What I have done with birds – Gene Stratton-Porter

A fantastic work about the birds in the Limberlost swamp area in Indiana, USA. The book contains a wealth of character studies of native American birds as through friendly advances the author could induce to pose for her. Both text and pictures, of which there are almost forty in this edition, display an intimacy with the home life, the moods, the manners and customs of birds.

At the Foot of the Rainbow – Gene Stratton-Porter

Mrs. Gene Stratton-Porter has carried out this idea and really unearthed a “Crock of Gold” for the lover of the beautiful in fiction. It is a charming tale of the two greatest things in the world, Love and Friendship, with delicate pen pictures of “God’s Country” interwoven. The touch of nature that makes the whole world kin was never better exemplified than in this story of Dannie, Jimmy and Mary, who lived and loved by the banks of the Wabash. A book to be thankful for and to remember all one’s life.

Freckles

Publiziert am 26. Mai 2017 von Jazzybee

Freckles – Gene Stratton-Porter

Freckles, a nameless Irish waif when the story opens, moved by the power of a mighty love, takes hold of his life, performs deeds of heroism in his guardianship of the Limberlost timber leases, and at length, through the help of the woman he loves, comes into possession of his name and patrimony. Other characters, only a little less interesting, are McLean, a member of the Grand Rapids Lumber Co., Freckles’ friend and boss; Lord O’More, who seeks a lost relative and finds him in the hero, and Black Jack, a handsome villian, whose thought of repentance comes too late.

Encyclopedia Of Freemasonry And Its Kindred Sciences Volume 4: S-Z – Albert G. Mackey

Dr. Albert G. Mackey appears as author of this ” Encyclopedia of Freemasonry and its Kindred Sciences,” which, being a library in inself, superseded most of the Masonic works which have been tolerated by the craft — chiefly because none better could be obtained. Here is a work which fulfils the hope which sustained the author through ten years’ literary labor, that, under one cover he “would furnish every Mason who might consult its pages the means of acquiring a knowledge of all matters connected with the science, the philosophy, and the history of his order.”

The Complete Jataka Tales

Publiziert am 24. Mai 2017 von Jazzybee

The Complete Jataka Tales – Edward Byles Cowell

The Jatakas, or Birth-stories, form one of the sacred books of the Buddhists and relate to the adventures of the Buddha in his former existences, the best character in any story being identified with the Master. These legends were continually introduced into the religious discourses of the Buddhist teachers to illustrate the doctrines of their faith or to magnify the sanctity of the Buddha, somewhat as medieval preachers in Europe used to enliven their sermons by introducing fables and popular tales to rouse the flagging interest of their hearers.

The Meaning Of Masonry

Publiziert am 24. Mai 2017 von Jazzybee

The Meaning Of Masonry – W. L. Wilmshurst

The five essays contained in this book are offered in the best spirit of fraternity and goodwill and with the wish to render to the Order some small return for the profit the author has received from his association with it extending over thirty-two years. They have been written with a view to promoting the deeper understanding of the meaning of Masonry; to providing the explanation of it that one constantly hears called for and that becomes all the more necessary in view of the unprecedented increase of interest in, and membership of, the Order at the present day.
