Lord Bolingbroke is one of the most fascinating figures of the 18th century. The works collected in this volume, most importantly his "Dissertation upon Parties" and "The Idea of a Patriot King," are undeniable classics of political philosophy. Throughout, Bolingbroke expresses a strong devotion to liberty and voices even more severe criticism of government. Yet, it is surely an odd mixture, as Bolingbroke is indeed also a Tory, although, a rather Whiggish Tory if I might say so. The influence and significance of these works is hard to overestimate. In particular, they had a profound impact on the American colonists, including such giants as Jefferson and John Adams. Above all, Bolingbroke was also a fine writer, and his work is a pleasure to read.

The Book of Numbers Interpreted and Explained according to its Spiritual or Internal Sense, with Copious References to the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg, Explanatory Notes and a Commentary, by the Rev. Henry Maclagan. London: James Speirs, 1913.
This book has long been out of print and very hard to find. Now, thankfully, it is available again in a photo reprint of the original 1913 edition.
MacLagan wrote four solid volumes providing spiritual interpretations of the books of Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and the two books of Kings. (Emanuel Swedenborg himself had interpreted the books of Genesis and Exodus in his eight volume Latin work _Arcana Coelestia_, so Maclagan continued where Swedenborg left off.)
In this volume, Maclagan interprets the book of Numbers as a parable telling the story of our inner, spiritual life and rebirth, using the method of "correspondences," or living spiritual symbolism, explained by Swedenborg in his theological writings.
For each chapter, MacLagan first provides a brief summary of the spiritual sense of the chapter. He then gives a spiritual meaning for each verse, in two-column format with the Bible verses (Revised Version) on the left and the spiritual interpretation on the right. Next comes a detailed section of references to places in Swedenborg's works where themes in each verse are explained. Finally, MacLagan provides a section of notes on the application of the chapter to our own individual "regeneration," or spiritual rebirth process.
To my knowledge, this is the only interpretation of the book of Numbers ever written from a Swedenborgian spiritual perspective. As such, it is a highly valuable book for anyone interested in the deeper meanings to be found in the Word of God. While the language is a bit dated (this book having been originally published in 1913), the serious Bible student will find a rich trove of material here.
Maclagan's works are very rare now, and nearly impossible to find in their original editions. I am delighted to see his work on Numbers available again, and hope that the other volumes will soon become available also.
Highly recommended!

The world of literature and the humanities never caused so much laughter. The authors of The Book of Sequels have provided a hysterical light to the spheres of their academic targets: the classics are thrown head-first into the barbarism of American pop culture. From the Pearl Poet to Franz Kafka, the works of the great masters are funnier than ever. A must for Frasier fans or lit scholars.

While this book definitly represents a large investment. Therecan be no doubt of the fact that it is the true bible on Bordeaux.Whenever we have any question what so ever about Bordeaux, this is the book we reach for. END

I got this book on audio tape because I travel a lot in my car. Out of the 5-6 books I have listened to over the past 3-4 months this was one of my favorites if not the favorite. Good suggestions, most easy to implement others harder because it is sometimes hard to let our kids learn some things on their own. I think using the principals in this book will help kids with their own confidence because they unterstand their own boundries better and will learn how staying wthin those boundries can be very rewarding and boost pride with the end result.

Simon Spero has done a fine job amassing a catalogue of the Henry & Constance Bowles collection. This book has astonished me with its vivid images and beautiful pieces. I've loved it from the moment I got it. It has served as a wonderful reference as well as an inspiration. I've started my own collection because of this INCREDIBLE beautiful book. I hope every porcelain lover or lover of beautiful things buys at least one copy.

I am a direct descendent of Henry King Burgwyn Jr, with the exact same last name. I know all about my great great uncle and this book is a very good describer of him, his family, and life and times. I have lent this book too many Civil War buffs and it always comes back with a raving review.

BUY IT!!!

Written by Henri De Montherlant in 1969, the story is set in France of the 1910's, and reflects all of the society of that time. It is a dark and brooding story of the friendship between two schoolboys. A constricting cloud of Catholicism permeates the story, and acts as one of the heavies in the plot.

Alban, sixteen years old and the heir to a dukedom, joins a new school. Here he discovers a culture, officially encouraged by the teachers, where the boys form close attachments. He pairs off with the younger Serge, who is only fourteen. The two are attracted to each other, and fall in love.

While falling in love and forming a couple is OK, the school applies a high moral tone, and forbids any intimacies beyond hand holding and kissing.

Father de Pradts, a teacher, watches the pair, and warns Alban not to cross the line in his relations with Serge. de Pradts is secretly attracted to Serge, but is in denial. He interferes greatly with the two boys, what with his constant carping and spying. Eventually he manages to get Alban expelled from the school, to break up what he considers an unhealthy relationship. Unfortunately, Serge is also expelled.

There is a very tragic ending, involving one of the boys and poison. It is all very depressing, since this need not have happened if the boys had been left alone to develop and enjoy their love for each other. The interfering priest and the strict society of that time play equal parts in formenting the tradegy.

The highest interest in this novel would be for its insight and detailing of the behaviour of 1910 France, and in particular the rules applying to teenage boys. For comparison, see the more recent mores shown in the 1945 novel, Special Friendships, by Roger Peyrefitte. This is also the story of the love between two French schoolboys.

Back to the "data-driven...stuff". What I do show contempt for is the charlatans who repeat over and over the same silly lab tests and draw unfounded conclusions to support their theories on training. As Master Po has said before, "Man who study exercise-physiology and think he know running is like man who study price of produce and think he know how farm."

Could you if imagine engineers pursued their craft in the same manner of EP-Geeks? What the lab and the calculations say mean nothing to engineers. Engineers test and re-test everything in the field. Ever hear of a mechanical engineer telling a Formula I driver how to drive? A aeronautical engineer telling a pilot how to fly? Hell no. That's because they know their place in the grand scheme of things. Would you ever buy a Jim Beams Flying Formula book written by an engineer. Get outta here!

With that said, I've noticed that a lot of you guys read a lot of running books. That's fine. take em for what there worth. I have never heard of any of you reading any books on the psychology of running. What gives? Any of you ever read 'The Breakthrough Factor' by Henry Marsh? I didn't think so. Why not? Henry Marsh is by far the best American steeplechaser. Not by a little, by ThAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT much! Here's a guy with NO TALENT and NO WORK ETHIC and you don't want to know what he knows?

"Psssssst, over here kid, running's all upstairs."
