Librivox recording of LibriVox Nonfiction Collection by Various.
Read by LbriVox Volunteers
A collection of ten short nonfiction works in the public domain. The essays, speeches, news items and reports included in this collection were independently selected by the readers, and the topics encompass history, politics, philosophy, nature and religion. Included in this collection are "The Emanicpation Proclamation" and Second Inaugural Address of Abraham Lincoln, "Prinicpal Doctrines" by Epicurus, "Fox and Hound" and the preface to "The Breath of Life" both by John Burroughs, "The Wentworth Letter" by Joseph Smith, and "The Rhythm of Life" by Alice Meynell. From the New York Times, April 10, 1817 is an account of the Canadian capture of Vimy Ridge, "Haig Strikes Near Arras" and from the September 1921 issue of Vanity Fair an article on "The Flapper - A New Type." And for the those with more than a passing in the history of railways/roads, the "Report of the Railway Department of the Board of Trade" from February 1845 which impacted the 'gauge wars' of the mid-nineteenth century in England wraps up the list! (summary by J. M. Smallheer)
