A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored."Ê Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books.

There are now 65,000Ê titles availableÊ (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such asÊ Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon.

Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

Biographie de l'auteur

James Edward Cowell Welldon (1854-1937) was an English clergyman, public school headmaster, Anglican bishop, and scholar. He was the author and translator of a number of classical and theological works. As Headmaster of Harrow School, Welldon was known to the boys as "the Porker"--no doubt uncharitably--on account of his substantial frame and somewhat 'porcus' like facial appearance. Welldon never married. For nearly fifty years he maintained a close companionship with his devoted manservant, Edward Hudson Perkins, whose death in 1932 was a severe emotional blow to him. He died at the age of 83.
