This precursor to The New Yorker magazine features several Algonquin Roundtable regulars, including Broun, Woolcott, and Morley. Editor is John C. Farrar, an American editor, writer and publisher. Farrar founded two publishing companies — Farrar & Rinehart and Farrar, Straus and Giroux. ( Matt Pierard)

The author, Frederic W. Farrar, was a Doctor of Divinity, and Fellow of the Royal Society, and at the time of publication of this edition, a late fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, Canon of Westminster, and Chaplain in Ordinary to the Queen. Covering the scope of Christ's life, death, and resurrection, the book is written by a believer to believers, although certainly nonbelievers may find it enlightening. The author does not shrink from the miracles of Christ’s life, as described in the Gospels, but views his Lord as the supreme lawgiver of nature’s laws. Dr. Farrar enriches his work with his first hand acquaintance of the Holy Land, his exhaustive study of other scholars (including many Jewish sources), and his intimate knowledge of Biblical Greek, Latin and other languages. Christ’s story is beautifully told, with continual observations that are rich with religious insight and context. The print text provides footnotes, not included here, that even the most fastidious scholar will find a sufficient buttress for this exhaustive work. Among religious scholars, The Life of Christ, is considered a classic, withstanding the test of time. - Summary by Paul Douglas Callister

The 1920's are off to a R.I.P. Roaring start as a serial strangler dubbed Gold-Killer is squeezing the life out of New York's wealthiest men. The police search for a crazed, socialistic anarchist while the daughter of one of the victims and her gallant begin their own hunt among members of the "new" underworld that has arisen with the dawn of Prohibition. Who will be the first to identify the monstrous Gold-Killer? My bet is on you, dear listener, because solving murder mysteries is your forte! - Summary by Brian Fullen <BR><BR> <i>Gold Killer</i> - Cast List:<br><br> Tom Ware: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/7079"> Chuck Williamson</a><br> Anne Rice: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/13140"> Jenn Broda</a><br> Chickie La Fontaine: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/19361"> Hannah Lake</a>, <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/19584"> ShrimpPhish</a><br> Dos Andros: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/4570"> Bill Mosley</a><br> Joyce: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/19151"> Michael Faze</a><br> Flower Snatcher: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/12627"> Dave Lantz</a><br> Automaton Chief: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/12627"> Dave Lantz</a><br> The Chief: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/12627"> Dave Lantz</a><br> Flash Montague: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8011"> Greg Giordano</a><br> Bobby Merritt: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6754"> ToddHW</a><br> Pop Morgan: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/17713"> Brian Fullen</a><br> Baldy McManus: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/4570"> Bill Mosley</a><br> Anne’s French Maid: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/16884"> Shickey</a>, <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/17763"> Christine Bowden</a><br> Jack West: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8425"> Larry Wilson</a><br> Billy Harty: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/19466"> Douglas Wood</a><br> Policeman: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/16205"> James R.
