Extractions: The notion of America was in his mind, as we have seen, when he first projected the Clock , and a very hearty letter from Washington Irving about little Nell and the Curiosity Shop must be ; and at last, near the end of a letter filled with many unimportant things, the announcement, doubly underlined, came to me. "Now" (19 September) "to astonish you. After balancing, considering, and weighing the matter in every point of view, I HAVE MADE UP MY MIND (WITH GOD'S LEAVE) TO GO TO AMERICA AND TO START AS SOON AFTER CHRISTMAS AS IT WILL BE SAFE TO GO." Further information was promised immediately; and a request followed, characteristic as any he could have added to his design of travelling so far away, that we should visit once more together the scenes of his boyhood. "On 9 October we leave here. It's a Saturday. If it should be fine dry weather, or anything like it, will you meet us at Rochester, and stop there two or three days to see all the lions in the surrounding country? Think of this. . . . If you'll arrange to come, I'll have the carriage down, and Topping; and, supposing news from Glasgow don't interfere with us, which I fervently hope it will not, I will ensure that we have much enjoyment." Three days later than that which announced his resolve, the subject was resumed. "I wrote to Chapman and Hall, asking them what they thought of it, and saying I meant to keep a notebook, and publish it for half a guinea or thereabouts, on my return. They instantly sent the warmest possible reply, and said they had taken it for granted I would go, and had been speaking of it only the day before. I have begged them to make every enquiry about the fares, cabins, berths, and times of sailing; and I shall make a great effort to take Kate

They are Chaim Weizman, Asher Ginzburg[Achad Ha-am], Bartold Feibel and A. Idelsson. Ginzbirg wrote novels in a biblically influenced style in Hebrew, and maybe thought of as the first national writer of Israel. Ached Ha-am signatures of this early date are particularly rare.Also a very early Weizman signature.

This had the desired effect, for the day came and passed off without any molestation, with the exception, of a few more threats being made on the part of the mob, which soon died away, and the idea of driving was hushed for the present. In the mean time, the citizens of Caldwell were making every exertion to improve that county. The town of Far West was laid out one mile square, and the most of the lots sold; and in one year from the time of the first settlement in Caldwell, there were from one hundred to one hundred and fifty dwelling houses erected in that place, six dry good stores in operation, one grocery and several mechanic shops. There were in the county, nearly or quite three hundred farms opened and several thousand acres under cultivation also, four saw and five grist mills doing good business. Thus we can see that in the short space of one year, the solitary place was made glad for them, and the wilderness was converted into a fruitful field.

Extractions: Volume 53 (1994), pp. 133-178 WEST VIRGINIA: A HISTORY. Second edition, by Otis K. Rice and Stephen W. Brown (Lexington: Univ. Press of Kentucky, 1993. Pp. x, 344. $32.00.) No history book has a greater influence upon the public's knowledge of state development than a survey text adopted by the state's colleges and universities. The Mountain State has been fortunate in its survey writing by having the long-running and out-of-print work by Charles Ambler and Festus Summers and now the present Otis Rice. Since the last edition of Ambler and Summers's West Virginia: The Mountain State in 1958, a substantial amount of time and writing on previously unexplored topics waited synthesis. Rice's first edition appeared in 1985 with the laudable goal of presenting a narrative history with essential and accurate information, while deemphasizing the interpretive and analytical, to "informed West Virginians and others interested" in state history. This new version has not undergone any extreme or significant change. The main alterations include, presumably for purposes of succession, the addition of a co-author, Rice's capable colleague at West Virginia Institute of Technology, and a new fifteen-page chapter which covers Governor Arch Moore's ill-fated third term and Gaston Caperton's first administration. The configurations of the original chapters and the pictures remain the same. Rice and Brown have removed most glitches, revised the preface, added a footnote, eliminated one paragraph from each of two chapters, and somewhat updated the bibliography.
Extractions: ASCENSION DETACHMENT I 1999 has been a successful year for the police. We have worked in partnership with the public and certainly, without your support, our job would have been much more difficult. We hope that your support will continue into the year 2000. On behalf of the Detachment I would like to take this opportunity of wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a prosperous year 2000. The millenium celebrations, planned for 31st December in Georgetown, are fast approaching. This will be a busy time for all concerned. On the day of the celebrations the road between the Saints Club and the upper junction to Chinatown will be closed to all vehicular traffic. You are advised to drive around the town with extreme care as there will be plenty of people about especially young children. There will ample parking space and we will be on duty to provide assistance. We very much hope that the festive season will be smooth and trouble free.

Extractions: Engage Us Publications Press Room Cartoons ... FAQ Join Mailing List Email: About Us Contact Us Links Home When Corporations Wield the Constitution by Richard L. Grossman and Ward Morehouse Co-Founders, Summer 2002 The following is reproduced with permission of the authors. The Elite Consensus: When Corporations Wield the Constitution Apex Press "Over the past 200 years, all over the world but especially in the United States, legal systems have been changed to accomplish two things: limit the legal liabilities of corporations, and give corporations the rights and protections of citizens" by extending "constitutional rights to corporations." So writes George Draffan in this book about the few who govern the many. These two accomplishments have enabled corporate officers "to make decisions and control resources . . . to unite to influence political agendas" towards transforming their values and goals (maximizing production, paying as few workers as possible as little as possible, building complex industrial systems, propelling America as Empire, etc.) into law and policy. What does this mean for all the people hired and fired at will by corporate managers? For people who value cooperation, love, human rights, ecological sanity, democracy and consent of the governed? It means that a unified corporate class uses the law of the land to deny the majority's fundamental right to govern.

Extractions: There are skeptics who donât believe in heaven or hell. They donât believe in an afterlife. The reason they donât believe in the invisible worlds after this existence is because they have not prayed to God for the gift of faith. If they prayed for that gift, they would receive it, that is, if their prayers were utterly sincere. He had spent fifteen years in drugs and drink, ruining his young adult life. He had put into his body everything that should never be put into a human frame. He spent his entire existence crushing life from his soul and body. Then he got in trouble with the law. That threw him behind bars. In his early thirties, he knew that he could not continue in such a horrible state, hence his prayer.

It will be weekly again starting in September. "What are you doing for the 4th of July?" is often heard about this time; or on getting back to work, "What did you do for the 4th of July". So today, for my (late) July 1 piece, I've hunted through 20 or 30 published diarys, old "lives and letters", etc., to take a sampling of what Americans were doing and thinking on this day of the year, in the days when Revolutionary War veterans were still walking around.

MY chief purpose in publishing this book, and the one which will immediately follow-"The Rise and Fall of Nauvoo"-is to place in the hands of the youth of the Latter-day Saints a full statement of the persecutions endured by the early members of The Church in this last dispensation, in the States of Missouri and Illinois, that they may be made acquainted with the sacrifices which their fathers have made for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. And I indulge the hope that by becoming acquainted with the story of the suffering of the early saints, the faith of the Gospel will become all the more dear to the hearts of their immediate posterity and all the youth of Zion for many generations to come.

Extractions: Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2001 It happened again. Some poor guy caught in a love triangle he couldn't handle went berserk and shot a number of co-workers before killing himself. These things are happening more and more frequently, the list of victims continues to grow, and much of the blame for the deaths and woundings can be laid squarely at the doors of the nation's rabid anti-gun zealots. If that sounds harsh, keep in mind the fact that in every single instance of mass shootings, the victims were all defenseless, largely because anti-gun laws and irrational anti-gun sentiments kept victims and bystanders from having weapons that could have been used to stop the killers in their tracks. That could have been true at Columbine High School where, had just one teacher had a concealed handgun to protect his students, the killing spree could have been ended and the list of victims sharply diminished. In every single case, by the time police arrived on the scene the damage had been done, dramatically underscoring the fact that Americans cannot rely on the police to protect them in such circumstances. As a result, laws banning or prohibitively restricting citizen gun ownership are putting Americans at the mercy of murderous crackpots and felons.

Extractions: The One Hundred Year History of Hanover, Kansas From "Hanover Centennial 1869-1969" "The little town of Hanover, Kansas, was just a little bit of Germany, transplanted to American soil"; so wrote Mrs. E. N. Emmons, widow of the editor and publisher of the first fore-runner of The Hanover News. And, indeed, so it was. Mrs. Emmons, although not German, herself, yet appreciated the sterling qualities of these early settlers whom, during her short stay here, she learned to respect and to love. G. H. Hollenberg, the first settler in Hanover Township, came to Washington County in the fall of 1858, settling on the old Fort Kearney Road at a point which he first named "Cottonwood Ranch", where he established a stage depot, made his home and kept a small stock of groceries and general merchandise such as might be needed by travelers along the stage coach route.
