The residents of Three Corners, Texas are in shock to realize that,
even in the time following the Civil War, their quiet town is a
lawless place. They are threatened by the news of a gang of
desperados who have slaughtered a group of innocent people from
another state.
The townspeople know that they may be next, and so they enlist
the help of Elias Trace, a man battle-tested from the Civil War.
Even though he's seen enough blood to last a lifetime, he knows he
must do whatever he can to prevent violence from coming to the town
where he's come to live a peaceful life.
Likewise, Elias shudders to think of any harm being done to the
beautiful Emma Mann, who recently became a widow. Meanwhile, Emma
finds herself battling the feelings she feels for the newcomer.
If he wants to protect Emma and the town, Elias must lead a
militia of ranch hands, young boys and women against a band of
outlaws. There can only be one outcome in "From Hell to
Breakfast,"
Sir Henry Lyons (1864-1944) was the Director of the Science Museum
and the Treasurer of the Royal Society in London. He began
researching this administrative history of the Society in 1940, and
managed to complete it shortly before his death from ill health. In
it, he reviews the way in which the Society's council governed its
affairs during the two and a half centuries in which it gained its
reputation in the scientific world. A brief bibliography is
supplied at the end of every chapter. This book will be of value to
anyone with an interest in the history of science and the creation
and continuation of the Royal Society.
First published in 1943, this was the last book of the eminent
botanist and geologist Sir Albert Seward, who completed the
manuscript three days before his death in 1941. The book was
intended to be a useful and simply worded guide to geology for the
general reader. Seward wished to emphasise the attraction which an
understanding of geology could afford to anyone who enjoys a walk
over the countryside. After a preliminary survey of the essentials
of geology, the book then proceeds as a series of journeys through
the British Isles, bringing the geological history and features of
various regions under review.
