A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

It is scarcely necessary to state that the following; pages have beet! written without anything like literary ambition. They have been composed by the author, with but little aid, within the short period of three months, and in the midst of exacting occupations in the editorial department of a daily newspaper. These explanations are not made to disarm criticism. Their purpose is only to define the claim which the authors work makes at the bar of public criticism. lie does not pretend to have written a brilliant or elaborate book; but he does claim to have composed, without seeking after literary ornaments, or taxing his style with intellectual refinements, a compact, faithful and independent popular narrative of the events of the first year of the existing war. The author has but little of obligation to express, except to his publishers, Messrs. West Johnston, of Richmond, to whom he would make a public acknowledgment for their generous encouragement, liberality and enterprising endeavours, which have enabled him, under many inauspicious circumstances, to complete his work. Richmond, Virginia, July, 18 G 2.

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."  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 65,000  titles available  (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as  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.
