Bee Keeping for Profit. A New System of Bee Management (1891)
by Lizzie E. CottonIn presenting this work I have no apology to make.

History of the transmission of ancient books to modern times
by Isaac TaylorTwo books which appeared more than thirty years ago, and which have been long out of print, are brought into one in this volume. The second of them—the “Process of Historical Proof,” was, in fact, a sequel to the first—the “History of the Transmission of Ancient Books to Modern Times.” In now reprinting the two, as one, it has not been difficult to..
Sussex, Painted by Wilfrid Ball
by Hilaire BellocThe English counties differ in two ways from the divisions into which other European countries have fallen: in the first place, they are somewhat smaller than the average division, natural or artificial, of other countries; and in the second place, they have in many cases a more highly-specialised life.
