The Book of Swindles, a seventeenth-century story collection, offers a panoramic guide to the art of deception. Ostensibly a manual for self-protection, it presents a tableau of criminal ingenuity in late Ming China. Each story comes with commentary by the author, who expounds a moral lesson while also speaking as a connoisseur of the swindle.

Excerpt from Columbian Selections: American Patriotism, for Home and School A larger volume, "The Patriotic Reader, or Human Liberty Developed," is designed to place in the hands of teachers and the pupils of Normal, High, and other advanced schools such standard selections from the oratory and literature of all ages as will have permanent value and command the just favor of impartial critics of whatever section, faith, or party. Hebrew, Roman, and Grecian models are therefore embodied in the selections. The chapters entitled "Demands of the Present Age," "Patriotic Tribute to Exemplar Lives," "Patriotic Sympathy with Struggling Peoples," and "Patriotic Appeals in Emergencies," are also necessary parts of that Patriotic Compendium. The present selections, with the exception of the National Hymns, Songs, and Odes, which equally interest adopted as well as native Americans in our composite citizenship, are "Americana" proper; and upon the completion of the fourth century since the settlement of America, the title "Columbian Selections" is in harmony with the hour and the glowing apostrophe of the elder President Dwight: "Columbia, Columbia, to glory arise, The queen of the world and the child of the skies; Thy genius commands thee; with rapture behold, While ages on ages thy splendors unfold. Thy reign is the last and the noblest of time, Most fruitful thy soil, most inviting thy clime; Let the crimes of the East ne'er encrimson thy name, Be freedom, and science, and virtue thy fame." As the frontispiece of the Patriotic Reader introduces Washington, the exemplar patriot, the Columbian Selections are introduced by a print from the oldest wood-cut extant, engraved by Paolo Giovio in 1575, of Christopher Columbus, and furnished for use by the New England Publishing Company, of Boston.
