The Power-House by John Buchan
We were at Glenaicill—six of us—for the duck-shooting, when Leithen told us this story. Since five in the morning we had been out on the skerries, and had been blown home by a wind which threatened to root the house and its wind-blown woods from their precarious lodgment on the hill. A vast nondescript meal, luncheon and dinner in one, had occupied us till the last daylight departed, and we settled ourselves in the smoking-room for a sleepy evening of talk and tobacco.
The Precious Pearls of the Bhagvadgita by Varshney, G.K. Prof.
In this book a new approach has been adopted to present the subject matter of the Bhagvadgita. In order to clearly understand the Gita, its whole subject-matter has been divided in nine main/major concepts. All the matter relating to a particular concept, scattered over the different chapters of the Gita, has been collected together and briefly explained under the concerened concept at one place. Then, conclusion about each concept has been given at its end. A notable feature of the book is that it has been attempted throughout to keep the interpretations of the couplets of the Gita exact, as they are, without embellishing them by personal sentiments and reverence. The author has been quite conscious to keep the explanation brief, clear and to the point. An effort has been made that each and every reader of the book clearly understand as to “What the Gita says about what and what is the real substance” — a new approach in real terms, that makes the book one of its own kind.

The Prime Minister by William Henry Giles Kingston
Having resolved to employ myself, during a prolonged residence in Portugal, in writing some work of fiction on that country, it struck me that the Times of the Marquis of Pombal would afford a good subject, untouched, as it is, by any other author. For a considerable time I delayed commencing my undertaking, almost in despair of finding the necessary materials. I wrote frequently to Lisbon to procure information, and mentioned my purpose to several Portuguese friends, who, at length, put at my disposal all the documents they possess relating to the private history of their families. From them I have composed the following work.
