Excerpt from The Golden Calf, Vol. 1 of 2: A Novel There was a grim smile on the principal's coarsely featured countenance as she gave this order. Miss Rylance was not one of the six who had started up to do the schoolmistress's bidding. She was a young lady who considered her mission in life anything rather than to carry a message - a young lady who thought herself quite the most refined and elegant thing at Mauleverer Manor, and so entirely superior to her surroundings as to be absolved from the necessity of being obliging. But Miss Pew's voice, when fortified by anger, was too much even for Miss Rylance' s calm sense of her own merits, and she rose at the lady's bidding, laid down her ivory penholder on the neatly-written exercise, and walked out of the room quietly, with the slow and stately deportment imparted by a long course of in struction from Madame Rigolette, the fashionable dancing-mistress.

Excerpt from The Golden Calf, Vol. 1: A Novel 'Where is Miss Palliser?' inquired Miss Pew, in that awful voice of hers, at which the classroom trembled, as at unexpected thunder. A murmur ran along the desks, from girl to girl, and then some one, near that end of the long room which was sacred to Miss Pew and her lieutenants, said that Miss Palliser was not in the class-room. 'I think she is taking her music lesson, ma'am, ' faltered the girl who had ventured diffidently to impart this information to the schoolmistress. 'Think?'

Excerpt from The Golden Calf, Vol. 1 of 3: Or, Prodigality and Speculation in the Nineteenth Century On the seventh of last month (September, 1849) a leading article appeared in the Times journal, recommending a work to be written, which was to be "of eminent advantage to the public," and for which "a very rapid sale" was predicted. The writer went on to say - "we would take any young author in hand who is burning with a noble thirst for literary distinction, and give him the plan of a work, which, if well executed, would carry his name into every gentleman's library and every merchant's counting-house in the three kingdoms. The subject should be 'Railway Frauds.'" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Halakhah embodies the complete Jewish Law, and contains commandments and guidelines for day-to-day living. The original commandments given by God to the Jewish people were enhanced by rabbis to offer a detailed framework to guide the lives of all Jews. In this complete, all-encompassing encyclopaedia of the Halakhah, the various laws are classified in such a way that a systematic and coherent structure is obtained. Each entry of the Halakhah is presented in a logical fashion. Where applicable, the original biblical wording is given, extended with literal abstracts from the Torah. Next, problems and questions that may arise from that law are stated and any additional information given. Finally, each entry gives comprehensive explanations and recommendations as to how these laws are to be observed in daily life – where to be and where not to be, what to do and what not to do, what to say and what not to say. The Halakhah, or standard Jewish Law, combines the Mishnah (about 200 CE), the Tosefta (about 300 CE), and the two Talmuds (about 400, 600 CE for the Land of Israel and Babylon, respectively). Volumes I and II contain entries pertaining to the Jewish people in relationship to God. Volume III explains how the Jewish people can restore and maintain their society in accordance with the Torah as it is explained by the rabbis. In Volumes IV and V of this study, we take up the life of the Jewish household in their encounter with God. The Encyclopaedic account therefore moves from regulating relationships between Israel and God to establishing stable and equitable relationships among Israelites and finally to actually living the Halakhah.

This early work by Mary Elizabeth Braddon was originally published in 1883 and we are now republishing it with a brand new biography of the author. 'The Golden Calf' is one of Braddon's novels in the sensation literature genre. Mary Elizabeth Braddon was born in Soho, London, England in 1835. She was educated privately in England and France, and at the age of just nineteen was offered a commission by a local printer to produce a serial novel "combining the humour of Dickens with the plot and construction of G. P. R. Reynolds" What emerged was Three Times dead, or The Secret of the Heath, which was published five years later under the title The Trail of the Serpent (1861). For the rest of her life, Braddon was an extremely prolific writer, producing more than eighty novels, while also finding time to write and act in a number of stage plays.
