A Study of English Words
by Jessie Macmillan Anderson
A Study of English Words is a study of the growth of the English language. Anderson's book is not a dictionary or an examination of grammatical principles, but rather a detailed examination of the English language and the changes it had undergone as of the late nineteenth century. The book opens with a chapter on the defining principals of language development in which Anderson outlines his belief in the importance of etymology. The book then proceeds to examine the major changes that English words have undergone, focusing primarily on the external influences that have caused these changes. Individual chapters are devoted to Greek, Latin, and French elements in English, the artist's and scientist's use of words, the ever expanding list of synonyms for English words, and several other topics. While the author states in his preface that the book is intended as a textbook, A Study of English Words is surprisingly devoid of any review questions. Anderson's book is a thorough and competent examination of the growth of the English language. The author has appropriately identified the major forces that influence change in the language, and has effectively highlighted these changes. While the book can seem dry at times, Anderson's concise language ensures the major teaching points are never obstructed. A Study of English Words is a book that will appeal to the true English-language enthusiast. Those fascinated by the development of language will find this to be an informative and worthwhile read.
Things Kept Secret from the Foundation of the World
by Unknown Author
Probably you have read of the great successes of certain men who have made such wonderful and astounding names in the history of the world. Such men, whether they consciously or unconsciously knew the secret of their powers and successes, made themselves famous by unfolding their super conscious mind.

Now the superconscious mind contains all the secrets of Occult and Magnetic Power. Napoleon, who was a master of the Superconscious state, used to obtain practically eight hours rest in fifteen minutes by looking intently at a dark spot on the walls of his room.

Now this superconscious state is called by the Hindus "Samadhi" or superconsciousness. I will give you the principal secrets of this state and how to enter into it, so that you may develop psychic-power. There are many methods to do this with, but they are not practical, and the most of them are so mystical that the majority of sensible people would be foolish to think even of doing them, for they are dangerous. I think that the so-called trance states should be left alone, especially with the beginner.

Every night for at least a week, just before you retire, or better, just before you fall asleep, give to yourself this suggestion: "I will unfold superconsciously." Now, in a few days, you will find that you are actually thinking and acting superconsciously; this is the secret of Napoleons power.

This exercise which I am going to give you will enable you to go into the superconscious state, but you will have to practice and practice to do it. For if you do not you will merely hypnotize yourself.

There are what might be termed three bodies in man, first, the conscious, then the Think body, and then the Causal body; if you succeed, and you should do so, in entering into this Causal body, you may Levitate your body or accomplish materialisation, and also Astral body travelling and projection.
A Dictionary of Thoughts
by Tryon Edwards
We have Dictionaries of Words. Why not have a Dictionary of Thoughts? Why not a gathering of the condensed and striking thoughts of the world's best thinkers on important and interesting subjects, arranged, as in verbal dictionaries, in alphabetical order of topics, for ready reference and familiar use?

Of the brief and striking sayings of wise and good men Tillotson says: "They are of great value, like the dust of gold or the sparks of diamonds." And Johnson counts "him a benefactor of mankind who condenses the great thoughts and rules of life into short sentences that are easily impressed on the memory and recur promptly to the mind." Such laconic thoughts Swift compares to "burning glasses, as they collect the diffused rays of wit and learning in authors, and make them point with warmth and quickness on the reader's imagination." And of such thoughts it is that Coleridge says: "Let every book-worm, when in any fragrant, scarce old tome he discovers a sentence, a story, an illustration that does his heart good, hasten to give it to others."

A collection of such thoughts was begun by the writer more than fifty years ago, as a matter of personal interest and for personal use and reference, with no thought of publication. But their number and variety so increased as to suggest the plan, many years ago, of a book which might be a treasury of the best and most striking thoughts of the world's best authors.
The Complete Herbalist
Or the People Their Own Physicians By the Use of Nature's Remedies; Describing the Great Curative Properties Found in the Herbal Kingdom
by Oliver Phelps Brown
In presenting this work on Crude Organic Remedies-the Constituents of Plants, and their Officinal Preparations-I do not propose to run a tilt against any of the systems of Medical Practice, however much some of them may be opposed to common sense and reason, and to the Divine ordinances of Nature; nor shall I treat with contempt the teachings and practices of great and wonderful names, or oppose the pride, interest, expectation, and conscientious convictions of a learned, honorable, and influential profession; my object is simply to present many new and curious, if not startling facts, not only well worthy of the earnest consideration of the more intelligent portion of the community, who demand reasons the most profound to lead them to conviction of a Truth, but of the great mass of humbler people, who desire, amid all the great Reforms in human society, above all things to secure a "sound mind in a sound body," and to feel something of that exalted state of happiness which alone can arise from the possession of the most robust and rubicund physical and moral Health. It must be palpable to every thinking mind that Therapeutical and Pharmaceutical science is the very foundation of the "Healeng Art Divine." In the language of Holy Writ, "The Lord has created medicines out of the earthy and he that is wise will not abhor them."

Yea, happy he that can the knowledge gain,
To know the Eternal God made naught in vain."

The use of medicine is no doubt coincident with the History of the Human Race; but writers generally agree that medicine first became a profession among the Egyptians.
New, Old, and Forgotten Remedies
Papers By Many Writers
by Edward Pollock Anshutz
During the many years that the compiler has had the management of the publishing department of Messrs. Boericke & Tafel - long to look back over, yet short to live - so many inquiries came in for "literature," or, in the form, "where can I find something about" this, that, or the other, remedy, that finally I became convinced that there might be a niche in the great world's already over-crowded library for a book containing, in part, at least, the information desired by my numerous correspondents. This determined, and the great publishing house willing to back the enterprise, came the task of collecting the material. The work once begun, it was soon found that it is much easier to plan such a volume than to carry out the plan, for it involved no inconsiderable amount of delving in dusty piles of old journals to discover the sought for matter, which, when brought to light, had to be scanned closely to determine whether it was of a nature to justify this literary resurrection. However, in the odd hours of time that could be bestowed the work was finally completed and - the result is before you, kindly reader.

That this collection of papers has many gems is, I believe, not to be questioned; that some better papers on the remedies than those herein presented may exist is also probable; that it may contain some that are of doubtful value is not to be denied, and even some that have no right in such a book may have crept in. But what it is, it is; take the good and, in the current phrase of the hour, "forget" the rest.
Improvement of the Mind
by Isaac Watts
Written by Isaac Watts, a noted clergyman and hymn writer, the first edition of Improvement of the Mind was published 1727. Now made available once again by Forgotten Books, this republication is based on the 1885 version of the book. Watts' book is best thought of as an almost three hundred year old self-help guide. While a man of the church, Watts did not let the views of Christianity too greatly influence his thinking. Improvement of the Mind is largely based on the philosophical school of logic. Watts believed that man can improve himself through simple, conscientious activities, and has outlined these activities in this text. The book opens with a list of sixteen general rules for the improvement of knowledge. From there, Watts proceeds to narrow his focus, with subsequent chapters focused on specific topics. Sections include an overview on books and reading, a guide for study and meditation, an instructional on how to improve one's memory, and many other useful subjects. In all, twenty chapters are included, all of which contain valuable, applicable advice. It is impressive to find such practical work in a book dating to 1727. While some of the prose is clearly of 18th century origin, the concepts and ideas forwarded are every bit as useful today as the day they were written. This is an inspirational book, and one that can doubtlessly be used by individuals as a guide to self-betterment. Improvement of the Mind is a timeless work, and surely one of the first great self-improvement guides. As a practical work of philosophy, it absolutely deserves a place in your collection, whether you are a regular reader of self-help books or not. Highly recommended.
The Treasury of Ancient Egypt
Miscellaneous Chapters on Ancient Egyptian History and Archæology
by Arthur Edward Pearse Brome Weigall
The Treasury of Ancient Egypt: Miscellaneous Chapters on Ancient Egyptian History and Archaeology is the work of noted English Egyptologist Arthur Weigall. One of the world's leading experts on ancient Egypt, Weigall here passes on some of his knowledge to readers through a series of essays written on various subjects pertaining to Egyptian history. The first essay to appear in this collection is a logical one, titled The Value of Archaeology. At the time of writing, Weigall states, "though the archeologist can offer acceptable information to the painter, to the theologian, to the philologist, and indeed to most of the followers of the arts and sciences, he has nothing to give to the ordinary layman." Weigall's goal in this first essay, and subsequently in this entire collection, is thus to present the findings of archaeology to the common man while highlighting the importance of these discoveries. The author's essays deal with a variety of topics. From an examination of the temperament of Egyptians, to a story about a shipwrecked sailor, to detailed accounts of discoveries in ancient tombs, Weigall expertly leads the reader through a series of illuminating tales. Images and illustrations are present throughout the book, and while at times difficult to make out, do indeed add value to the text. While modern understanding of ancient Egypt and archaeology extends well beyond the interpretations of Weigall's era, this remains a detailed and valuable addition to the literature. An entertaining and illuminating collection, this book deserves a place in any history buff's library. The Treasury of Ancient Egypt is highly recommended.
Ancient India
2000 B.c. - 800 A.d
by Romesh Chunder Dutt
The present volume is the first of a series of Epochs Of Indian History. To write a history of India on the scale of a Freeman, or even of a Macaulay, would, from the multiplicity and diversity of detail, be a task of superhuman magnitude. The story of India during the past four thousand years is the story not of one country but of many countries, not of one nation but of many nations, told not in one language but in many languages, and influenced in turn by the greatest religions of the world. In consequence we find the best historical work in the Indian field is bestowed upon special periods or particular areas. The result is evident in the shorter histories which attempt to cover the whole ground. There is a universal want of balance; the writer insensibly, but inevitably, brings to the front the epoch he has studied in detail, or the district where his experience has been gained. The present Series will endeavour to correct this tendency by assigning each epoch to a writer who has made it a subject of special research; while it will be the task of the Editor to endeavour to preserve continuity on the one hand and to prevent overlapping on the other.
Bible Myths and Their Parallels in Other Religions
Being a Comparison of the Old and New Testament Myths and Miracles With Those of Heathen Nations of Antiquity, Considering Also Their Origin and Meaning
by T. W. Doane
The work naturally begins with the Eden myth, and is followed by a consideration of the principal Old Testament legends, showing their universality, origin and meaning. Next will be found the account of the birth of Christ Jesus, with his history until the close of his life upon earth, showing, in connection therewith, the universality of the myth of the Virgin-born, Crucified and Resurrected Saviour.

Before showing the origin and meaning of the myth (which is done in Chapter XXXIX.), we have considered the Miracles of Christ Jesus, the Eucharist, Baptism, the Worship of the Virgin, Christian Symbols, the Birthday of Christ Jesus, the Doctrine of the Trinity, Why Christianity Prospered, and the Antiquity of Pagan Religions, besides making a comparison of the legendary histories of Crishna and Jesus, and Buddha and Jesus. The concluding chapter relates to the question, What do we really know about Jesus?

In the words of Prof. Max Muller (The Science of Religion, p. 11): "A comparison of all the religions of the world, in which none can claim a privileged position, will no doubt seem to many dangerous and reprehensible, because ignoring that peculiar reverence which everybody, down to the mere fetish worshiper, feels for his own religion, and for his own god. Let me say, then, at once, that I myself have shared these misgivings, but that I have tried to overcome them, because I would not and could not allow myself to surrender either what I hold to be the truth, or what I hold still dearer than truth, the right of testing truth. Nordo I regret it. I do not say that the Science of Religion is all gain. No, it entails losses, and losses of many things which we hold dear. But this I will say, that, as far as my humble judgement goes, it does not entail the loss of anything that is essential to true religion, and that, if we strike the balance honestly, the gain is immeasurably greater than the loss."
Mathematical Handbook
Containing the Chief Formulas of Algebra, Trigonometry, Circular and Hyperbolic Functions, Differential and Integral Calculus, and Analytical Geometry, Together With Mathematical Tables
by Edwin P. Seaver
The uses which this book may serve hardly need to be pointed out. Some years ago the writer composed the part relating to Trigonometry and used it as a syllabus for instruction in his college classes. It served its purpose and soon went out of print. But a stray copy of it found its way to the table of a well-known civil engineer, to whom it proved constantly useful, and by whom it was often referred to as "his memory." This engineer has suggested a revision and republication of the original book with important enlargements. Accordingly there have been added Sections on Algebra, the Differential and Integral Calculus, and Analytic Geometry. The subject of Hyperbolic Functions, which now receives much more attention than formerly, has been more fully treated. Tables have been added, which include not only those universally used, but also some - like those of the Hyperbolic Functions, of the Natural Logarithms of Numbers, and that of the Velocity of Falling Bodies (v= 2 gh) - that have been hitherto not readily accessible.

Of course no efforts have been spared to secure correctness in the printing of the formulas and the tables; but persons experienced in such work need not be reminded of the improbability that the first edition of a book of this kind should be absolutely free from error. The writer and the publishers can only add, that notice of any errors that may be detected will be thankfully received, and the necessary corrections will be promptly made and published. Also, suggestions of desirable additions to the book and of other improvements are invited with a view to their use in possible future editions.
How to Make Money
Three Lectures on "the Laws of Financial Success"
by B. F. Austin
The purpose of these lessons is to raise the mental and spiritual vibrations of the student - to inspire hope, faith, courage - to awaken larger thought within the mind, inspire greater plans and purposes and awaken the dormant energy in the life - to fire the enthusiasm and call into active service hidden talent which the student, possibly, does not dream at his present stage of unfoldment, he possesses.

In short our purpose is to awaken men from mental slumber, show the unlimited resources in human nature, the unseen yet open doors to mental wealth first, then as a natural sequence to wealth in material conditions, and thus enlarge and ennoble the life as well as add to its material expressions.

The purpose of the true teacher - who is ever the true physician as well - must always be the "more abundant life" of which the Nazarene spoke and taught. To disclose that life, abounding life, in all its fullness and beauty and point out the laws by which it is gained, with wealth as a natural sequence, is the purpose of the three lessons on which we are entering.
Sex Knowledge for Women and Girls
What Every Woman and Girl Should Know
by William J. Robinson
For many years the author has been receiving requests to write an elementary sex book, presenting the various sex problems which are of importance to man and boy, and to woman and girl, from his point of view. "You are condemning the existing sex books. How would you impart sex knowledge to the average male and female?" This was the substance of many questions. I have given my answer in "Sex Knowledge for Men," published several months ago, and in the present volume. This contains the minimum of "What every woman and girl should know" regarding their sex. Those women - and men - who want more knowledge on the subject of sex may consult the author's "Woman: Her Sex and Love Life."
Grammar of the English Sentence
by Jonathan Rigdon
Grammar of the English Sentence is a guide to the correct usage of English grammar, with an introductory section on the parts of speech, sentences, phrases, punctuation, and an overview of some basic grammatical rules. The bulk of the work is devoted to a detailed breakdown of the parts of speech, with separate chapters devoted to nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, and several others parts of speech. Each section contains a detailed analysis that outlines the correct grammatical rules to apply to various parts of a sentence. Study exercises are suggested throughout, although not in an overt question and answer format. Jonathan Rigdon's textbook is an excellent reference for students of English. This is a foundational text that can be beneficial to both the native English speaker as well as those learning a second language. The author's writing is clear, and the book does an effective job of highlighting the important grammatical rules one must be familiar with. While not the definitive textbook on the subject matter, this is nonetheless a valuable contribution to the literature on English grammar. Grammar of the English Sentence is a well-written and concise instructional on the various parts of speech. Students of the English language seeking to better grasp grammatical concepts, whether native speakers or not, will find this to be a valuable text. Those in need of an English grammar textbook would be wise to consider adding this title to their home library.
Practical Mind-Reading
by William Walker Atkinson
Only a few years ago the general public was in almost total ignorance of the great truth of Thought Transference, Thought Projection, Telepathy, or Mind Reading. It is true that here and there were to be found a few scientists earnestly investigating and eagerly uncovering the hidden truths concerning the subjects. But the mass of the people were either entirely ignorant of the subject, or else were intensely skeptical of any thing concerning the matter, laughing to scorn the daring thinker who ventured to express his interest or belief in this great scientific phenomena.

But how different to-day. On all hands we hear of the wonders of Thought Transference, or Telepathy, as it is called. Scientific men write and teach of its fascinating manifestations, and even the general public has heard much of the new science and believes more or less in it, according to the degree of intelligence and knowledge concerning the subject possessed by the individual. Listen to these words from the lips of some of the greatest scientists of the day.
How to Write Clearly
Rules and Exercises on English Composition
by Edwin Abbott
How to Write Clearly, written by the Rev. Edwin A. Abbott, is a great paradigm of archaic English language. It was first published in 1876 and gives a lovely example of language as it was nearly 150 years ago. Abbott was an English schoolmaster, becoming headmaster of the City of London School at the tender age of 26. He was educated in mathematics, 'classics' and theology and after his retirement in 1889 he devoted the majority of his time to theological and literary pursuits. Although the book is somewhat dated in its relevance to today's world, it is still of historical significance and is a great read for anyone interested in the progression of the English language. His clear and concise instruction leaves nothing to be questioned and is still very understandable today. It is a great book, with much information still usable today, albeit with a bit of tweaking! It is a lovely book that will give you a glimpse of a bygone era as well as being informative and interesting; a really good read for anyone with a passion for language.
Mistakes Writing English, How to Avoid Them
by Marshall T. Bigelow
Mistakes Writing English and How to Avoid Them is a text authored by Marshall T. Bigelow and is intended as an instructional guide to the improvement of one's English skills. "With the exception of Wordsworth, there is not one celebrated author of this day who has written two pages consecutively without some flagrant impropriety in the grammar." It is this quote that Bigelow chooses to open his work with, a quote that demonstrates the state of the English language, at least as interpreted by some authors. The purpose of Mistakes Writing English and How to Avoid Them is to offer teachers and scholars a guide to improving their English by demonstrating some of the most common grammatical errors. The book is divided into easily digestible sections, each of which handles a different grammatical concept. Topics covered include the proper use of the article, pronouns and antecedents, the infinitive mood, use of the participle, conjunctions, prepositions, and much more. A three-part appendix sees several additional topics discussed, and the book is concluded by an index. Marshall T. Bigelow has created a thorough and accessible guide to improving one's English. The book is not intended to be a completely exhaustive overview of grammar, but rather an examination of the most common errors of the language. Many of the examples provided were lifted directly from texts that Bigelow has been responsible for editing, and demonstrate that even professional writers are not immune from making grammatical errors. Mistakes Writing English and How to Avoid Them is the sort of book that can benefit everybody that endeavors to read it. For individuals interested in learning how to avoid common errors and become a better writer, Marshall T. Bigelow's guide is essential. Clearly written and well presented, this work is highly recommended.
Pure English
A Treatise on Words and Phrases, or Practical Lessons in the Use of Language
by Fred H. Hackett
Pure English is a discourse on the proper use of English. The book opens with a preface in which the authors opine the sorry state of the language commonly seen in written works. The purpose of the work is thus to instruct readers on a variety of topics and to offer practical lessons for improving language skills. The first part of the text is dedicated to vocabulary, and functions as an abbreviated usage dictionary. Hackett and Alexander proceed to discuss eclectic grammar, a philosophy for the usage of rhetoric, faulty phrases, words of dual meaning, and several more topics. The short volume is concluded by a detailed index. The authors succeeded in creating a document that demonstrates their passion for the English language. These are grammar and vocabulary lessons designed to augment one's ability to successfully use words to convey a message. Pure English is a well-written and informative text that can be beneficial to anybody who values the proper use of language. Pure English: A Treatise on Words and Phrases, or Practical Lessons in the Use of Language is an excellent book and one that is deserving of wider readership. Hackett and Alexander have created an accessible and enjoyable volume that can serve to improve the writing of its readers, and for this reason, is a highly recommended work.
Science of Breath
A Complete Manual of the Oriental Breathing Philosophy of Physical, Mental, Psychic and Spiritual Development
by Yogi Ramacharaka
"Breath is life," so intones Yogi Ramacharaka in Science of Breath, which is "a complete manual of the oriental breathing philosophy of physical, mental, psychic, and spiritual development." This book is written with the Western student in mind, guiding him or her through yoga culture, lifestyle, and a bit of history. It starts by introducing the reader to the concept of prana, which refers to life energy. Then the author proceeds to explain various components of the nervous system, which is the one largely engaged by the techniques presented later in the book. In essence, Yogi Ramacharaka walks the reader through the physical aspect and mechanism of breathing before moving on to the psychic levels. This way, the prospective student gets to build a good foundation and reach the goal outlined by this short edition. It helps that the author supplies detailed instructions and descriptions, despite the absence of illustrations and the discussion of unconventional topics, such as thought projection, self healing, charging water, recharging others, and forming an aura. As such, the information given comes out clear and easy to understand. This may be a thin volume but is packed with practical tips on improving physical and mental wellness through something as simple and basic as breathing.
Numbers Their Occult Power and Mystic Virtues
by W. Wynn Westcott
Hebrew words I hae added the pronunciation. The Secret Doctrine of Mmc. JMavatsk, a work of immense erudition containing a vast fund of archaic doctrine, has supphed me with valuable quotations, which arc the only recent additions to this treatise. If an- readers desire a deeper insight into the analogies between numbers and ideas, I refer them in addition to the works of Eliphaz Levi, xthanasius Kircher, Godfre- Higgins, Michael laier, and John Heydon; I have quoted from each of these authorities, and Thomas Taylors Theoretic Arithmetic has supplied me with a great part of the purely arithmetical notions of the Pythagoreans, the elucidation of which was mainly due to him. In conclusion, I request my readers, Autperlcge et vecte iiitellige, Ant abstine a censiira. W.Wynx Westcott, Fra. Ros. Cru., F.T.S. 396, Camden Road, London, N.The author will be pleased to receive additions and suggestions, from earnest students of either the Eastern or Western schools of Occultism. Part I. Pythagoras, His Tenets And His Followers. Pythagoras, one of the greatest philosophers of ancient Euroje, was the son of Mnesarchus, an engraver, he was born about the year 580 B.C. either at Samos an island in the gean Sea, or as some saj-, at Sidon in Phoenicia. Very little is known of his early life, beyond the fact that he won prizes for feats of agility at the 01-mpic Games; having attained manhood, and feeling dissatisfied with the amount of knowledge to be gained at home, he left his native land and spent many years in travel, visiting in turn most of the great centres of Learning. History narrates that his pilgrimage in search ot wisdom extended to Egypt, Hindostan, Persia, Crete, and Palestine, and that he gathered from each country fresh stores of information, and succeeded in becoming well acquainted with the Esoteric Wisdom as well as with the popular esoteric knowledge of each.
Chance, Love, and Logic
Philosophical Essays
by Charles S. Peirce
Charles Sanders Peirce was one of America's greatest philosophical minds. A scientist, mathematician, chemist, and philosopher, he is known as the "father of pragmatism" and considered philosophy to be his most important pursuit. Chance, Love, and Logic: Philosophical Essays is a collection of Peirce's greatest works, containing the complete text of his books Illustrations of the Logic of Science and Love and Chance. The book opens with a preface written by editor Morris S. Cohen. In it, Cohen sets the stage for the work of Peirce, stating, "these essays are important as giving us the sources of a great deal of contemporary American philosophy." Indeed, Peirce's work is recognized as some of the most important philosophical writing ever produced by an American. An essay from Dr. John Dewey, whose work helps to contextualize the pragmatism of Peirce, concludes this collection. In between these bookends, it is the terrific essays of Peirce that make up the meat of this collection. His opening writings, The Fixation of Belief, How to Make Our Ideas Clear, and The Doctrine of Chances, are perhaps his most well-known and influential works, and serve to lay the groundwork for his concept of pragmatism. While any of Peirce's essays stand alone quite well, they become more powerful and prophetic when digested together. Charles Peirce writes in a clear and accessible manner. Readers need not be well-versed in philosophical writings in order to enjoy this book. Rather, these essays are a terrific entry point to the school of pragmatism and philosophy as a whole. As an excellent waypoint into the mind of one of America's greatest thinkers, this book is highly recommended for anybody remotely interested in philosophy, or how the world that surrounds us all can be organized and interpreted.
Jesus and What He Said
by Arthur Salter Burrows
Jesus said, "Search the Scriptures, because ye think that in them ye have eternal life: and these are they which testify of me."

This book contains a compilation of Bible truths, based upon What Jesus Said. Contextual completeness. No comment is added. Dogmatic arrangement is avoided.

Part I. gives the consecutive order of His human life.

Part II. presents the teachings of Jesus. Each first selection under the given subject is inserted in its full text. Following are all the references in His teachings upon the same subject. Old Testament Illustrations reveal Prophecy and Promise: also many other references for practical application.

This work will help Ministers of the Gospel in their analytic use of the Scriptures. Each page Subject may likewise aid Sermon preparation. The work will assist Sunday School Teachers, and Leaders of Young People's Meetings. It will help all who wish to study the Sayings of Him Who "spake as never man spake."

A complete Index to Subjects and Topical References is added.

Part III., Doctrinal and General Index. One hundred subjects. Two thousand topics. Also, Scripture names not directly referred to through the teachings of Jesus.
Seeing the Invisible
Practical Studies in Psychometry, Thought Transference, Telepathy, and Allied Phenomena
by James Coates
Psychic Science has made great progress during the last fifty years, but the facts with which it has had to deal are as old as mankind; but that does not make the work the less valuable. Facts - albeit Psychological and Psychical - denied fifty years ago, or deemed only worthy the attention of the superstitious or the ignorant, have, after all, been found to be facts, and as the result of investigations of men and women who were equal, if not superior, to their contemporaries in the highest walks of Science, Philosophy, Theology, Literature and Art, not only at home, but abroad also.

These investigations go to prove, not merely that man has a soul - using the term in the popular sense - and may live in some obscure way in after-death states, but that he is a Soul here and now.
A Book of Myths
by Jean Lang
This book, all 395 pages of it, features 34 fascinating stories of both famous and not-so-well-known mythical entities – Pygmalion, Adonis, Lorelei, Beowulf, Echo and Narcissus, Prometheus and Pandora, Niobe, and Roland the Paladin, among others. Some of the stories come with beautiful drawings by Helen Stratton, illustrating the antics and exploits of the main character. Why a book filled with stories that has already been told and retold in other published compilations? It is worth noting that this collection dates back to 1915, a time when such types of compilations are not yet in abundance. Aside from that, the author, Jeanie Lang, stressed in her preface that the stories "are not presented to the student of folklore as a fresh contribution to his knowledge." Instead, the book is said to be more apt for those who "frequently come across names which possess for them no meaning and who care to read some old stories, through which runs the same humanity that their own hearts know." "For although the old worship has passed away, it is almost impossible for us to open a book that does not contain some mention of the gods of long ago," she explained in the next line. Indeed, the entities featured in this book have been used as references in modern writings of a different genre. As such, this volume proves to be a trusty reading companion for the reader seeking to unveil the story behind the name. The stories are told beautifully in great detail and are supplemented by verses from famed poets (Shakespeare, Byron, and Milton, among others), which added depth to the stories and their characters. If you enjoy this book then we also recommend you read Hindu Mythology, Vedic and Purânicy by William Joseph Wilkins as it provides a selection of myths of Hindu origin.
The Human Mind
A Text-Book of Psychology
by James Sully
Vol. 1 of 2
The Human Mind by James Sully is an interesting read on the subject of philosophy. Sully was a prominent figure in the psychological world, being one of the founding members of the British Psychological Society and Grote Professor of the Philosophy of Mind and Logic for University College in London. His writings were some of the first on the subject to be written in English and have been commended by well known psychologists such as Freud and Wundt. The book is a textbook that further expands on Sully's ideas that had previously been mentioned in his 'Outlines of Psychology'. It provides an interesting insight into the ideas of the time, giving a thorough description of the then revolutionary new ideas and theories. The book is in two volumes due to its complex and meticulous nature and is a beautifully detailed look at the psychological findings of the time. A brilliant read for anyone interested in the historical significance of many modern day theories and those directly interested in the theories of the great James Sully.
A Higher English Grammar
by Alexander Bain
If you are interested in the English language and how it has evolved over the years then A Higher English Grammar by Alexander Bain is a great choice to read. Bain was a Scottish philosopher and educationalist in the 19th century and was played a significant role in psychology, educational reform and linguistics. He was appointed Regius Chair of Logic and the Regius Chair of English Literature at the University of Aberdeen in 1860 and it was during his time in these roles that he wrote A Higher English Grammar. It is an interesting and in-depth look at the English language both written and spoken and also includes a fascinating and complex look at etymology, as well as thoroughly investigating the correct use of verbs, adverbs, adjectives and nouns. A well written book aimed at both the student and the general reader, Bain's meticulous and exhaustive look into the world of language is both astounding and stimulating; a truly great read for anyone interested in this subject.

How is the New Medicare Drug Benefit Working for You?
January 9, 2006
The new Medicare drug benefit went into effect on January 1. During the initial days of this benefit, NAMI is hearing both positive and negative stories from across the country about the initial transition period to the new benefit -- especially among low-income individuals with severe mental illness who are "dually eligible" for both Medicare and Medicaid. While some "dual eligibles are getting their prescriptions consistent with the new law -- uninterrupted refills at only $1 for a generic medication and $3 for brand name medication, others have experienced severe problems at the pharmacy counter. These problems include:
In most cases, these problems are the result of Medicare prescription drug plans and pharmacies NOT abiding by the rules set forth by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that administers Medicare. NAMI is working aggressively to address these problems. As part of this effort, the NAMI National staff is compiling specific cases of problems being experienced by dual eligible beneficiaries with mental illness in order to press CMS to correct problems encountered during this initial transition period.
Please Let NAMI Know About Your Experiences With Medicare Part D
If you (or a family member) have personal experience with the new Medicare drug benefit (positive or negative) -- particularly as with specific pharmacies and Medicare drug plans -- please let us know. NAMI will protect the confidentiality of all submissions, although the name(s) of the denied medication, Medicare drug plan, and pharmacy involved will be important (i.e., the name of the dual eligible beneficiary is not needed). You can contact the NAMI National staff with your personal experiences under Medicare Part D at: email@example.com or call toll-free 1-888/999-6264 ext. 1228.
A Few Tips and Reminders at the Pharmacy Counter
Transition for Dual Eligibles
Of particular concern to NAMI are the 6.3 million Medicare beneficiaries who are also eligible for Medicaid – the so-called dual eligibles. For these individuals (as many 1/3 of whom have a mental illness), participation in the new Medicare drug benefit is mandatory and coverage of prescriptions under their state Medicaid programs ended as of midnight December 31.
To ensure seamless coverage, dual eligibles have been automatically enrolled in a new Medicare drug plan and that plan must offer immediate coverage. Most dual eligibles received an auto-enrollment notice from Medicare in November. Dual eligibles are strongly encouraged to hold on to this letter and bring it with them to their pharmacist starting January 1. However, even without the letter from Medicare, all retail pharmacists are supposed to be able to instantly verify plan enrollment (typically, with a Social Security number or Medicare enrollment number). In other words, while the enrollment letter or enrollment card can be helpful, what really matters is electronic verification at the pharmacy counter. This verification is not just of the individual's enrollment, but also their status as a dual eligible beneficiary.
Obligations of the Medicare Drug Plans Serving Dual Eligibles
The Medicare drug plans that dual eligibles have been enrolled in are required to meet the following standards:
FAQs on the transition for dual eligible beneficiaries
What happens to dual eligibles that were not auto-enrolled (or were not notified of auto-enrollment) prior to January 1?
No government program has ever transitioned 6.3 million people without a mistake and the new Medicare drug program is unlikely to be an exception. Some dual eligibles have not been auto-enrolled (due to the discrepancies between state and federal lists) or have not received enrollment notices (inaccurate mailing addresses, clerical errors, etc.). To deal with such cases, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS – the federal agency that administers Medicare) has set up a "Point of Sale" system that will allow a dual eligible to immediately get their prescriptions filled and initiate immediate auto-enrollment.
How does the "Point of Sale" System Operate?
A dual eligible must present proof of eligibility in both programs. This can be their Medicare enrollment number and any proof that they are Medicaid eligible (Medicaid card, letter from Social Security declaring SSI eligibility, even asking the pharmacist to check on the computer to see that Medicaid paid for a prescription prior to January 1). Once the beneficiary demonstrates proof of eligibility for both programs, the pharmacy is required to fill the prescription and charge only $1 for a generic drug and $3 for a brand name drug. The pharmacist is also required to initiate enrollment by alerting a national vendor, who will verify the individual's dual eligibility status and auto-enroll them in a national plan. All of this is designed to take place at the pharmacy counter so that the dual eligible is able to get the prescriptions filled immediately and ensure rapid enrollment in a Medicare drug plan.
Are pharmacies required to collect the $1/$3 cost sharing from dual eligible beneficiaries?
Sort of. The law appears to require that dual eligibles meet their cost sharing obligations ($1 for a generic drug, $3 for a brand name drug). However, the regulations specifically mention that a retail pharmacist can, at their discretion, waive cost sharing for a dual eligible. However, a retail pharmacist cannot establish a blanket policy to waive cost sharing for all dual eligibles, nor can they advertise their willingness to forgo cost sharing for dual eligibles. As a result, some pharmacies may be reluctant to waive cost sharing. At the same time, nothing prevents a pharmacist from allowing a third party – including a family member or friend from making co-payments on the dual eligible's behalf.
Are all pharmacies participating in the new Medicare drug benefit?
Yes. However, not every pharmacy – whether a chain drug store or an independent retailer – is part of every drug plan's pharmacy network. The law requires every Medicare drug plan to have an adequate pharmacy network – based on geographic proximity to plan enrollees (including dual eligibles). Drug plans are also required to disclose to enrollees the pharmacies that are in their network. Dual eligibles can switch drug plans at any time if they wish to move to a plan that includes a specific pharmacy.
Will Medicare beneficiaries who reside in IMDs, group homes, supportive housing programs, or other congregate settings that offer on-site pharmacies (or have agreements with a pharmacy) be able to continue to get their medications as before?
In some cases, yes. As noted above, every drug plan will have its own pharmacy network. Unfortunately, this does not mean that most Medicare drug plans have established contracts or relationships with in-house pharmacies in IMDs, group homes, board and care homes, supportive housing, etc. It is critically important for CMHCs, public mental health agencies, and non-profits that manage supportive housing programs to know which plans their dual eligible tenants have been enrolled in and to reach out to these plans and insist that their pharmacies be included in each drug plan's network.
CMS has provided guidance to every Medicare drug plan encouraging them to do this. There is no legal or regulatory barrier preventing in-house pharmacies from continuing to provide medications to their residents who are dual eligible beneficiaries. It just requires them to deal with a new entity (a Medicare drug plan), as opposed to Medicaid or the state mental health authority. NAMI is especially concerned that Medicare drug plans have not done the work necessary to ensure that systems that have traditionally worked to provide medications to dual eligibles with mental illness can continue to do so under the drug benefit. This may be further complicated by difficulties that CMHC administrators, case managers, and other treatment professionals have been experiencing in finding out which plans the consumers they serve have been enrolled in.
Are there other web-based resources with information on Medicare Part D enrollment?

Xerneas (Japanese: ゼルネアス Zeruneasu) is a new Pokémon that is a Legendary Pokémon to be released in Pokémon X and Y. It is unclear what type of Pokémon it is and may be based on a Chital. In the glint of its eyes is the shape of the letter "X", hence the title of the game and when it stands, its body seems to be in the shape of an "X".
OriginIts name may be reference to the Celtic "Horned god", Cernunnos. Its form may be a reference to Norse mythology guardians of the Yggdrasil Tree: a bird-like creature that protects the top of the tree, this may be Yveltal, a deer-like creature that protects the soil and trunk of the tree, this may be Xerneas, and a snake-like creature that protects the underworld below the tree. If this is right then there might be a snake-like legendary Pokémon to go with Xerneas and Yveltal.
Its name may start with an X because it represents the X axis in the 3D axis of X,Y and Z.
- Xerneas is the second Pokémon to have a name to start with X, the first one being Xatu.
- Xerneas is the only legendary Pokémon which name starts with X.
- Xerneas is the first legendary Pokémon to have more than 2 horns.
- Xerneas bears a resemblance to the Legendary Pokemon Arceus due that it legs are a similar form and Sawsbuck due to it looks like a Deer, has similar horn except Xerneas has multiple horns that are small, that are multicolored, and that branch off like a tree.
- Xerneas resembles the Deer Spirit "Shishigami" from Hayao Miyazaki's film, Princess Mononoke.

Solar cookers have been used in refugee camps in recent years, often with thousands of refugee families preparing a large part of their daily meals on solar cookers. Project evaluations have shown that fuelwood use has been reduced by up to 40%. Integrated cooking projects have been established in refugee camps Eastern Africa and Nepal. A November 2009 report from onsite visit to the Touloum Refugee Camp in Chad shows strong uptake of integrated cooking by refugee families.The refugees in some camps are not given any firewood to cook their daily rations. They have to travel, sometimes overnight, as far as 30 km to collect firewood. In other camps, the refugees are not allowed to gather wood in the area surrounding the camp. In this case, the refugees may be forced to trade some of their food rations for firewood or charcoal with which to cook their remaining meager rations.
As of 2012, Jewish World Watch reports that as a result of a joint security force between Chad and Sudan, violence against women has declined some since the project began seven years ago. Cord, their partner at the Farchana Refugee Camp, sees solar cooking as a way to keep girls in school, and not spending hours finding fuelwood for cooking.
Most significant projects
- The Solar Cooker Project helps to improve the lives of Darfur refugees living in Chad - More than 50,000 people in four Darfur refugee camps in Eastern Chad are using locally made solar CooKits designed by Solar Cookers International. The project is run by Tchad Solaire and by the British NGO CORD. It is funded by Jewish World Watch and the Kozon Foundation. The project has improved the safety and survival of the women in the refugee camps. Previously, they were faced with dangerous and arduous trips outside the camps to collect scarce firewood.
- 85,000 refugees from Bhutan have solar cooked their meals in Nepal - The Vajra Foundation Holland (Stichting Vajra) has worked in the Bhutanese refugee camps in Nepal since 1995 to bring solar cooking and heat-retention cooking to the refugees there. By 2013 some 85,000 refugees were cooking their meals using these methods. The on-the-ground work is done by Vajra Foundation Nepal and financing is provided by the Dutch Lottery and the Dutch NGO Stichting Vluchteling.
- See other Most significant solar cooking projects worldwide.
News and recent developments
- January 2012: Jewish World Watch has provided a grant of $200,000 USD to the UK NGO Cord to provide CooKits to refugees at the Farchana Refugee Camp in Chad. This new project brings the number of refugee camps where solar cooking projects are underway to ten.
- (See individual refugee camp pages below for more extensive news.)
Best Practices Manual
Jewish World Watch has created a manual that details what has been learned that will assure a successful refugee project: Solar Cooker Project: Best Practices Manual
Recent projects in refugee camps in Chad
- Information for this section was extracted from the Solar Cooker Project: Best Practices Manual.
Since 2003, when war erupted in northern Sudan, over 285,000 Darfur refugees have fled to neighboring Chad to escape the genocide in their country. They settled in twelve UN refugee camps along Chad's eastern border with Sudan. This massive influx of people has created unsustainable environmental pressures in an already arid region.
Refugee camps have now become the "largest cities" in eastern Chad, a region that has traditionally been populated with scattered villages of only a few hundred people. For almost a decade, humanitarian agencies have trucked firewood into these refugee camps for monthly distribution.
Although this imported wood is costing donor agencies millions of dollars per year and its collection is decimating forests to the south, it does not provide refugee families with sufficient cooking fuel. Initially women in the camps supplemented their monthly ration by collecting "dead wood", but when that supply was exhausted, both refugees and local Chadians began to chop down live trees for fuel. In their desperate search for firewood, they have destroyed trees that took decades to grow. Additionally, women and girls who left the safety of the camp to collect firewood were often attacked and raped. This has damaged the fragile sources of groundwater that these trees protected, and it is rapidly turning an already arid land into a barren desert.
In early 2005, Dr. Derk Rijks of KoZon, a Dutch foundation that promotes solar cooking, heard about the massive influx of Darfuris into eastern Chad. He recognized the need to reduce the environmental degradation caused by the unsustainable use of wood for cooking fuel by the tens of thousands of refugees who had flooded into that sparsely populated desert habitat. He was particularly concerned about the gender-based violence suffered by women and girls who had to leave their refugee camps to collect firewood. In partnership with a group of Chadian citizens, Rijks founded a local non-profit, TchadSolaire, meaning "Chadian Sun", and introduced the cardboard and aluminum foil solar "CooKit" into the Iridimi Refugee Camp near Chad's border with northern Sudan.
In May 2006, Jewish World Watch (JWW) adopted this project, named it the "Solar Cooker Project," and began raising funds to support its expansion. As a result of its successful efforts in Chad and elsewhere in Africa, JWW has become a global leader in the fight against genocide and mass atrocities, engaging individuals and communities throughout the United States to take action.
Following the successful introduction of solar cookers into the Iridimi camp, Tchad Solaire brought this technology to the Touloum Refugee Camp (population 24,505) in 2007 and the Oure Cassoni Refugee Camp (population 31,917) in 2008. Solar cooker manufacturing workshops were built in each camp. Refugee women recruited by TchadSolaire learned new skills and earned money for their families by assembling solar cookers, weaving heat-retention baskets, leading training sessions and conducting follow-up visits to households throughout the camps. When fuel-efficient stoves—provided by international donors or made by the refugees—were used in combination with solar cookers and heat-retention baskets, trips outside the camps for firewood were reduced by 86%.[1]
The "Solar Cooker Project" in Chad has provided a tangible way to help the tens of thousands of people from the Darfur region of Sudan who were forced to abandon their homes and their country. In partnership with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), KoZon, and Solar Cookers International, JWW has taken the lead as the key funder and supporter of this project.
In early 2011, JWW expanded its partnership to include Christian Outreach for Relief and Development (CORD–a UKbased NGO working in Chad), to launch a solar cooker project in the Farchana Refugee Camp (population 21,448). The goal of JWW is to eventually establish solar cooker projects in all twelve Darfur refugee camps in Chad.

Lewiston police said a fire that burned several apartment buildings late Friday is suspicious.
LEWISTON, Maine (AP) _ Police told the Portland Press Herald that witnesses had reported seeing a young man fleeing from the scene at Bartlett and Pierce streets. Officials said at least one of the buildings had been condemned.
The Lewiston Sun Journal reported that about 20 families were displaced and many of them spent the night at Lewiston High School.
The fires struck just days after a blaze that destroyed three apartment buildings just a few blocks away and caused an estimated $1 million in damage.

What is an Overdraft?
An overdraft occurs when you do not have enough money in your account to cover a payment you have authorized, but the bank pays it as an accommodation, trusting that you will repay the amount of the overdraft.
What are the different options if I want payments paid when there is not enough money in the account to cover them?
What does the overdraft regulation do?
The amendment prohibits financial institutions from charging consumers fees for paying overdrafts on ATM and everyday debit card transactions, unless a consumer consents in advance, or "opts-in," to the overdraft service for those types of transactions.
If I 'opt-in', will the bank always pay my ATM and everyday debit card transactions?
No. Unless you have signed up to link your checking account to another account such as an overdraft line of credit, the bank does not guarantee that your ATM and everyday debit card transaction will be paid even if you opt-in. These standard overdraft services are an accommodation provided at the bank's discretion.
If I do NOT 'opt-in", does it mean that I will never overdraw my account using my debit card for ATM or everyday transactions?
No. There are limited circumstances when it will not be possible for the bank to avoid paying an ATM or other debit card transaction you made, even if there is not enough money in your account. You should not assume that because the ATM or other debit card transaction goes through that there is enough money in your account to cover it. In these cases, the bank may not charge you an overdraft fee, but you still must re-pay the bank to cover the overdraft.
Beyond standard overdraft practices and linking my checking account to another account to cover overdrafts, are there other ways to avoid overdrafts?
The easiest way to avoid overdrafts is to keep track of your transactions and balance. Alerts are a great way for you to stay informed about activity of your accounts. You can receive timely notifications via email or text messages to your cell phone alerting you if your account balance falls below a specified amount, if a direct deposit is made to your account, and many more. To sign up for alerts, login to your Online Banking account.
How do I 'opt-in'?
If you want to keep the standard overdraft protection services on your debit card, you may choose to do one of the following:

Anyone know how to edit the post titles?
Welcome Aboard Governor.
Anyone know how to edit the post titles?
Last edited by Gayle in MD; 12-08-2012 at 11:29 AM. Reason: Typo error in title
Used to be possible in the edit function, which I do not see any longer.
So, just go with it:
Charlie Christ Joining Tha Bla Party (thanks Rick Santorum!)
UPDATE: the edit function button is right there (here?), and it appears to allow a title change as well.
So now all th dembots will obediently agree with a man they formerly obediently disagreed with ... an never realize they were played.
BTW ... is this Charlie fellow another brother of Jesus?
Hmmm, I couldn't even get the cursor to react in the title line???
Good point! Just like the Dems embraced the long-time GOP Senator Arlen Specter after he switched parties in '09, you mean, right?
Oh wait-- Specter was defeated in the '10 primary by the real Democrat in that primary, Joe Sestak, even though Arlen was given the official seal of approval by Clinton, and perhaps Obama.
I won't lie that the Florida Dems aren't anxious to get Gov. Lex Luthor, I mean Rick Scott, out of office. They are. Whether they'll decide Crist is the vehicle to accomplish that, given his profoundly damaged brand name, is far from a certainty (see Specter, Arlen).
Here's the Crooks and Liars site's take on his switch (hint: a bit different from your claims):
Florida Dems are very unhappy about this. OFA has done an end run around their process without even consulting them, and pretty much sidelined their efforts to get a progressive Democrat back in the state house. Think about all the races that OFA absolutely ignored. Why support Charlie Crist, who has all the integrity of a used car salesman? (Comparing the two is probably an insult to used care salesmen everywhere.)
One Florida activist told me that Morgan & Morgan (the tobacco settlement law firm where Crist is affiliated and one of the biggest funders of the Florida Democratic Party) have put a "no money unless Crist is your candidate for Governor" string, "and everyone at the top has grabbed hold of the string without thinking twice."
And it's also rather widely known that Charlie Crist has a Jim McGreevy problem. I wonder how the Bible thumpers of Florida will react when the Republicans start pushing the story they kept under wraps -- as long as Charlie was a Republican.
I reckon they are going to crucyfy Him.
But He might arize on the third day.
In any case i kan feel a book kumming on.
