The Three Stages of Clarinda Thorbald by William T. Hamilton
In the soft light of an afternoon sun, Clarinda sat in an old chair and read a thesis upon love, and she found set forth in this thesis that without love the world would not go around. Further, without love life would be but dross and hideous calamity. She also found therein that men have died from love, and women have languished in torments when it was unrequited.
Even though she was filled with apprehension as she read, she did not wish to eschew love, but was glad she was suffering from its effects.
She imagined that her own particular love was different from the love anybody had ever been consumed with, and she was glad in her heart she was suffering from its effects. She perceived it affected the glint of her hair, and she even thought it affected the beauty of her smile. She knew it affected her eyes, and gave an added color to her cheeks.

This novel was one of the first novels to deal with the concept of time travel and was regarded as one of the most impactful works on the science fiction genre. “The Time Machine” was written at the beginning of a period of great technological advancement. H.G. Wells was highly skeptical of technological developments in advancing the interests of the society. The author raises the question: will technology ever go too far? The future world of the Eloi described in the novel warns of the hazardous consequences of unchecked technological advancements in a provocative and timeless way.

The Tinguian: Social, Religious, and Economic Life of a Philippine Tribe by Cole
It seems desirable, at the outset, to set forth certain general conclusions regarding the Tinguian and their neighbors. Probably no pagan tribe of the Philippines has received more frequent notice in literature, or has been the subject of more theories regarding its origin, despite the fact that information concerning it has been exceedingly scanty, and careful observations on the language and physical types have been totally lacking.

APPLES so round, and bright, and red—
O, how I love to see;
They look so tempting as they hang
Upon the green old tree.
A naughty boy once tried to steal
From off his neighbor’s bough;
