Unless it's been claimed, I'll record:
American Beauty Personified as the Nine Muses (1870) by Charles Astor Bristed (1820-1874)
https://archive.org/details/americanbeautype00bris

I like this as it relates to my previous submission, Awake Ye Muses Nine.

I'd like to read The Ninety-nine Guardsmen by Bret Harte (1836 - 1902) (from your list).

I can't get any of those handle link books to load.

Thank you, Michele and Claudia. I have no idea why the Hathi Trust books won't load for you

. I occasionally find the site a little slow, but it always works for me in the end. I begin to wonder if it is something to do with geographical location...

Maybe I'm just not patient enough? I tend to give up after a few minutes of waiting for a page to load. After all, it should be a matter of seconds, not minutes.

ETA: It was my browser, not the site.

So, now that I can load those pages after all, could you please put me down for: Nine Graves in Edinbro by Irwin Russell?

Certainly, Claudia. I am glad you have found a way to see the Hathi Trust site - it is full of wonderful things.

Thank you, Ruth.

I'll certainly check it out.

Hello Ruth!
At last I fond something with 9. Would you please reserve me a place for the poem 1909 by Sasha Chorny (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sasha_Chorny)?
https://archive.org/details/satirycher00cheruoft (p.42)
It is in Russian.

And also
Лис Микита. Пісня дев'ята (Lys Mykyta. Pisnya Dev'yata) by Ivan Franko
https://archive.org/details/lysmykyta00franuoft (p.99)
in Ukrainian.

This link is for Section 23.

Hopefully, it's OK. I tried uploading earlier through Firefox, and it seemed to work. However, when I tried to copy the shortcut, the computer froze. So I converted back to Internet Explorer and re-uploaded. This time everything seemed to go all right.

Now it's time to go to bed...past time, in fact!

Ruth, can you also assign the remaining poems on your recommended list ('Nine' and "Ninety-Nine in the Shade') to me?

RuthieG · Post by **RuthieG** » April 23rd, 2014, 2:42 am

Thank you, Mary!

Anusha: I will put you down for those too

I'd like to record this short narrative for the collection: "Preservation of Nine Seamen" It's on P. 276 at http://www.gutenberg.org/files/25982/25982-h/25982-h.htm

The book title is a great one: "Thrilling Narratives of Mutiny, Murder and Piracy A weird series of tales of shipwreck and disaster, from the earliest part of the century to the present time, with accounts of providential escapes and heart-rending fatalities"

Darvinia has already claimed that one, I'm afraid, Mary.
