Book excerpt: Excerpt from University of California Publications in History, Vol. 1 From the standpoint of constitutional history the period covered by the French and Indian War deserves a more careful and exhaustive study than has been given it by those who have written upon American colonial history. Only recently has a book appeared that seems to grasp the true relation of this period to the stormy one which followed it. Beer in his British Colonial Policy, 1754-1765, has given a valuable treatment of the policy of the mother country, and has incidentally touched upon the peculiar ideas and characteristics of the colonists; but the subject with which he deals necessarily does not include a study of constitutional development within the colonies. Many writers have pointed out a connection between this war and the American Revolution by showing how the expulsion of the French and the incurring of a war debt furnished an excuse for the new colonial policy inaugurated by the Tory party in England. There are, however, many other questions which connect the two movements as vitally, if more remotely, as those usually discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from California Review, 1903, Vol. 1 It is possibly tedious to detail the acts of each successive Grand Parlor. Premising that each change has been effected by that body it will only be necessary to mention the principal amendments that have been made. The number of Grand Trustees, which was five in 1885, was made seven in 1886. The Junior Past Grand President was made a member of the board of officers in 1884. Prior to 1890 eleven applicants might petition for a charter. Now at least twenty names are requisite. After petitions had been de nied successively for charters for Tombstone, Ariz., Seattle, Tucson, Virginia City, and Reno, an amendment was adopted prohibit ing the granting of charters to applicants residing outside of California.

Download or read book California Men Vol 1 written by Young Men's Christian Associations and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from California Men, Vol. 1: June, 1910 Niwa in Korea and Hibbard in Dalny, with responsibility both for Manchuria and Korea, are the Association's concrete response to the call of this modern Macedonia. The loss of Mr. Niwa from the Bible Study Movement in Japan will be a real one, but fortunately we are able to call upon a number of Christian professors and secretaries in different parts of the country to assist. For example, in January, I spent a week in the Island of Kyushu in company with local professors and secretaries, holding three excellent Bible Institutes which resulted in rooting the group idea more firmly. Three new groups were formed. The progress made in Bible Study by Osaka under the guidance of Secretaries Sajima and Gleason has been one of the most encouraging features of the last few months. They now have some 329 men in average attendance in 27 Bible Classes each week, and they have worked out an interesting English Course in the Life of Christ. The visit of the Japanese Commercial Commission to America has already told helpfully on the movement here. At a banquet tendered to Baron Shibusawa and several others of the commission, the Baron spoke emphatically of the service rendered by the Associations in America and expressed the hope that the Associations in Japan would soon be able to expand their equipment and activity so as to become an equally effective factor for character and efficiency. The completion of the Kobe Building Lot Fund by a short term campaign was a unique event in Japanese Association history. The sum, for America, was not large - $15,000 in all - but no like amount had ever been raised for any Christian object in a single city in Japan. To be sure, three fifths of the amount had been secured by patient work during the past two and a half years, but the quick spurt at the end was due to the skilful guidance of H. A. Wilbur, the new secretary. Compared with raising $500,000 for Dayton's great building, $15,000 sounds like a bagatelle, but I venture to say that it cost Mr. Wilbur almost as much nerve force as the Dayton campaign; and it meant as much to the Kingdom. For some time the tide has been setting in the direction of more effective co-operation between all the churches and missions for the reaching of the unevangelized masses, and it has seemed to the Association men that we should do everything in our power to further it. Consequently at the annual meeting of the Standing Committee of all the missions in Japan, in January, after a splendid address on the subject by Dr. Howard (former president of the Association at Otterbein University) I moved that a Committee of Missionaries and Japanese undertake a study of the whole Empire in order to determine what still remained to be done and what forces and institutions would be needed if the Empire were to be measurably Christianized within the next fifty years. Then, in February, I was unexpectedly asked to write a paper on that very subject for the Edinburgh World's Missionary Conference, so that I had to make a hurried but comprehensive study of the question. This involved numerous interviews with Christian leaders, and gave some stimulus to the trend toward co-operation and toward grappling with the needs of the whole Empire. In Osaka, Sajima and Gleason have been instrumental in getting all the churches lined up for a city-wide and county-wide campaign of evangelism and Bible Study that has already brought in hundreds of converts and inquirers and gives promise of bigger things to follow. Mr. Hibbard's temporary stay in Tokyo prior to beginning work in Dalny has incidentally helped the Tokyo Directors to raise $1300 in a few days, making possible a new student hostel just behind the city building, for the Commercial College men. It has also been a great delight to me to have him as neighbor and daily counsellor. If it were not for the great work that beckons

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Biography and Genealogy, Vol. 1: California Edition; Illustrated And in one year the harvest of her gold mines was a paltry 044, while the golden harvest of her farms and gardens was more than seven times as much as all her gold that year could buy. He taught her how to waste her rivers from their torrent beds, and scatter them over the land in irrigating ditches, so that the shallow river a child could ford became a stream of fertility, an oasis of blossom and fruit and shrub twenty miles wide. On every page of her unfolding history and growing greatness. He wrote down paradoxes that her writers of fiction hesitated to use, so that the guileless tenderfoot believed in Colonel Jack Hazard, and Truth ful James, and Bill Nye, in refined and rigidly moral gamblers, in pure-minded harlots and generous stage robbers with university degrees, but shook their heads and said, Oh, California stories! With pitying toleration, such as one uses when speaking of the heathen in his blindness, when told of the Big Trees and the YO Semite, and eight crops of peas or alfalfa in one year from the same field.

Download or read book The History of the Ancient World From the Earliest Accounts to the Fall of Rome written by Susan Wise Bauer and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2007-03-17 with total page 897 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively and engaging narrative history showing the common threads in the cultures that gave birth to our own. This is the first volume in a bold series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. Dozens of maps provide a clear geography of great events, while timelines give the reader an ongoing sense of the passage of years and cultural interconnection. This old-fashioned narrative history employs the methods of “history from beneath”—literature, epic traditions, private letters and accounts—to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled. The result is an engrossing tapestry of human behavior from which we may draw conclusions about the direction of world events and the causes behind them.

Download or read book Knowing Words written by Lisa Raphals and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Greeks, the craft of Odysseus and the wisdom of Athena were examples of metis, an elusive cast of mind that ranged from wisdom and forethought to craft and cunning. Although it informed many aspects of Greek society, metis was all but absent from the language of Greek philosophy. Invoking Indigenous Chinese debates, Lisa Raphals here examines the role and significance of metic intelligence in classical Chinese philosophy, literature, history, and military strategy. Raphals first examines the range of meanings of the Chinese word zhi. As with the Greek metis, the uses of zhi include "wisdom, " "knowledge, " "intelligence, " "skill, " "cleverness, " and "cunning." Drawing on parallels between the two traditions, she argues that, in China as in Greece, metic intelligence tacitly informed many aspects of cultural and social life. In China, these included views of the nature of knowledge and language, standards of personal and social morality, and theories of military strategy and statecraft. After surveying representative texts from the Warring States period, Raphals considers the function of metic intelligence as the dominant quality of central characters in two novels from the Ming dynasty, the Romance of Three Kingdoms and Journey to the West. Finally, she compares the treatment of themes of heroism and recognition in the Chinese and Greek narrative traditions. Knowing Words will be welcomed by sinologists, classicists, and scholars of comparative philosophy and literature.

Download or read book The Historian s Huck Finn written by Ranjit S. Dighe and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-04-25 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Putting Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in historical context, connecting it to pivotal issues like slavery, class, money, and American economic expansion, this book engages readers by presenting American history through the lens of a great novel. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is widely regarded as a classic American novel—a groundbreaking one in which the author attempts to accurately portray society through the use of at-times coarse vernacular English. In this book, readers can experience the full text of Twain's Huckleberry Finn accompanied by annotations in footnote form throughout. As a result, this classic is transformed into a fascinating historical documentation of 19th-century American life and society that touches on topics like slavery, the transportation revolution, race, class, and confidence men. Bringing the perspective of a social and economic historian, Ranjit S. Dighe offers more than 150 annotations as well as supporting essays that put the characters, incidents, and settings of the book into their historical context. First-time readers get to experience a great American novel with memorable characters, vivid imagery, and a great narrative voice while simultaneously learning about American history; teachers and students who have read Huckleberry Finn before will enjoy re-reading it, especially with insightful annotations that connect the story to the historical timeline. This book exposes the subtle lessons Twain's tale has to teach us about America's growth, development, conflicts, and mass movements in the nation's first century.

Download or read book Beyond Holy Wars written by Christoffer H. Grundmann and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-04-23 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 9/11 al-Qaeda attacks on the U.S. in 2001 shocked the world, not only because of their viciousness but also because of the disillusionment that "holy wars" are a phenomenon of the past. "Holy wars," rather, are a reality in today's world too, threatening global peace like never before. In this volume Christoffer Grundmann pleads for the cultivation of religious literacy and interreglious dialogue. First, he attempts to regain an adequate understanding of religion by showing the incompatibility of abstract concepts of religion with religions actually lived. So Grundmann suggests perceiving religion as the lived relationship toward an Ultimate. Given that interreligious dialogue is communication about diverse ways of relating to the Ultimate, the religiously embedded, primarily Jewish philosophy of encounter and dialogical thinking--with its personalistic nature--comes into focus here as uniquely suited for such communication. Even though interreligious encounter implies risk, Christians cannot but engage in it fearlessly, says Grundmann, because they trust that the risen Christ will reveal himself anew as the one he really is, wherever and whenever Christians take part in dialogue with people of other faiths.
