With ten + Illustrations by Percy Tarrant. 6/ + + Girls of all ages are sure to be fascinated by the pathetic and + highly interesting narrative of Nan Esterleigh, the orphan girl + who makes her home with a friend of her mother's, where she has + abundance of nice pets, good companions, and an atmosphere of + wholesome comfort, and where she is quite happy until an act of + deceit puts her in the power of an older and designing girl, and + renders her at times very miserable. This wrong-doing is the + shadow over her life, as she finds when Captain Richmond starts + the Royal True Blue society, with its prize to be given for the + best girl who had cultivated every side of her nature--moral, + intellectual, and physical. She is seriously handicapped, and + the prize falls, through an error, to the designing girl who has + ruined her happiness. Misfortune brings this maiden to a better + mind and true repentance, and Nan comes to her own again in the + esteem and respect of every one. There are many other attractive + girl characters in this entertaining story. + + [Illustration: _From_ A NEST OF GIRLS. 6/] + + A NEST OF GIRLS; or, Boarding School Days. By E. WESTYN TIMLOW. With + eight Illustrations by H. R. Richards. 6/ + + Here we are introduced to a bevy of smart, clever, American + girls in a boarding-school, just at the time that Winifred + Douglas becomes teacher of English Literature there. Winifred + was wise, if only four-and-twenty, and the love she felt for her + work was only equalled by the sense of responsibility she had + for the impressionable girls under her charge. How she helped + and influenced them for good, although she 'hurt sometimes,' + comes out in the story, which is brimful of life and vivacity. + The lady principal and the doings of a circle of immensely smart + girls keep up the interest of this wholesome picture of + girl-life. + + SEVEN MAIDS.

With eight Illustrations by W. + Rainey. 5/ + + All spirited maidens will follow with interest the training and + development of the character of Evelyn Wynford, heiress of + Castle Wynford, who, when she arrives from Tasmania at her + uncle's house, which will afterwards be her own, is extremely + self-conscious though clever, and is wilful, selfish, vain, and + altogether unladylike. Her maid Jasper is her evil genius. As + the story develops, her aunt, her cousin, and others begin to + have a wholesome influence over her; then certain misdemeanours, + which land her in serious trouble, humble her, and leave her + much changed and truly repentant. The 'Naughty Girl' becomes + transformed into a wise and comely young woman. + + COURAGE AND CONFLICT. A Series of Stories by G. A. HENTY, G. + MANVILLE FENN, F. T. BULLEN, FRED WHISHAW, &c. With eight + Illustrations by W. Boucher. 5/ + + The names of the writers here are a guarantee for the sound + entertainment provided in this companion volume to _Dash and + Daring_, _Peril and Prowess_, and _Venture and Valour_. The + story by Mr G. A. Henty is one of pioneering in the days of the + early settlers in America, when the natives were troublesome, + and who in this case rose up and nearly exterminated the white + people. Mr G. M. Fenn tells a funny seaside story; while Andrew + Balfour, Captain North, Walter Thornbury, James Patey, Fred + Whishaw, Harold Bindloss, and others contribute dashing stories + of peril and adventure, and great heroism in the hour of danger. + + [_From_ GIRLS OF THE TRUE BLUE, _by L.

MANVILLE FENN. + With eight Illustrations by W. Boucher. 5/ + + Mr Fenn transports his readers to the South African veldt, + where, in imagination and in reality, so many of his countrymen + have been for the past two years, and helps them to understand + by means of this brisk and exciting tale what so many of our + gallant soldiers have had to endure. This new story mainly + follows the fortunes of two young men in khaki--Drew Lennox and + Bob Dickenson--in and around the village of Groenfontein, which + is bravely held by a little British force against the Boers. + Sometimes half-starved, and subjected to night and day attacks, + they make a little Gibraltar of the place, and ever render a + good account of themselves. Something is always happening within + or without Groenfontein, and in the end the story leaves Drew + Lennox captain and V.C. + + MISS NONENTITY. By L. T. MEADE. With eight Illustrations by W. + Rainey. 5/ + + _Punch_ says--'My Baronitess informs me that she has not the + slightest hesitation in advising everybody young enough to enjoy + the story to make the acquaintance of _Miss Nonentity_, by L. T. + Meade. She will be found a very delightful person, who proves + herself to be a "Miss Somebody," and of considerable importance, + too.' + + CHARGE! OR BRITON AND BOER. By GEORGE MANVILLE FENN.

With six + Illustrations by Jessie Wilson. By MAY BALDWIN. 3/6 + + A bright and naturally told story of school-girl life in + Germany, in which the contrasts with school life in this country + are strongly brought out. The heroine, a good-looking, clever + English girl, in a high-class school in Munich, meets with a + smart American girl who sins against many of the written and + unwritten laws of etiquette by her pranks and the freedom of + her manners and speech; yet all the while she is exceedingly + liberal, good-hearted, and well-intentioned, and a good friend + of the heroine, whom she shields from blame in connection with + an act which led to disastrous consequences. The lady principal, + Fräulein Luise, one of the best of women, cautions the heroine + about her over-anxiety to be the best girl scholar; in spite of + this she works openly and secretly for this end, which is gained + at the expense, for a time, of her health and memory. It is + while the heroine is at death's door that she learns a lifelong + lesson that goodness is by far of more importance than + cleverness. + + COSEY CORNER; or, How they Kept a Farm. By L. T. MEADE. With eighteen + Illustrations by Percy Tarrant. 3/6 + + Mrs L. T. Meade, in her best vein, here tells how four children + show great ingenuity and cleverness in playing at keeping a + farm, and manage to support themselves for a time from the + proceeds. It is a wholesome lesson in self-help, and the reader + will be inclined to agree with one of the children that 'there + never was anything so nice in all the world as was life at Cosey + Corner.' Honeysuckle Farm, the farmer and his wife, and the life + there are prettily described, and the story is further helped by + the eighteen charming illustrations by Mr Percy Tarrant. + + 'MY PRETTY' AND HER BROTHER 'TOO.' And other Stories. By Mrs + MOLESWORTH. Charmingly Illustrated by Lewis Baumer. 3/6 + + Mrs Molesworth, always happily inspired when she writes for or + about children, here presents ten short stories, in which little + children are depicted in her inimitable style. Some of them have + a Christmas flavour; all convey in an attractive form some + lessons which young folks, and old folks too, would be none the + worse for learning, as in 'My Pretty,' 'The Gold Scissors,' and + 'The Princess and the Fairy,' in which the receipt for happiness + is given as unselfishness and shared blessings. + + JERRY DODDS, MILLIONAIRE: A School Yarn of Merriment and Mystery. By + H. BARROW-NORTH. With six Illustrations by Harold Copping. 3/6 + + Jerry Dodds is the good-hearted and open-handed son of a South + African millionaire, and his fortunes are traced from the time + he enters Westpool School until he is kidnapped, and recovered + in a marvellous way. There are lively times at Westpool--a fire, + a steamer adventure, a feast to his school chums given by Jerry + Dodds, and abundant adventures, which any boy will follow with + breathless interest. The youth of Westpool School are as bright, + healthy, mischief-making, and mirth-provoking youngsters as any + boy might wish to know. Out of one prank into another seems to + have been their motto. + + [_From_ THE KOPJE GARRISON, _by G. M. Fenn; price 5s._] + + [Illustration: In a very short time he was once more on a pony, with + the sergeant keeping him in his place.] + + THE ARGONAUTS OF THE AMAZON. By C. R. KENYON. With six Illustrations + by Arthur Rackham. 3/6 + + Mr Charles R. Kenyon, author of the popular story, _The Young + Ranchmen_, here tells a thrilling tale of adventure in which + three old chums, in the search for the Inca's treasure in + the remote regions of the mighty Andes, procure a little + steam-launch for the navigation of the Amazon and some of its + feeders, such as the Ucayali. Their whole course teems with + remarkable experiences and adventures, and the climax is reached + when, after several fights with strange tribes, they are shut up + as prisoners in the Incala's treasure-chamber. How they escape, + discover gold in great plenty, and begin a large colonisation + scheme is told in a spirited manner. + + OUT OF BOUNDS: A Series of School Stories. By ANDREW HOME. With + eight Illustrations by Harold Copping. 3/6 + + Mr Andrew Home understands and can write about the average + schoolboy with clearness, humour, and adequate knowledge. In + this gathering of short stories many phases of boy-life are + dealt with, in and out of school. There are humorous adventures, + some of which are on the point of ending tragically. All the + stories are wholesome and entertaining, and inculcate the + virtues of truthfulness, sympathy, bravery, and attention to + duty in the battle of life. + + THE THREE WITCHES. By Mrs MOLESWORTH.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/37983-8.zip b/37983-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5574958 --- /dev/null +++ b/37983-8.zip diff --git a/37983-h.zip b/37983-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..47a82ba --- /dev/null +++ b/37983-h.zip diff --git a/37983-h/37983-h.htm b/37983-h/37983-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..98727ce --- /dev/null +++ b/37983-h/37983-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,2956 @@ +<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" +"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> +<html> +<head> +<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> +<title> W. & R.

She is seriously handicapped, and the + prize falls, through an error, to the designing girl who has + ruined her happiness.

LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States.

With ten + Illustrations by Percy Tarrant. 6/ + + Girls of all ages are sure to be fascinated by the pathetic and + highly interesting narrative of Nan Esterleigh, the orphan girl + who makes her home with a friend of her mother's, where she has + abundance of nice pets, good companions, and an atmosphere of + wholesome comfort, and where she is quite happy until an act of + deceit puts her in the power of an older and designing girl, and + renders her at times very miserable. This wrong-doing is the + shadow over her life, as she finds when Captain Richmond starts + the Royal True Blue society, with its prize to be given for the + best girl who had cultivated every side of her nature--moral, + intellectual, and physical. She is seriously handicapped, and + the prize falls, through an error, to the designing girl who has + ruined her happiness. Misfortune brings this maiden to a better + mind and true repentance, and Nan comes to her own again in the + esteem and respect of every one. There are many other attractive + girl characters in this entertaining story. + + [Illustration: _From_ A NEST OF GIRLS. 6/] + + A NEST OF GIRLS; or, Boarding School Days. By E. WESTYN TIMLOW. With + eight Illustrations by H. R. Richards. 6/ + + Here we are introduced to a bevy of smart, clever, American + girls in a boarding-school, just at the time that Winifred + Douglas becomes teacher of English Literature there. Winifred + was wise, if only four-and-twenty, and the love she felt for her + work was only equalled by the sense of responsibility she had + for the impressionable girls under her charge. How she helped + and influenced them for good, although she 'hurt sometimes,' + comes out in the story, which is brimful of life and vivacity. + The lady principal and the doings of a circle of immensely smart + girls keep up the interest of this wholesome picture of + girl-life. + + SEVEN MAIDS.

With eight Illustrations by W. + Rainey. 5/ + + All spirited maidens will follow with interest the training and + development of the character of Evelyn Wynford, heiress of + Castle Wynford, who, when she arrives from Tasmania at her + uncle's house, which will afterwards be her own, is extremely + self-conscious though clever, and is wilful, selfish, vain, and + altogether unladylike. Her maid Jasper is her evil genius. As + the story develops, her aunt, her cousin, and others begin to + have a wholesome influence over her; then certain misdemeanours, + which land her in serious trouble, humble her, and leave her + much changed and truly repentant. The 'Naughty Girl' becomes + transformed into a wise and comely young woman. + + COURAGE AND CONFLICT. A Series of Stories by G. A. HENTY, G. + MANVILLE FENN, F. T. BULLEN, FRED WHISHAW, &c. With eight + Illustrations by W. Boucher. 5/ + + The names of the writers here are a guarantee for the sound + entertainment provided in this companion volume to _Dash and + Daring_, _Peril and Prowess_, and _Venture and Valour_. The + story by Mr G. A. Henty is one of pioneering in the days of the + early settlers in America, when the natives were troublesome, + and who in this case rose up and nearly exterminated the white + people. Mr G. M. Fenn tells a funny seaside story; while Andrew + Balfour, Captain North, Walter Thornbury, James Patey, Fred + Whishaw, Harold Bindloss, and others contribute dashing stories + of peril and adventure, and great heroism in the hour of danger. + + [_From_ GIRLS OF THE TRUE BLUE, _by L.

MANVILLE FENN. + With eight Illustrations by W. Boucher. 5/ + + Mr Fenn transports his readers to the South African veldt, + where, in imagination and in reality, so many of his countrymen + have been for the past two years, and helps them to understand + by means of this brisk and exciting tale what so many of our + gallant soldiers have had to endure. This new story mainly + follows the fortunes of two young men in khaki--Drew Lennox and + Bob Dickenson--in and around the village of Groenfontein, which + is bravely held by a little British force against the Boers. + Sometimes half-starved, and subjected to night and day attacks, + they make a little Gibraltar of the place, and ever render a + good account of themselves. Something is always happening within + or without Groenfontein, and in the end the story leaves Drew + Lennox captain and V.C. + + MISS NONENTITY. By L. T. MEADE. With eight Illustrations by W. + Rainey. 5/ + + _Punch_ says--'My Baronitess informs me that she has not the + slightest hesitation in advising everybody young enough to enjoy + the story to make the acquaintance of _Miss Nonentity_, by L. T. + Meade. She will be found a very delightful person, who proves + herself to be a "Miss Somebody," and of considerable importance, + too.' + + CHARGE! OR BRITON AND BOER. By GEORGE MANVILLE FENN.

With six + Illustrations by Jessie Wilson. By MAY BALDWIN. 3/6 + + A bright and naturally told story of school-girl life in + Germany, in which the contrasts with school life in this country + are strongly brought out. The heroine, a good-looking, clever + English girl, in a high-class school in Munich, meets with a + smart American girl who sins against many of the written and + unwritten laws of etiquette by her pranks and the freedom of + her manners and speech; yet all the while she is exceedingly + liberal, good-hearted, and well-intentioned, and a good friend + of the heroine, whom she shields from blame in connection with + an act which led to disastrous consequences. The lady principal, + Fraeulein Luise, one of the best of women, cautions the heroine + about her over-anxiety to be the best girl scholar; in spite of + this she works openly and secretly for this end, which is gained + at the expense, for a time, of her health and memory. It is + while the heroine is at death's door that she learns a lifelong + lesson that goodness is by far of more importance than + cleverness. + + COSEY CORNER; or, How they Kept a Farm. By L. T. MEADE. With eighteen + Illustrations by Percy Tarrant. 3/6 + + Mrs L. T. Meade, in her best vein, here tells how four children + show great ingenuity and cleverness in playing at keeping a + farm, and manage to support themselves for a time from the + proceeds. It is a wholesome lesson in self-help, and the reader + will be inclined to agree with one of the children that 'there + never was anything so nice in all the world as was life at Cosey + Corner.' Honeysuckle Farm, the farmer and his wife, and the life + there are prettily described, and the story is further helped by + the eighteen charming illustrations by Mr Percy Tarrant. + + 'MY PRETTY' AND HER BROTHER 'TOO.' And other Stories. By Mrs + MOLESWORTH. Charmingly Illustrated by Lewis Baumer. 3/6 + + Mrs Molesworth, always happily inspired when she writes for or + about children, here presents ten short stories, in which little + children are depicted in her inimitable style. Some of them have + a Christmas flavour; all convey in an attractive form some + lessons which young folks, and old folks too, would be none the + worse for learning, as in 'My Pretty,' 'The Gold Scissors,' and + 'The Princess and the Fairy,' in which the receipt for happiness + is given as unselfishness and shared blessings. + + JERRY DODDS, MILLIONAIRE: A School Yarn of Merriment and Mystery. By + H. BARROW-NORTH. With six Illustrations by Harold Copping. 3/6 + + Jerry Dodds is the good-hearted and open-handed son of a South + African millionaire, and his fortunes are traced from the time + he enters Westpool School until he is kidnapped, and recovered + in a marvellous way. There are lively times at Westpool--a fire, + a steamer adventure, a feast to his school chums given by Jerry + Dodds, and abundant adventures, which any boy will follow with + breathless interest. The youth of Westpool School are as bright, + healthy, mischief-making, and mirth-provoking youngsters as any + boy might wish to know. Out of one prank into another seems to + have been their motto. + + [_From_ THE KOPJE GARRISON, _by G. M. Fenn; price 5s._] + + [Illustration: In a very short time he was once more on a pony, with + the sergeant keeping him in his place.] + + THE ARGONAUTS OF THE AMAZON. By C. R. KENYON. With six Illustrations + by Arthur Rackham. 3/6 + + Mr Charles R. Kenyon, author of the popular story, _The Young + Ranchmen_, here tells a thrilling tale of adventure in which + three old chums, in the search for the Inca's treasure in + the remote regions of the mighty Andes, procure a little + steam-launch for the navigation of the Amazon and some of its + feeders, such as the Ucayali. Their whole course teems with + remarkable experiences and adventures, and the climax is reached + when, after several fights with strange tribes, they are shut up + as prisoners in the Incala's treasure-chamber. How they escape, + discover gold in great plenty, and begin a large colonisation + scheme is told in a spirited manner. + + OUT OF BOUNDS: A Series of School Stories. By ANDREW HOME. With + eight Illustrations by Harold Copping. 3/6 + + Mr Andrew Home understands and can write about the average + schoolboy with clearness, humour, and adequate knowledge. In + this gathering of short stories many phases of boy-life are + dealt with, in and out of school. There are humorous adventures, + some of which are on the point of ending tragically. All the + stories are wholesome and entertaining, and inculcate the + virtues of truthfulness, sympathy, bravery, and attention to + duty in the battle of life. + + THE THREE WITCHES.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5.
