Law History

The making of a last will and testament is one of the most solemn acts of a man's life. Few are so frivolous and indifferent as not to realize the importance of an act which is to live after them, and survive long after the hand that traced it has mingled with its kindred dust. They feel that, however regardless people have been of their sayings and doings, however trivial and unimportant have been their acts in the eyes of others, a certain attention, respect, and weight will be given to so deliberate and serious an act as a man's will.

The Author of the following pages has been urged by numerous friends, and more particularly by his own conscience, to present to the Christian Public a brief account of the people called Gipsies, now wandering in Britain.

If I were asked what, in my opinion, distinguishes the thought of the present day from that of a previous generation, I should feel inclined to say, it is the fact that people are beginning to realize that Thought is a power in itself, one of the great forces of the Universe, and ultimately the greatest of forces, directing all the others.

This book warns from our past about the current consition of US affairs today. Mr. Nock's warnings on the loss of our liberty, our freedoms, our rights haunt us today from his own 'cry' from the wilderness in 1935. An important book for any patriot truthseeker! The true enemy of the people is always the state that has continued unchecked from its 'self-protecting' attitude and starts recreating the tyranny against its own citizens.

A rare look into the philosophies of an even rarer man, the Marquis de Sade, a genius, alchemist, healer, and the origin of the words sadist and sadism.

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.

In ransacking old court records, newspapers, diaries and letters for the historic foundation of the books which I have written on colonial history, I have found and noted much of interest that has not been used or referred to in any of those books. An accumulation of notes on old-time laws, punishments and penalties has evoked this volume. The subject is not a pleasant one, though it often has a humorous element; but a punishment that is obsolete gains an interest and dignity from antiquity and its history becomes endurable because it has a past only and no future. That men were pilloried and women ducked by our law-abiding forbears rouses a thrill of hot indignation which dies down into a dull ember of curiosity when we reflect that they will never be pilloried or ducked again.
