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.

Excerpt from A Romance of Modern London, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel "I have known how sickness bends, I have known how sorrow breaks - How quick hopes have sudden ends, How the heart thinks till it aches Of the smile of buried friends." - E. B. Browning. "Who lives in the stars, Douglas?" said a child's voice. "Do the angels?" "Don't know, little one." "Why, Douglas, I thought you knew everything?" and the tiny speaker raised two surprised, reproachful eyes to her companion's face. The boy laughed - a short, amused laugh.

Excerpt from A Romance of Modern London, Vol. 2: A Novel "All Unknowing!" "And should the twilight deepen into night, And sorrow grow to anguish, be thou strong; Thou art in God, and nothing can go wrong That a fresh life-pulse cannot set aright That thou dost know the darkness, proves the light. Weep if thou wilt, but weep not thou too long; Or weep and work, for work will lead to song." - George Macdonald. Well, Conrath "pulled through," according to the doctor's predictions, and was soon going about again. As he had heard nothing of his book, had got nothing to do, was considerably in debt, and had been obliged to borrow a ten-pound note from Fenwicke - who, as it happened, could ill afford to lend it - it may be imagined that he was feeling the reverse of cheerful.
