The Turkish Bath Its Design and Construction: With Chapters on the Adaptation of the Bath to the Private House, the Institution, and the Training Stable. E-book. Formato PDF Robert Owen Allsop   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

Since the revival of the bath Of antiquity, and its introduction into this country under the name of the Turkish bath, this method of bathing has become very generally adopted; and although onward progress is rendered less rapid than it might be, by the wide-spread popular ignorance that ascribes an element of danger to the bath, erroneous impressions are being gradually removed, and the continual building of new baths testi fies to the manner in which the institution ?ourishes on British soil. To what extent the delusion concerning the supposed danger connected with this form of bathing is to be ascribed to popular ignorance and prejudice, Or to the fact that baths of unsuitable design and construction, and Of faulty heating and ventilation, are put before the public, it would be hard to say. Certain it is that the latter cause has done much — very much — injury.

The Life Story of Albert Pike. E-book. Formato PDF Fred W. Allsopp   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

I have said to you that I very much prefer not to comply with this request, but because both yourself and Mr. Allsopp are so deeply interested in this subject, and because you are both friends of mine, I very reluctantly yield. After all, what is there to be said in a brief space, of this truly Great Man, great in so many ways, after the very readable and very attractive story contained in this volume? Surely there is little I might add, beyond expressing my sincere appreciation of the work itself, and that Mr. Allsopp and yourself will give many, very many Masons, throughout the United States, an opportunity of reading much of the history of the Man and Mason so well loved in life, and whose memory is so sincerely and affectionately cherished. There might be volumes written of the works of General Pike, and then the half would not be told. But it seems to me this Life Story well covers incidents and characteristics of his life, many of which never before have been touched on, that will prove of great interest to all.

Marion & The Bandit King. E-book. Formato Mobipocket S.R. Allsop   -  Pinkflamingo, 2021  - 

The Lord of the Manor steals her oxen on the day Marion buries her father. Her only recourse to protect herself and her younger brothers is to fight back with the only weapon available, her sex. She follows the guidance of her dead mother via a witches-brew induced trip, and learns to bend men and women to her will, and her pleasure. She also discovers that when the good and the lawful fail you, she must turn to but the lawless and the bad. Released from her dead father’s oppression, the resourceful Marion embraces her new sexual freedom. Her fight for justice takes her from the tiny village of her birth, to a Medieval market town. In her search for allies, she encounters the humble and the noble, law enforcers and law breakers. In her most desperate and dangerous gamble, Marion seduces the notorious Bandit King, using him to defeat her family’s enemies. All seems well. However, when you’re riding a wolf, dismounting might prove fatal. And when that wolf discovers you’ve ridden other steeds, people start to die.
