This leatherbound collection of classic works traces the founding
of America, from the birth of the nation in the late 1760s to the
creation of a more perfect union at the end of the early 1800s. It
celebrates the pursuit of life, liberty and justice and the
freedoms that define America through notable documents as well as
significant pieces, writings and speeches by famous figures and the
founding fathers commenting on historic events. This volume
includes the full texts of "On Civil War" by Benjamin Franklin,
"Common Sense" by Thomas Paine, "The Declaration of Independence"
and many more. A beautiful addition to any home library, the
bonded-leather edition also features a satin-ribbon bookmark,
distinctive stained edging, and decorative endpapers.
This compact compendium contains the best work by the
nineteenth-century British Romantic poets including William Blake,
William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Lord Byron, Percy
Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats. It includes some of the greatest
poems in the English language, among them Keats's Ode on a Grecian
Urn, Shelley's Ozymandias, Wordsworth's Tintern Abbey, and
Coleridge's Kubla Khan.
The private lives of strangers can be fascinating, as these tales
reveal. In them, the strangers are all passengers on the No 13 bus
leaving Oxford Station at 1.15pm on a summer's day, arriving some
40 minutes later at the John Radcliffe Hospital. During their
journey more passengers get on and others get off and they rarely
interact. But behind each inscrutable facade are the joys and fears
of complex private worlds and private thoughts. This is a book to
dip into. It will, of course, help pass the time on a bus journey
or even in hospital but it is intended to give pleasure to anyone
who enjoys reading about other people and lives which may be
exciting, sad or just plain different. All proceeds from the book's
sale are being donated to the Hidden Heroes Fund of the Oxford
Radcliffe Hospitals Charitable Funds which supports staff
recognition, development and training across all the Trust's
hospitals.
