The book was not well received and became the author's least successful and most disliked novel. However, in recent years it has regained popularity as America's first gay novel.

This book was released on 2018-10-22 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Pennsylvania Home Teaching Society and Free Circulating Library for the Blind (Incorporated), 1914 Down through the ages, either in written or printed form, millions Of books upon every conceivable subject have been published for the perusal of the sighted, whilst only an infinitesimal portion of that litera ture has been reproduced and made available for the blind. This to some extent may be accounted for by the fact that only 130 years have elapsed Since embossed Sheets of reading matter were first provided for them, and the cost of making Stereotype plates has prevented a very large produc tion of books. But however apparent may be the limitations of embossed literature, it must be noted to the credit of philanthropists who have been engaged in its production, that for the most part it has been of the highest class and well selected from the works Of the best authors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What stories do we tell about America’s once-great industries at a time when they are fading from the landscape? Pennsylvania in Public Memory attempts to answer that question, exploring the emergence of a heritage culture of industry and its loss through the lens of its most representative industrial state. Based on news coverage, interviews, and more than two hundred heritage sites, this book traces the narrative themes that shape modern public memory of coal, steel, railroading, lumber, oil, and agriculture, and that collectively tell a story about national as well as local identity in a changing social and economic world.
Download or read book Of the Limitation of Actions and of Liens Against Real Estate in Pennsylvania Classic Reprint written by Eli Kirk Price and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Of the Limitation of Actions, and of Liens, Against Real Estate, in Pennsylvania The writer's earnest purpose herein is, and as a legislator has been, that which the Supreme Court has lately de clared to be, the most important duty of the judiciary to make the titles to real estate as certain as possible, so that every prudent and intelligent man may know what his rights are (per Black, J., 27 St. R. 17) and that he may hold his titles and abide in his home in security and peace. This volume will exhibit the proof that the deci sions of our judiciary have, of recent time, been distin guished by the high purpose of making titles to real estate as certain as possible; and if the labors of the writer shall, in any degree, aid in that attainment, it will be the highest satisfaction expected from them. It is believed that the almost daily transactions within this commonwealth, demanding an accurate knowledge of the liens and limitations affecting real estate, amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars; yet no work even enu merates those liens, or defines the limitations of their duration, or of the periods when titles become invulnerable by lapse of time.

Download or read book University of Pennsylvania in Its Relations to the State of Pennsylvania Classic Reprint written by Samuel Whitaker Pennypacker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from University of Pennsylvania in Its Relations to the State of Pennsylvania The settlement of Pennsylvania being due to the unrest of the members of a religious sect whose advanced thought brought them into conflict with existing conditions in Eng land, and the moral and mental breadth of its founder having led him to offer it as a home, not only for those of his own way of thinking, but for all in that island and upon the Continent who had in vain wrestled against intolerance, it was but natural that his province should attract more men of learning than other colonies whose promoters were simply seeking for profit, or were bent upon the enforcement of illiberal policies. Therefore it came about that among the early colonists of Pennsylvania were an unusual number of men of scholarly attainments, some of Whom had been doughty champions upon one side or the other in the po lemical warfare then being everywhere waged, a struggle necessary for, and preparatory to, the establishment of the principle that humanity is capable of governing itself. Penn, the founder of a successful State and a practical legislator whose work has stood the test of time, as well as the most conspicuous figure among the colonizers of America, was a student of Oxford University and a profuse Writer of books of verse, travel, doctrine, and controversy, which made a strong impress upon the thought of his time.

Download or read book Danville Montour County Pennsylvania A Collection of Historical and Biographical Sketches Classic Reprint written by D. H. B. Brower and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Danville, Montour County, Pennsylvania: A Collection of Historical and Biographical Sketches In the list of secular studies history is among the most interesting and the most important. Indeed, there seems to be an almost universal desire to lift the misty veil of the past, and to note the changing scenes that mark the progress of Adams family through all the centuries past and gone. Not alone to satisfy the cravings of a curiosity that is commendable, but because the richest lessons of wisdom are drawn from the experience of the past. Still more interesting and important is the general, and, especially, the biographical history of our own locality. Here, with emotions of strange delight we trace the stern, heroic lives of the pioneers, and with ever-increasing interest watch the growing fields succeed the forest, pleasant homes supplant the rude log cabin, and the development of society as it joins the onward march to a higher civilization. On the other hand, there is a desire no less universal to be remembered by those who come after us. Thus prompted, men have sought out the most enduring material by which to transmit their names and achievements down the ages. They have reared monuments of granite, carved their deeds on the solid marble, and written their names on the everlasting rocks. But all those have yielded to the corroding power of Time, and their moldering remnants become the subjects of uncertain speculation to the antiquarian. Written history is the great conservator of the past and the most enduring memorial for the ages to come. The wondrous tower on the plains of Shinar is leveled with the dust from which it rose, and the glory of Babylon is shrouded in darkness.

Book excerpt: "Imre is one of the first openly gay American novels with a happy ending. Described by the author as "a little psychological romance," the narrative follows two men who meet by chance in a cafe in Budapest, where they forge a friendship that leads to a series of mutual revelations and gradual disclosures. With its sympathetic characterizations of homosexual men, Imre's 1906 publication marked a turning point in literature in English."

Download or read book Secrets of Happy Home Life written by J. R. Miller and published by . This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Home is among the holiest of words. A true home is one of the most sacred of places. It is a sanctuary into which men flee from the world's perils and alarms. It is a resting-place to which at close of day the weary retire to gather new strength for the battle and toils of tomorrow. It is the place where love learns its lessons, where life is schooled into discipline and strength, where character is molded. Out of the homes of a community comes the life of the community, as a river from the thousand springs that gush out on the hillsides." "This little book may come into the hands of some whose home happiness has been shattered - its torn fragments lying now on the ground. It would be a comfort to the author if these simple words should put fresh hope into a discouraged heart, and thus be the hand to help restore the home to its true place, amid the branches of the tree of love." James Russell Miller was a popular Christian author, Editorial Superintendent of the Presbyterian Board of Publication, and pastor of several churches in Pennsylvania and Illinois. He was the General field Agent for the United States Christian Commission, an organization established by the Young Men's Christian Association after the First Battle of Bull Run. Miller authored nearly 100 books and articles.
