Excerpt: ... one after the other, like a feu de joie, the instant the priest has said the benediction. A greater gun is often put in the middle or end, according to the fancy of different churches. One night at Catania I heard a drum and two clarionets, followed by a rabble, shouting and throwing up squibs and fireworks. 'What is this?' 'Per la gloria della Vergine.' ' Della Vergine? ' ' Signer, si, della immaculate.' When I reached Syracuse, it was the first of thirteen days' festa in honour of Santa Lucia. 600 ' maschi' were let off in the piazza. As the Sicilian gentry are great sportsmen, they send their steeds to face the battery, for if they stand this they will not easily flinch from a gun. So the groom rides up, and the town boys stand behind with whips and switches to prevent a retreat. As they stand a good chance of a kick, and hope to see the grooms thrown, they are never tired of this sport. The horse rears and plunges his nose in the smoke, with the noisy mob behind, and I could not help thinking what religious associations the lads must acquire in regard to ' maschi.' From Lentini to MelilJi. I had a letter to the vicar, a brother-member of the Geronian Society. His invitation to sleep there was such as I did not choose to accept. The room I got (for inn there was none) was a queer place, and everything to be begged and borrowed but the bed. Next day I found that a crater discovered by the priest was a circular valley cut out of limestone strata, with three veins of volcanic rock through them. I must write to Dr. Gemellaro, for if he publishes this in the transactions of a Society at the foot of Etna, it will be a joke against them they will never get over. Went to Sortino, to see grottoes of Pentalica, where a vast population once...

Bunbury Bart, Vol. 2: With an Introductory Note by Sir Joseph Hooker, C. B., G. C. S. I Then as we passed through the town, our eyes were caught at every moment by remarkable plants and beautiful flowers in all the gardens: the most splendid blue Ipomeas and orange Bignonias covering the trellises and hanging over the garden walls; the Poinsettia and the Datura arborea in profuse bloom in the open ground; Bananas, Coffee bushes, and all sorts of tropical plants, except Palms, of which I see but few. We, the Lyells and ourselves, have hired for a week a set of rooms in the house of a Portu guese merchant; very pleasant rooms, spacious, very clean and very airy, in a fine Situation. The View from our Sitting-room windows is indeed glorious, ranging over the steep Slopes covered with gardens of Eden-like luxuriance, interspersed with bright, gay villas like those of Genoa, to the wild, dark, rugged mountains, whose tops are lost in the clouds, while in another direction the sea comes in to complete the View. Madeira is even more beautiful than my recol lections pictured it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Correspondence, Vol. 1 of 2: Of Sir Bartle Frere, Bart I have always felt, that of those who wrote and spoke most strongly against the course I had taken in South Africa, some did so in blind reliance on party leaders, and all from very imperfect knowledge of facts, and I felt sure that in time, though not perhaps in my time, my country men here would do me the same justice as they who live in South Africa have done me from the first. Thus Sir Bartle Frere wrote to a friend about a year before his death. To do him this justice, nothing but a plain statement of facts is needed. That such a statement was not and could not be made in his lifetime is due to several causes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Letters of Peter and Susan Lesley, Vol. 2 of 2 MY father had been for some time failing in health. Whether the excitement of his three delightful months in Boston, was more than his always delicate nervous organiza tion could endure, or whether there were other causes, the fact is clear that soon after his return to Philadelphia in the spring of 1866 he became very ill. He then planned to go abroad for a few months, but as summer approached he became stronger and gave up the idea. All through this season, however, he continued to suffer much with distressing nervous and brain symptoms, and also with bodily weakness, until it was evident that rest from mental labor must be had at any cost. My mother sought the advice of the best physicians in Philadelphia, and each' counselled an entire abandonment of work, change of scene, and a mild climate. Difficult as it was to afford such things, my mother decided at once that they must be obtained. After a few days of preparation they sailed on October 6, for Havre, in the Ville de Paris, in the hope that a year of absence from all that could remind him of his work, might restore his powers.

Download or read book Origins written by Ariel Adrean Roth and published by Review and Herald Pub Assoc. This book was released on 1998 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are the worlds of science and religion irreconcilable? Has modern science with its theory of evolution disproved the biblical account of the origin of life? If one accepts the biblical account of origins, does one then have to reject science? Scientist and Christian believer Ariel A. Roth argues that taken together, science and religion give us a more complete and sensible understanding of the world around us, our place in it, and our ultimate meaning and fate. Roth examines such topics as the evidence for evolution and creation, the Flood, the strengths and limitations of the scientific method, and the reliability of Scripture. He concludes that the biblical model of a recent creation by God leaves fewer unanswered questions then either science's evolutionary model or any view between the two positions, such as progressive creation or theistic evolution. - Back cover.
