Wine, Water and Song

This little volume is chiefly composed of the rollicking, Bacchanalian and ironical songs from Mr. Chesterton's novel, "The Flying Inn", with certain additions. Sillince's drawings have obvious merits, but are far from obvious. The vigour, the derision, the sheer comicality are there, plus a lyrical touch that shows real understanding. The final drawings epitomise Chesterton's spirit and his work. Contents Include: The Englishman - Wine and Water - The Song Against Grocers - The Rolling English Road - The Song of Quoodle - Pioneers, O Pioneers - The Logical Vegetarian - "The Saracen's Head" - The Good Rich Man - The Song Against Songs - Me Heart - The Song of the Oak - The Road to Roundabout - The Song of the Strange Ascetic - The Song of Right and Wrong - Who Goes Home?

The Emigrants Guide to Oregon and California, Containing Scenes and Incidents of a Party of Oregon Emigrants

Originally published 1845, this is one of the most collectible books about California and the Westward movement. The book is rich with practical information about how to go and what to bring, but it is even richer in describing the sights to be seen along the way. The book was an important reason why many pioneers chose California as a destination. It was also the guidebook used by the Donner Party on their fateful journey! Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
