The Chronicles Of Bree I 1e35 48

Taking place in the Brebon Isles off the northern coast of Aerbon during the First Era, "The Chronicles of Bree I" tells the tale of Rome's invasion of Bree. With the Roman economy suffering in light of the Roman-Itanian War of 1E25-30 and the Second Sumatran War (1E21-32), the Roman-based Merchant's Guild sent an expedition across the Aerbonean Ocean in their efforts to circumvent the neighbouring Kingdom of Svaneiol. This was predominantly due to the fact that they found their northern convoys plagued by the bandits and thieves that were prevalent in the poorer kingdom where it was situated in the mountainous woodlands between Rome and Legion. Following their ensuing discovery of the Brebon Isles, the reigning emperor launched a military campaign to bring the islands under the rule of the Roman Empire. The Breelanders were a primitive and tribal people, though their main advantage laid in the wars that had ravaged Rome's mighty empire. As a result, both sides found themselves pitted against one another in a long and bloody war where the Breelanders tenaciously fought to maintain their independence whilst Rome's forces fought to strengthen their influence in the lands of Aerbon and restore their economy in light of their campaigns against Itania and Sumatra.

This book is in great demand by baseball enthusiasts. Having been connected with every department of the game from player to magnate, Mr. Spalding has contributed a very important work to the game's history. As the invincible pitcher of the Boston Club, previous to the formation of the National League, his book of so many pages is an interesting record of events dating from the beginning of the great American pastime. It is not exactly a history of the game, but deals largely with incidents during the author's career, who was a player in the late 1860s and early 1870s, and helped organize the National League in 1876. One chapter, devoted to sundry topics, gives an account of the sale of the immortal "King Kelly," the original "$10,000 beauty," by Chicago to the Boston Club in the late 1880s. Other Chapters are devoted to the literature of the game, quoting several instances of the baseball paragrapher's art and also specimens of the distinct poetry of the pastime, of which "Casey at the Bat" is probably the most widely known. The Cincinnati Red Stockings Mr. Spalding gives credit as being the pioneer professional organization. It was not, however, until 1871 that professional baseball playing, as recognized today, was instituted. Mr. Spalding shows how cricket could not do for Americans. He says it is suitable for the British temperament, but not for the Yankee hustling spirit. He also tells how he worked into the game through a one-handed catch when a small boy. To lovers of baseball, whose name is legion, and whose number increases yearly, this book comprises in itself a whole library of useful information.

Combining quixotic adventure, spine-chilling horror, and deliriously paranoid theology, Galactic Pot-Healer is a uniquely Dickian voyage to alternate worlds of the imagination.
