Patriots and governments of the Western world claim their foundations in Roman Civil Law. Find out exactly what some of those 'Roman' laws were and how they were applied. The legal history of Rome begins properly with the Twelve Tables. It is strictly the first and the only Roman code, collecting the earliest known laws of the Roman people and forming the foundation of the whole fabric of Roman Law.
The Lone Star's History never fails to inspire those who study and understand the great hardships that were endured to secure Texas' place in history.
Swedenborg, a mystic Christian, views the religion of Christ with a more encompassing view of life and nature than fundamentalist illiteracy. His studies and views still confound scholars and theologians.
The Unrevealed History: 100 Historical Mysteries Explained. This Major General of the Russian anti-Bolshevik Army sheds light on the earlier stages of enslavement and destruction of Christianity which remains hidden and unabated in the present day U.S. and the world.
The earliest knowledge of the existence of the sedentary Indians in New Mexico and Arizona reached Europe by way of Mexico proper; but it is very doubtful whether or not the aborigines of Mexico had any positive information to impart about countries lying north of the present State of Queretaro.

With the firm conviction that the Pyramids of Egypt were built and employed, among other purposes, for one special, main, and important purpose of the greatest utility and convenience, I find it necessary before I can establish the theory I advance, to endeavor to determine the proportions and measures of one of the principal groups.

This book is a factual analysis of a crucial period in American history and the malicious methods which struck down the Great Emancipator. Nowhere else can be found, in one small volume, the
connected presentation of the story leading up to the death of President Abraham Lincoln and those responsible for bringing about his assassination.
This book had its origin on this wise. In my Irish Witchcraft and Demonology, published in October 1913, I inserted a couple of famous 17th century ghost stories which described how lawsuits were set on foot at the instigation of most importunate spirits. It then occurred to me that as far as I knew there was no such thing in existence as a book of Irish ghost stories. Books on Irish fairy and folk-lore there were in abundance-some of which could easily be spared-but there was no book of ghosts. And so I determined to supply this sad omission.
A hard to find book from 1886, republished by TGS. A look at mythical monsters and other myths from a scientific point of view, without the myth and fear behind the monster stories.
A study and observation of the catacombs at the turn of the last century
This timely reprint is needed in this era of the U.S. illegal wars and illegal invasions of two nations, without provokation. Uncanny and without justification is Christianity's almost unanimous and carte blanche approval of the Bush Wars, under the flag of the cross, to many of the religious right pundits.
