The Underground Railroad, Part 3 by William STILL (1821 - 1902) Genre(s): Biography & Autobiography, Modern (19th C) Read by: Lynne T, Spoken4, Maria Kasper, Greg Giordano, Lee Smalley, Jill Engle, Cheryl Lowber, Kathrine Engan, Cheri Jordan, Patrick Wells in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 28 - 28 - Arrival from North Carolina, 1857 00:16:11 - 29 - 29 - Alfred Hollon, George and Charles N. Rodgers; Arrival from Kent County, Baltimore County; Mary Cooper and Moses Armstead 00:24:09 - 30 - 30 - Arrival from Near Washington D.D., Hon. L. McLane's Property, Soon After His Death, Travels Via the Underground Railroad 00:33:59 - 31 - 31 - Arrival from Harford County, Maryland and Norfolk, VA 00:46:00 - 32 - 32 - Arrival from Hooperville MD, Maryland; Queen Anne County and Baltimore 00:56:48 - 33 - 33 - Arrival from Dunwoody County, Alexandria VA, Maryland, Petersburg, Maryland 01:06:53 - 34 - 34 - Arrival of a Party of Six, 1858 01:19:23 - 35 - 35 - Arrival from Richmond, Baltimore, Hightstown and Virginia, 1858 'Never before has the working of the Underground Railroad been so thoroughly explained. Here we have in complete detail the various methods adopted for circumventing the enemies of freedom, and told, as it is, with great simplicity and natural feeling, the narrative is one which cannot but make a deep impression. Thrilling incidents, heroic adventures and noble deeds of self-sacrifice light up every page, and will enlist the heartiest sympathies of all generous souls. It was eminently just that such a record of one of the most remarkable phases of the struggle against slavery should be prepared, that the memory of the noble originators and supporters of the railroad might be kept green, and posterity enabled to form a true conception of the necessity that called it into existence, and of the difficulties under which its work was performed. The labor of compiling could not have fallen into more appropriate or better qualified hands.' The Philadelphia Inquirer William Still is often called the Father of the Underground Railroad. Over 14 years, he helped hundreds of slaves escape to freedom in Canada. Still was committed to preserving the stories of the bondmen and he kept careful records of the many escaped slaves who passed through the Philadelphia 'station'. The Underground Railroad was published in 1871 from Still's records and diaries. In bringing you these stories, Librivox volunteers are reading from the 1878 edition. (Summary by MaryAnn)Complete list of recordings comprising this book:The Underground Railroad, Part 1, The Underground Railroad, Part 2, The Underground Railroad, Part 3, The Underground Railroad, Part 4, The Underground Railroad, Part 5.

The Chemical History of A Candle by Michael FARADAY (1791 - 1867) Genre(s): *Non-fiction, Nature, Science Read by: Availle in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 00 - Preface 00:03:30 - 01 - Lecture I 00:40:05 - 02 - Lecture II 01:12:20 - 03 - Lecture III 01:51:03 - 04 - Lecture IV 02:25:40 - 05 - Lecture V 03:05:12 - 06 - Lecture VI 03:46:45 - 07 - Lecture on Platinum The Chemical History of a Candle is a series of 6 lectures on chemistry presented to a juvenile audience in 1848. Taught by Michael Faraday - a chemist and physist, and regarded as the best experimentalist in the history of science - it is probably the most famous of the Christmas Lectures of the Royal Society. Taking the everyday burning of a candle as a starting point, Faraday spans the arc from combustion and its products, via the components of water and air (oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon), back to the type of combustion that happens in the human body when we breathe. The final lecture 'On Platinum' describes a then new method to produce large quantities of Platinum. It was delivered before the Royal Institution on February 22, 1861. (Summary by Availle.)

'…for I did not write for an English public, nor did I ever pretend to popularity in England. The 'SAUNTERINGS' were intended for the profit and amusement of my German countrymen; and I must say I was not a little pleased and surprised with the very flattering reception which my book experienced at the hands of the English critics. Their favourable opinion, which they so emphatically and—I am selfish enough to go the whole length of the word—so ably expressed, has probably caused the production of the book in an English dress.'

Although the names are different, listeners should recognise many of the stories as the basis of modern fairy tales. Be warned however, that these stories are a lot more violent and gruesome then the Disney versions you may be familiar with. Parents should listen to the files to gauge their suitability before allowing children to listen to them.
