The passionate love with which the Nahuas cultivated song, music and the dance is a subject of frequent comment by the historians of Mexico. These arts are invariably mentioned as prominent features of the aboriginal civilization; no public ceremony was complete without them; they were indispensable in the religious services held in the temples; through their assistance the sacred and historical traditions were preserved; and the entertainments of individuals received their chief lustre and charm from their association with these arts.
How much paganism was adopted, invited, or crept into the Christian rites and rituals over 2000 years? This book proves that there are many.
Ever heard of the round towers of Peru? Stone Circles? or Henges?
The ETRUSCANS at the time when Roman history begins were a powerful and warlike race, superior to the Italians in civilization and the arts of life. They probably came from the north, and at first settled in the plain of the Po; but being afterwards dislodged by the invading Gauls, they moved farther south, into Etruria.
Town-planning-the art of laying out towns with due care for the health and comfort of inhabitants, for industrial and commercial efficiency, and for reasonable beauty of buildings-is an art of intermittent activity. It belongs to special ages and circumstances. For its full unfolding two conditions are needed. The age must be one in which, whether through growth, or through movements of population, towns are being freely founded or freely enlarged, and almost as a matter of course attention is drawn to methods of arranging and laying out such towns. And secondly, the builders of these towns must have wit enough to care for the well-being of common men and the due arrangement of ordinary dwellings. That has not always happened. In many lands and centuries-in ages where civilization has been tinged by an under-current of barbarism-one or both of these conditions have been absent.
Those who have learned a little of the Ancient Wisdom know the illumination, the peace, the joy, the strength, its lessons have brought into their lives. That this book may win some to use its teachings, and to prove for themselves their value, is the prayer with which it is sent forth into the world.
This famous Theosophist studies into the Ancient Wisdom and knowledge upon which Theosophy was originally founded upon.
Many translations of various parts of the Bible have been lost to the common man, reader, and researcher. Some are only available in privately owned collections. We try to keep as many as possible in print for our clients. The Greek manuscript was discovered at St. Catherine's Monastery on Mount Sinai by Constantine Tischendorf in 1844. The original manuscript is now preserved by the Petrograd Library in Russia. Anderson's is one of the few, if not the only, English translation of this manuscript.

The reader will find in this book a firm assurance of God's care of mankind as a whole and of each human being. The assurance is rested in God's infinite love and wisdom, the love pure mercy, the wisdom giving love its ways and means. It is further grounded in an interpretation of the universe as a spiritual-natural world, an interpretation fully set forth in the earlier book, Divine Love and Wisdom, on which the present work draws heavily.

Man knows that there is such a thing as love, but he does not know what love is. He knows that there is such a thing as love from common speech, as when it is said, he loves me, a king loves his subjects, and subjects love their king, a husband loves his wife, a mother her children, and conversely; also, this or that one loves his country, his fellow citizens, his neighbor; and likewise of things abstracted from person, as when it is said, one loves this or that thing.

The more one studies about the President of the USA, Thomas Jefferson, the more you find he was indeed a great man with many talent and interests. Here Mr. Jefferson authors a teaching text for learning the Anglo Saxon language in its English context.
This little book is an attempt to give a brief sketch of Britain under the early English conquerors, rather from the social than from the political point of view. For that purpose not much has been said about the doings of kings and statesmen; but attention has been mainly directed towards the less obvious evidence afforded us by existing monuments as to the life and mode of thought of the people themselves.
Study of Anglo-Saxon law is a precursor to English Common Law. It is important to understand that Anglo-Saxon law is thousands of years old and has evolved during that time to 'fit' the Anglo-Saxon race. For Anglos, laws originating from this system seem natural and normal, but for other races or civilizations the Anglo-Saxon system is foreign, unweildy, and unjust to non-Anglos.
