Download or read book Side Lights on the Orient Classic Reprint written by Walter R. Lambuth and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Side Lights on the Orient These pen sketches were made during a flying visit to the Far East. There has been no attempt at a systematic description of the countries visited. The writer only intends to give the young reader a more realistic idea of the lights and shadows playing over some of the world's thoroughfares and bypaths; something of human need and God-given opportunity to meet that need. If it has been possible to awaken and stimulate a desire to know more about the interesting people who live in the lands beyond the sea, and who are being brought nearer to us every day, he will be amply rewarded for the time spent in turning these side lights upon the traveled way.

Download or read book The Obvious Orient Classic Reprint written by Albert Bushnell Hart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Obvious Orient The world abounds in sketchy books upon the East, and the title chosen for this volume is the writer's admission that no one can learn all that there is in the most ancient and inscrutable of the continents in an eight months' experience. On the other hand, the Orient is so unlike the western world that it still has the stimulating efiect of novelty and variety. It is astonishing how the books that one reads beforehand on the East fail to include the things which instantly come before the eyes the moment one lands in Asia; even the hasty traveller's record, therefore, adds something to the knowledge of the bewildering and picturesque detail of Oriental life. For this study of the East I have had some advantages in the way of previous investigation and reflection, and the friendship of former students and others now settled in the Orient. Americans in that part of the world never lose their nationality, and the travelling American finds himself welcomed to a partnership in their experiences.

The field of human knowledge has sensibly wid ened since those large days in 1776, when some of our forebears fought to found a new commonwealth, while others, even amid rumors of war in the distracted colonies, dared to meet and found a learned society.1 They were men who might hope to compass the field Of learning as none may dare in these days, least of all one whose whole life has been given to a field circumscribed within narrow limits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Trip to the Orient From early manhood I have had a consuming desire to visit classic and Bible lands, but never till in my seventy-fifth year did the opportunity offer itself; and from the beginning of my journey I have had in mind the'relation of what I saw and heard for the benefit of my friends and the reading public. While in many instances I, have used the guide-books that were available, I have not leant upon them, except where it was neces sary to get facts and figures. I have tried to see, and to think, and to write for myself. With Bible in hand, I have accepted nothing, whatever tradition might say, if not substantiated by it. I do not claim infallibility for my book, but I have adhered strictly to facts, where it was possible to secure these facts. I have sought for information from the best sources at hand, and from notes taken on the ground I have written while matters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Soul of the Orient IN the far-away ages of the past, in China, Japan, India, Chaldea, and Egypt, the most learned men were set apart for study of the heavenly bodies, and the laws which govern the universe. If astronomy be commended as a study of the stars, why should astrology not be even more important, as the language of the celestial bodies? The very fact that astrologers in various countries are in accord as to the nature and influence of the various planets proves that some of the wisest men in the world have been, and are, believers in the usefulness of astrology. In the Old and New Testament constant allusions are made to the planetary system as it affected or influenced the human race. In Deborah's beautiful song, she, as one of the mothers of Israel, makes special mention (judges v, 20) of the stars in their courses fighting against Sisera. In Revelation xii, I mention is made of the Signs of the Zodiac. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
