The English historian and antiquary Thomas Wright (1810 70) co-founded and joined a number of antiquarian and literary societies. He was greatly interested in Old English, Middle English and Anglo-Norman texts, and in the 1840s and 1850s he published widely within these areas. Gradually his focus shifted to the archaeology of Roman Britain and to Anglo-Saxon cemeteries. Although much of Wright's research has been completely superseded, his work is still considered worth consulting, as he collected material not readily available elsewhere. This two-volume 1851 publication is testimony to...

Sam Digby is a typical fifteen-year-old boy who spends his days playing video games and goofing off with his friends. But when Sam's dad enrolls him in karate class, everything changes. His social agenda is messed up, and, worse, he gets the feeling he's being watched.
When Sam overhears a mysterious conversation that refers to him in a way he doesn't understand, he immediately goes to his best friend, Zach. Much to Sam's surprise, Zach-someone he's known his whole life-reveals himself as someone who's been watching over him for many years. In the magical world of Ansburry, Sam has...

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Thomas Wright (1810 77) was a highly prolific scholar of Old and Middle English and archaeology, although some of his work, particularly that on prehistory, was contentious.

The larger of these texts, De naturis rerum, consists of a scientific manual followed by a theological treatise, a commentary on Ecclesiastes. Neckam later produced an abbreviated verse form...
