"An anthology made with a light heart." Includes works by:Sinclair Lewis,Ernest Hemmingway, Don Marquis, Dorothy Parker and many others for no particular reason that I can fathom. The book is obviously made up of reprints, with page numbers suitable only for the particular piece (which obviously came out of some other anthology), and at least three font sizes. Seems like a "freebie" or a Book-of-the-Month-Club book. Cheap paper. Sinclair Lewis's story, "Ring Around A Rosy: A Story" was published for the first time in this volume, according to the story's flyleaf.

The story of the making and ratifying of The Constitution of the United States. The Constitution is such an ingrained part of our everyday lives that sometimes we forget the drama of it's origin. This is the story published in 1948. Illustrations are included of important buildings and several of the forward thinking leaders of our country.

About the Book This title is a Drama title. Drama books mostly analyze the performance of a play in a theater, or contain the entire script of the play. Plays can be divided into a number of genres, including classical and modern, and across cultural lines. Some examples are: Famous Plays: Their Histories and Their Authors, St. Nicholas book of plays & operettas, The Wierd Wanderer of Jutland, The Death of Ivan the Terrible, and The Scarlet Letter. Also in this Book A Family Saga or Family Life novel chronicles the life of a family, or several generations. The story is usually set against the backdrop of history, with the waxing and waning of fortunes and inter-generational issues providing interest. An example is Poor White, by Sherwood Anderson. And in this Book Historical Fiction books set their characters and plot at some time in the past, providing adequate background on the customes and mores of that time to make it seem believable to the reader, whilst not necessarily remaining true to actual historical events in that setting. This genre became quite popular in Europe and North America during the 19th century. Examples include: A Plot and a Peerage, Uncle Moses, Vathek; An Arabian Tale, The Naulahka: A Story of West and East, The Bindweed: A Romantic Novel Concerning the Late Queen of Servia, and Hawk's Nest, or the last of the Cahoonshees.

Carl Van Doren (1885-1950), longtime professor of English at Columbia University was a widely published literary critic and author of such works as The American Novel (1921) and the biography Ben­jamin Franklin (1938), which won the Pulitzer Prize. The following statement first published in the Forum for December 1926 and gath­ered in the anthology Twelve Modern Apostles and Their Creeds (1926) refutes, with simple eloquence, numerous beliefs regarding atheism: that it is merely negative, that it is a bleak view of the world, and that atheists are less moral than believers.

Excerpt from Benjamin Franklin and Jonathan Selections From Their WritingsSignificance may justly be attached to the difference between the social classes from which the two sprang, and perhaps to the difference between their native colonies. Edwards, the senior by three years, was born in 17 03 at East Windsor, Connecticut, a compact and orthodox par ish of the most oak-hearted of all the Puritan states. Franklin, on the other hand, passed his first seventeen years in Boston, exposed to the liberal winds which gen erally blow, much or little, even in provincial Puritan metropolises. Moreover, Franklin came from plain tradesman or artisan stock, which boasted - or rather, did not boast - a versifying scion or two, but which had had no clergymen or magistrates. Edwards had in him the blood of both those professions, and was bred in the strict est paths of orthodoxy and responsibility. While Frank lin was being taken about by his thrifty father to see the various trades that he might discover a partiality for some one of them, Edwards was already in Yale, being confirmed in the clerical disposition which was his birth right and fate.The Autobiography has a classic passage upon Frank lin's youthful reading and writing, and upon the careful pains the boy took to form his prose style. He passed somewhat casually by his father's books Of divinity, and rapidly devoured such Virtuous romance and history as came his way, but at sixteen or so he read Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding, Xenophon's Memo rabilia, Shaftesbury, and Collins. Becoming a free thinker, he studied, as an aid to argument, the Socratic method of humble, though premeditated, inquiry never using, when I advanced anything that may pos sibly be disputed, the words certainly, undoubtedly, or any others that give the air of positiveness to an Opinion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
