My little two-story house by the Ohashigawa, although dainty as a birdcage,
proved much too small for comfort at the approach of the hot season—
the rooms being scarcely higher than steamship cabins, and so narrow
that an ordinary mosquito-net could not be suspended in them. I
was sorry to lose the beautiful lake view, but I found it necessary to remove
to the northern quarter of the city, into a very quiet Street behind
the mouldering castle. My new home is a katchiu-yashiki, the ancient
residence of some samurai of high rank. It...

But the basin of the Mississippi is the body of the nation. All the other
parts are but members, important in themselves, yet more important in
their relations to this. Exclusive of the Lake basin and of 300,000 square
miles in Texas and New Mexico, which in many aspects form a part of it,
this basin contains about 1,250,000 square miles. In extent it is the
second great valley of the world, being exceeded only by that of the
Amazon. The valley of the frozen Obi approaches it in extent; that of La
Plata comes next in space, and probably in habitable capacity, having
about eight-ninths of its...

Many, Lorenzo, have held and still hold the opinion, that there is nothing
which has less in common with another, and that is so dissimilar, as
civilian life is from the military. Whence it is often observed, if anyone
designs to avail himself of an enlistment in the army, that he soon
changes, not only his clothes, but also his customs, his habits, his voice,
and in the presence of any civilian custom, he goes to pieces; for I do not
believe that any man can dress in civilian clothes who wants to be quick
and ready for any violence; nor can that man have civilian customs...

is customary for such as seek a Prince’s favour, to present themselves
before him with those things of theirs which they themselves most value,
or in which they perceive him chiefly to delight. Accordingly, we often
see horses, armour, cloth of gold, precious stones, and the like costly
gifts, offered to Princes as worthy of their greatness. Desiring in like
manner to approach your Magnificence with some token of my devotion,
I have found among my possessions none that I so much prize and esteem
as a knowledge of the actions of great men, acquired in the course
of a long experience of modern affairs and a continual...

AFTER an unequivocal experience of the inefficiency of the subsisting
federal government, you are called upon to deliberate on a new Constitution
for the United States of America. The subject speaks its own importance;
comprehending in its consequences nothing less than the existence
of the UNION, the safety and welfare of the parts of which it is
composed, the fate of an empire in many respects the most interesting in
the world. It has been frequently remarked that it seems to have been reserved
to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide
the important question, whether societies of men are really capable
or not...

The kindly reception accorded to the first volume of the Historical
Nights Entertainment, issued in December of 1917, has encouraged me to
prepare the second series here assembled.
As in the case of the narratives that made up the first volume, I set out
again with the same ambitious aim of adhering scrupulously in every instance
to actual, recorded facts; and once again I find it desirable at the
outset to reveal how far the achievement may have fallen short of the admitted
aim.
On the whole, I have to confess to having allowed myself perhaps a
wider latitude, and to having taken greater liberties than was the case
with...

In approaching The Historical Nights' Entertainment I set myself the
task of reconstructing, in the fullest possible detail and with all the colour
available from surviving records, a group of more or less famous
events. I would select for my purpose those which were in themselves
bizarre and resulting from the interplay of human passions, and whilst
relating each of these events in the form of a story, I would compel that
story scrupulously to follow the actual, recorded facts without owing
anything to fiction, and I would draw upon my imagination, if at all,
merely as one might employ colour to fill in the outlines which history
leaves...

I would ask you a favour, said the German captain, as we sat in
the cabin of a U-boat which had just been added to the long line of
bedraggled captives which stretched themselves for a mile or more in
Harwich Harbour, in November, 1918.
I made no reply; I had just granted him a favour by allowing him to
leave the upper deck of the submarine, in order that he might await the
motor launch in some sort of privacy; why should he ask for more?
Undeterred by my silence, he continued: I have a great friend,
Lieutenant-zu-See Von Schenk, who brought U.122 over last week; he
has...

.About Shakespeare: William Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564 – died 23 April 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the Bard of Avon (or simply The Bard). His surviving works consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language, and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare was born...

This volume is offered as a guide to history teachers of the high school and the upper grammar grades. It is directly concerned with the teaching methods to be employed in the history period. The author assumes the limiting conditions that surround classroom instruction of the present day; he also takes for granted the teacher's sympathy with modern aims in history instruction. All discussions of purpose and content are therefore subordinated to a clear presentation of the details of effective teaching technique. The reader into whose hands this volume falls will be deeply interested in the ideals of teaching...

The purpose of this book is twofold. We realise to-day, as never before, that the fortunes of the world, and of every individual in it, are deeply affected by the problems of world-politics and by the imperial expansion and the imperial rivalries of the greater states of Western civilisation. But when men who have given no special attention to the history of these questions try to form a sound judgment on them, they find themselves handicapped by the lack of any brief and clear resume of the subject. I have tried, in this book, to provide such a summary,...

In preparing this History, I make no claim to original and profound investigations; but the arrangement, the style, and the sentiments, are my own. I have simply attempted to condense the great and varied subjects which are presented, so as to furnish a connected narrative of what is most vital in the history of the last three hundred years, avoiding both minute details and elaborate disquisitions. It has been my aim to write a book, which should be neither a chronological table nor a philosophical treatise, but a work adapted to the wants of young people in the various...

This volume is based upon my _Ancient History_ and _Mediæval and Modern History_. In some instances I have changed the perspective and the proportions of the narrative; but in the main, the book is constructed upon the same lines as those drawn for the earlier works. In dealing with so wide a range of facts, and tracing so many historic movements, I cannot hope that I have always avoided falling into error. I have, however, taken the greatest care to verify statements of fact, and to give the latest results of discovery and criticism.

Part One Chapter I Scarlett O’Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were. In her face were too sharply blended the delicate features of her mother, a Coast aristocrat of French descent, and the heavy ones of her florid Irish father. But it was an arresting face, pointed of chin, square of jaw. Her eyes were pale green without a touch of hazel, starred with bristly black lashes and slightly tilted at the ends. Above them, her thick black brows slanted upward, cutting a startling oblique line in her...

reprint them.
The essay on Mysticism and Logic appeared in the Hibbert Journal for
July, 1914. The Place of Science in a Liberal Education appeared in two

In dark days, men need a clear faith and a well-grounded hope; and as
the outcome of these, the calm courage which takes no account of hardships
by the way. The times through which we are passing have afforded
to many of us a confirmation of our faith. We see that the things we had
thought evil are really evil, and we know more definitely than we ever
did before the directions in which men must move if a better world is to
arise on the ruins of the one which is now hurling itself into destruction.
We see that men's political dealings with one another are...

THE attempt to conceive imaginatively a better ordering of human
society than the destructive and cruel chaos in which mankind has
hitherto existed is by no means modern: it is at least as old as Plato,
whose Republic set the model for the Utopias of subsequent philosophers.
Whoever contemplates the world in the light of an ideal - whether
what he seeks be intellect, or art, or love, or simple happiness, or all together
- must feel a great sorrow in the evils that men needlessly allow to
continue, and - if he be a man of force and vital energy - an urgent desire
to lead men...

Edwin Abbott Abbott (December 20, 1838 – October 12, 1926), English
schoolmaster and theologian, is best known as the author of the mathematical
satire and religious allegory Flatland (1884). Abbott was the eldest
son of Edwin Abbott (1808–1882), headmaster of the Philological School,
Marylebone, and his wife, Jane Abbott (1806–1882). His parents were
first cousins. He was educated at the City of London School and at St
John's College, Cambridge, where he took the highest honours in classics,
mathematics and theology, and became fellow of his college. In 1862
he took orders....

SUPPOSING that Truth is a woman—what then? Is there not ground for
suspecting that all philosophers, in so far as they have been dogmatists,
have failed to understand women—that the terrible seriousness and
clumsy importunity with which they have usually paid their addresses
to Truth, have been unskilled and unseemly methods for winning a woman?
Certainly she has never allowed herself to be won; and at present
every kind of dogma stands with sad and discouraged mien—IF, indeed,
it stands at all! For there are scoffers who maintain that it has fallen, that
all dogma lies on the ground—nay more, that it is at its last gasp....

The first sketches for “The Will to Power” were made in 1884, soon
after the publication of the first three parts of “Thus Spake Zarathustra,”
and thereafter, for four years, Nietzsche piled up notes. They were written
at all the places he visited on his endless travels in search of
health—at Nice, at Venice, at Sils-Maria in the Engadine (for long his favourite
resort), at Cannobio, at Zürich, at Genoa, at Chur, at Leipzig.
Several times his work was interrupted by other books, first by “Beyond
Good and Evil,” then by “The Genealogy of Morals” (written in twenty
days), then by his Wagner pamphlets. Almost as often he...

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (29 May 1874 – 14 June 1936) was one of the
most influential English writers of the 20th century. His prolific and diverse
output included journalism, philosophy, poetry, biography, Christian
apologetics, fantasy and detective fiction. Chesterton has been called
the prince of paradox. Time magazine, in a review of a biography of
Chesterton, observed of his writing style: Whenever possible Chesterton
made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories—first carefully
turning them inside out. For example, Chesterton wrote the following:
Thieves respect property....

Pantheism differs from the systems of belief constituting the main religions
of the world in being comparatively free from any limits of period,
climate, or race. For while what we roughly call the Egyptian Religion,
the Vedic Religion, the Greek Religion, Buddhism, and others of similar
fame have been necessarily local and temporary, Pantheism has been, for
the most part, a dimly discerned background, an esoteric significance of
many or all religions, rather than a “denomination” by itself. The best illustration
of this characteristic of Pantheism is the catholicity of its great
prophet Spinoza. For he felt so little antagonism to any Christian sect,
that he never urged any...

THERE ARE few circumstances among those which make up the present
condition of human knowledge, more unlike what might have been expected,
or more significant of the backward state in which speculation on
the most important subjects still lingers, than the little progress which
has been made in the decision of the controversy respecting the criterion
of right and wrong. From the dawn of philosophy, the question concerning
the summum bonum, or, what is the same thing, concerning the
foundation of morality, has been accounted the main problem in speculative
thought, has occupied the most gifted intellects, and divided them
into sects and schools, carrying on a vigorous warfare...

.About Okakura: Okakura Kakuzō (February 14, 1863 - September 2, 1913) was a Japanese scholar who contributed the development of arts in Japan. Outside Japan, he is chiefly remembered today as the author of The Book of Tea. Born in Yokohama to parents originally from Fukui, he attended Tokyo Imperial University, where he first met and studied under Ernest Fenollosa. In 1890, Okakura was one of the principal founders of the first Japanese fine-arts academy, Tokyo bijutsu gakko (Tokyo School of Fine Arts) and a year later became the head, though he was...

Mary Wollstonecraft (27 April 1759 – 10 September 1797) was an
eighteenth-century British writer, philosopher, and feminist. During her
brief career, she wrote novels, treatises, a travel narrative, a history of the
French Revolution, a conduct book, and a children's book. Wollstonecraft
is best known for A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), in which
she argues that women are not naturally inferior to men, but appear to
be only because they lack education. She suggests that both men and women
should be treated as rational beings and imagines a social order
founded on reason. Among the general public and specifically among
feminists, Wollstonecraft's life has received much...

Miyamoto Musashi (c.1584–June 13 (Japanese calendar: May 19), 1645),
also known as Shinmen Takezō, Miyamoto Bennosuke, or by his
Buddhist name Niten Dōraku was a famous Japanese samurai, and is
considered by many to have been one of the most skilled swordsmen in
history. Musashi, as he is often simply known, became legendary
through his outstanding swordsmanship in numerous duels, even from a
very young age. He is the founder of the Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū or Nitenryū
style of swordsmanship and the author of The Book of Five Rings, a
book on strategy, tactics, and philosophy that is still studied today.
