    Putting the Most Into Life-Booker T. Washington

    Putting the Most Into Life by Booker T. Washington.

    The chapters in this little book were originally part of a series of Sunday Evening Talks given by the Principal to the students of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. They have been recast from the second to the third person, and many local allusions have been cut out. They are now sent out, in response to repeated requests, to a larger audience than that to which they were first spoken.

    Royal Children of English History-E. Nesbit

    Royal Children of English History by E. Nesbit.

    From the first chapter: "History is a story, a story of things that happened to real live people in our England years ago; and the things that are happening here and now, and that are put in the newspapers, will be history for little children one of these days. And the people you read about in history were real live people, who were good and bad, and glad and sorry, just as people are now-a-days." E. Nesbit writes about some of the people behind the names, dates and battles of English History in this lovely book for older children. The original book contains some beautiful illustrations and you can see those by clicking the 'Gutenberg' link below.

    Chronicles of America Volume 06 - The Fathers of New England-Charles Morris
    10 Nov 2026
    Chronicles of America Volume 06 by The Fathers of New England-Charles Morris.

    This sixth installment in the series, as one would expect, deals with events in the northern settlements that were taking place at the same times as those in the southern. The opening passage explains: "The Pilgrims and Puritans, whose migration to the New World marks the beginning of permanent settlement in New England, were children of the same age as the enterprising and adventurous pioneers of England in Virginia, Bermuda, and the Caribbean. It was the age in which the foundations of the British Empire were being laid in the Western Continent."

  • Foundation Stones to Happiness and Success-James Allen

    Foundation Stones to Happiness and Success-James Allen
    7 Nov 2026
    Foundation Stones to Happiness and Success by James Allen.

    This is one of the last books written by James Allen. Like all his works it is eminently practical. He never wrote theories, or for the sake of writing, or to add another to his many books; but he wrote when he had a message, and it became a message only when he had lived it out in his own life, and knew that it was good. Thus he wrote facts, which he had proven by practice. To live out the teaching of this book faithfully in every detail of life will lead one to more than happiness and success—even to blessedness, satisfaction and peace.

  • Neighbors - Life Stories of the Other Half-Jacob A. Riis

    Neighbors - Life Stories of the Other Half-Jacob A. Riis
    6 Nov 2026
    Neighbors by Life Stories of the Other Half-Jacob A. Riis.

    These stories have come to me from many sources—some from my own experience, others from settlement workers, still others from the records of organized charity, that are never dry, as some think, but alive with vital human interest and with the faithful striving to help the brother so that it counts. They have this in common, that they are true. For good reasons, names and places are changed, but they all happened as told here. I could not have invented them had I tried; I should not have tried if I could.
