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.

So secret had every arrangement been carried out that Judge Bagby, a leading democrat of Rushville, feeling that all was right, left home for St. Louis on the 6th without voting, although he had received a dispatch that morning from Scott Wike stating that he had heard rumors of a movement to beat Leeper, the democratic candidate, and advising him to "sound the alarm." Similar notes of warning were sent into other counties all of which were unheeded. So well had the plans been executed that it was not until the votes were counted that the extent of the republican victory was known. Weaver carried three out of the four counties--Menard, Mason, and Schuyler, and was elected by 336 majority. The astonishment and chagrin of the democrats over their defeat is indiscribable and was only equalled by the exuberant joy of the republicans. Of course all the time the law allowed was consumed in canvassing the returns, but no unnecessary or unusual impediments in the way of seating Capt. Weaver were interposed and he was sworn in on May $ On May 14, knowing it would be the last opportunity, a supreme effort was made by the friends of Morrison to secure his election. Every democrat was present, and he received 101 votes--the republicans not voting--lacking two votes of a majority. It was his last chance, and on the fourth ballot, the THIRD ELECTION OF SENATOR LOGAN. 907 democrats began to concentrate on ex-Judge Lambert Tree of Chicago, who, on the sixth ballot also received 101 votes. No further ballots were taken until the 18th, when upon the meeting of the joint-assembly every member was present, and Gen. Logan, receiving 103 votes to 96 for Judge Tree and 5 scattering, was duly elected. Prolonge...

Not illustrated. 1892 Excerpt: ...to party and living in times of partisan strife, his career yet exemplifies the maxim that 'He serves his party best who serves his country best.' Retiring voluntarily from the scenes of his public labors and triumphs, he goes from us crowned with honors and followed by the gratitude and affection of his fellow-citizens." CHAPTER XLVIII. Administration of Gov. Fifer--The Thirty-sixth General Assembly--Re-election of Cullom to the Senate--Laws--The Drainage Commission--Conventions of 1800--The World's Columbian Exposition--Special Session of the Legislature--Laws--Growth--The Press--Literature. JOSEPH WILSON FIFER, the governor elected in 1888, is of German descent, and was born in Stanton, Augusta County, Virginia, October 28, 1840. His father was a brickand stone-mason, and also a farmer. The latter removed to Mc Lean County, Illinois, in 1857, where he purchased land, which Joseph helped to improve, at the same time aiding him in the manufacture and laying of brick. When the civil war broke out, his youthful patriotism was aroused, and he enlisted as a private in Company C, of the 33d Regiment of Illinois Infantry, sometimes known as the Normal Regiment. In the assault on Jackson, in 1863, a minie-ball passed entirely through his body, inflicting a wound which was at first considered mortal. He recovered slowly, and when again able to walk, returned to his regiment despite the remonstrance of friends; and rendered faithful and valiant service until the expiration of the three years for which he had enlisted. Up to this time, his only opportunities for an education had been such as were offered by an attendance upon the commonschools, which was rendered more or less intermittent owing to the fact that his time was required to help the family to a livi...
