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. ... Read more

A Treasure
I have not read this book yet, but my sister has, and she says it is a treasure. She did NOT want to return it to the library. Mary Somerville was a gifted lady with a fine mind and a will to learn. When she was a girl, she disobeyed her parents and studied algebra and Euclid at night by candlelight.A mathematician and astronomer, she also loved God. According to Wikipedia, she wrote clearly and precisely. When she was old, birds came and sat on her shoulders. I'm buying two copies,one for my sister and one for myself. ... Read more

Product Description
Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:POULTRY AND GAME.TURKEY.Truss a turkey as directed; fill the crop with fowl stuffing, see Chapter on Tbussing. Cover the breast with writing paper, over which you have spread dripping, lard, or butter; hang it on your jack; put a little dripping in the pan to melt for hasting. Do not put it too near at first, hut baste it well. An hour should do it with a good fire; but that must be determined by the size of the turkey. The gravy is made by stewing the giblets, seasoning them nicely, and straining it amongst the gravy, after removing the fat from the gravy in the pan. Dust a little salt over it when done, and dredge it with a little flour; baste it, and let it be quite brown. Some serve bread, and others a sharp sauce, with turkey. It may also he served with fried ham, or beef and pork sausages around it.ROAST FOWLS.Fowls are roasted exactly as turkey, and served in the same manner.ROAST CHICKEN,Young chickens are seldom stuffed, but when they are so, the stuffing is composed of grated bread soaked in boiling milk, a piece of butter, the beaten yolk of egg, and seasoned with white pepper, salt, and a few parsley leaves, and put into the bellies, not into the crop. They must be basted well when roasting; twenty minutes will cook them.ROAST GOOSE.After trussing, stuff the breast with bread-crumbs, a little powdered sage, minced parboiled onion, a little pepper and salt, and bind with yolk of egg. It does not require much basting, as it is so greasy of itself. Most people prefer to boil it for twenty minutes before putting it down to roast; this takes away the oily flavour. Make a nice gravy with the giblets. Serve apple-sauce in a sauce-boat.ROAST DUCKS.Proceed exactly as for roast goose, with the same kind of stuffing and sauces, a little cayenne... ... Read more
