Publiziert am 13. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

Studies in History and Jurisprudence Vol. 2 – James Bryce

This volume contains a collection of studies composed at different times over a long series of years. It treats of diverse topics: yet through many of them there runs a common thread, that of a comparison between the history and law of Rome and the history and law of England. The author has handled this comparison from several points of view, applying it in one essay to the growth of the Roman and British Empires, in another to the extension over the world of their respective legal systems, in another to their Constitutions, in others to their legislation, in another to an important branch of their private civil law. The … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

Modern Democracies Vol. 2

Publiziert am 13. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

Modern Democracies Vol. 2 – James Bryce

American political scientists do not need to be told that James Bryce’s work is one of the most important ever written on the principles and practice of democratic government. More than a century has passed since his masterly description and appreciation of the American Commonwealth put him at the head of all students of American government and politics. He has served as a member of three British cabinets, he has been the British ambassador to the United States, and he has traveled to all quarters of the globe, always keenly interested in the institutions of the lands he visited. Now he embodies the ripest fruits of these years of travel and study in … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Holy Roman Empire

Publiziert am 12. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

The Holy Roman Empire – James Bryce

Bryce approached the subject of the Holy Roman Empire from only one angle, but that a very important one. What interested him was to trace the history of the imperial idea from the founding to the termination of the Holy Roman Empire. He was not interested in its actual history save in so far as that narrative illuminated his major thesis. He endeavored to interpret and to evaluate the influence of a great political idea in medieval and modern history. The facts throughout the book were reduced to that minimum necessary to give coherence and cohesiveness to the subject. The only descriptive chapter in the work is that entitled “The city of Rome … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

As a man thinketh

Publiziert am 12. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

As a man thinketh – James Allen

This little volume (the result of meditation and experience) is not intended as an exhaustive treatise on the much-written-upon subject of the power of thought. It is suggestive rather than explanatory, its object being to stimulate men and women to the discovery and perception of the truth that- “They themselves are makers of themselves.” by virtue of the thoughts, which they choose and encourage; that mind is the master-weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness. This edition contains an essay called “James Allen: A prophet Of … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

History of Long Island

Publiziert am 12. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

History of Long Island – Benjamin F. Thompson

Three centuries have scarcely elapsed since this fair isle, now so far advanced in population, business, and wealth, was possessed by a race of men, little more intelligent than the beasts of the forest. Consequently it must be a matter of very considerable importance to trace the progress of Its strange eventful history, mark the revolutions which time has produced, and transmit the details thereof to posterity. A Long Islander by birth and descended from an ancestry coeval with its first settlement by Europeans, the author has been desirous of presenting to his fellow citizens a series of interesting facts and incidents of olden time, of much intrinsic value and highly worthy … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
