Excerpt from The Flowing Bowl: When and What to Drink While having been active for a period of more than thirty years in the line of hotel and bar business, and having given my greatest care to mixed drinks particularly, I have found them to be great favorites among connoisseurs. Repeatedly the desire has been expressed to me as to where to obtain satisfactory and reliable information how to prepare such delicious mixtures. A great number of men received such information from me, as far as a few minutes conversation could teach anybody. The oftener, however, such questions were repeated, the more established became within me the conviction that there was among the public a general desire for a book containing all advices of such a kind. The result of this conviction is this book, that hereby is handed over to the public. Feeling that I had to place on the market only a first-class manual, in all its details and instructions, I have given it the most particular care and study. Utmost diligence and attention have assisted me to express my thoughts in clear and exact terms, so as to enable any one, even private persons, to understand and comprehend how to obtain the most satisfactory results.

From the New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah comes a powerful novel of love, loss, and the magic of friendship. . . . now a #1 Netflix series! In the turbulent summer of 1974, Kate Mularkey has accepted her place at the bottom of the eighth-grade social food chain. Then, to her amazement, the "coolest girl in the world" moves in across the street and wants to be her friend. Tully Hart seems to have it all---beauty, brains, ambition. On the surface they are as opposite as two people can be: Kate, doomed to be forever uncool, with a loving family who mortifies her at every turn. Tully, steeped in glamour and mystery, but with a secret that is destroying her. They make a pact to be best friends forever; by summer's end they've become TullyandKate. Inseparable. So begins Kristin Hannah's magnificent new novel. Spanning more than three decades and playing out across the ever-changing face of the Pacific Northwest, Firefly Lane is the poignant, powerful story of two women and the friendship that becomes the bulkhead of their lives. From the beginning, Tully is desperate to prove her worth to the world. Abandoned by her mother at an early age, she longs to be loved unconditionally. In the glittering, big-hair era of the eighties, she looks to men to fill the void in her soul. But in the buttoned-down nineties, it is television news that captivates her. She will follow her own blind ambition to New York and around the globe, finding fame and success . . . and loneliness. Kate knows early on that her life will be nothing special. Throughout college, she pretends to be driven by a need for success, but all she really wants is to fall in love and have children and live an ordinary life. In her own quiet way, Kate is as driven as Tully. What she doesn't know is how being a wife and mother will change her . . . how she'll lose sight of who she once was, and what she once wanted. And how much she'll envy her famous best friend. . . . For thirty years, Tully and Kate buoy each other through life, weathering the storms of friendship---jealousy, anger, hurt, resentment. They think they've survived it all until a single act of betrayal tears them apart . . . and puts their courage and friendship to the ultimate test. Firefly Lane is for anyone who ever drank Boone's Farm apple wine while listening to Abba or Fleetwood Mac. More than a coming-of-age novel, it's the story of a generation of women who were both blessed and cursed by choices. It's about promises and secrets and betrayals. And ultimately, about the one person who really, truly knows you---and knows what has the power to hurt you . . . and heal you. Firefly Lane is a story you'll never forget . . . one you'll want to pass on to your best friend.
Excerpt from The Earliest Days of the Teetotal Movement: Dialogues on Drink and Physiology for the Young Over the Cockpit was a spacious room, in which was held a Young Men's Temperance Academy. There are some men still living [1892] who were members Of that academy, and who derived great benefit from the instructions they received there. Each member had a key, and was at liberty to enter the room at any reasonable hour. On a table in the centre of the room we had a number of newspapers, periodicals, and books of reference. One night a week John Brodbelt, whom I have previously named as one Of the early T eetotallers, and who took a great interest in literary pursuits, taught a grammar class and instructed us in composition. All Of his pupils owe much to the efforts of this gentleman. Among those who attended the class I may name Mr. Hornby, Mr. Hargreaves Cockshott (father Of Mr. J. J. Cock shott, solicitor, Of Southport), Mr. John Bromley, Mr. Logan, Mr. George Gregson, and myself. I was treasurer Of the academy when it closed. Five of the young men connected with the academy went to America, and some Of them did well. On certain nights we had a sort Of mutual improvement class, and held discussions on various questions. The class was highly appreciated, and its work was lasting. In his brief notice Mr. Walmsley appears to have thought that the Preston people were so well acquainted with the names of the most prominent and active members of the Academy that he needs not to name them such must have been the case, otherwise he would certainly have mentioned Edward Grubb, Myles Pennington, Henry Bradley, George Toulmin, John Sergeant, W. Livesey, &c. Mr. Sergeant, like many other of the members Of the Academy, became, in after life, a prominent public man, though not in Preston; for after a quarter of a century's earnest and energetic work in the furtherance of teetotalism he fixed his residence at Southport, and at the time Of his decease he was an Alderman Of that Borough. Referring to Mr. Sergeant's earlier days, Mr. Vvalms sley says At an early age he was a member Of the Committee of the Youths' Temperance Society con nected with the Old Cockpit, and it was there he first blossomed forth into an acceptable and eloquent public speaker. He made his first speech in the Cockpit when a Youth. He received much encourage ment from the veteran pioneer, Mr. Livesey, who was quick to discern any special faculty, and to appro priate to good uses the bent of a mind so constituted as that Of the youthful John Sergeant In contemplating the life of Mr. Sergeant I am impressed with the great number of working-men who have become public speakers and lecturers, whose first attempt at speaking was at a temperance meeting. These latter remarks ought to encourage aspiring young men to become temperance speakers, and by way of encouragement we may name that John Bright, one Of the greatest orators of our day, made his first attempt at public speaking with a speech on temper ance. Speaking of Mr. Bright's temperance Speeches Dr. Burns says It is certain that these addresses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Dialogues of Lucian, From the Greek, Vol. 3 Boifierous mirth, like dram-drinking, enervates while it pretends to invigorate. But Lucian is not one of thofe obfirepe rous fpirits, who break down all the boundaries of order. He has, in his fatire, a certain gentle air, which, where there are faculties to enjoy it, will beget good humour, which promotes health; and with out health, what is learning, or how is it to be acquired?
