An elite, rich, and spunky older lady rents a country house for the summer along with her skittish Irish maid and her niece. Some servants sort of come with the property but most soon abandon their new matron due to happenings within this large mansion. A converging plot concerns the homeowner (a banker) who has recently died and whose bank has just coincidentally failed -- the suspicion falls upon a youthful bank clerk who is the heart-throb of the old lady's niece. The central plot revolves around a mysterious and effective murder/burglar dubbed by the frustrated police as The Bat and who has been operating in the vicinity of this country home. The subsequent happenings in the house are almost slapstick in nature, in the old lady's efforts in solving the mystery of both the infamous Bat's activities and the bank embezzlement.

The Donner Party was a group of California-bound American settlers caught up in the 'westering fever' of the 1840s. After becoming snowbound in the Sierra Nevada in the winter of 1846-1847, some of the emigrants resorted to cannibalism. Although this aspect of the tragedy has become synonymous with the Donner Party in the popular imagination, it actually was a minor part of the episode. The author was about 4 at the time. The first part of the book accounts the tragic journey and rescue attempts; the last half are reminiscences of the child orphan, passed from family to family while growing up Chapters: 00:00:00 - 00 - Preface 00:06:36 - 01 - Chapter I 00:22:42 - 02 - Chapter II 00:39:39 - 03 - Chapter III 00:55:51 - 04 - Chapter IV 01:10:53 - 05 - Chapter V 01:35:14 - 06 - Chapter VI 01:53:02 - 07 - Chapter VII 01:58:52 - 08 - Chapter VIII 02:13:48 - 09 - Chapter IX 02:39:35 - 10 - Chapter X 02:53:56 - 11 - Chapter XI 03:00:03 - 12 - Chapter XII 03:07:59 - 13 - Chapter XIII 03:16:13 - 14 - Chapter XIV 03:28:36 - 15 - Chapter XV 03:43:33 - 16 - Chapter XVI 03:52:40 - 17 - Chapter XVII 04:07:00 - 18 - Chapter XVIII 04:20:43 - 19 - Chapter XIX 04:35:29 - 20 - Chapter XX 05:00:30 - 21 - Chapter XXI 05:18:27 - 22 - Chapter XXII 05:30:40 - 23 - Chapter XXIII 05:52:02 - 24 - Chapter XXIV 06:10:18 - 25 - Chapter XXV 06:19:56 - 26 - Chapter XXVI 06:35:02 - 27 - Chapter XXVII 06:48:51 - 28 - Chapter XXVIII 06:55:30 - 29 - Chapter XXIX 07:09:01 - 30 - Chapter XXX 07:16:08 - 31 - Chapter XXXI 07:37:11 - 32 - Chapter XXXII 07:48:47 - 33 - Chapter XXXIII 08:01:12 - 34 - Chapter XXXIV 08:15:39 - 35 - Chapter XXXV 08:35:03 - 36 - Chapter XXXVI 08:42:25 - 37 - Chapter XXXVII 08:46:15 - 38 - Chapter XXXVIII 09:00:20 - 39 - Appendix I 09:20:35 - 40 - Appendix II 09:33:42 - 41 - Appendix III 09:50:07 - 42 - Appendix IV Follow us on Twitter! https://twitter.com/AudiobookH Free 30-day Audible trial: https://amzn.to/441fKHF Play to Earn Crypto: https://rollercoin.com/?r=l07feaxy

Andrew Lang's Fairy Books or Andrew Lang's "Coloured" Fairy Books are a twelve-book series of fairy tale collections. Although Andrew Lang did not collect the stories himself from the oral tradition, the extent of his sources (who had collected them originally), made them an immensely influential collection, especially as he used foreign-language sources, giving many of these tales their first appearance in English. As acknowledged in the prefaces, although Lang himself made most of the selections, his wife and other translators did a large portion of the translating and telling of the actual stories.

Science fiction is a genre encompassing imaginative works that take place in this world or that of the author's creation where anything is possible. The only rules are those set forth by the author. The speculative nature of the genre inspires thought, and plants seeds that have led to advances in science. The genre can spark an interest in science and is cited as the impetus for the career choice of many scientists. It is a playing field to explore social perspectives, and predictions of the future, and engage in adventures unbound into the richness of the human mind.

“The Author of the following work has endeavored to give a faithful record of … the Exiles of Florida. Torn from their native land, their friends, and homes, they were sold in the markets of Carolina and Georgia. Feeling the hand of oppression bearing heavily upon them, they fled to Florida, and, under Spanish laws, became free. … At a time of profound peace, our army, acting under the direction of the Executive, invaded Florida, murdered many of these free men, brought others to the United States, and consigned them to slavery. An expensive and bloody war followed …During its protracted continuance of seven years, bribery and treachery were practiced towards the Exiles and their allies, the Seminole Indians; flags of truce were violated; the pledged faith of the nation was disregarded. By these means the removal of the Exiles from Florida was effected. After they had settled in the Western Country, most of these iniquities were repeated, until they were driven from our nation and compelled to seek asylum in Mexico.” CHAPTER - Introduction - Chapter 1 - Circumstances Attending the Early History of Slavery in the Colonies - Chapter 2 - Further Efforts to Restore Exiles - Chapter 3 - Hostilities Maintained by Georgia - Chapter 4 - General Hostilities - Chapter 5 - Further Efforts of the Government to Restore Exiles to Servitude - Chapter 6 - Further Efforts to Enslave the Exiles - Chapter 7 - Commencement of the Second Seminole War - Chapter 8 - Hostilities Continued - Chapter 9 - Hostilities Continued - Chapter 10 - The War Continued, Peace Declared, General Jessup Assumes Command of the Army - Chapter 11 - General Jessup Overthrows His Own Efforts in Favor of Peace - Chapter 12 - The Renewal and Prosecution of the War - Chapter 13 - Vigorous Prosecution of the War - Chapter 14 - Great Difficulties Interrupt the Progress of the War - Chapter 15 - Difficulties in Enslaving Exiles Continued - Chapter 16 - Further Difficulties in the Work of Enslaving the Exiles - Chapter 17 - Total Failure of All Efforts to Enslave the Exiles - Chapter 18 - Further Difficulties in Prosecuting the War - Chapter 19 - Hostilities Continued - Chapter 20 - Hostilities Continued - Chapter 21 - Close of the War - Chapter 22 - History of Exiles Continued - Chapter 23 - The Reunion and Final Exodus Follow us on Twitter! https://twitter.com/AudiobookH Free 30-day Audible trial: https://amzn.to/441fKHF Play to Earn Crypto: https://rollercoin.com/?r=l07feaxy

The Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals, also known as The Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals or Foundations of the Metaphysics of Morals or Grounding of the Metaphysics of Morals, is Immanuel Kant's first contribution to moral philosophy. It argues for an a priori basis for morality. Where the Critique of Pure Reason laid out Kant's metaphysical and epistemological ideas, this relatively short, primarily meta-ethical, work was intended to outline and define the concepts and arguments shaping his future work The Metaphysics of Morals. However, the latter work is much less readable than the Fundamental Principles.

Charles Lamb wrote this small book in 1808 to tell the tale of Homer's Odyssey to children. It is a wonderfully well-written and accurate account of the story of Ulysses, and modern readers will be surprised at the sentence structure that the early nineteenth century felt was suitable for children. Today it is a good introduction to the verse version for adults as well as children. The year before Lamb wrote this book, he and his sister Mary wrote Tales from Shakespeare in 1807. This is a collection of short-story versions of Shakespeare's plays with some of the dialogue directly from the play. Before World War II, many, many children read Lamb, Bulfinch's Mythology, and Charles Dickens before leaving high school. To read Lamb is a pleasure at any age, and his work provides a marvelously literate transition to the original versions by Homer and Shakespeare. Lamb had a justifiably good reputation as an essayist in the nineteenth century. His essays are genial, humane, and extraordinarily observant.

Many of these stories were passed down through the generations, largely unchanged. "The stories made by the people, and told before evening fires, or in public places and at the gates of inns in the Orient, belong to the ages when books were few and knowledge limited, or to people whose fancy was not hampered by familiarity with or care for facts; they are the creations, as they were the amusement, of men and women who were children in knowledge, but were thinking deeply and often wisely of what life meant to them, and were eager to know and hear more about themselves, their fellows, and the world. In the earlier folk stories, one finds a childlike simplicity and readiness to believe in the marvelous, and these qualities are found also in the French peasant's version of the career of Napoleon.

At the end of the thirteenth century, the oppressed people of Scotland rebelled against their despised English ruler, Edward Longshanks. In Freedom's Cause recounts the Scots' desperate but ultimately triumphant struggle in the face of overwhelming odds - a hard-fought series of battles conducted under the leadership of William Wallace and Robert Bruce. Time has burnished the feats of these great heroes to mythic proportions, but Wallace and Bruce were real people. This gripping tale of courage, loyalty, and ingenuity recounts their deeds within an accurate historical context. Readers join their company alongside a fictional protagonist, young Archie Forbes, whose estates have been wrongfully confiscated. Archie forms a group of scouts to fight alongside the legendary Scottish chieftains (who were memorably portrayed in the film Braveheart) for their country's independence.
