The Vedic Hymns are among the most interesting portions of Hindoo literature. In form and spirit they resemble both the poems of the Hebrew psalter and the lyrics of Pindar. They deal with the most elemental religious conceptions and are full of the imagery of nature.
Sam Houston, the Revolutionary Hero of Texas, a rabble-rouser, a frontiersman, a politician, lawyer, statesman, anti-slavery, peace-maker, warrior, governor, senator, president, Freemason, lover, dueler, and more... Even George Washington pales in comparison to this Texian Hero.

As the Roman territory increased, republican principles were corrupted; and an absolute monarchy was established long before the republican phraseology was abolished.
In 1515, Thomas More published Utopia, in which he theorized about the perfect world. In Utopia, More foresaw cities of 100,000 inhabitants as being ideal. In his Utopia, there was no money, just a monthly market where citizens bartered for what they needed. Persons engaged to each other were allowed to see each other naked before marriage so that they would know if the other was "deformed".
Variously a parish helper to the London poor and a successful New Zealand sheep farmer, Samuel Butler did not treasure the attitudes of his time (the second half of the 19th century). His books were iconoclastic in their attitudes towards Victorian ideals and The Way of All Flesh is foremost among them. It is appropriate, then, that it was published after his death and Queen Victoria's, in 1903.
Historical sketches of witchcraft and magic in England and Scotland. Study into England's famous magicians John Dee, Roger Bacon, and William Lily.
The Middle East continues to occupy current events, and Iran is becoming a forerunner in all the debates. Iran is also one of the foremost nations preserving its ancient history and supporting archeology in discovering its past. Zoroaster and his relgion that followed had a major impact on Persia, and more than likely the entire civilized world.

2 books in 1 volume: Most studies show that nearly all religions originated in India, and what we see today are mere variants of those early religions of mankind. Buddhism is no different. Its moral dogmas have been copied into many other religions and portions of the life of Buddha himself have be re-created under the names of other prophets and gods. There is nothing new under the sun. This is a massive study of Buddha and Buddhist beliefs.
Troward's contributions to the explanation of what he calls "Mental Science" are models of clarity,
and I have myself found them most helpful in sorting and crystallising my own thoughts on
"spiritual" matters.
