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 Leer, Germany on the 9th of October 1822.
He was educated at the universities of Bonn, Berlin and Gottingen (1841–1845).
For a few years he was a teacher at Leer and at Osnabriick; but in 1858 he settled at Hanover, where he became intimate with King George V, who made him his Archivrat. Thoroughly disliking Prussia, he was in hearty accord with George in resisting her aggressive policy; and after the annexation of Hanover in 1866 he accompanied the exiled king to Hietzing.
His Der Konig Friedrich II und seine Politik (Schaffhausen, 1867) and Geschichte Ostjrieslands (Hanover, 1854 - 1858) show his dislike of Prussia. His other works include Der dreissigjahrige Krieg bis zum Tode Gustav Adolfs (Paderborn, 1891 - 1896); a revised edition of his Tilly im dreissigjahrigen Kriege (Stuttgart, 1861); a life of George V, Konig Georg V (Hanover, 1878); Phillipp Melanchthon (Berlin, 1897). He edited Corrispondenza epistolare tra Leopoldo I. imperatore ed il P. Marco d'Aviano cappuccino (Gratz, 1888).
Klopp also wrote much in defence of George V and his claim to Hanover, including the Offizieller Bericht liber die Kriegsereignisse zwischen Hannover und Preussen im Juni 1866 (Vienna, 1867), and he edited the works of Leibnitz in eleven volumes (1861 - 1884).
Klopp is best known as the author of Der Fall des Hauses Stuart (Vienna, 1875 - 1888), the fullest existing account of the later Stuarts.
