History, mythology, folklore-- all presented in this great reprint on witchcraft in Ireland.... Are there really no snakes in Ireland?
This is one of the few books written about Joan of Arc after her canonization by the church.
A look at Lincoln's monetary views, which the author believes had much to do with the tragic end of this great president. This book tells of the Lincoln's struggle to create "greenbacks", a new money that would free the United States from the tyranny of the international bankers. He created them and then was killed for it.
It was the belief of Europe during the Middle Ages, that our globe was the centre of the universe.
The earth, itself fixed and immovable, was encompassed by ten heavens successively encircling one another, and all of these except the highest in constant rotation about their centre.
MARCUS AURELIUS ANTONINUS was born on April 26, A.D. 121. His real name was M. Annius Verus, and he was sprung of a noble family which claimed descent from Numa, second King of Rome. Thus the most religious of emperors came of the blood of the most pious of early kings.
Mithraism, a religion from Persia and India, is probably the original source of Christianity. Franz Cuzont wrote one of the few books investigating the religion of Mithra. Apparently the church covered up this religion to keep us from seeing the truth behind Christianity's origins, and archeology during the Age of Enlightenment reopened this history to us.
A strange Christian view and obsession with occultism in 1875 London. Of all the protean forms of misery that meet us in the bosom of that "stony-hearted stepmother, London," there is none that appeals so directly to our sympathies as the spectacle of a destitute child. In the case of the grown man or woman, sorrow and suffering are often traceable to the faults, or at best to the misfortunes of the sufferers themselves; but in the case of the child they are mostly, if not always, vicarious.
The North American Indian has so long been an object of the deepest interest that the neglect of his picturesque and original mythologies and the tales to which they have given rise is difficult of comprehension.
There is one great basic fact which underlies all the questions that are discussed on the political platform at the present moment. That singular fact is that nothing is done in this country as it was done twenty years ago.
The history of the symbol of the cross has had an attraction for the author ever since, as an enquiring youth, he found himself unable to obtain satisfactory answers to four questions concerning the same which presented themselves to his mind.

Tales from America's FIRST citizens are being lost over time. These tales are probably greater than Aesop's tales in their ability to teach morals and truths through the fabled myths and stories.
Bennett reveals the historical connections between Masonry and Templars.
Are the Indigenous Americans remants of the Phoenicians and the Israelites? A sufficient identity of the Northern native is now required, in order to establish the national distinction between the Aborigines of the two Americas.
I have endeavoured, in a special manner, to show that strict methods should be followed in those archaeological inquiries which are at the same time anthropological, because in them there appears to be a special liability to fail in seeing the whole significance of the observations from which conclusions are drawn as to the antiquity and condition of the so-called Primeval Man.
