The Laughing Girl by Robert W. Chambers
here was a red-headed slattern sweeping the veranda—nobody else visible about the house. All the shutters of the stone and timber chalet were closed; cow-barn, stable, springhouse and bottling house appeared to be deserted. Weeds smothered the garden where a fountain played above a brimming basin of gray stone; cat-grass grew rank on the oval lawn around the white-washed flag-pole from which no banner flapped. An intense and heated silence possessed the place. Tall mountains circled it, cloud-high, enormous, gathered around the little valley as though met in solemn council there under the vast pavilion of sky.
The Laughing Mill, and Other Stories by Julian Hawthorne
One of the tales, it should be added, is a mere jeu d’esprit, the presence of which in the collection is justifiable only on the plea that it makes believe to be what the others are—relieving a note too monotonously sounded by lowering it to the key of mockery. Possibly, nevertheless, it may turn out to be the float which will save the weightier portion of the cargo from going too speedily to the bottom. All the stories have appeared, during the last four years, in various periodicals, to the editors of which my acknowledgments are due for leave to reproduce them.
The Laurel Health Cookery by Evora Bucknum Perkins
Several years ago as I was leaving Washington after giving a course of demonstration lectures in hygienic cookery, I was impressed with the thought that a cook book (which my friends had been urging me to write) giving the results of my experience, would be the means of reaching the greatest number of people with knowledge on health subjects.
The Law and the Lady by Wilkie Collins
First published in the year 1875, the present book ‘The Law and the Lady’ is a detective story by Wilkie Collins. The novel starts when the protagonist Valeria Brinton marries Eustace Woodville despite objections from Woodville’s family leading to disquiet for Valeria’s own family and friends.
The Law and The Lawyers by M. K. GANDHI
The valuable experience and skill that he acquired in the course of his large and lucrative practice stood him in good stead in fighting his battles with the South African and British governments for securing political, economic and social justice for his fellow-countrymen. Gandhiji was not a visionary but a practical idealist. As Sir Stafford Cripps has remarked: “He was no simple mystic; combined with his religious outlook was his lawyer-trained mind, quick and apt in reasoning. He was a formidable opponent in argument.”
The Law And The Word by Thomas Troward
First published in 1917, this book puts forward the notion that the Bible is a book of promises that teaches us how to use the Law of the Universe. The author was an Englishman who was part of the New Thought movement and who was also interested in mystic Christianity. If you’re not a Christian, don’t let that put you off; this is still a good self help book for those wishing to harness their own powers.
The Law by Frédéric Bastiat

The Law of Attraction & Practical Mental Influence by William Walker Atkinson
For this reason there has been prefixed to this, his latest book, under the title “My Working Creed,” the most vital of the fundamental beliefs enunciated by Mr. Atkinson in that famous introductory statement of 1901. None can read the recurring, ringing “I Believe” of this author, without feeling an answering thrill of exaltation and power. To those who read this book I would say, imbue yourself thoroughly with the broad and beautiful spirit of those few preliminary paragraphs that you may pass on understandingly to the perusal of the teachings which follow.
The Law of Civilization and Decay: An Essay on History by Brooks Adams
The evidence, however, seems to point to the conclusion that, when a highly centralized society disintegrates, under the pressure of economic competition, it is because the energy of the race has been exhausted. Consequently, the survivors of such a community lack the power necessary for renewed concentration, and must probably remain inert until supplied with fresh energetic material by the infusion of barbarian blood.

The Laws of War, Affecting Commerce and Shipping by H. Byerley Thomson
“It would be superfluous to trouble my readers, in a concise practical treatise, with any theoretical discussion on the origin of the Law of Nations, had not questions of late been often asked, respecting the means of accommodating rules decided nearly half-a-century ago, to those larger views of international duty and universal humanity, that have been the natural result of a long Peace, and general progress.” -Introduction
The Lawyers Chronicle
The Lawyers Chronicle is a pan-African online publication for lawyers, scholars, students and policy makers. It surveys the main trends of legal and socio-political issues on the African continent.
The Lawyers Chronicle is multidisciplinary and multidimensional in its work and approach. It provides the legal community, scholars and students with a very crucial platform for information and analysis on a broad range of issues that matter on the continent.
Though our focus is Africa, we are also working with friends from jurisdictions outside the continent. This is due to the fact that we believe that analyzing issues from other jurisdictions is crucial to our legal development and this would further enrich our expertise and knowledge of the law.
