Another Silly Game Part 27

1. Please play on the most recent correct post.

2. The title of the book cited must have one word, at least, which is the same as a word in the previous title.

3. The repeated word in the new title must be other than an article ("a", "an", or "the").

4. The repeated word must be spelled exactly as the word was spelled in the previous title. E.g., "prune" is not the same word as "prunes", and "loyal" is not the same word as "loyalty."

5. The repeated word must be in the title as shown on the title page of the book--not, e.g., part of the series name unless such is part of the title as shown on the title page.

6. If you have read the book it would be informative that you so indicate and tell when you read it, if you can.

7. Try to use Touchstones. Put brackets around the title and double brackets around the author. If Touchstones don't work, try using an html link.

8. A hyphenated word is one word, not two: e.g., "thunder-clouds"; and if used must be repeated in full, not in part only.

9. Please verify that no one else has posted while you were preparing your post.

#216: Yes, it's because of the possessive.

The End of the World News, by Anthony Burgess, who is always wonderful.

An apologie of the povver and prouidence of God in the gouernment of the world. Or An examination and censure of the common errour touching natures perpetuall and vniuersall decay : diuided into foure bookes: whereof the first treates of this pretended decay in generall, together with some preparatiues thereunto. The second of the pretended decay of the heauens and elements, together with that of the elementary bodies, man only excepted. The third of the pretended decay of mankinde in regard of age and duration, of strength and stature, of arts and wits. The fourth of this pretended decay in matter of manners, together with a large proofe of the future consummation of the world from the testimony of the gentiles, and the vses which we are to draw from the consideration thereof by George Hakewill

This entry will probably win the prize for the longest title. Because the book was published in 1627, many of the words are spelled differently than they are now. Nevertheless, the title plays on the word "world" from #221 and the word "man" from #194.
