Excerpt from Famous Blue-Stockings Such a composition of monkey and demon as at one half of the day appears to be studying all the tricks of the most trifling and contemptible foppery, and in the other is raving and blaspheming at a gaming-table, must be an aggregate of all the follies and all the crimes that a worthless head and a pro fligate heart can collect from all parts of the globe. Mrs Delany and Hannah More inveigh against the high head-dresses and other foolish absurdities. Mrs Barbauld writes: Your waist must be the circumference of two oranges, no more. You must erect a structure on your head, gradually standing to a foot high, exclusive of feathers, and stretching to a penthouse of most horrible projection behind, the breadth from Wing to wing considerably broader than your shoulder, and as many different things in your cap as in Noah's ark.

Excerpt from The Disturbing Element or Chronicles of the Blue-Bell Society There is another objection, namely, that our beach consists of nothing but pebbles, big pebbles and small, varying from the size of a pea to that of a bombshell, all rolling about under the feet of the walker, so that only practice can make perfect in the art of avoiding the getting the ankles and insteps crushed among them. Susan used to come home with her feet black and blue the first year we were here, and though there is a nice smooth walk and carriage-road along the top, where, alone, I can take my walks abroad, it is only half-a-mile long, and storms and spring tides are apt to make such havoc of it that we have to pay heavily to keep it in repair. Moreover, it is only a narrow shelf, deposited, as the learned tell us, by the Boldre, and a very little way out the sea becomes so extremely deep that bathing is very dangerous, except in one tiny cove behind Barbe Head, where an enterprising old woman keeps two machines and a-half. So it was a failure when, some forty or fifty years ago, a bold speculator, the same who began the great reservoir on the moor, added to the original little town half-a-dozen lodging-houses and snows.

Excerpt from The Blue Flag Mrs. Gould had no friends in high quarters to win for her son a position in the navy. She had not even an Old sea captain for an uncle to get her boy a good berth.

Excerpt from Blue Coats and Reds A policeman is only a citizen dressed in blue clothes and brass buttons, with no right or power to arrest without a warrant which all his fellow-citizens do not possess.

Excerpt from On Blue Water It has been well said that the beauty Of De Amicis' travels is that they are more than travels. They are not merely the record Of so many passages a day; they are travellings plus seeings, listenings, feelings, thinkings, talkings, love-makings - all that a warm hearted, imaginative, educated young tourist would engage in; yet they are told without displeasing egotism or tedious detail.

Excerpt from Red Cap and Blue Jacket, Vol. 3 of 3 When Bell reached Manhym House and inquired for Miss Lucinda, she was informed that a lady visitor had called, a certain Miss Gordon; and Bell, knowing that this must be Sibylla, at once made her way to the drawing-room. No sooner had she entered than Sibylla, uttering a joyous exclamation, rose from her seat, folded Bell in her arms, and kissed her on both cheeks, observing, as a lynx eyed maiden will, the purity of Bell's complexion, and the absence of cosmetics. Sibylla had matured into a vol. III.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
