Pages : 370
Book Description
Excerpt from The Courtships of Catherine the Great In a volume published nine years ago on Catherine II. of Russia and her attitude towards the French Revolution, the French writer, M. C. de Lariviere, classes Frederick of Prussia, Maria Theresa, and Catherine the Great with "King Voltaire" as the real masters of the Eighteenth Century. There is a justice in this verdict which makes it no matter for surprise that, while interest is still taken in what Mr Havelock Ellis calls "the most human century," books should continue to be written about any of the four. And of them all certainly Catherine is the most fascinating character. French writers may claim to have done their duty by her nobly, but, strange to say, she has been much neglected in England. The following book is only an attempt to look at some of the aspects of Catherine, with no thought of competing with the great pioneering work which has been done elsewhere, notably by M. Waliszewski. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
First in The Calhoun Women series, #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts’s Courting Catherine begins a story of sisters bound by their family’s ancestral home and determined to forge their own futures. The once grand mansion known as the Towers has stood on the Maine coast for decades. It was supposed to symbolize the Calhoun family legacy, but instead has fallen into a desperate state of disrepair. Catherine “C. C.” Calhoun and her sisters have inherited both the mansion and the responsibility of restoring the Towers back to its former glory—only to struggle with escalating costs. Hotelier Trenton St. James believes the estate’s time has passed and that the town would be served better if the property were converted into a luxury resort. But his business negotiation skills fail to persuade C. C.—whose fighting spirit and driving passions capture his heart and compel him to build something more loving and lasting between them.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of William Wordsworth, Vol. 1 No reader of this Life of Wordsworth can regret, so much as the author does, -the long delay that has md in its publication. Although the? First of the three volumes hasbeenprinted for more thanayear, the issue of the work has been postponed from causes too numerous to mention. When the edition of the Works of Wordsworth - to which this Life was to be an appendix - was projected, eight years ago, the first idea was that a single volume would suffice, both for a Biography of the poet, and for a criticalessayuponhim. Assoou as the work of research began, however, so much new material accumulated from many sources, that it was judged expedient, not only to extend the Biography from one volume to two, and ultimately to three, but to ex clude the critical Essay, reserving it for a future occasion, and a difl'erent purpose.
