The Young Colonists (Classic Reprint) by George Alfred Henty Pdf
Excerpt from The Young Colonists The country round Castleton, ln Derbyshire, IS greatly admired by summer tourists, for it lies in the wildest 'part of that county; but in winter the wind whistles sharply over the bleak hills - where there are 116 trees to' break its violenceethe sheep huddle under the shelter of the roughly-built stone walls, and even lovers of the picturesque would at that season prefer 'a more level and wooded country. The farm of Mr. Humplireys was situ a'ted about a mile from Castleton. It consisted of one hundred acres or so of good land in the bottom, arid of five or six times as much upland grazing on the hills Mr. Humphreys owned as well as farmed his land, and so might have claimed, had he chosen, the title of gen 3 tleman-farmer; buthe himself would have 30 such. An idea. He was a hard working, practical fa out. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The late 1800s saw the imperialistic Scramble for Africa, in which European nations vied for control of regions of Africa. The efforts of the British to secure the southern tip of the continent led them into unfortunate wars with the Zulu and the Boers (descendants of Dutch farmers). In G.A. Henty's The Young Colonists: A Story of the Zulu and Boer Wars, the Humphreys family moves from Derbyshire in England to the Transvaal in South Africa in the hope that a change of climate will be good for the mother's health. Young Dick Humphreys and his friend Tom Jackson find that being colonists came with great risk. Join Dick and Tom as they seek to protect their family and fellow colonists as they vie for control with the Zulus and Boers. Alacrity Press is proud to reprint Henty's 1885 classic, The Young Colonists. The story is set in 19th century England and southern Africa.
Book ExcerptP: ...ay three feet deep in the fields, and there was no saying how deep the drifts might be in the hollows. For the first two days the wind had tried its best to keep the hills clear, but it had tired of the work, and for the last two had ceased to blow, and the great feathered flakes formed steadily and silently.Tom was the first to wake."Holloa!" he exclaimed, "where are we? Oh! I remember. Dick, are you awake?""Yes, I am awake now," Dick said. "What is it? It is not morning yet. I seem to have been asleep a long time, and don't my bones just ache? Jimmy, old boy, are you all right?""Yes," Jimmy grunted."It is quite warm," Dick said. "It feels very close, and how still it is! The wind has quite gone down. Do you know, Tom, I think it must be morning. There seems a faint sort of light. I can see the stones in the wall behind you.""So it must," Tom assented. "Oh! how stifling it is!" and he raised himself into a sitting position."I am afraid we are buried dee...
Industrial Colonies and Village Settlements for the Consumptive (Classic Reprint) by German Woodhead Pdf
Excerpt from Industrial Colonies and Village Settlements for the Consumptive Symonds, and we together examined the patients, sampled the climate and other conditions, and argued with Unger and Ruedi. Then for the second time came Hope; more solid Hope. Given a fairly early case, and three years, and recovery was in the offing. And so we went on cheerfully with Davos. But Davos was not for every one; nor was every case an early 'one. Then came the discovery that lower altitudes would do if certain conditions were obtained; and so arose the great sanatorium movement. But slowly we found that patients could not spend their lives in sanatoriums; and one day on making my way up to one of them in England, I met on the way patient after patient, slouching along, bored to death with themselves and with each other; and even worse in morale than in body. Better discipline and better notions of thera peutics mended some of that; still I could not forget those listless saunterers, and it became evident to some of us, however unwillingly, that Hope was drooping again. The sanatorium was doing a great educative work no doubt; but at the end of its four or six months - what then? To send the patient away with recommendations about light jobs, and a regime, was almost a mockery or quite. What about the wage, and the family to be supported? The next lesson was brought home to me by a visit with other commissioners to certain cities, concerning some such problems. Before me now I see a gaunt hollow-eyed man, coughing, and leaning against the wall as he tried to talk to us, saying that his mates when he came out of the sanatorium - good fellows as they were - had bought him a milk that he might creep round, and earn a bit. The brave wife, shawl on head and mill apron on, had just come from the factory, and apologised for the dirty house - as well she might. The poor thing was working all day at the factory to keep the wolf from the door. All being dragged down together into the pit! What is the value of a good house, or a clean house, if no wages! What is there for the children? And what is to stop the infection! Who then would have the imagination, the initiative, the business capacity, to lift this burden, like lifting a world?
