Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'Q ueen Hortense: A Life Picture of the Napoleonic Era' by L.Mühlbach is a historical account written in the late 19th century that explores the life of Hortense Beauharnais, the daughter of Empress Josephine and the stepdaughter of Napoleon Bonaparte. The narrative unfolds during a tumultuous period marked by revolution and change, focusing on Hortense's personal journey through sorrow, triumph, and artistic expression against the backdrop of a shifting political landscape. The opening of the book introduces readers to Hortense as a poignant figure amid the Napoleonic era, recounting her childhood marred by family misfortune and the upheaval of the French Revolution. We learn of Hortense's early experiences, including her mother Josephine's trials, her father's execution, and the hardships faced by the dethroned Bonaparte family. Mühlbach paints a vivid portrait of Hortense's resilience and grace, showcasing her talent in poetry and music, including the creation of famous pieces like 'Va t'en, Guerrier.' The opening chapters set the stage for a narrative that promises to delve deeper into Hortense's life as she navigates love, loss, and her identity as a Bonaparte while enduring the vicissitudes of her age.F or the second time, the Bourbons had entered Paris under the protection of the allies, and Louis XVIII. was once more King of France. But this time he did not return with his former mild and conciliatory disposition. He came to punish and to reward; he came unaccompanied by mercy. The old generals and marshals of the empire, who had not been able to resist their chieftain's call, were now banished, degraded, or executed. Ney and Labédoyère paid for their fidelity to the emperor with their blood; and all who were in any way connected with the Bonapartes were relentlessly pursued. The calumnies that had been circulated in 1814 against the Duchess of St. Leu were now to bear bitter fruit. These were the dragon's teeth from which the armed warriors had sprung, who now levelled their swords at the breast of a defenceless woman. King Louis had returned to the throne of his fathers, but he had not forgotten that he had been told on his flight: 'The Duchess of St. Leu is to blame for all! Her intrigues have brought Napoleon back!' Now that he was again king, he thought of it, and determined to punish her. He requested it of.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'T he Science of Human Nature: A Psychology for Beginners' by William Henry Pyle is an educational psychology text written in the early 20th century. This work is intended for high school and normal school students, aiming to provide them with insight into the laws of human behavior and the nature of human psychology. The book seeks to empower young learners with self-knowledge and understanding of themselves and others, covering essential psychological concepts relevant to the education sector. The opening of the book introduces readers to the fundamental principles of psychology, emphasizing the importance of understanding human nature and its intricacies. Pyle outlines his aim to explore how human actions and thoughts are influenced by various factors, including heredity and environment. He underscores the need for students to study themselves and observe their behaviors and those of others, linking these observations to scientific understanding. Additionally, he stresses the necessity of developing a psychological frame of mind to grasp the causes and effects of human behavior, thus laying the groundwork for the subsequent exploration of more complex psychological ideas.r ise to sensation, it is capable of reviving this excitation later. This renewal or revival of a brain excitation gives us an experience resembling the original sensation, only usually fainter and less stable. This revived experience is called image or idea. The general process of retention and revival of experience is, as we have seen, known as memory. An idea, then, is a bit of revived experience. A perception is a bit of immediate or primary experience. I am said to perceive a chair if the chair is present before me, if the light reflected from the chair is actually exciting my retinas. I have an idea of the chair when I seem to see it, when the chair is not before me or when my eyes are shut. These distinctions were pointed out in the preceding chapter. Let us now proceed to carry our study of ideas further. =Association of Ideas.= The subject of the association of ideas can best be introduced by an experiment.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'T he Scottish Reformation' by Alexander F. Mitchell is a historical accountwritten in the late19th century. It examines the significant events, key figures, and unique characteristics of the Reformation in Scotland, emphasizing its theological and societal implications. The book seems to provide a thorough exploration of the Reformation's evolution, focusing on influential figures such as Patrick Hamilton and John Knox, alongside a detailed investigation into the errors and corruption present in the medieval Church prior to the Reformation. At the start of the work, Mitchell sets the stage for understanding the necessity of the Reformation in Scotland. He discusses the decay and corruption within the medieval Church and highlights the transformative power of the reformers' teachings. The opening portion dives into the foundational principles that spurred the movement, including the need for access to Scripture and the focus on salvation through faith in Christ. By illustrating the dire state of the Church and the fervent desires for change among reformers and followers alike, the text establishes a critical context for the upcoming chapters that promise to delve deeper into the specific stories and contributions of prominent figures in this pivotal historical period.With the single exception of the period which covers the introduction and first marvellous triumphs of Christianity, the Reformation of the sixteenth century must be owned as perhaps the greatest and most glorious revolution in the history of the human race. And the years of earnest contendings and heroic sufferings which prepared the way for its triumph in many lands and issued in its cruel suppression in others, and the story of the men who by God's grace were enabled to bear the brunt of the battle and to lead their countrymen on to victory or to martyrdom, will ever have a fascination for all in whose hearts faith in the great truths, then more clearly brought to light, has not yet altogether evaporated. The movement then initiated was no mere effort to get quit of acknowledged scandals, which had long been grieved over but never firmly dealt with; no mere desire to lop off a few later accretions, which had gathered round and obscured the faith once delivered to the saints;[1] no mere 'return to the Augustinian, or the Nicene, or the Ante-Nicene age,' but a vast progress beyond any pre.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'T he House of a Thousand Candles' by Meredith Nicholson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around John Glenarm, who learns of his grandfather's death and inherits a property under strange conditions that require him to spend a year living at the unfinished Glenarm House in Indiana. The narrative explores themes of obligation, inheritance, and the complexities of family relationships as John grapples with his past while adapting to his new surroundings. At the start of the novel, John Glenarm is in Naples when he receives a letter informing him of his grandfather's death and the peculiar stipulations of his will. The will demands that he live in the mysterious and incomplete Glenarm House for one year; failure to comply would result in the estate going to a woman named Marian Devereux, a relative through a connection to a nun. John arrives at the house, encountering a complex mix of emotions as he deals with memories of his grandfather and mysterious occurrences, including an apparent assassination attempt. Through the opening chapters, his interactions with the enigmatic caretaker Bates and the intriguing landscape hint at deeper secrets surrounding his inheritance, capturing the reader's interest in the unfolding storyP ickering's letter bringing news of my grandfather's death found me at Naples early in October. John Marshall Glenarm had died in June. He had left a will which gave me his property conditionally, Pickering wrote, and it was necessary for me to return immediately to qualify as legatee. It was the merest luck that the letter came to my hands at all, for it had been sent to Constantinople, in care of the consul-general instead of my banker there. It was not Pickering's fault that the consul was a friend of mine who kept track of my wanderings and was able to hurry the executor's letter after me to Italy, where I had gone to meet an English financier who had, I was advised, unlimited money to spend on African railways. I am an engineer, a graduate of an American institution familiarly known as 'Tech,' and as my funds were running low, I naturally turned to my profession for employment. But this letter changed my plans, and the following day I cabled Pickering of my departure and was outward bound on a steamer for New York. Fourteen days later I sat in Pickering's office in the Alexis Building and listened intently while he read, with much ponderous emphasis, the provisions of.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - D inosaurs, with Special Reference to the American Museum Collections' by W. D. Matthew is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. It provides a comprehensive exploration of dinosaurs, focusing particularly on the specimens housed at the American Museum of Natural History. The book delves into the classification, characteristics, and historical significance of these ancient reptiles, offering a detailed perspective on their life and environment during the Mesozoic Era. The opening of this work introduces readers to the concept of paleontology and the vast geological timescales involved in the study of dinosaurs. It begins with a reflection on prehistoric life and the evolutionary significance of the Age of Reptiles, emphasizing the long periods of time that separated different species. The text outlines the framework of the book, hinting at various chapters that will explore North America's geology during the Age of Reptiles, the diversity and classification of dinosaurs, and details about specific genera and their ecosystems. Overall, it sets the stage for a detailed examination of the fascinating world of dinosaurs, combining rigorous scientific insights with engaging narratives drawn from museum collections.I TSANTIQUITY, DURATIONAND SIGNIFICANCE IN GEOLOGIC HISTORY. Palaeontology deals with the History of Life. Its time is measured in geologic epochs and periods, in millions of years instead of centuries. Man, by this measure, is but a creature of yesterday-his 'forty centuries of civilization'[1] but a passing episode. It is by no means easy for us to adjust our perspective to the immensely long spaces of time involved in geological evolution. We are apt to think of all these extinct animals merely as prehistoric-to imagine them all living at the same time and contending with our cave-dwelling ancestors for the mastery of the earth. In order to understand the place of the Dinosaurs in world-history, we must first get some idea of the length of geologic periods and the immense space of time separating one extinct fauna from another. The Age of Man. Prehistoric time, as it is commonly understood, is the time when barbaric and savage tribes of men inhabited the world but before. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - F riedrich has now climbed the heights, and sees himself on the upper table-land of Victory and Success; his desperate life-and-death struggles triumphantly ended. What may be ahead, nobody knows; but here is fair outlook that his enemies and Austria itself have had enough of him. No wringing of his Silesia from this 'bad Man.' Not to be overset, this one, by never such exertions; oversets US, on the contrary, plunges us heels-overhead into the ditch, so often as we like to apply to him; nothing but heavy beatings, disastrous breaking of crowns, to be had on trying there! 'Five Victories!' as Voltaire keeps counting on his fingers, with upturned eyes,- Mollwitz, Chotusitz, Striegau, Sohr, Kesselsdorf (the last done by Anhalt; but omittingHennersdorf, and that sudden slitting of the big Saxon-Austrian Projects into a cloud of feathers, asfine a feat as any),-'FiveVictories!' counts Voltaire; calling on everybody (or everybody but Friedrich himself, who is easily sated with that kind of thing) to admire. In the world are many opinions about Friedrich. In Austria, for instance, what an opinion; sinister, gloomy in the extreme: or in England, which derives from Austria,-only with additional dimness, and with gloomy new provocations of its own before long! Many opinions about Friedrich, all dim enough: but this, that he is a very demon for fighting, and the stoutest King walking the Earth just now, may well be a universal one. A man better not be meddled with, if he will be at peace, as he professes to wish being. Friedrich accordingly is not meddled with, or not openly meddled with; and has, for the Ten or Eleven Years coming, a time of perfect external Peace. He himself is decided 'not to fight with a cat,' if he can get the peace kept; and for about eight years hopes confidently that this, by good management, will continue possible;-till, in the last three years, electric symptoms did again disclose themselves, and such hope more and more died away. It is well known there lay in the fates a Third Silesian War for him, worse than both the others; which is now the main segment of his History still lying ahead for us, were this Halcyon Period done. Halcyon Period counts from Christmasday, Dresden, 1745,-'from this day, Peace to the end of my life!' had been Friedrich's fond hope. But on the 9th day of September, 1756, Friedrich was again entering Dresden (Saxony some twelve days before); and the Crowning Struggle of his Life was, beyond all expectation, found to be still lying ahead for him, awfully dubious for Seven Years thereafter.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - B attle being once seen to be inevitable, it was Friedrich's plan not to wait for it, but to give it. Thanks to FriedrichWilhelm and himself, there is no Army, nor ever was any, in such continual preparation. Military people say, 'Some Countries take six months, some twelve, to get in motion for war: but in three weeks Prussia can be across the marches, and upon the throat of its enemy.' Which is an immense advantage to little Prussia among its big neighbors. 'Some Countries have a longer sword than Prussia; but none can unsheathe it so soon:'-we hope, too, it is moderately sharp, when wielded by a deft hand. The French, as was intimated, are in great vigor, this Year; thoroughly provoked; and especially since Friedrich sent his Rothenburg among them, havebeen doing their very utmost. Their main effort is in the Netherlands, at present;-and indeed, as happened, continues all through this War to be. They by no means intend, or ever did, to neglect Teutschland; yet it turns out, they have pretty much done with their fighting there. And next Year, driven or led by accidents of various kinds, they quit it altogether; and turning theirwhole strength upon the Netherlands and Italy, chiefly on the Netherlands, leave Friedrich, much to his astonishment, with the GermanWar hanging wholly round HIS neck, and take no charge of it farther! In which, to Friedrich's Biographers, there is this inestimable benefit, if far the reverse to Friedrich's self: That we shall soon have done with the French, then; with them and with so much else; and may, in time coming, for most part, leave their huge Sorcerer's Sabbath of a European War to dance itself out, well in the distance, not encumbering us farther, like a circumambient Bedlam, as it has hitherto done. Courage, reader! Let us give, in a glance or two, some notion of the course things took, and what moment it was when Friedrich struck in;-whom alone, or almost alone, we hope to follow thenceforth; 'Dismal Swamp' (so gracious was Heaven to us) lying now mostly to rearward, little as we hoped it! It was mere accident, a series of bad accidents, that led King Louis and his Ministers into gradually forsaking Friedrich. They were the farthest in the world from intending such a thing. Contrariwise, what brain-beating, diplomatic spider-weaving, practical contriving, now and afterwards, for that object; especially now! Rothenburg, Noailles, Belleisle, Cardinal Tencin, have been busy; not less the mistress Chateauroux, who admires Friedrich, being indeed a high-minded unfortunate female, as they say; and has thrown out Amelot, not for stammering alone. They are able, almost high people, this new Chateauroux Ministry, compared with some; and already show results. …
