Book excerpt: Excerpt from Malta, Under the Phenicians, Knights, and English A sea voyage is either beneficial or injurious to health, according to the way in which the voyagers treat themselves. It is desirable to spend as much time as possible on deck in the open air, and to walk about for at least several hours daily. If travelling in winter, or in a rough sea, for any length of time, goloshes are of great service for protecting the feet from the water, which is sure to be often lying about on the deck, either from being dashed over by the waves, or from being thrown down by the sailors while washing it; and which of course takes a long time to dry in cloudy weather. A more than ordinary tendency to indulge in sleep in the mornings is often felt on shipboard; and, if this is resisted, it will be found a material source of health and comfort afterwards.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Knights of Malta: Or the Order of St. John of Jerusalem I would also observe that as the chronicles on which most of the earlier part of the narrative is based are written in either French or Italian, the proper names, as therein given, have been sometimes woefully distorted. More particularly is this the case where these are English. As far as possible, the attempt has been made to suggest the real names referred to, but in many instances this is practically impossible, and I have been coni pelled to retain the foreign nomenclature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Achievements of the Knights of Malta, Vol. 1 of 2 Though the days of chivalry are gone, the author of the following work trusts that the admiration of martial renown is still sufficiently general to secure some degree of favour for a history of the achievements of one of the most illustrious institutions that originated in knightly daring and pious zeal. Scarcely thirty years have elapsed, since foreign violence and political craft, combined with their own degeneracy, deprived the Knights of Malta of their independence, and ejected them from the insular fastness which remains to this day, and will remain, to the latest posterity, a monument of their military skill; yet, in that short space of time, so completely has their name been blotted from the records of the day, that their very place of retreat has become, generally speaking, a matter of uncertainty.

Download or read book Knights of Malta 1523 1798 Classic Reprint written by Reuben Cohen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Knights of Malta, 1523-1798 The Hospitallers had realised, as early as 1300, that their former r61e of mounted Knights fighting on land was gone for ever. From their seizure of Rhodes, in 1310, they became predominantly sea men, whose. flag, with its eight-pointed cross, struck terror into every infidel heart. Nothing but a combination of Christian monarchs could cope with the superiority of the Turk on land: by sea he was still vulnerable. The Knights took up their new part with all their old energy and determination: it is but typical that henceforward we never hear of the Knights of Malta fighting as cavalry. After various adventures the fleet found itself united at Messina, whence it proceeded to Baiae. The election to the papacy of the Cardinal de' Medici - one of their own Order - as Clement VIL, gave the Knights a powerful protector. He assigned Viterbo as a residence for the Order till a permanent home had been discovered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Malta and the Knights Hospitallers Hagiar Kim - the stone of Veneration - is the most accessible and best preserved of these vestiges of hoary eld. We can only carry back its modern history to the excavation in the year 1839, when the soil and stones accumulated during centuries of neglect were first cleared away with unfortunately hardly adequate precaution - nevertheless the seven statuettes of sandstone, preserved in the museum at Valletta, were found here - images which are identified with the Kabiri, worshipped in Lemnos as the ancient workers in metal - though these, figures fat as Tunisian Jewesses, seated on the ground like Chinese poussahs, headless, but with holes and sockets which indicate that a nodding neck was fitted into the vacant place, have assuredly, as M. Darcel notes, more to do with Ceres than with Vulcan, with abundance and fertility than with subterranean toil. There is also preserved in the museum an altar, and the sacred slab ornamented with an egg-shaped figure between two volutes symbolising the Universe. Later excavations carried out by the Director of Education, Dr. Caruana, have developed the complete plan of the temple, and ascertained the mode of its construction. The gigantic slabs of stone employed in the external walls, and the traces of the oracular chamber, the enclosures for the animals used in sacrifice, and other details, plainly connect it with the Sidonian period of architecture and worship; and the discovery of a little image of Astarte (astaroth) supplies a link of additional certainty.
