DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Twelve States and a Kingdom Every possible want had been anticipated. The last few days of our home stay began to pass heavily for our work was finished. The feminine portion of the cargo was ready to be shipped. Can I ever forget my feelings of almost childish delight when my ticket was given me, that elongated talisman that was to be my guide from VV to New York City and return which were the magical wcrds engraved thereon. The various important places we were to touch were arranged like so many coupons measuring a half yard in length, and our imagination clothed them with an interest rightfully their due. I entrusted this treasure (the loss of which would render me undone) to the most secret corner of my purse and breathed a prayer that some innate necromancy might surround it and avert my sudden ejection from the cars at some lone spot for whrch my inclinations were not bound. The ap pointed time ch'ew near. Was there ever such happiness that the shadow of a doubt did not cloud? There was yet the parting from one I held most dear ere I could launch myself on this sea of prospective happiness. One sigh from the bosom I loved best to rest upon, effectually vanquished my carefully constructed air castles and I realized truly that home was the dearest spot on earth to me. I gazed upon my ticket as a fatality, and danger. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKClassic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA remarkable history of the two-centuries-old relationship between the United States and China, from the Revolutionary War to the present day From the clipper ships that ventured to Canton hauling cargos of American ginseng to swap Chinese tea, to the US warships facing off against China's growing navy in the South China Sea, from the Yankee missionaries who brought Christianity and education to China, to the Chinese who built the American West, the United States and China have always been dramatically intertwined. For more than two centuries, American and Chinese statesmen, merchants, missionaries, and adventurers, men and women, have profoundly influenced the fate of these nations. While we tend to think of America's ties with China as starting in 1972 with the visit of President Richard Nixon to China, the patterns—rapturous enchantment followed by angry disillusionment—were set in motion hundreds of years earlier. Drawing on personal letters, diaries, memoirs, government documents, and contemporary news reports, John Pomfret reconstructs the surprising, tragic, and marvelous ways Americans and Chinese have engaged with one another through the centuries. A fascinating and thrilling account, The Beautiful Country and the Middle Kingdom is also an indispensable book for understanding the most important—and often the most perplexing—relationship between any two countries in the world.
