Statementswhich were true then are not necessarily true now. Thus, the speedof the trotting horse has been so much developed that the record ofthe year when the fastest time to that date was given must be veryconsiderably altered, as may be seen by referring to a note on page...
The History of Caliph Vathekby William BeckfordINTRODUCTIONWilliam Beckford, born in 1759, the year before the accession of King George the Third, was the son of an Alderman who became twice Lord Mayor of London.

Not that Iam in the least conventional in that respect myself....

Alexandria and her Schoolsby Charles KingsleyPREFACEI should not have presumed to choose for any lectures of mine such a subject as that which I have tried to treat in this book. The subject was chosen by the Institution where the lectures were delivered. Still less should I have presumed to print them of my own accord, knowing how fragmentary and crude they are. They were printed at the special request of my audience. Least of all, perhaps, ought I to have presumed to publish them, as I ha
话说宋江大军灭了江南方腊,普天同庆之时,燕青在一个月圆之夜,弃加官进爵之锦绣前程于不顾,在杭州不辞而别,漫漫黑夜里一个人遁去了。次日清晨,大军准备班师回朝,去东京受天子册封。燕青手下军士慌慌张张跑来,告知宋公明,燕青头领昨夜在军中留下一无皮书信,上面只写了“告辞”二字。说毕将书信呈给了宋江。宋江大惑不解,闷闷不乐去找卢俊义问个究竟。燕青从小跟着卢俊义,卢俊义不会不知道个中缘由。卢俊义听得说,欲言又止,被宋江一再催问,终于如实相告道:“燕小乙昨夜三更天来了一趟,说是被一怪梦惊醒,梦很荒诞,道是我卢俊义来年八月份将有血光之灾,劝我和他纳还原受官诰,此去隐姓埋名,寻个僻静之处,以终天年。我卢俊义为人堂堂正正,不信鬼神,一心要报效朝廷,自是没听他的。他见劝不动我,就说不给你公明哥哥告别了,怕你重情义不肯放他,月夜里走了。临走丢下句话来,说明年七八月份他燕小乙必来保我于左...
