THE WRITINGS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN CONSTITUTIONAL EDITION VOLUME 1. INTRODUCTORY Immediately after Lincoln’s re-election to the Presidency, in an off-hand speech, delivered in response to a serenade by some of his admirers on the evening of November 10, 1864, he spoke as follows: “It has long been a grave question whether any government not too strong for the liberties of its people can be strong enough to maintain its existence in great emergencies....
The Signal-Man The Haunted-House The Trial For Murder THE SIGNAL-MAN “Halloa! Below there!” When he heard a voice thus calling to him, he was standing at the door of his box, with a flag in his hand, furled round its short pole. One would have thought, considering the nature of the ground, that he could not have doubted from what quarter the voice came; but instead of looking up to where I stood on the top of the steep cutting nearly over his head, he turned himself about, and looked down the Line....

RECOLLECTIONS OF THE PRIVATE LIFE OF NAPOLEON, Complete By CONSTANT PREMIER VALET DE CHAMBRE TRANSLATED BY WALTER CLARK 1895 PREFACE. Though this work was first published in 1830, it has never before been translated into English. Indeed, the volumes are almost out of print. When in Paris a few years ago the writer secured, with much difficulty, a copy, from which this translation has been made. Notes have been added by the translator, and illustrations by the publishers, which, it is believed, will enhance the interest of the original work by Constant....
Abruptly the delightful somnolence crashed about him. Somewhere outside the sound of tin shrieking across tin slashed into his peace. George Campbell sat up jerkily and reached for his flashlight. Then he laughed and put it down again, straining his eyes through the midnight gloom outside where among the tumbling cans of his supplies a dark anonymous little night beast was prowling. He stretched out a long arm and groped about among the rocks at the tent door for a missile....

I know not where I was born, save that the castle was infinitely old and infinitely horrible; full of dark passages and having high ceilings where the eye could find only cobwebs and shadows. The stones in the crumbling corridors seemed always hideously damp, and there was an accursed smell everywhere, as of the piled-up corpses of dead generations. It was never light, so that I used sometimes to light candles and gaze steadily at them for relief; nor was there any sun outdoors, since the terrible trees grew high above the topmost accessible tower....
THE PHILANDERERS BY A.E.W. MASON Author of ‘The Courtship of Morrice Buckler’ 1897 PROLOGUE Five Englishmen were watching a camp fire in the centre of a forest clearing in mid-Africa. They did not speak, but sat propped against logs, smoking. One of the five knocked out the ashes of his pipe upon the ground; a second, roused by the movement, picked up a fresh billet of wood with a shiver and threw it on to the fire, and the light for a moment flung a steady glow upon faces which were set with anxiety....

THE RED FLOWER POEMS WRITTEN IN WAR TIME BYHENRY VAN DYKED.O.L. (OXON.) 1919 PREFACE These are verses that came to me in this dreadful war time amid the cares and labors of a heavy task. Two of the poems, “A Scrap of Paper” and “Stand Fast,” were written in 1914 and bore the signature Civis Americanus–the use of my own name at the time being impossible. Two others, “Lights Out” and “Remarks about Kings,” were read for me by Robert Underwood Johnson at the meeting of the American Academy in Boston, November, 1915, at which I was unable to be present....
THE RISE OF ISKANDER by Benjamin Disraeli CHAPTER 1 The sun had set behind the mountains, and the rich plain of Athens was suffused with the violet glow of a Grecian eye. A light breeze rose; the olive-groves awoke from their noonday trance, and rustled with returning animation, and the pennons of the Turkish squadron, that lay at anchor in the harbour of Piraeus, twinkled in the lively air. From one gate of the city the women came forth in procession to the fountain; from another, a band of sumptuous horsemen sallied out, and threw their wanton javelins in the invigorating sky, as they galloped over the plain....
