Excerpt from The Red True Story Book The Red True Story Book needs no long Introduction. The Editor, in presenting The Blue True Story Book, apologised for offering tales so much less thrilling and romantic than the legends of the Fairies, but he added that even real facts were, sometimes, curious and interesting. Next year he promises something quite as true as History, and quite as entertaining as Fairies! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The True Story Book The adventures of Prince Charlie are already known, in part, to boys and girls who have read the Tales of a Grand father, for pleasure and not as a school book. But here Mrs. Mccunn has treated of them at greater length and more minutely. The source, here, is in these seven brown octavo volumes, all written in the closest hand, which are a treasure of the Advocates' Library in Edinburgh. The author is Mr. Forbes, a bishop Of the persecuted Episcopalian Church in Scotland. Mr. Forbes collected his information very carefully, closely comparing the narratives of the various actors in the story. Into the boards of his volumes are fastened a scrap of the Prince's tartan waistcoat, a rag from his sprigged calico dress, a bit of his brogues - a twopenny treasure that has been wept and prayed over by the faithful. Nobody, in a book for children, would have the heart to tell the tale of the Prince's later years, of a moody, heart-broken, degraded exile. But, in the hills and the isles, hating a little wilfulness and fool hardiness, and the affair of the broken punch-bowl, Prince Charles is a model for princes and all men, brave, gay, much enduring, good-humoured, kind, royally courteous, and con siderate, even beyond what may be gathered from this part of the book, while the loyalty of the Highlanders (as in the case of Mackinnon, flogged nearly to death) was proof against tor ture as well as against gold. It is the Sobieski strain, not the Stuart, that we here admire in Prince Charles it is a piety, a loyalty, a goodness like Gordon's that we revere in old Lord Pitsligo in another story.

Excerpt from True and Other Stories IT might have been yesterday, but in simple fact it was three hundred years ago, that something happened which has an important bearing on this story of the present. Antiquity is a great discourager of the sympathies the centuries are apt to weigh like lead on an individual human sentiment. Yet we find it pleasant sometimes to throw off their weight, and thereby to discover that it is a mere feather in the scale as against the beating of a heart. I know that when I Speak of Guy Wharton as having been alive and in love in the year 1587, you will feel a certain patronizing pity for him - because he is not alive now. So do I. But then it is possible that you will be interested, notwithstanding - because he was a lover. Would you like to hear what experience he had? I promise not to go through the history of those three hundred years. The story of Guy is merely the start ing-point of my narrative.

Excerpt from True Stories From History and Biography In writing this ponderous tome, the author's desire has been to describe the eminent characters and remarkable events of our annals in such a form and style that the young may make acquaintance with them of their own accord. For this purpose, while ostensibly relating the adventures of a chair, he has endeavored to keep a distinct and unbroken thread of authentic history. The chair is made to pass from one to another of those personages of whom he thought it most desirable for the young reader to have vivid and familiar ideas, and whose lives and actions would best enable him to give picturesque sketches of the times. On its sturdy oaken legs it trudges diligently from one scene to another, and seems always to thrust itself in the way, with most benign complacency, whenever an historical personage happens to be looking round for a seat. There is certainly no method by which the shadowy outlines of departed men and women can be made to assume the hues of life more effectually than by connecting their images with the substantial and homely reality of a fireside chair.

Excerpt from The True Story of Hamlet and Ophelia It is possible to form a conception of an intelligent, intellectual, educated man to whom the Tragedy of Hamlet is unknown, to whom the name Hamlet conveys no idea; and until a critic places himself in the condition of impartiality and lack of prejudice in which this imaginary man would be, he is not perfectly fitted to judge of Shakespeare's greatest play. The conceptions and misconceptions imposed on him by actors and commentators must warp his judgment and control his understanding. It is asserted that Hamlet is a study for the closet, rather than a drama to be presented on the stage; and the authority for the assertion is the play itself, with its difficulties of stage interpretation. True it is, that our imaginary man, who had never heard of the Tragedy, would conclude that Booth's, or Barrett's, or Irving's, or Fechter's adaptation is not a coherent, self-explanatory dramatic work; its presentation would seem to him only a series of scarcely connected tableaux vivants, with fragments of descriptive dialogue.

Excerpt from Against Fate: A True Story As J ennio had never received a shilling in her life, without a table of instructions added, this caution was unnecessary.

Excerpt from The True Story of Captain John Smith "Captain John Smith," says the late lamented Dr. John Fiske, in a volume of that brilliant series which his death left unhappily incomplete, "is one of those persons about whom historians are still apt to lose their tempers." In this respect the present writer has endeavored not to imitate the historians, but to present the true story of this remarkable man with absolute fairness to all concerned. With this for my primary aim, the second has been to substantiate Smiths account of himself as far as possible by summoning the testimony of contemporary history, enclosing, so to speak, his autobiography in a framework of the manners and customs of the times, and thus demonstrating its thorough credibility. The third object, and not the least important, has been to still once and for all those disturbing voices that have of late years been busy in aspersing his memory. The maps of Southern Russia and that of a portion of Transylvania published in this volume will, it is hoped, for the future, convict of simple ignorance him who doubts that John Smith fought the Turks in the "Land of Zarkam," or was carried a slave and prisoner into "Tartaria."
