Excerpt from The Fur Country: Or, Seventy Degrees North LatitudeAn immense brick and earthenware stove occupied the centre of the room, with a huge iron pipe passing from it through the ceiling, and conducting the dense black smoke into the outer air. This stove contained a roaring fire constantly fed with fresh shovelfuls Of coal by the stoker, an old soldier specially appointed to the ser vice. N CW and then a gust of wind drove back a volume of smoke into the room, dimming the brightness of the lamps, and adding fresh blackness to the beams Of the ceiling, whilst tongues of ﬂame shot forth from the stove. But the guests of Fort Reliance thought little of this slight inconvenience 3 the stove warmed them, and they could not pay too dearly for its cheering heat, so terribly cold was it outside in the cutting north wind.The storm could be heard raging without, the snow fell fast, be coming rapidly solid and coating the already frosted window panes with fresh ice. The whistling wind made its way through the cranks and chinks of the doors and windows, and occasionally the rattling noise drowned every other sound. Presently an awful silence ensued. Nature seemed to be taking breath, but suddenly the squall recommenced with terrific fury. The house was Shaken to its foundations, the planks cracked, the beams groaned. A stranger less accustomed than the habitués of the fort to the war of the elements, would have asked if the end of the world were come.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Elementary History of Art: An Introduction to Ancient and Modern Architecture, Sculpture, Painting, MusicNow that the importance of Art as a means of intellectual culture is at last becoming recognised in England, the want of a simple Introductory Text-book is felt by all engaged in education. To supply this want the present volume has been compiled. The framework and the greater number of the illustrations are borrowed, with the permission of the publishers, from a small "Guide to the History of Art" which has long been in use in German schools; but this framework has been filled in by reference to standard English, German, and French authorities, and each division of the book has been supplemented by a chapter on Art in England. A glossary of the principal technical terms employed has been added; and if the "Elementary History" awake an interest in Art, and teach young people to recognise and appreciate beauty under whatever form it is presented to the senses, the aim of the writer will be fulfilled.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
