Excerpt from Women's Tragedies Jonathan Tregoning; an' there's few things a man could want that you do lack. An' yet 'tis strange to hear 'cc singing foolish songs like that, an' with that look upon your face. Now, where and how didst chance upon the gift of happiness? 'tis a new thing in thee, with all thy wonderful good fortune.' It was an aged workman who spoke. Jona than looked gravely into his eyes for a moment. Then he laughed in the gladness of his heart.

It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1895 edition. Excerpt: ... THE LAST PAGAN It was long since the grey priests, voyaging from overseas, had landed in the country. The story of their coming had already become an old, dark tale, and men shuddered for the wickedness of dimly-realised forefathers, who had slain many of the strangers by the altars of the gods they strove to dispossess. Now those gods were dethroned, and their names almost passed out of memory. The altars were cold. The priests, already regarding themselves as members of an order long established in the land, had seized upon the holy places and proclaimed themselves the interpreters of their mysteries: so that if water healed, or a sick child recovered strength when it had been passed at sunrise through the holed stone, the people no longer gave thanks to the old gods, who had been wont to confer their mercies by these means throughout all the centuries which had been before the coming of the priests from overseas. Even the senseless dead might no longer get the purification of flame. There was need that their miserable bodies should be kept whole, and so they were laid in graves digged in the earth, where the unclean worm might prey on them; and the grey priests muttered prayers above, and sprinkled water themselves had sanctified by virtue of their words. For they had waxed strong in the land, taking toll of all who visited the holy places which had been holy long before their coming; and the people dared not speak of the faith which their fathers had held. But there was one man whom the priests had ever hated; for he had made a mock of their teaching, saying he would still worship the gods who revealed themselves in moon and sun, in the green of leaves and grass, and in the abiding silences of hills and moorland. All his life long...

Excerpt from Old Madame Other Tragedies Miss Barbara! Barbara, honey! Where's this you're hiding at?" cried old Phillis, tying her bandana headgear in a more flamboyant knot over her gray hair and brown face. "Where's this you're hiding at? The Old Madame's after you." And in answer to the summons, a girl clad in homespun, but with every line of her figure the lines, one might fancy, of a wood-and-water nymph's, came slowly up from the shore and the fishing-smacks, with a young fisherman beside her.

Excerpt from The Tragedies of Maddalen, Agamemnon, Lady Macbeth, Antonia Clytemnestra For presuming to meddle with the awful mys teries of macbeth, I have not one word to offer in extenuation. I thought the almost satanic character of the Lady, possessed traits of grandeur which might be so represented as to excite com passion; and the frame of Macbeth's mind afforded me an opportunity of introducing allusions to Scottish superstitions which Shakespear has not touched; and which are still, in a great measure, new to the poetry of the stage. The play is, in fact, an experiment; and as such, I wrote it with some degree of audacity both in thought and phraseology.
