This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1850 edition. Excerpt: ...I found the objects I was in search of in the bank in which I had deposited them. These I removed, and, bringing them with me, retraced my steps to Austra Beach, where I arrived after much fatigue. The distance of Sidney Cove from Austra Beach is about ten miles; and as I had been much reduced in strength by long fasting and insufficient food for some days, in conjunction with an almost sleepless night, towards the close of my journey I could scarcely place one foot before another; and when I reached our boat was glad to avail myself of what provision my companions had prepared for me and of what rest I could obtain. During my absence the remainder of the party had brought the oars, spars, and other things from the opposite side of the " haul-over," and deposited them near the boat to be in readiness when we next launched her. Here we remained some days, detained as usual by stress of weather and violent winds which prevented our crossing the bay; but as soon as the wind abated and the atmosphere became more settled and favourable we dismantled our hut, launched the boat, and putting some additional spars found upon the shore into it, in conjunction with those we formerly had, we pulled across the bay and landed on the opposite side, between Captain Matley's Island and the Bluffs, which were more to the eastward. Here we again hauled our boat up, and built her into a hut rj usual, intending to use this as our night-station for a time until we had removed our building materials to Long Point, where we had determined upon erecting our house. After a day or two of rest we proceeded with our work, which now consisted in carrying the spars, &c, to their destination, and in doing this we had to travel along the series of stony...

The Brill Dictionary of Gregory of Nyssa
Author: Lucas Francisco Mateo Seco
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004169652
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 840
Book Description
The Brill Dictionary of Gregory of Nyssa is the fruit of wide-ranging collaboration between experts in Philology, Philosophy, History and Theology. These scholars shared the desire to develop a comprehensive reference work that would help attract more people to the tudy of the 'Father of Fathers' and assist them in their work. Gregory of Nyssa's thought is at once quintessentially classic and modern, as it speaks directly to the contemporary reader. As interest in Gregory has increased along with the number of works devoted to him, the need for a comprehensive introduction and bibliographical reference work has arisen. In order to meet this need, more than forty scholars from various disciplines and perspectives have contributed to this work. In two hundred articles, the Brill Dictionary of Gregory of Nyssa provides a symphonic vision of the studies on Gregory of Nyssa and his thought.
