Excerpt from Byron's Narrative of the Loss of the Wager As the greatest pain I feel in committing the following sheets to the press, arises from a apprehension that many of my readers will accuse me of egotism; I will not incur that charge in my preface, by detaining them with the reasons which have induced me, at this time, to yield to the desire of my friends. It is equally indifferent to the public to be told how it happened, that nothing should have got the better of my indolence and reluctance to comply with the same requests, for the space of twenty years.

Excerpt from The Wager and Other Poems Here is the woman's name I was to learn This morning. Well, I trust the lips that earn My needed ducats are not Old. By heaven! That were an insult scarce to be forgiven, A jest to cost some drunken reveller dear. [glanees at t/ze letter. Claire! -claire de Chastel Blanc. I did not hear That name among the many tossed about On ribald lips last night. Perhaps a doubt, Or the Duke's presence, or a friend who knew TO check some reckless sot, held back the crew, Till at the gray Of dawn I homeward went, And left them babbling, on a choice intent.

Excerpt from The Wager: A Poetic Comedy in One Act Giacosa was one of the originators of modern Italian drama. His best plays - "As the Leaves," "Sad Loves," and "The Stronger" - take rank among the highest achievements of recent drama and are of especial importance in the author's own country. "The Wager" (the original title is "A Game of Chess") was Giacosa's first play. It was produced in 1872. This little play requires a setting made to represent a castle-room furnished in the late Middle Ages' style. A few large tapestries - or rich portieres - two or three heavy chairs, hung with draperies, will serve to create the correct atmosphere. The costumes must be of the period.

Excerpt from The Senior Lieutenant's Wager: And Other Stories The tropical moon shone down with soft brilliancy on the nearby paddy fields, thickly covered with the growing rice; it turned the dirty, weather-stained tents of G company of the steenth regulars into a long line of silvery, gleaming white; it threw into sharp relief the blue-shirted figures of the pickets on outpost duty. It was a peaceful scene, only disturbed by the call of All's well! And the rattle of rifles as their owners shifted the heavy Krags from one shoulder to another. The moonlight fell softly upon two people who were on the broad veranda of the Presidente's bungalow. One of them, a tall, blond young officer, was walking nervously back and forth, while, reclining on a low, native wicker couch, the Presidente's pretty daughter, Mercedes, sang a passionate Spanish love song.

Excerpt from Superstition and Force: Essays on the Wager of Law the Wager of Battle the Ordeal the Torture It is from these sources that I have attempted, in the present work, a brief investigation into the group of laws and customs through which our forefathers sought to dis cover hidden truth when disputed between man and man. Not only do these throw light upon the progress of human development from primitive savagism to civilized enlightenment, but they bring into view some of the strangest mysteries of the human mind. In this edition I have endeavored to indicate, more clearly than before, the source, in prehistoric antiquity.

Excerpt from Superstition and Force: Essays on the Wager of Law the Wager of Battle the Ordeal Torture Apart from the exact sciences, there is no subject which more fully repays the student than the history of jurisprudence. To the reflecting mind few popular quotations are so essentially false, or reveal so narrow a view of life as the often cited lines - "How small, of all that human hearts endure, That part which kings or laws can cause or cure!" Since the origin of society, each unit of our race has struggled on in his allotted path, through joys and griefs, fashioned, for the most part, by the invisible network of habits, customs, and statutes, which surround him on every side, and silently shape his daily actions. Thus the history of jurisprudence becomes the history of the life of man, and the society of distant ages is more distinctly presented to us in the crabbed sentences of codes than in the flowing rhetoric of the historian. Slender as may be the respect with which we of to-day sometimes regard rotatory assemblymen and partisan judges, still are they none the less noteworthy personages. The parts are more important than the actors, and centuries hence it will be to our statute books and reports that the curious student will resort to find out what manner of men were the restless and energetic race which found self-government a harder task than the founding of a gigantic empire. The law-giver and the law-dispenser are the custodians of all that we hold dear on earth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Majesty: A Novel The betting-book in one of London's oldest and most famous clubs contains a wager, with odds laid at one hundred sovereigns to ten, that within five years there will not remain two crowned heads in Europe. The condition in the event of war between Great Britain and Germany was im posed by the date of the wager, for one member was venturing his hundred to ten at a moment when an other was dining with him to kill time before the British prime minister's ultimatum took effect: the imperial German government had' to deliver its reply before midnight, by Greenwich time, or eleven o'clock, by Central European reckoning.

Excerpt from Wager of Battle: A Tale of Saxon Slavery in Sherwood Forest I will here merely observe that, while the gist of my tale lies in the adventures and escape of a fugitive Saxon Slave from the tyranny of his Norman Lord, my work contains no reference to the peculiar institution of any portion of this coun try, nor conceals any oblique insinuation against, or covert at tack upon, any part of the inhabitants of the Continent, or any interest guaranteed to them by the Constitution. Nevertheless, I would recommend no person to open a page of this volume, who is prepared to deny that slavery per 86 is an evil and a wrong, and its effects deteriorating to all who are in uenced by its contact, governors alike and governed, since they will find nothing agreeable, but much adverse to their way of thinking. That it is an evil and a wrong, in itself, and a source of serious detriment to all parties concerned, I can not but believe; and that, like all other wrongs and evils, it will in the end, by God's wisdom, be provided for and pass away, without violence or greater indirect wrong and evil, I both believe and hope.
