A General History of the Sabbatarian Churches

by Tamar Davis

At the present time, when the Sabbath controversy is engaging so much of the public attention, and when Sabbath Conventions and Sabbath Unions are being chronicled almost monthly, I consider it unnecessary to offer any apology for the introduction of the following work to the public notice. My reader need not fear a repetition or recapitulation of ..

Impressions and experiences

by William Dean Howells

My earliest memories, or those which I can make sure are not the sort of early hearsay that we mistake for remembrance later in life, concern a country newspaper, or, rather, a country printing-office.

God made man for woman and woman for man. He did not intend that they should live apart from each other. When He said, “It is not good for man to be alon..

Roses - or, a Monograph of the Genus Rosa by active 1799-1828

by Henry Cranke Andrews

THE Rose, for matchless beauty famed, (although by botanists so disregarded) has been the Painter’s study and the Poet’s theme, for ages past, and will no doubt for ages yet to come; long after many a curious Nondescript shall in a dusty hortus siccus sleep, unnoticed and unknown.The intention of the author in the delineation of this unrivalled tri..
