The moral virtues are the foundation and support of prosperity as they are the soul of greatness. They endure for ever. A great gift for a graduating son or daughter.
EIGHT years' wanderings in Ceylon have created a love for this beautiful island which can only be equaled by my affection for Old England from which the independence of a wild life, combined with an infatuation for rambling into every unvisited nook and corner, sentenced me to a term of voluntary exile.
As early as 1820 it was known in Europe that in Middle Egypt, on the east bank of the Nile, in the district between Minieh and Siut, there lay the remains of a great city of Ancient Egypt.
John Kasson was a Congressman from Iowa that fully understood the failures and misery caused by 'so-called' free trade.
A study into the true character of Jesus (Yeshua) based on the only extant copy of the the Hebrew language Matthew and the archeological discovery of 'Moses Seat'. (From Israel)
Sæmund, son of Sigfus, the reputed collector of the poems bearing his name, which is sometimes also called the Elder, and the Poetic, Edda, was of a highly distinguished family, being descended in a direct line from King Harald Hildetonn. He was born at Oddi, his paternal dwelling in the south of Iceland, between the years 1054 and 1057, or about 50 years after the establishment by law of the Christian religion in that island; hence it is easy to imagine that many heathens, or baptized favourers of the old mythic songs of heathenism, may have lived in his days and imparted to him the lays of the times of old, which his unfettered mind induced him to hand down to posterity.
The tubs, which I have now in use for nearly three years are made of wood, and I find them to answer very well. It must not be forgotten, however, that a wooden tub requires to be well painted on the inside, in order to prevent its becoming water-soaked, because in that event it would become a conductor of electricity, and interfere to some extent, with the administration of the electric current in the bath.
CONSIDERABLE parts of this book have been written for the unlearned. For the scholarly reader such parts, of course, would be wholly superfluous; yet it is hoped that they to whom these are familiar will be patient in passing through them for the sake of others to whom they may be instructive.
A Republished How-To book as part of a collection for urban survival by TGS Publishing. This is not just a general theory book on electricity, as it includes many experiments and diagrams for practical applications. Electricity, like every science, presents two phases to the student, one belonging to a theoretical knowledge, and the other which pertains to the practical application of that knowledge. The boy is directly interested in the practical use which he can make of this wonderful phenomenon in nature.
Rural farms were not always on the 'grid' and this book shows several methods employed to produce the electricity needed for their homes and farms. These methods could again be used to furnish energy in the event of an emergency or disaster, or even to get off the electric company's swindle.
Study the most primitive and simple religion which is actually known, to make an analysis of it, and to attempt an explanation of it. A religious system may be said to be the most primitive which we can observe when it fulfils the two following conditions: in the first place, when it is found in a society whose organization is surpassed by no others in simplicity;1 and secondly, when it is possible to explain it without making use of any element borrowed from a previous religion.
To comprehend the significance of great world changes, before Time has fully done his work, is difficult. While mighty events are still in their formative period the future is obscure. But our inability to outline the future cannot blind us to the unmistakable trend of the evolutionary forces at work. One thing that is clear is that our boasted Christian civilization is the theater in which has been staged the most un-Christian war of recorded history and in which human atrocity has reached a point that leaves us vaguely groping for a rational explanation of it.
In times of recession, depression, or simply trying to save a few buck, many maintenance chores, such as plumbing, can be accomplished by the most inexperienced home owner, or the less than handy-man. All you need is a basic understanding of what the plumbing is trying to do, and the instructions on how you can repair it. This reprint is excellent at explaining the principles of plumbing.
While we call these ancient cults and myths, these beliefs were just as real, just as fact, just as truth as Christianity or Islam is to their adherents today.
A quick look at the rites and practices of the Eleusinian religion.
