Raemaekers' cartoon history of the war (Volume 2)
Publisher: New York, The Century Co. | ISBN: not set | edition 1918 | PDF | 232 pages | 25,5 Mb

The second year of the war opened in the West with the enemy, although superior in man power and munitionment, pinned down to a defensive line from Belfort to the sea. The new armies of the British Empire were still being raised and trained, and neither England nor France had reached their zenith in the production of guns and munitions. The western front was to remain for a time comparatively inactive.

Wanderings of a war-artist
Publisher: London, W. H. Allen & Co limited | ISBN: not set | edition 1889 | PDF | 193 pages | 16,2 Mb

I Believe that although a large section of the public do not read the prefaces to books, preferring to judge unbiased by the author's promises or apologies for themselves, there are, on the other hand, many who do, and to whom it is a sort of key-note to the contents; therefore should it incisively convey a suggestion of the menu with which their mental appetite is about to be appeased.

Women or Chronicles of the late war
Publisher: Baltimore, Turnbull | ISBN: not set | edition 1871 | PDF | 432 pages | 22,7 Mb

A true artist, before lie touches his canvas, paints upon the retina of his mind's eye a perfect representation of the scene he wishes to portray "with the skilful pencil of his fancy here deepening a shade and there developing an expression, until he sees it the perfect embodiment of his idea ; nor does he rest satisfied until the glowing canvas presents a reflection of this, its original.

The War of 1812
Publisher: Gerard Arthus | ISBN: not set | edition 1916 | PDF | 16 pages | 4,5 Mb

Our defeat of Great Britain in the Revolutionary War was conclusive; though "we" in that case included France, without whose aid the patriots must have been defeated. It is not so easy to discover a fund of military glory in the War of 1812.

The world after the war
Publisher: London, G. Allen & Unwin Ltd | ISBN: not set | edition 1920 | PDF | 168 pages | 11 Mb

Politically, the bonds of law and convention which, in spite of innumerable injustices, maintained a certain equilibrium in Central and Eastern Europe, have crumbled to pieces. Economically, the great interconnected machine of production and exchange, in which every part was needed for the working of every other part, has almost ceased to operate ; and Europe sees starvation staring it in the face.

The war and the future
Publisher: New York, The Macmillan Company | ISBN: not set | edition 1918 | PDF | 122 pages | 3,3 Mb

Yet nations, like men, sometimes turn away from their true selves to follow false selves, and to serve false gods. All the old Bible is full of stories of a little nation sometimes true, sometimes false to its soul, and falling into calamity, and then being quickened and helped, and returning to the truth and coming to marvellous things, to the green pastures, where goodness and loving kindness follow men all the days of their life.

What the war is teaching
Publisher: New York, Revell | ISBN: not set | edition 1916 | PDF | 232 pages | 10,6 Mb

The world is poor because it has too few prophets. It has many historians ; and no one would deny the importance of an accurate statement of the facts both of past and of current history.

A woman and the war
Publisher: New York, George H. Doran Company | ISBN: not set | edition 1916 | PDF | 288 pages | 10,5 Mb

It is not without serious reflection that I have collected these thoughts in war time to offer in book form to those who may care to read and ponder them. They were written for the most part on the spur of vital moments, when some of the tendencies of the evil times through which we are living seemed to call for immediate protest.
