Here dwelt, sixty years ago and more, one Delphine Carraze; or, as she was commonly designated by the few who knew her, Madame Delphine. That she owned her home, and that it had been given her by the then deceased companion of her days of beauty, were facts so generally admitted as to be, even as far back as that sixty years ago, no longer a subject of gossip. She was never pointed out by the denizens of the quarter as a character, nor her house as a "feature."

England's 1915 novel of socialist revolution in America. "I hope for a peaceful and bloodless revolution. But if that be impossible, then by all means let us have revolution in its other sense. And with the hope that this book may perhaps revive some fainting spirit or renew the vision of emancipation in some soul where it has dimmed, I give "The Air Trust" to the workers of America and of the world." -- George Allan England

Originally published in 1913, "The Afterglow" is part of England's most famous work, the "Darkness and Dawn" series.

"New Grub Street" is George Gissing''s 1891 novel set in the writing circles of London in the 1880s. A place that became synonymous with the writing of hack literature, Grub Street is a street in London, England and represents the setting of the novel. It is here that talented and cerebral novelist Edwin Reardon and the semi-scrupulous Jasper Milvain attempt to pursue success, love, and-often above all else-money. As a realistic picture of the literary life in late Victorian England, New Grub Street has few rivals. This classic tale of money versus morals is considered Gissing''s masterpiece and would make for a fantastic addition to any bookshelf. Contents include: "A Man of his Day", "The House of Yule", "Holiday", "An Author and his Wife", "The Way Hither", "Practical Friend", "Marian''s Home", "To The Winning Side", "Invita Minerva", "The Friends of the Family", "Respite" "Work Without Hope", "A Warning", "Recruits", etc. George Robert Gissing (1857-1903) was a British novelist. From 1880 to 1903, he published 23 novels, and also worked as a teacher and tutor during his life. Other notable works by this author include: "The Nether World" (1889) and "The Odd Women" (1893).

George Eliot was the literary pseudonym of British author Mary Anne Evans, born in 1819 in Warwickshire and destined to be one of the most celebrated and notorious of British female writers. Many of her novels deal with happy memories of her Warwickshire childhood, including her first great novel, The Mill on the Floss, and Silas Marner. For their depiction of childhood experiences and illustrations of children learning about moral themes, George Eliot's works have been taught as classic literature since their initial publication. Silas Marner is regarded by many as one of Eliot's best books, second only to her masterpiece, Middlemarch. The story of the miser and title character of Silas Marner and his redemption from greed and misery by the love of a small child, is one of the classics of English literature.

In the beginning on the sixth day God created man and said "bear rule over the animals, birds of the air and fishes of the sea". This book deals with man's GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO HUNT. It was the mastering of this activity that enabled man to first survive and then achieve the good life we now enjoy. ALL MEN ARE HUNTERS-going forth and bringing food to the table is a basic urge and can not be denied. Modem man seems to be confused and ashamed of acknowledging this basic need. He passes foolish anti gun laws, no hunting allowed laws and even tries to change the word hunting prefers to call it gunning. Sensible people should acknowledge and be 'proud of the role successful hunting played in bringing man to this high point of achievement. It's this basic hunting instinct that makes a man:1. Hunt for a job. (to bring food to the table.) 2. Hunt for a degree.(preparation for a job) 3. Hunt for a mate. Hunting permeates all stages of man's development. As a child he plays hide and seek. This game is really preparation for the real act of adult life (hunting). As he gets older he engages in games like scavenger hunt which mimic real hunting. Hunting something successfully prepares him for the adult life. This book will try to clear up some of the confusion that exists when ever hunting is discussed. When a group of five city folk are asked do you like to hunt? Three will say never, don't like it, and will never touch a gun. And that guns should be outlawed. These people don't even know that there are all sorts of hunting. People hunt with a camera, bow and arrow, bird watch with binoculars, hunt for wild mushrooms, wild berries, ginseng, herbs etc. The same people don't realize that they are hunting when they attend an auction or checking the stock market for a bargain. One out of the five people will say no I don't like to hunt, but I like to fish.( He doesn't know that he is really hunting.) Fishing is hunting; it's really bringing food to the table. The prey is different because it resides in the water and the equipment used is a different. The last one out of the five will probably say I hunt. When he is asked why he will begin reasons why he hunts. This book covers seven of the most often given excuses for going hunting. Basically this has been a man activity for about a million years. BUT NOW---a new and better hunter is on the scene. 1. She is stronger (women out live men) 2. She is richer(women control 85% of the country's wealth 3. She is better educated (60% of college students are now female and come out with better grades) 4. She has more political clout (Can out vote men soon as she becomes aware of her political power.
