest, the complexity of structure, the fertility of illustration, the shifting of the points of view, are characteristic of his best period of authorship....

WAU-BUN, THE EARLY DAY IN THE NORTHWEST. BY MRS. JOHN H. KINZIE, OF CHICAGO. “If we but knew the exact meaning of the word ‘WAU-BUN,’ we should be happy.”–Critic. “WAU-BUN–The dawn–the break of day.”–Ojibeway Vocabulary. * * * * * PHILADELPHIA 1873 PREFACE. Every work partaking of the nature of an autobiography is supposed to demand an apology to the public. To refuse such a tribute, would be to recognize the justice of the charge, so often brought against our countrymen–of a too great willingness to be made acquainted with the domestic history and private affairs of their neighbors....

MORLEY 1914 PREFATORY NOTE The task of collecting and editing the various essays of which this book is comprised, has not been altogether easy. Some literary defects and absence of unity are, by the nature of the scheme, inevitable: we hope these are counterbalanced by the collection of first-hand evidence from those in a position to speak authoritatively of the professions which they follow....

They have within less than a year led a mighty empire to the brink of dissolution and no man can foretell where and how the process will end for worse or for better....

NIGHT WATCHES by W.W. Jacobs THE UNKNOWN “Handsome is as ‘andsome does,” said the night-watchman. It’s an old saying, but it’s true. Give a chap good looks, and it’s precious little else that is given to ‘im. He’s lucky when ‘is good looks ‘ave gorn–or partly gorn–to get a berth as night-watchman or some other hard and bad-paid job. One drawback to a good-looking man is that he generally marries young; not because ‘e wants to, but because somebody else wants ‘im to....

THE WILLOWS Algernon Blackwood(1907) I After leaving Vienna, and long before you come to Budapest, the Danube enters a region of singular loneliness and desolation, where its waters spread away on all sides regardless of a main channel, and the country becomes a swamp for miles upon miles, covered by a vast sea of low willow-bushes. On the big maps this deserted area is painted in a fluffy blue, growing fainter in color as it leaves the banks, and across it may be seen in large straggling letters the word Sumpfe, meaning marshes....
