Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
Excerpt from Minor Orders The purpose of seminaries being to prepare ecclesiastics for ordinations, it would seem that the most common topics of a seminarian's meditations should be such interesting, and to him, vitally important subjects as the nature of the Orders he is to receive, the powers which they confer, the virtues which they require, the duties which they impose, the graces to which they entitle their recipient and the fruits which they ought to produce. What is more suited to touch his heart, to make him feel the necessity of perfection, to give him a taste for piety and a love for prayer! As a matter of fact, however, ordinands seldom meditate on these topics. The reason is that most of them, in their mental prayer, confine themselves to the subjects proposed to the community; subjects which must be adapted to the general needs of all and not to the special requirements of the smaller number who are preparing for the reception of some particular order. It was to meet these special requirements that this book was written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Greek Prose Composition (Classic Reprint)
Author: Henry Carr Pearson
Publisher: CUP Archive
ISBN:
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

The MGA
Author: John Price Williams
Publisher: Veloce Publishing
ISBN: 9781845849627
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This new book is the definitive study of the MGA, for the author has gone back to factory records and to the people who worked on the car in the 'fifties, to find out how it was conceived, manufactured and marketed. Here is the real story of the MGA's engineering, body styling and every aspect of the car's development and production - including MG's strategy to beat its competitors. In seven years of production, there were major successes and sad disappointments. The MGA was the car that was "right first time" and though the Twin Cam variant was a nightmare for the factory, it is now the most sought after model. This book tells how the sleepy Thames-side village of Abingdon became a mass-production centre for the MGA, how the MGA became one of America's best-loved sports cars and how the MGA has become one of today's classic cars, cherished by enthusiastic owners all over the world.

A Book of Cambridge Verse (Classic Reprint)

ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 532
Book Description
Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Classical Christianity and the Political Order
Author: Ernest L. Fortin
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 9780847682775
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
In Volume Two of Ernest Fortin: Collected Essays, Fortin deals with the relationship between religion and civil society in a Christian context: that of an essentially nonpolitical but by no means entirely otherwordly religion, many of whose teachings were thought to be fundamentally at odds with the duties of citizenship. Sections focus upon Augustine and Aquinas, on Christianity and politics; natural law, natural rights, and social justice; and Leo Strauss and the revival of classical political philosophy. Fortin's treatment of these and related themes betrays a keen awareness of one of the significant intellectual events of our time: the recovery of political philosophy as a legitimate academic discipline.

Three Bedrooms in Manhattan
Author: Georges Simenon
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1590175611
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
An actor, recently divorced, at loose ends in New York; a woman, no less lonely, perhaps even more desperate than the man: they meet by chance in an all-night diner and are drawn to each other on the spot. Roaming the city streets, hitting its late-night dives, dropping another coin into yet another jukebox, these two lost souls struggle to understand what it is that has brought them, almost in spite of themselves, together. They are driven—from moment to moment, from bedroom to bedroom—to improvise the most unexpected of love stories, a tale of suspense where risk alone offers salvation. Georges Simenon was the most popular and prolific of the twentieth century’s great novelists. Three Bedrooms in Manhattan—closely based on the story of his own meeting with his second wife—is his most passionate and revealing work.
