Appendix to History of Friedrich II of Prussiaby Thomas CarlyleThis Piece, it would seem, was translated sixteen years ago;some four or five years before any part of the present HISTORY OFFRIEDRICH got to paper. The intercalated bits of Commentary were,as is evident, all or mostly written at the same time:these also,though they are now become, in parts, SUPERFLUOUS to a reader thathas been diligent, I have not thought of changing, where notcompelled. Here and there, especially in the Introductory Part,some slight additions have crept in;which the above kind ofreader will possibly enough detect; and may even have, for friendlyreasons, some vestige of interest in assigning to their new date..　

STORIESSTORIESby English Authors in France1- Page 2-STORIESA LODGING FOR THE NIGHTBY ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSONIt was late in November, 1456. The snow fell over Paris with rigorous,relentless persistence; sometimes the wind made a sally and scattered it inflying vortices; sometimes there was a lull, and flake after flake descendedout of the black night air, silent, circuitous, interminable. To poor people,looking up under moist eyebrows, it seemed a wonder where it all came...　

400 BCTHE BOOK OF PROGNOSTICSby HippocratesTranslated by Francis AdamsTHE BOOK OF PROGNOSTICSIT APPEARS to me a most excellent thing for the physician tocultivate Prognosis; for by foreseeing and foretelling, in thepresence of the sick, the present, the past, and the future, andexplaining the omissions which patients have been guilty of, he willbe the more readily believed to be acquainted with the circumstancesof the sick; so that men will have confidence to intrust themselves tosuch a physician. And he will manage the cure best who has foreseen...

Westward of this ridge, and not far from theriver, stands a farmhouse, surrounded by such poor land that the sandysoil shows itself between the scanty ears of rye and wheat whichgrow in it. Some years have passed since the people who lived herecultivated these fields; they kept three sheep, a pig, and two oxen;...

Those Extraordinary Twinsby Mark TwainA man who is born with the novel-writing gift has a troublesome time ofit when he tries to build a novel. I know this from experience. He hasno clear idea of his story; in fact he has no story. He merely has somepeople in his mind, and an incident or two, also a locality. He knowsthese people, he knows the selected locality, and he trusts that he canplunge those people into those incidents with interesting results. So hegoes to work. To write a novel? Nothat is a thought which comeslater; in the beginning he is only proposing to tell a little tale; avery little tale; a six-page tale. But as it is a tale which he is not...

Young girls areindeed a formidable public, for they ought not to be allowedto read books less pure than the purity of their souls; theyare forbidden certain reading, just as they are carefullyprevented from seeing social life as it is. Must it not...　

ON THE DUTY OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCEI heartily accept the motto, "That government is best whichgoverns least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidlyand systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, whichalso I believe, "That government is best which governs not atall"; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind ofgovernment which they will have. Government is at best but anexpedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments aresometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been broughtagainst a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserveto prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing...

PRIOR ANALYTICSby Aristotletranslated by A. J. JenkinsonBook I1WE must first state the subject of our inquiry and the faculty towhich it belongs: its subject is demonstration and the faculty thatcarries it out demonstrative science. We must next define a premiss, aterm, and a syllogism, and the nature of a perfect and of an imperfectsyllogism; and after that, the inclusion or noninclusion of one termin another as in a whole, and what we mean by predicating one term...
