Excerpt from Old Stories of the East There are few stories which in themselves are more intensely interesting than those that have come down to us from antiquity through the medium of the Hebrew Scriptures. Yet they have been so generally and so exclusively employed for the purpose of imparting religious instruction, that their purely literary qualities have not always received the attention which they merit. By very many persons, grown-up people as well as children, they are regarded as being inseparably connected with the services of the Sunday school and the Church, and hence scarcely to be thought of during the secular days of the week. There is really no good reason why this should be so. Indeed, there is no good reason why children in the day schools should not read these old stories of the East with as much freedom and with as eager zest as they peruse the classic myths of Greece or the ever-charming tales with which the world of modem fiction abounds. In the present volume it has been the aim of the author to retell these stories from a literary standpoint, and in exactly the same manner as he would retell other stories pertaining to the infancy of the human race.

Excerpt from Stories of the East From Herodotus: With Illus, From Ancient Frescoes and Sculptures In these stories I have kept as close to my original as I could, but I do not profess to have translated it. Of course, nothing like criticism or correction has been attempted. I should be sorry that readers who are not acquainted with the work of the "Father of History" should carry away from this book the impression that he is nothing more than a credulous and gossiping teller of stories.

Excerpt from East of the Sun and West of the Moon: Old Tales From the North A Folk-Tale, in its primitive plainness of word and entire absence of complexity in thought, is peculiarly sensitive and susceptible to the touch of stranger hands; and he who has been able to acquaint himself with the Norske Folkeeventyr of Asbjornsen and Moe (from which these stories are selected), has an advantage over the reader of an English rendering. Of this advantage Mr. Kay Nielsen has fully availed himself: and the exquisite bizarrerie of his drawings aptly expresses the innermost significance of the old-world, old-wives' fables. For to term these legends, Nursery Tales, would be to curtail them, by nine-tenths, of their interest. They are the romances of the childhood of Nations: they are the never-failing springs of sentiment, of sensation, of heroic example, from which primeval peoples drank their fill at will.

Excerpt from The Ancient Empires of the East Before learning, however, what it is that the monuments have to teach us, we must form a clear idea of the worth of the information about the nations of the East, which we have received from classical antiquity. We need only compare the following chapters with a work on ancient history, like that of Rollin, founded entirely on the statements of Greek and Latin authors, to see how different - nay, how inconsistent they are. If the one is true, the other cannot be. If the record of the contemporaneous monument is correct, we must give up our faith in the legends of a later age, reported by writers who scorned to know an oriental language.

Excerpt from The Tales of the Sixty Mandarins This is a real book of new Fairy Tales. Gatherings of legends of the people, partly Indian, partly Chinese, have been touched by the genius of a writer, himself from the East, who brings his own wit and fancy to the telling of his tales, and is as ready to invent as to hand down tradition. A Fairy Tale should-be all action, with something done in every sentence, or something said that carries on the story in a short and lively way. Whatever truth there may be living in its fiction must live in the tale itself, as closely joined to it as soul to body. Long moralising in a Fairy Tale is as the sound of Bottom snoring in Titania's lap. But here is Titania herself in whimsical mood, at play in the East. It is an old playground of hers - she must have been visiting her comrades there, when she made Oberon jealous with a lovely boy stolen from an Indian king. And Oberon, when he came to tease her for the boy, had not he also, as far as Titania knew, come from the farthest steep of India?

Excerpt from The Ancient East Historic, relating to a time much earlier than is reached by respectable literary tradition of Elam and Babylonia, though their civilizations were probably older than the Egyptian. For the Ancient East as here understood, we possess two bodies of historic literary tradition and two only, the Greek and the Hebrew; and as it happens, both (though each is independent of the other) lose consistency and credibility when they deal with history before 1000 b.c. Moreover, Prof. Myres has covered the prehistoric period in the East in his brilliant Dawn of History. Therefore, on all accounts, in treat ing of the historic period, I am absolved from looking back more than a thousand years before our era.

Excerpt from Evelyn: A Story of the West and the Far East The work is therefore primarily a story of the development of Evelyn's mind and soul, under the devoted tutelage of Allis to, he who is proficient in all lore and arts Of the East as well as master of the subtil ties of love. But the reader will not fail to feel the note Of serious scientific thought to which the narrative is keyed, every page pregnant with purposeful portrayal of the great renaissance of thought and ideals which marked the period of the seventies and eighties in the West and which effected such amarvellous change in the position held by woman in society. 'some will see a resemblance be tween th'e'mental creed of ancient India grandfi'ha't'fof the young New World, and Albietofrnay well symbolize this affinity that bridges the gulf of centuries. N 0 more fascinating pages have been written than Allisto's autobiography; and his apparent lineage with the ancient Kings of Delhi and his Vision of the UI terre Race are sufficiently striking in themselves to lift the work far above or dinary novels.
