Description

The present book is intended, as far as possible, to give an exactinsight into the theory of Relativity to those readers who, from ageneral scientific and philosophical point of view, are interestedin the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematicalapparatus of theoretical physics. The work presumes a standard ofeducation corresponding to that of a university matriculationexamination, and, despite the shortness of the book, a fair amountof patience and force of will on the part of the reader. The authorhas spared himself no pains in his endeavour to present the mainideas in the simplest and most intelligible form, and on the whole,in the sequence and connection in which they actually originated.In the interest of clearness, it appeared to me inevitable that Ishould repeat myself frequently, without paying the slightestattention to the elegance of the presentation. I adheredscrupulously to the precept of that brilliant theoretical physicistL. Boltzmann, according to whom matters of elegance ought to beleft to the tailor and to the cobbler. I make no pretence of havingwithheld from the reader difficulties which are inherent to thesubject. On the other hand, I have purposely treated the empiricalphysical foundations of the theory in a "step-motherly" fashion, sothat readers unfamiliar with physics may not feel like the wandererwho was unable to see the forest for the trees. May the book bringsome one a few happy hours of suggestive thought!

1. Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vitalimportance to the State.2. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety orto ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no accountbe neglected.3. The art of war, then, is governed by five constant factors,to be taken into account in one's deliberations, when seeking todetermine the conditions obtaining in the field.4. These are: (1) The Moral Law; (2) Heaven; (3) Earth; (4) TheCommander; (5) Method and discipline.

The pageants of the old English town-guilds,and the other mysteries and interludes that follow, have still anuncommon reality about them if we take them in the spirit in whichthey were originally acted. Their office as the begetters of thegreater literary drama to come, and their value as early records,have, since Sharp wrote his Dissertation on the Coventry Mysteriesin 1816, been fully illustrated. But they have hardly yet reachedthe outside reader who looks for life and not for literary originsand relations in what he reads. This is a pity, for these old playshide under their archaic dress the human interest that all dramaticart, no matter how crude, can claim when it is touched with ourreal emotions and sensations. They are not only a primitivereligious drama, born of the church and its feasts; they are thegenuine expression of the town life of the English people when itwas still lived with some exuberance of spirits and communalpleasure. As we read them, indeed, though it be in cold blood, weare carried out of our book, and set in the street or market-squareby the side of the "commons and countrymen," as in the day whenWhitsuntide, or Corpus Christi, brought round the annual pageantryto Chester, Coventry, York, and other towns.
HISTORY OF THE WORLD 0.1 icon
HISTORY OF THE WORLD 0.1 APK

THE story of our world is a story that isstill very imperfectly known. A couple of hundred years ago menpossessed the history of little more than the last three thousandyears. What happened before that time was a matter of legend andspeculation. Over a large part of the civilized world it wasbelieved and taught that the world had been created suddenly in4004 B.C., though authorities differed as to whether this hadoccurred in the spring or autumn of that year. This fantasticallyprecise misconception was based upon a too literal interpretationof the Hebrew Bible, and upon rather arbitrary theologicalassumptions connected therewith. Such ideas have long since beenabandoned by religious teachers, and it is universally recognizedthat the universe in which we live has to all appearances existedfor an enormous period of time and possibly for endless time. Ofcourse there may be deception in these appearances, as a room maybe made to seem endless by putting mirrors facing each other ateither end. But that the universe in which we live has existed onlyfor six or seven thousand years may be regarded as an altogetherexploded idea.

We have long wished that some English orforeign university would offer a prize for a history of Magic andWitchcraft. The records of human opinion would contain few chaptersmore instructive than one which should deal competently with theBlack Art. For gross and painful as the details of superstition maybe, yet superstition, by its very etymology, implies a dogma or asystem of practice standing upon some basis of fact or truth: andhowever vain or noxious the superstructure may be, the foundationof it is in some way connected with those deep verities upon whichrest also the roots of philosophy and religion.

During the last years of his life, ProfessorMorgan had devoted much time and energy to the preparation of atranslation of Vitruvius, which he proposed to supplement with arevised text, illustrations, and notes. He had completed thetranslation, with the exception of the last four chapters of thetenth book, and had discussed, with Professor Warren, theillustrations intended for the first six books of the work; thenotes had not been arranged or completed, though many of them wereoutlined in the manuscript, or the intention to insert themindicated. The several books of the translation, so far as it wascompleted, had been read to a little group of friends, consistingof Professors Sheldon and Kittredge, and myself, and had receivedour criticism, which had, at times, been utilized in the revisionof the work.

From early days when the ancients showed theirappreciation of fine pottery and old glassware by burying “thesemost esteemed possessions” with the dead, fine china has beensynonymous with culture and breeding. With our ancestors forgenerations we share the tradition that, just as first editionsgive prestige to one’s book shelves, old china or the finest workof the modern kilns express readily that good taste anddiscrimination that is characteristic of our old families.

AN ENGLISH GRAMMAR 1.0 APK

Of making many English grammars there is noend; nor should there be till theoretical scholarship and actualpractice are more happily wedded. In this field much valuable workhas already been accomplished; but it has been done largely byworkers accustomed to take the scholar's point of view, and theirwritings are addressed rather to trained minds than to immaturelearners. To find an advanced grammar unencumbered with hard words,abstruse thoughts, and difficult principles, is not altogether aneasy matter. These things enhance the difficulty which an ordinaryyouth experiences in grasping and assimilating the facts ofgrammar, and create a distaste for the study. It is therefore theleading object of this book to be both as scholarly and aspractical as possible. In it there is an attempt to presentgrammatical facts as simply, and to lead the student to assimilatethem as thoroughly, as possible, and at the same time to do awaywith confusing difficulties as far as may be.
