Book Description
Excerpt from Home Pictures I was tying the clematis to the trellis early this morning; the pink buds, shining with dew, looked like red lips pouting to kiss me. I was thinking what a sweet picture we would make Milly standing under neath - the prettiest child in the world, I think - with our gray puss in her arms, her brown hair blown in tangled skeins over her milk-white neck and shoulders. Then skipping over the green grass was my pet lamb, fresh from the wash, and pure as snow. I had reached as far as my arms would allow, and was just consider ing the propriety of mounting the slender wood-work, when Milly screamed. A short, quick cry of alarm it was, and as I turned, the sight I saw almost froze me with horror. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Home Life Made Beautiful: In Story, Song, Sketch and Picture But this has been changed in the progress of history, the Gentle Reader is no longer of one sex or of one occupation. We find the Gentle Reader everywhere, and to him and to her I address this volume on the art of upbuilding and of keeping fair and sweet the pleasant home. For a pleasant home is a necessity to us. And let it be ever so plain or ever so elegant, it is not home unless it ministers to what is best in our nature and gives scope to our energies, a reason for our ambitions, a place for our children to grow in, and a haven for us from the storm and the tempest.

Book Description
Excerpt from Home Life, Around the World This volume was originally prepared for use as a supplementary geographical reader. It was received with so great favor, and made so many warm friends among boys and girls, that it is now offered in a form that is better adapted for the home. It has been revised for this purpose, so far as revision seemed desirable, and a number of new pictures have been added. The pictures in the book have been carefully selected by the well-known traveler and lecturer, Mr. Burton Holmes. They are, for the most part, those that have been taken by him during his travels. The material of which the stories and descriptions are made has been taken freely from the writings of those who have lived in the places referred to or of those who have visited the places in their travels. Acknowledgment is made to Messrs. Frederick A. Stokes & Co. for the use of extracts from Admiral Peary's "The North Pole"; to Mesare. G. P. Putnam's Sons for the use of Swiss poems from Alfred T. Story's "Swiss Life in Town and Country"; to Messrs. Charles Scribner's Sons for the use of extracts from George W. Cable's "Bonaventure"; and to the American Museum of Natural History for furnishing a number of pictures and the four photographs of the relief globe.

Book Description
Excerpt from Pictures of St. Peter in an English Home Harold and Robin Hartley were the adopted sons of the widowed Lady Laurie, and as dear to her heart as was her only daughter Ida. Since the time that the missionary Mr. Hartley's two motherless boys had arrived under the lady's hospitable roof, she had, till this year, rarely been parted from either of them even for a day. Their joys and sorrows were hers; and to train her three children for heaven had been Lady Laurie's dearest object on earth. The year preceding that on which my story opens had been one of strong lights and shadows to the Hartleys. Then had occurred the fearful Mutiny of 1857, to which their only remaining parent had all but fallen a victim, even his death having been (though falsely) reported. To this sorrow had succeeded the great joy of Mr. Hartley's unexpected return to his native country. But the missionary had remained but six months in England to recruit his broken health he was so intensely anxious to return to his little native flock, whom he had been compelled to leave without any earthly shepherd in a time of confusion and danger, that nothing could persuade Mr. Hartley to remain away from the land where he had nearly lost his life. One care had been removed from the missionary's mind before he left. Mr. Hartley's elder son, Harold. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Keith's Magazine on Home Building, 1911, Vol. 25 Before speaking of these beautiful homes, we will pay a passing tribute to the landscape, that like the appropriate frame, Sets off the picture, and no home is complete (in our judgment) without it. These homes, in a certain sense, are ideal, and largely so because they have grounds, and are inclosed with either rugged walls or hedges with posts and gates, and a modest amount of shrubs and vines.
