Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The King's English The especial thanks of the compilers are Offered to Dr. Bradley, joint editor Of the Oxford Englis/t Dictionary, who has been good enough to inspect the proof sheets, and whose many valuable suggestions have led to the removal of some too unqualified statements, some confused exposition, and some positive mistakes. It is due to him, however, to say that his warnings have now and then been disregarded, when it seemed that brevity or some other advantage could be secured without great risk Of misunderstanding.

Download or read book The Spelling of the King s English Classic Reprint written by John Clarke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-04 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spelling of the King's English The author of a work of this kind may expect, and ought to welcome, criticism. In return he may claim that his proposals be mastered before being judged, and that, in any exception taken to them, the appeal shall be to reason and not to prejudice. An adequate solution of the class room problem of reading is still wanting. The matter is confessedly urgent, and the key to the learner's difficulties, if not found in one direction, must be sought in another. This little book is primarily a response to the call of the school; for the justification of a fresh attempt at reform, on lines more or less new, is to be found in the claims of education. At the same'time, there seems ground of hope, that what is an aid to learners at home may be no less helpful to learners abroad. If made the basis of a wider reform of English spelling, pro posals of the kind would have to be submitted to a Commission representative of the English speaking peeples, for which, on other grounds, the time is now ripe.

Download or read book Shakespeare s Stories of the English Kings Classic Reprint written by Thomas Carter and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Stories of the English Kings It is inevitable, in retelling the stories of Shakespeare's English Kings, that we should recall the names of Charles and Mary Lamb. These gifted authors are associated immortally with Shakespeare, and their Tales must remain a classic for youthful readers, to whom a simple prose rendering is of great value as an introduction to the genius of our greatest poet. The Histories, however, were not included in the Tales, hence there is opportunity for an endeavour to provide a prose version of this attractive section of the great plays. Beginning with the period before the Roman invader came to our shores, and passing through the times of Plantagenet and Tudor to the opening days of Elizabeth, Shakespeare has presented in his wonderful series an almost complete view of the great figures of English history, indicating with a sure touch the movements, crises, and turning-points of our national development. The canvas is a crowded one, but there is no superfluous figure, and from the king to the peasant he holds the mirror of genius up to Nature and reflects life. The inner significance has been well indicated by Walter Pater. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Circle of Wives written by Alice LaPlante and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times–bestselling author of Half Moon Bay. “Marriage is as mysterious as murder in LaPlante’s captivating psychological thriller” (People). An Indie Next Pick A LibraryReads Selection An Amazon Best Book of the Month (Mysteries & Thrillers) A Daily Candy Best Book of March One of More magazine’s “Five Thrillers Not to Read After Dark” When Dr. John Taylor turns up dead in a hotel room, the local police uncover enough incriminating evidence to suspect foul play. Det. Samantha Adams, whose Palo Alto beat usually covers petty crimes, is innocently thrown into a high-profile case that is more complicated than any she has faced before. A renowned reconstructive surgeon and a respected family man, Dr. Taylor was beloved and admired. But beneath his perfect façade was a hidden life—in fact, multiple lives. Dr. Taylor was married to three very different women in three separate cities. As the circumstances surrounding his death emerge, Detective Adams finds herself tracking down a murderer through a tangled web of marital deception and revenge. New York Times–bestselling author Alice LaPlante’s haunting and complex novel of family secrets dissects—with scalpel-like agility—the intricacies of desire and commitment, trust and jealousy. “Exhilarating and smart, A Circle of Wive is a wild ride of love, loss, marriage and murder, with a finale that’s provocative, thrilling and grand. It all shows that while some deaths are a mystery, so, too, are some loves.” —San Francisco Chronicle

Download or read book King Kong written by Edgar Wallace and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original novelization of King Kong, featuring a new introduction by Jack Thorne, the Tony-winning playwright of King Kong: Alive on Broadway, and cover art by the celebrated Olly Moss The giant primeval gorilla King Kong is one of the most recognized images in our culture. So great is the mighty Kong’s hold on the popular imagination that his story has inspired an entire cinematic universe. Now the legendary monster comes to the stage in the brand-new musical King Kong: Alive on Broadway. Beneath King Kong’s cultural significance, however, is a tense and surprisingly tender story. One cannot help but be frightened by Kong’s uncontrollable fury, be saddened over the giant’s capture, mistreatment, and exploitation by venal showmen, or sympathize with the beast’s ill-fated affection for the down-on-her-luck starlet Ann Darrow. With a foreword by Mark Cotta Vaz, the preeminent biographer of Merian C. Cooper, producer of the original 1933 classic film.
