Excerpt from Heroes of Chivalry and Romance In writing the story of Beowulf I have been helped by Kemble's translation and notes, and still more by Professor Earle's admirable edition. In telling the Nibelung tale I have always had at hand the translation by Mr W N. Lettsom, and have also made use of a version made by Miss Alice Horton and published this year under the editorship of Mr. Edward Bell. I desire thankfully to acknowledge the obligation under which I stand to both these works. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Hero Tales of the American Soldier and Sailor: As Told by the Heroes Themselves and Their Comrades; The Unwritten History of American Chivalry This government has proved itself invincible in the recent war, and out of it has come a nation which will remain indivisible forever more.

That ag has been planted in two hemispheres, and there it remains, the symbol of liberty and law, of peace and progress.
