Two fascinating true stories translated from French police reports which inspired Alexandre Dumas in writing The Count of Monte Cristo. We also have a free download of a significant missing chapter of the same novel.

We have collected in order the reviews by the famous English essayist Joseph Addison on the great English epic Paradise Lost. These can show contempoary readers many things about Milton's poem that are not as well recognized today but help us understand and appreciate it more.

In addition, for anyone interested in the development of the Bible in English, we have posted a download of a sample chapter from the different versions of the English Bible leading up to the Authorized or King James Version. That Authorized Version became the standard in English-speaking religion and literature for over three centuries.

Enjoy!
