Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Mother of Emeralds 'It's just throwin' away your dividends, that's what it is, Molly, bringin' me here for the cure, as these medical liars call it. Cure indeed! Is it bein' pickled like a side of bacon that's goin' to cure me, I should like to know? - it's liars they are, me dear, iviry one of them." "Still the pains have left yon, uncle, and your right hand is better," observed the girl on whose arm he leaned. "And small thanks that is to thim; me nerves are strained and pinched like harp-strings, no less; and the divil's own fingers it is that have been playin' upon thim. He's twiddling' at my heart-strings this very moment, bad luck to him!" "Hush, Uncle Tom; you shouldn't speak like that. Remember you are a priest." "I am not. 'Tis your mother's own rheumatic brother I am, livin' on your charity. A priest ! - it's a saint, me dear, I should be called for not swearin' hourly, God forgive me! Ah well; I'm not dead yet, Molly, though it's in Purgatory I am for me sins." "Let us walk down the street, uncle." "Street indeed! - say a ram's horn rather, by the twist of it. If the inhabitants' conduct is no straighter than their houses, it's mighty hard work the good saints must have to keep the fire of Heaven from scorchin' the whole place. Well, well; maybe it's out of good taste for the crooked creatures who come here for the picklin', that they warp their cabins so; "from which it will be seen that Father O'Dwyer, like the majority of his race, could be whimsical when he chose. His niece suppressed a smile and proceeded to assist him over the uneven pavement. Never was there so deformed a town. Its name need not be set down here; no one who has been there will fail to identify it. Father O'Dwyer called it "Tumbledown Towers"; than which it would be difficult to provide a better name. Far and wide the piace is renowned for its brine baths; and to the copious excavations of salt made in connection therewith is due its present distorted appearance. The main street, and indeed most of the other streets, seem fixed as by enchantment in a series of undulations. Houses perch on hillock, or sink in hollow; now leaning cheek by jowl, now shunning one another. Obtusely they withdraw from the pavement, or acutely overhang it, avoiding with astounding unanimity all approach to the vertical. Scarce a window or a door will close as it was originally designed, and the roofs point skywards at every conceivable angle. Even the tower of the parish church lurches forward in drunken fashion, incongruous, bordering well-nigh on the disreputable. The whole place has the appearance of having suffered from a seismic seizure of undoubted severity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Milne provides a comprehensive analysis of conviction outcomes through court transcripts of 14 criminal cases in England and Wales during 2010 to 2019. Drawing on feminist theories of responsibilisation and 'gendered harm', she critically reflects on the gendered nature of criminal justice's responses to suspected infanticide.

"A strong . . . trilogy, invoking just a little Harry Potter and Series of Unfortunate Events along the way."—Realms of Fantasy Siblings Kate, Michael, and Emma have been in one orphanage after another for the last ten years, passed along like lost baggage. Yet these unwanted children are more remarkable than they could possibly imagine. Ripped from their parents as babies, they are being protected from a horrible evil of devastating power, an evil they know nothing about. Until now. Before long, Kate, Michael, and Emma are on a journey through time to dangerous and secret corners of the world . . . a journey of allies and enemies, of magic and mayhem. And—if an ancient prophesy is true—what they do can change history, and it's up to them to set things right. "A new Narnia for the tween set."—The New York Times "[A] fast-paced, fully imagined fantasy."—Publishers Weekly "Echoes of other popular fantasy series, from "Harry Potter" to the "Narnia" books, are easily found, but debut author Stephens has created a new and appealing read . . ."—School Library Journal, Starred Review

Twenty years ago, in England, author Richard Leviton "discovered the planet." Following quite specific guidance, he began a long process that amounted to an apprenticeship. "My mentors dispatched me to various specific locations in the Somerset landscape, and at all hours of the night and day. I sat on hills and valleys and rocks under sunlight, moonlight, rain, snow, and fog, and had visions. I started to see another landscape behind the apparent landscape. It was an apparitional landscape with stars, planets, galaxies, angels, spirits of Nature, mythic deities, divinity." As time went on, he found himself talking with angels, visiting celestial cities, and following gnomes. He came to understand that at one level we are the planet, and that both we and it have an intimate relationship with our galaxy. "I found myself living inside the myths of the world as if they were expert scripts for real-life inner adventures. I never once thought I was crazy. Why should I? Quite the opposite. I believed I was finally getting grounded in something real. But it would take me twenty years to make sense of it. That sense is embodied in The Emerald Modem." The Emerald Modem includes: direct correspondences between human chakras and the Earth's energy features--and the galactic originalstables listing locations of sacred sites around the planet where you may experience this relationshipexplanations of world myths, which provide clues to this unsuspected visionary world around us This is the first book to synthesize all the fragments of geomantic perception (sacred sites, energy points, vertexes, etc.) into a global interactive model that ties human consciousness directly to it. Leviton describes 85 subtle features in the planetary landscape, places you can go for mystical experiences. They are features of the Earth's energy body, almost all invisible to conventional sight. But psychic cognition can be trained, and you can usefully interact with any of these types of sites today without seeing what you're doing. Your intent to interact for the benefit of yourself and the planet is all that's required. Just as modems dial us into the Internet, so the features of the Earth's energy body described in The Emerald Modem help us get online with the galaxy. You can learn to visit Grail Castles, experience a Mount Olympus, or walk through the stars in a landscape zodiac--and you can learn enough to become confident that you're not traveling alone.
