Excerpt from The Scope: December, 1941 Reduction of vision in hysteria may vary from total blindness (simulated blindness) to amblyopia. Both eyes may be affected, or it may be monolateral. The pin-hole disc tends to further reduce vision. It is not uncommon for the patient to recognize motion of an object, but not its form or outline. Moreover, Vision is inconsistently variable at one and the same time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Lens, Vol. 2: December 12, 1904 Taking for granted that you have promised not to tell this to a living soul, I will begin my story. It was a very cold night, the night before Christmas, when I was walking along the coun try road thinking deeply about, - well, I do not know what I was thinking about, - but at any rate I was thinking. Suddenly I heard a noise behind me, as of an approaching company of riders on horseback. I wondered what this could be, but as the sound grew rapidly more distinct, I knew that it could not be horses' feet that I heard for the step was so light, that if my ears had not been very acute, I should never have noticed the sound at all. It struck me that this might be Santa Claus, but then I put the thought away as soon as possible, for I considered that this was absurd.

Excerpt from Harvey and Galen The objects to which Harvey himself desired the lecturer on the foundation to direct his discourse, namely, to commemorate the benefactors of the College, to exhort our Fellows and Members to search out the secrets of Nature by way of experiment, and to continue in mutual love and affection among ourselves, will never grow old. Let us never allow them to be forgotten. The list of benefactors of our College has been enlarged during the past year by one name, of which I must now speak. Captain Edward Wilmot Williams, as the representative of our late venerable Fellow, Dr. Bisset Hawkins, has generously made over to our College the sum of one thousand pounds for the purpose of perpetuating the memory of Dr. Bisset Hawkins in connexion with the College. Nor must I omit to add that it was through the good offices and wise counsel of our friend Dr. Theodore Williams that this valuable benefaction accrued to the College. To him therefore, as well as to the generous donor, our best thanks are and will be always due, and have indeed already received formal expression in a vote of the College. The precise method in which the intentions of the donor are to be carried out is still under consideration. The second Harveian injunction, to study Nature by way of experiment, is, I hope, not forgotten at the present day, and I feel that the breath of a Harveian orator can add little to the great forces which sustain the restless energy of modem science. But I have hoped that by bringing before you the strictly experimental researches of a great man of past times, whose services to science are not always duly acknowledged, I may by his brilliant example add some new force to the noble exhortation of Harvey. The third injunction, to live in harmony among ourselves, needs, I hope, few words. For the harmony of our College is, and promises to continue, so unbroken that we need not emphasize, while we take to heart, the lesson which Harvey's gentle nature desired to teach us.

Excerpt from Howleglas The great rarity of the early English translation of Eulenspiegel has induced me to reprint a few copies of it. But three copies are known to exist, each being of a different impression, and each being more or less imperfect. The copies do not differ in any material respect; the variations being merely in the spelling, and in the correction of misprints. They are all in small quarto and in black letter. Two of the copies are in the British Museum. One, which belongs to the Garrick collection, wants sheet D and the upper right-hand corner of M I. The colophon of this copy is - Imprynted at London in Tames strete at the Vintre on the thre Craned Wharfe by William Copland.

Judy's relationship with Lorraine Lee is once again strained after she receives a mirror as a present at Judy and Lorraine's wedding shower. Lorraine is convinced that Arthur sent the present to Judy so that Judy would know he still cares about her. Judy is certain that Arthur did not send the mirror, but who did? Even stranger is the note that came with the mirror stating " ... which perhaps unwittingly, Birdie's little winglike fingers marked especially for me." A mysterious image of a bird had appeared on the mirror in the Bolton house shortly before it broke. But who put the image on the mirror? Can there be a connection to the young girl named Birdella who lives across the street? Birdella's mother and father are fighting for her custody in court. Judy suspects that there is much more to this case than meets the eye and that some unknown person is the one who sent the mirror as a present.--seriesbooks.info/bolton.html.
After Arthur Farringdon-Pett proposes, Judy asks him to keep their engagement a secret as she is still unsure of her feelings, and the two work together to find Lorraine, who has gone missing while investigating a robbery.
