Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Institutions, Manners and Customs of the Ancient Nations, Vol. 2 The name of Germans was not the ancient and primitive name of this people. It was given them by the Gauls, who inhabited the country hear the left coast of the Rhine, and who having felt the effects of their valour, expressed, by this appellation, the terror with which they had been struck by these men of war. - For that is the signification of the word German. The conquerors adopted a name which redounded so much to their glory; and by the Romans, who took it from the Gauls, the use of it was confirmed: and it has been famous for many ages.

Download or read book Jewish Nation written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jewish Nation: Containing an Account of Their Manners and Customs, Rites and Worship, Laws and Polity The manners and customs of the ancient Jews, and other nations mentioned in the Bible, differed very much from those of Europe and America at the present time. On this account it is not easy for a modern reader to understand some passages of Scripture. Hence many things in the Bible seem very strange to those who do not know the man ner in which people in the East lived in former times. Nor do the beauty and importance of many texts appear, unless What is alluded to in them is known. The eastern manners and customs of old times may be explained from two sources -1. From the ancient writers of other nations, who have described the customs of former times. Their works contain many passages which confirm the accounts given in the Bible, and nothing which really contradicts them when carefully examined. Learned men have clearly proved this. Nor should we forget, that a great part of the Old Testament was written many hundred years before any other book now in existence - 2. Much also may be learned from modern travelers, who have vi sited the places mentioned in the Bible, and other countries of the East. People live there now very much in the same manner as they did in the times about which we read in the Bible, which were from two to six' thousand years ago. The books of eastern travelers now are full of such state ments; many are given in this volume, but they are only a small part of what might have been stated. Perhaps some travelers have gone too far, and mention as illustrations Of the Bible what are not really such. Also the rites and ceremonies of the Jewish religion are too often carelessly passed by, from ignorance as to many of the particulars, which are very interesting when explained by the customs of the ancient Jews, or by the accounts of their own writers who lived about the time of our Saviour. The laws and polity, or the political institutions of the Jews, contain much that is very important to be known, but which is not noticed by common readers; here, also, a knowledge of the manners and customs is of much use. All these things will be found interesting when inquired into. The design of this volume is to induce the reader so to study his Bible; and all who read it Should examine the texts noticed. It would have been easy to refer to a great many other texts, but most who read this book can look at a Concordance, or, if young persons, it is a good exercise to examine for themselves, and thus to be led to search the Scriptures. For this reason, as well as to save space, the texts are seldom given at great length in this volume. If that had been done, the book would have been doubled in size and cost, without any advantage in return while any plan that prevents the examining of the whole Bible is by no means desirable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manners, Vol. 2 of 2: A Novel Mr. Donolan owed his introduction to our travel lers to having accidentally met Colonel Desmond that morning at the Commercial Buildings in Dame street, an elegant establishment, something of the nature of the Adelphi in London; and, the place in the Irish capital where the wanderer is most likely to meet his acquaintances. In answer to some of colonekdesmond's interrogatories, Mr. Donolan men tioned having just received a pressing invitation to visit Bogberry Hall, but that he was afraid it would not be in his power to visit Connaught this summer. Certainly a journey there is a much more serious undertaking, than crossing the Alps was before we were indebted to Buonaparte for the Simplon road, replied Colonel Desmond laughing; but you must some time or other be doomed to remain in this limbo for a short time.

Download or read book Orientalism written by Edward W. Said and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking critique of the West's historical, cultural, and political perceptions of the East that is—three decades after its first publication—one of the most important books written about our divided world. "Intellectual history on a high order ... and very exciting." —The New York Times In this wide-ranging, intellectually vigorous study, Said traces the origins of "orientalism" to the centuries-long period during which Europe dominated the Middle and Near East and, from its position of power, defined "the orient" simply as "other than" the occident. This entrenched view continues to dominate western ideas and, because it does not allow the East to represent itself, prevents true understanding.
