The Continent of the Future - Africa and Its Wonderful Development

Free Opinions
by Marie CorelliSome of these social papers which are now collected together for the first time, have appeared before in various periodicals enjoying a simultaneous circulation in this country and the United States.

Religio Journalistici
by Christopher MorleyI WAS coming home from Buffalo in a train delightfully called “The Black Diamond.” I had any number of books in my bag, but my lower instincts were uppermost: I was tired, and pined for the narcosis of newspapers.

This is what the German is taught at school, and this is what he reads in innumerable historical works. Spain, and above all the Spanish King Philip II, desired to fo..
Labour and the Popular Welfare
by W. H. MallockThe landed rental of the country is given by me as something under a hundred million pounds. It has been asserted that were the ground-rents in towns properly estimated, the true rental would be found to be a hundred and fifty million pounds or a hundred and eighty million pounds. It is no doubt difficult to differentiate in town properties the tot..
