According to the book description of The Adventures

birthday. When trains in Trainville turned eight they are expected to deliver
packages from station to station. Today Nina was going to do it on her own. Her
father gave her all the advice she needed and warnings against distractions, but
even with the best advice sometimes distractions are too hard to resist."

Prodigal Child, "This book is a practical guide for parents, teens and
educators who want to bridge the gap between youth and adults."

According to the book description of How to share
your story, "Simply, our story is a collective of all the things we have
witnessed or experienced in our life. We all have stories we can share with
others. Just think about all the experiences you have had, all you have seen and
the different circumstances in your life. Remember the people you have met and
the places you have been; they all carry their own stories. Stories are powerful
communicators; they carry life lessons and principles learned through personal
experience. This is a practical book that will help you identify and share your
story to enhance your life and the life of others."

From the History
of the New York Police Department Since the first establishment of a police office in the City of New York, large quantities
of property of various kinds, and considerable value, seized under suspicion of being stolen have devolved to the office by
remaining unclaimed by any owner, and from the proceeds of the sale of such property, the expenses of the office have been
annually paid, and a large surplus left in the hands of the magistrates, unappropriated. The proceeds of this unclaimed property,
with occasional assistance from the public revenue of the State, will forma sufficient fund more effectually to encourage
the vigilance and activity of the several branches of a police, confessedly of great benefit to the whole State of New York.
