Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored." Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books. There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon. Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

He was born at Warsaw on the 20th of March 1801.
After attending the classical schools of Marienwerder and Konigsberg, he learnt farming on an estate near Thorn, and in 1821 entered the university of Breslau as a student of philosophy.
He soon abandoned an academical career, and, after returning for a while to country life, retired to the small town of Gollub, where he devoted himself to literary studies.
Among his other works must be noted "Ein Jugendleben"; "Der Mensch und die Leute"; "Zur Charakteristik und Nairn geschichte der Frauen (1859); "Zur Geschichte und Charakteristik des deutschen Genius", and "Die Weltklugheit und die Lebensweisheit".
Goltz's works have not been collected, but a selection will be found in Reclam's Universalbibliolhek.
He is known mostly for his work Buch der Kindheit ("Book of Childhood").
