The Traditional History Of The Christian Church Has Generally Maintained That The Crusades Were Due Solely To Religious Influence And Sprang From Ideal And Moral Motives: Those Hundreds Of Thousands Of Warriors Who Went Out To The East Were Religious Enthusiasts, Prompted by The Pious Longings Of Their Hearts, And Peter The Hermit, It Was Claimed, Had Received a Divine Message To Call Christendom To Arms, To Preach A Crusade Against The Unbelievers And Take Possession Of The Holy Sepulchre.

While The Prosperity Of A Country Depends Largely Upon Its Productiveness, The Importance Of Proper Facilities For The Expeditious Transportation And Ready Exchange Of Its Various Products Can Scarcely Be Overrated.

1908. This delightful and lively pseudonymous work was in fact written not by herself but by Baron Etienne Leon Lamothe-Langon. The persona created is that of a woman who always tells the truth as she sees it, but it is made clear to the reader that what the narrator sees is very seldom exactly the objective truth. The author ends as well as begins (in the middle of the action), thus creating an illusion of a slice of a journal but simultaneously giving the reader the uneasy feeling that the first and last chapters seem to be missing.

The American Character Is Now Generally Acknowledged to Be The Most Cosmopolitan Of Modern Times; And A Native Of This Country, All Things Being equal, Is Likely To Form A Less Prescriptive Idea Of Other Nations Than The Inhabitants Of Countries Whose Neighborhood And History Unite To Bequeathe And Perpetuate Certain Fixed notions. Before The Frequent Intercourse Now Existing between Europe And The United states, We Derived our Impressions Of The French People, As Well As Of Italian Skies, From English Literature. The Probability Was That Our Earliest Association With The Gallic Race Partook Largely Of The Ridiculous. All The Extravagant Anecdotes Of Morbid Self-Love, Miserly Epicurism, Strained courtesy, And Frivolous Absurdity Current Used to Boast A Frenchman As Their Hero. It Was So In novels, Plays, And After-Dinner Stories. Our First Personal Acquaintance Often Confirmed this Prejudice; For The Chance Was That The One Specimen Of The Grand Nation Familiar To Our Childhood Proved a Poor _Émigré_ Who Gained a Precarious Livelihood As A Dancing-Master, Cook, Teacher, Or Barber, Who Was Profuse Of Smiles, Shrugs, Bows, And Compliments, Prided himself On _La Belle France_, Played the Fiddle, And Took Snuff. A More Dignified view Succeeded, When We Read "Télémaque," So Long An Initiatory Text-Book In The Study Of The Language, Blended as Its Crystal Style Was In our Imaginations With The Pure And Noble Character Of Fénelon.

Fortunate, Indeed, Is The Reader Who Takes Up A Volume Without Preface; Of Which The Persons Are Left To Enact Their Own Drama And The Author Does Not Come Before The Curtain, Like The Chorus Of Greek Tragedy, To Speak For Them. But, In printing the Pages That Follow, It May Seem Needful To Ask That They Be Taken For What They Are; Simple Sketches Of The Inner Life Of "Rebeldom"--Behind Its Chinese Wall Of Wood And Steel--During those Unexampled four Years Of Its Existence.

The Matter Was Originally Collected With The Object Of Sending a Series Of Articles To The _British Medical Journal_. Various Circumstances, However, Of Which The Chief Was The Feeling that Extending experience Altered in many Cases The Views Adopted at First Sight, Prevented the Original Intention From Being Carried into Execution, And The Articles, Considerably Expanded, Are Now Published together.

Horticulture Has A Full Share In the Progressive Character Of the Age. Changes Have Been Effected in the Kitchen Garden Which Are Quite As Remarkable As The Altered methods Of locomotion, Lighting And Sanitation. Vegetables Are Grown In greater Variety, Of higher Quality, And Are Sent To Table Both Earlier And Later In the Season Than Was Considered possible By Gardeners Of former Generations. When Parkinson Directed his Readers To Prepare Melons For Eating By Mixing With The Pulp 'Salt And Pepper And Good Store Of wine,' He Must Have Been Familiar With Fruit Differing Widely From The Superb Varieties Which Are Now In favour. A Kindred plant, The Cucumber, Is More Prolific Than Ever, And The Fruits Win Admiration For Their Symmetrical Form. [more]
