Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

She secretly hoped that Randolf would not be in the same classes, for then she would rarely see him, and that, she thought, would be a great relief. She decided to take history and analytical chemistry, and she kept on with Greek and Latin. When she went into Professor Roemer's room to get the list of historical questions, the first one she saw was Pandolf, who had come for the same purpose. "Why, of course," she thought, "I might have known he would take history! And maybe, after all, it is a little cowardly for me to be unwilling to meet him in recitations." Nell took chemistry also, and they made themselves large aprons, and engaged tables at the laboratory side by side. The first morning, when they were arranging the bottles on the shelves and washing test-tubes, Will glanced across to the next row, and on a card above one of the tables she saw Randolf's name, which meant that he had engaged it for work. It was rather a coincidence that Randolf should have chosen practical chemistry too, and she was more amused than annoyed at the fact that their tables were so situated that she would see the back of his head whenever she looked up. Randolf had chosen a course in toxicology as a probable help in his future work, so that Will's motives and his were the same in electing work in the laboratory; for she had returned to her original intention of studying medicine, and for this a course in chemistry was the first...
