Beckett's Eighteenth Century is the first book-length study of Samuel Beckett's affinity with the British eighteenth century and of the influence of its writers on his work. Reading Swift, Pope, Defoe, Fielding, Sterne, Johnson, Gray, and other writers of this period, this study demonstrates how he was not only influenced by them but interprets them for us in a quite modern way. Beckett's uniqueness is not questioned here, but this uniqueness is shown, paradoxically, to have its roots at least in part in his native literature of two centuries ago.

Industry leaders estimate that as much as 95% of the furniture sold each year is not professionally cleaned on a regular basis. With over seven billion dollars worth of fabric covered furniture sold each year to residential buyers alone, upholstery cleaning is one of the largest untapped markets in the cleaning industry. For the self-employed cleaner, this is a highly profitable market that is waiting to be sold, serviced, and maintained. 
In the past, furniture cleaning was largely a matter of washing down soiled fabric with a soapy sponge. Now with the advent of new fabrics, finishes, and dye systems, cleaning has become a more complex task, requiring special skills, knowledge, equipment, chemicals, and procedures. 
This book provides step by step how-to procedures and the practical information you need to take advantage of the many profitable opportunities available in the on-site upholstery cleaning industry.

Shorthand, as a means of written communication, has been with us for centuries. Such diverse men as Julius Caesar, George Bernard Shaw, and Charles Dickens all used shorthand. The plays of William Shakespeare, the words of St. Augustine, the lectures of Martin Luther, and the Gettysburg Address were all captured by an alert reporter using shorthand techniques. No form of written communication has lasted so long or has had as much impact in world history as shorthand. The need to have an indelible record of courtroom proceedings led to the creation of the court reporter. Early on the reporter had to rely on pen and ink, but today has the advantage of a vast assortment of machines. In The Record Never Forgets, Fannie H. Smith has presented an in-depth history of the development of shorthand and its eventual impact on court-reporting. With over 100 illustrations of key people, samples of shorthand technique, and the various court-reporting machines, hers is an unparalleled, exhaustive work. It is the fruit of nearly ten years of research.
