Book excerpt: "An erotic scandal chronicle so popular it became a byword... Expertly tailored for contemporary readers. It combines scurrilous attacks on the social and political celebritites of the day, disguised just enough to exercise titillating speculatuion, with luscious erotic tales." —Belles Lettres This story concerns the return of to earth of the goddess of Justice, Astrea, to gather information about private and public behavior on the island of Atalantis. Manley drew on her experience as well as on an obsessive observation of her milieu to produce this fast paced narrative of political and erotic intrigue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This project has as its purpose an exploration of the part played by the first United States Senator from Texas, Thomas J. Rusk, in securing for Texas and the nation the benefits received from the Compromise of 1850, including, most especially, the settlement of the Texas boundary dispute. The Compromise of 1850 had an enormous national significance; it temporarily calmed the sectional hostility between North and South over the issues of slavery and thus postponed the outbreak of a civil war for more than ten years. Rusk's actions and accomplishments are therefore discussed in relation to their impact on the national scene. The findings discussed herein will show that Rusk played a very prominent role in obtaining passage of the compromise legislation, a contribution almost completely overlooked in previous studies. Additionally, those findings indicate that Rusk induced from the United States a highly beneficial concession to the Texas territorial claims. Finally, the indications are clear that without a settlement of the Texas boundary dispute, a compromise of any sort was not likely to be achieved. The effort's focus is primarily limited to the events surrounding the transactions of the 1st Session of the 31st United States Congress (December, 1849 to September, 1850), especially those transpiring in the United States Senate."--Abstract, page vi

Kaufman, of Texas, on the Slavery Question: Delivered in the House of Representatives, February 10, 1847 The following Bill, reported by the Committee on Foreign Affairs, being under consideration in Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union, viz: A Bill making further provision for the expenses attending the intercourse between the United States and foreign nations. Whereas war exists between these United States and the Republic of Mexico, and assurances have been given to the Government of Mexico of the President's wish to settle all questions between the two countries on liberal and satisfactory terms to each, and their mutual interest and security; and the President may be able to conclude peace with the republic of Mexico prior to the next session of Congress, if means for that object are at his disposal: And whereas, in the adjustment of the many complicated questions between the two countries, it may happen that an expenditure of money will be called for by the stipulations of any treaty which may be entered into: Therefore, Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the sum of thirty thousand dollars be, and the same is hereby appropriated, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, to enable the President to enter upon negotiations for the restoration of peace with Mexico; and also the sum of three millions of dollars be hereby appropriated, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, to enable the President to conclude a treaty of peace with the republic of Mexico, to be used by him in the event that said treaty, when duly ratified by Mexico, shall call for the expenditure of the same, or any part thereof: Provided, That full and accurate accounts of all these expenditures shall be by him transmitted to Congress as soon as practicable: The following was offered as an additional section to said bill, by Mr. Wilmot, of Pennsylvania: Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in any Territory on the continent of America which shall hereafter be acquired by, or annexed to, the United States by virtue of this appropriation, or in any other manner whatever, except for crimes whereof the party shall have been duly convicted: Provided, always, That any person escaping into such territory from whom labor or service is lawfully claimed in anyone of the United States, such fugitive may be lawfully reclaimed and conveyed out of said territory to the person claiming his or her labor or service: Mr. Kaufman rose and addressed the committee as follows: Mr. Chairman: In the remarks which I propose to submit to the consideration of this committee, it is not my intention to reply to the low abuse which was some time since uttered by a member from New York, (Mr. Culver.) I have too much respect for the State I in part represent here, for the Democratic party, and for myself, to do so. I honor and respect the great "Empire State" of this Union, and for many of her Representatives on this floor I entertain that regard which ability and integrity are always sure to engender. But, sir, when I see a Representative so far forget himself as to indulge in language unbecoming this great Council Chamber of the American Union, whether against the State I represent, or the party to which I have the honor to belong, the words of such a man "pass by me as the idle wind, which I regard not." Texas needs no eulogy from me, one of the humblest of her sons. Her history, though short, is brilliant, and her acts are at once the monument and vindication of her fame. Her daring resistance to Mexican oppression; her immortal victory achieved under the auspices of the lone star on the plains of San Jacinto, resulting as it did in the capture of the blood-stained tyrant who now "frets his hour"

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: M. C. Roco and W.S. Bainbridge In the early decades of the 21st century, concentrated efforts can unify science based on the unity of nature, thereby advancing the combination of nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, and new technologies based in cognitive science. With proper attention to ethical issues and societal needs, converging in human abilities, societal technologies could achieve a tremendous improvement outcomes, the nation's productivity, and the quality of life. This is a broad, cross cutting, emerging and timely opportunity of interest to individuals, society and humanity in the long term. The phrase "convergent technologies" refers to the synergistic combination of four major "NBIC" (nano-bio-info-cogno) provinces of science and technology, each of which is currently progressing at a rapid rate: (a) nanoscience and nanotechnology; (b) biotechnology and biomedicine, including genetic engineering; (c) information technology, including advanced computing and communications; (d) cognitive science, including cognitive neuroscience. Timely and Broad Opportunity. Convergence of diverse technologies is based on material unity at the nanoscale and on technology integration from that scale.
Download or read book The Founding Fathers and the Debate Over Religion in Revolutionary America written by Matthew Harris and published by OUP USA. This book was released on 2012 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether America was founded as a Christian nation or as a secular republic is one of the most fiercely debated questions in American history. Historians Matthew Harris and Thomas Kidd offer an authoritative examination of the essential documents needed to understand this debate. The texts included in this volume - writings and speeches from both well-known and obscure early American thinkers - show that religion played a prominent yet fractious role in the era of the American Revolution. In their personal beliefs, the Founders ranged from profound skeptics like Thomas Paine to traditional Christians like Patrick Henry. Nevertheless, most of the Founding Fathers rallied around certain crucial religious principles, including the idea that people were "created" equal, the belief that religious freedom required the disestablishment of state-backed denominations, the necessity of virtue in a republic, and the role of Providence in guiding the affairs of nations. Harris and Kidd show that through the struggles of war and the framing of the Constitution, Americans sought to reconcile their dedication to religious vitality with their commitment to religious freedom.
