(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.

Excerpt from Lord Arthur Savile's Crime: The Portrait of Mr. W. H and Other Stories It was Lady Windermere's last reception before Easter, and Bentinck House was even more crowded than usual. Sicabinet Minis ters had come on from the Speaker's Levee in their stars and ribands, all the pretty women wore their smartest dresses, and at the end of the picture-gallery stood the Princess Sophia of Carlsriihe, a heavy Tartar-looking lady, With tiny black eyes and wonderful emeralds, talking bad French at the top of her voice, and laughing immoderately at everything that was said to her. It was certainly a wonderful medley of people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
