JOHN MUIR JOHN MUIR: GEOLOGIST, EXPLORER, NATURALIST And Nature, the old nurse, took The child upon her knee, Saying: "Here is a story-book Thy Father has written for thee."

My Dear Old Friend -

Little Margaret, with her father and mother, drove up tonight shortly after you left, and I had the pleasure of putting your gift into her little hand. She looked at it and said "money," and I saw it safely transferred to her mother's safe keeping, who will doubtless write her thanks.
As for me I do not feel at all satisfied with

I have read several selections from the two former works in the Friday Club which have been received so enthusiastically that several have purchased the books. I think his vocabulary and style the most charming. Sometimes a whole chapter will read like a poem. He is altogether the leading writer in his own special subjects and I am a proud and happy old Dolly in that I can boast that …

Statute Of Uses And The Modern Deed, John R. Rood

Articles

To what extent does the modem conveyance of estates in land in the United States by deed derive its validity from the English Statute of Uses, 27 Hen. 8, c. IO? No doubt the student, and especially the teacher, is inclined to magnify the importance of mere matters of history, because it is so much easier to understand or explain many of the terms and doctrines of real property law by approaching them historically, and, indeed, many of them cannot otherwise be understood at all. And yet we all have this constant, serious, and often difficult task, of separating matter …

Lecture One: Freehand Charity Of The 14th Century, Earl Clement Davis

Origins of Modern Religion, Modern Charity and Modern Labor Problems

This begins with the Papal Bull of 1302 by Pope Boniface VIII asserting the absolute divine right to rule over the world both spiritually and temporally. It then looks back at the contributions of Greece (ideas and knowledge), Judaism (monotheism and religion), Rome (governance and administration), and then the Germanic tribes (individual liberty) leading up to the reformation and beyond.
