Subject: [glibrary] Epochs in American History - missing page
Message-ID: <000301c616f6$f0725b30$6401a8c0@ahainesp2600>

I have a copy of  "Epochs in American History", by Edward S. Ellis, A.M. 
The title page also shows "American History Series, No. 2."  It was 
published by A. Flanagan Company, Chicago, copyright 1896 by A. Flanagan.

Its last page (containing pages 191 and 192) is missing.  Its page 190 ends 
with these two lines:

        He had made up his mind, long before, to
        become a lawyer and he now did so.  The same

Does anyone have this book?  If so, can you send me a images of the missing 
pages?

Thanks,
Al

Subject: [glibrary] Everychild - illegible words
Message-ID: <000301c616fa$3ad65d40$6401a8c0@ahainesp2600>

I have a copy of "Everychild", by Louis Dodge.  It was published by Charles 
Scribner's Sons, New York, 1921, copyright 1921 by Charles Scribner's Sons.

While scanning it, I found that two words on page 159 were illegible from 
what looked like dried, spilled food.  When I tried to (carefully) scrape 
away the residue, the whole residue flake came free and took some of the 
book's paper with it, along with the printing.

The missing text is on page 159's last paragraph, which begins with "A 
bluff, soldierly-appearing man...".  The last four lines of the paragraph 
are these, with the missing fragments indicated by underscores:

      ing rascals followed him into the room he re-
      _____, with a sigh: "He's not here.  And that's
      _____ of luck at least--to have no one about whilst
      we mix this devil's brew."  Then more briskly:

The first missing fragment ends with "ed".  From the context, and when 
combined with the "re" at the end of the previous line, the word might 
something be "reported" or "remarked", but I'm just guessing.  (Judging by 
the amount of space occupied by the missing characters, "remarked" is 
probably the better guess.)

As for the second missing fragment, from its context, I think it reads "a 
bit".  A portion of the T is visible, but the rest is a guess.

Does anyone have this book, that they can fill in the missing words for me?

Thanks,
Al

To the person who needed missing pages from Harold Macgrath's Hearts and Masks: I have that novel and am glad that you are posting it. I'm about to post the illustrations from it, but don't have time to scan the book. I could send you copies of the missing pages.
