Nineteenth Century Collections Online: European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes the full-text of more than 9,500 English, French and German titles. The collection is sourced from the remarkable library of Victor Amadeus, whose Castle Corvey collection was one of the most spectacular discoveries of the late 1970s. The Corvey Collection comprises one of the most important collections of Romantic era writing in existence anywhere -- including fiction, short prose, dramatic works, poetry, and more -- with a focus on especially difficult-to-find works by lesser-known, historically neglected writers.The Corvey library was built during the last half of the 19th century by Victor and his wife Elise, both bibliophiles with varied interests. The collection thus contains everything from novels and short stories to belles lettres and more populist works, and includes many exceedingly rare works not available in any other collection from the period. These invaluable, sometimes previously unknown works are of particular interest to scholars and researchers.European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes: * Novels and Gothic Novels* Short Stories* Belles-Lettres* Short Prose Forms* Dramatic Works* Poetry* Anthologies* And moreSelected with the guidance of an international team of expert advisors, these primary sources are invaluable for a wide range of academic disciplines and areas of study, providing never before possible research opportunities for one of the most studied historical periods.Additional MetadataPrimary Id: B1036002PSM Id: NCCOF0063-C00000-B1036002DVI Collection Id: NCCOC0062Bibliographic Id: NCCO021866Reel: 8910MCODE: 4UVCOriginal Publisher: Printed for A.

Volume III from the three-part series combining the collected works of John Neal. Includes detailed analysis of Ancient Egyptian metrology, investigations into ancient American measures, and an introductory essay "The Demystification of Metrology".

The Centenary of the 'war to end all wars' has brought to prominence both the pain and the pride of the armed forces. But it also raises some perennial questions about such forces, the place of Christians within them, and the Christian response to commemorating the events of war.This booklet sets out to outline the place and role of armed forces and the 'Just War' theory, to look at some of the pressures under which personnel of the modern Western world's militaries serve as well as some of the moral issues surrounding the existence and the use of these same forces. It spends some time discussing the place of Christians in the military and the role of chaplains as God's servants and witnesses within it. Finally it makes some observations and suggestions about commemoration ceremonies, both of wars in general and individual battles in particular. John Neal was ordained in 1968 in Nelson, New Zealand and served in parishes in that country plus five years in the Diocese of Quebec as Priest/Pilot in their Labrador Mission. He enlisted in the RNZAF in 1986 and served for 23 years, rising to Principal Defence Chaplain of the NZ Defence Force before retiring in 2009. He is currently Priest Assistant (part time) at the Church of the Nativity, Blenheim.
