The Making of Modern Japan
by John Harington GubbinsThere is much speculation, but no certainty, regarding the origin of the Japanese people.

Beyond the Great South Wall
by Frank SavileThe purr and throb of London was quivering in stuffily through the open windows. The squeals of the “special” newsboys and the hansom-whistles of the early diners-out splashed across the blur and din, standing out against the immeasurable roar as against a silence.

His Royal Nibs
by Onoto WatannaBully Bill had “herding” down to a science, and “them doegies,” as he called them, went in a long line before him like an army in review.

by Henrik IbsenIbsen himself has told us, in his preface to the second edition of The Feast at Solhoug, how the reading of the Icelandic family-sagas suggested to him, in germ, the theme of The Vikings at Helgeland. What he first saw, he says, was the contrasted figures of the two women who ultimately became Hiördis and Dagny, together with a great banquet-scene ..
A Zloor for Your Trouble!
by Mack ReynoldsAfter the four G's acceleration had cut off and we were in free fall, I took the opportunity to read the contract I'd hurriedly signed with Westley Marks. On thorough reading, the contract didn't seem too bad. All my expenses to and from Mars were paid by Marks. I also got five credits a month in the way of salary—no fortune, but average pay for a ..
