The Life and Epistles of St. PaulVolume IIBy Thomas Lewin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making.

The Itinerary of Rabbi Benjamin of Tudela By S. Asher Volume II Bibliography The present work, though well known to the learned of the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries, was not printed before the year 1543, when the first edition appeared at Constantinople; numerous reprints were called for in the course of time, of which the following is a catalogue. Editions in Hebrew Only: 1. This, the first edition, is so extremely rare, that notwithstanding the most diligent search, I have not been able to meet with any complete copy. It has been in the 'Bibliotheque Royale' at Paris, but upon my inquiries after it--inquiries which met with the kindest attention--it could nowhere be found! The Oppenheim division of the Bodleian library contains and incomplete copy of this rare book, being deficient of the first 14 pages or one quarter of the whole work. In consequence of this unfortunate circumstance, I have not been able to report the title as fully as I ought to have done, according tot he rules of bibliography. Like most other hebrew books, which issued from the early Constantinople prresses, this is but a very poor specimen of correctness and typography. All the mistakes of this 'Princeps' have unfortunately crept into the editions noticed below No. 3. 4. and 10., and have led the translators into error. The rarity constitutes the only value of this edition. On the title a globe in a square, surrounded by hebrew verses; the preface on the verso of the title. 2. This second edition is perhaps rarer still than the first, and having evidently been printed from another MS, is indispensably necessary for a critique of the work. The text is much purer than that of the former, and in many instances its readings give a sense, where the former is too corrupt to be understood. Unfortunately this Edition was unknown to the early translators, B. Arias Montanus and L'Empereur, who would have made less mistakes and formed a more correct judgment of our author, had they been able to compare it with that of Constantinople. It forms the groundwork of the present edition and translation. No public library in France or Germany, most of which I have personally visited or inquired at by correspondence, possesses a copy and the only one now known to exist is in the Oppenheim division of the Bodleian library at Oxford. 3. This is a reprint of the first edition, it repeats faithfully all the mistakes of that 'Princeps' and has been alter'd in those passages, where in speaking of christians the former reads 'the misled' into the 'Nazarenes' probably because it was revised by christian censors.

Introduction to Use of Logarithms By Eugene L. Richards Introduction Art. 1. Defs.--The logarithm of any proposed number is the exponent of the power to which some fixed number must be raised in order to equal the proposed number. A system of logarithms is, therefore, a system of powers of some fixed number. The fixed number is the base of the system. The system of logarithms which is used in this book is Brigg's "System," or the common system of logarithms, and has 10 for its base. Thus: 102=100, 2 is the logarithm of 100 to the base 10. Or, 2=log.100, "to the base 10" being understood. 2. The logarithm of 1 is 0. For--1=10/10=101-1=100. 3. The logarithm of 10, or the logarithm of the base is 1. For--101=10. Applying fractional exponents to the first member of this equation, and extracting the square root of the second member, we have... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.

Instructions For Patchwork. A New Book Of Patterns And Instructions For Making Fancy Patchwork By JF Ingalls Excerpt It is very popular to make Tidies, Mats, Sofa Pillows, Afghans, Bed Spreads, etc., of small pieces of Silk and Satin. Take a piece of some firm goods the size you want the article. Upon this baste the silk and satin pieces in all sorts of irregular shapes, turning in the raw edges. Then work the edges of each piece with different designs of the Point Russe stitches. In working these stitches, use embroidery silk. That called "waste" embroidery silk, that comes (mixed colors) in short lengths, is the best and cheapest to use. The Silk and Satin pieces are much prettier with snow flake stitches, sprays of flowers and outline designs of children's heads, bugs, etc., worked on them. Work the designs before joining to the other pieces. We think the illustrations, in this book, of Crazy Patchwork, Point Russe and Snow Flake stitches will give you a better idea of the work than any explanations we can write. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.

The History of New England from 1630 to 1649 By John Winthrop Volume II Preface Early in the spring of 1816 was discovered, in the tower of the Old South church in Boston, the third volume of the History of New England, in the original of the Massachusetts Bay. When the precious book was presented to the Massachusetts Historical Society, at their next meeting, 25 April, the difficulty of transcribing it for the press seemed to appall several of the most competent members, whose engagement in more important duties afforded also a sufficient excuse for leaving such labour to be undertaken by any one, at any time, who could devote to it many weeks of leisure. The task appeared inviting to me. On the same evening the MS was taken, and the study of its chirography was begun, the next day, by the aid of one of the former MSS collated with the printed volume, usually called Winthrop's Journal. Of all the three MSS and of the published Journal, a sufficient account may be seen in 2 Hist. Coll. IV. 200. Before the collation of the former MS with the volume printed in 1790 had proceeded through many pages, the discovery of numerous important errours seemed to make a new edition of the earlier part of the History very desirable; and when a transcript of the newfound volume was completed, my resolution was fixed, that it should not be printed without a perfect revision in the Journal. Notes, explanatory, in some instances, of the text, illustrating, in some degree, the biography of many persons named in it, and referring to better accounts of others than I could furnish, were though necessary. Several hundred notes were prepared, and a careful collation of the whole printed volume, for the second time, with the original volumes of MS was finished on 2 June, 1819. Being then required to visit a foreign country, all my preparations were suspended until I returned. care, however, was taken to leave the corrected copy of the printed volume, with my copy of the third part, to be kept safely. Again called abroad in 1822, I so carefully disposed o my copy of the third volume, as to leave it in a forgotten place, which afforded me the gratification of making a new one, begun 8 December, 1823, and finished 30 March, 1824. This circumstance admonished me of the propriety of adopting early measures for guarding against farther accidents of that kind. Application was made, at the next session of the General court of this commonwealth, by the Historical society, for encouragement of the publication. In consequence of the liberal aid of the Legislature, the volume comes thus early before the publick.br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.

A History of the Theatre in America from its Beginnings to the Present Time By Arthur Hornblow Volume II Contents I--The First American TheatreII--The First Play Acted in New YorkIII--The Coming of the HallamsIV--Lewis Hallam in New York and PhiladelphiaV--David Douglass, Theatre BuilderVI--Opening of the Famous John Street TheatreVII--The Theatre During the RevolutionVIII--First Successful American PlayIX--The Chestnut Street Theatre, PhiladelphiaX--Boston's First TheatreXI--The First Park TheatreXII--Cooke and the Elder WallackXIII--The Golden Era of the American StageXIV--The Drama in the West Preface For nearly two hundred years the theatre in America has been without a historian. Of books on plays and playacting there has been no end. We have also several histories of the stage, but practically all of them are limited to the chronicling of theatrical happenings in certain localities, such as Blake's "History of the Providence Stage," Clapp's "Record of the Boston Stage," Ireland's "Records of the New York Stage," etc. Until now no attempt has been made to produce a work embracing the entire field of American theatrical activity, from the earliest beginnings in Colonial days down to the present time. Thirty years ago George O. Seilhamer began the publication of his "History of the American Theatre," perhaps the best, because the most complete, chronicle of the American stage up to the time of the Revolution that we have. Unfortunately, Mr. Seilhamer died when his history reached the year 1797, so that his splendidly conceived work remained unfinished. The three large volumes that did appear constitute, however, a monument of patient research, and I wish to acknowledge indebtedness to their interesting pages for much valuable information and data regarding the earlier period of our stage. Of William Dunlap's better-known work "A History of the American Theatre"--now a classic of our literature--almost everything can be said in praise except that it is not history. The book, which might properly be classed as an autobiography, seeing that the author writes mostly of his own experiences in theatrical authorship and management, is a series of charming pen pictures of old-time players and theatres by one who was contemporaneous with them. The work has little value as history. It goes back only a few years earlier than Dunlap's own life, it completely ignores important events that had already made theatrical history before he was born, and the book ends with his own retirement from management. Wholly delightful as a piece of literature, full of piquant observation and amusing anecdote, Dunlap's book, bristling as it is with... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.

Selected Poems By Robert Browning Contents My StarIncident of the French CampHome Thoughts from AbroadRabbi Ben EzraMemorabiliaAbt VoglerThe Lost LeaderThe Boy and the AngelAndrea del Sarto"Good News from Ghent"By the FiresideMy Last Duchess Introduction Robert Browning was born at Camberwell, a suburb of London, May 7, 1812. From his earliest years he was fond of writing verses, and when twelve years of age had produced poems enough to form a volume. His first published poem, "Pauline," appeared in 18333, but his real introduction to the public was through "Paracelsus," a drama, published in 1835. In 1837 the tragedy of "Strafford" was unsuccessfully presented at Drury Lane Theater. In 1840 the epic "Sordello" was published, one of his most characteristic and most difficult works. In 1841-1846 appeared the series of "Bells and Pomegranates," in eight shilling parts, containing much of his finest poetry, including the tragedy "A Blot in the 'Scutcheon" and the graceful dramatic poem "Pippa Passes." In 1846 he was married to the distinguished poetess, Elizabeth Barrett, and soon after established his home in Italy. "Christmas Eve and Easter Day" appeared in 1850, followed by two volumes of short poems, "Men and Women," 1855, and "Dramatis Personae," 1864. His greatest work, "The Ring and teh Book," appeared in 1868-9, closely followed by many other important poems, chief of which are "Fifine at the Fair," 1872; "Red Cotton Night-cap country," 1873; "Aristophanes' Apology" and "The Inn Album," 1875. Most important of his latest works are "Dramatic Idyls," 1879-80; "Jocoseria," 1883; "Ferishtah's Fancies," 1885; and "Parleyings with Certain People of Importance in their Day," 1887. The first and perhaps the final impression we receive from the works of Robert Browning is that of a great nature, an immense personality. The poet in him is made up of many men. He is dramatist, humorist, lyrist, painter, musician, philosopher, and scholar, each in full measure, and he includes and dominates them all. In richness of nature, in scope and penetration of mind and vision, in all the potentialities of poetry, he is probably second among English poets to Shakespeare alone. In art, in the power of... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.

Voltaire's History of Charles XII King of Sweden By Voltaire INTRODUCTION THE "Life of Charles XII" that Mr. John Burns once bought for a penny in the New Cut an incident in itself historical if one looks at it in the right way--was, he writes to say, an English version of Voltaire's book. The "Histoire de Charles XII, Roi de Suede," was first published at Rouen in 1731, first freely translated into English by Alexander Henderson in 1734, and soon afterwards reduced into a chap-book, which made the King a proverbial hero in English fairs and market places. There have been other translations since Henderson's, and it is now retranslated by Miss Todhunter with a closer correspondence than his to Voltaire's original. The book may claim a particular right to an English hearing, apart from the main interest of its subject. It was in England that the life of Charles XII was written by Voltaire, when he was on a visit of exigency there after the Rohan escapade and his second Bastille imprisonment. The effect of this stay in England was that of a determining event in his career. "Voltairism" writes Mr. John Morley, "may be said to have begun from the flight of its founder from Paris to London. This, to borrow a name from the most memorable instance of outward change marking inward revolution, was the decisive 'hegira, ' from which the philosophy of destruction in a formal shape may be held seriously to date." We may supplement this passage from the criticism of a French critic of another school, who says, "England at this time was worked by a spirit of dog matic irreligion which based itself on a false erudition, a bold criticism and an insidious metaphysic. It was the time of Woolston, of Toland, of Tindal, of Chubb, of Collins, of Bolingbroke. Until then, an insouciant disciple and imitator of the epicureans of the Temple and the rous of the Regency, Voltaire had only ventured on impiety by sallies; dogmas and mysteries had so far only Inspired him with bon mots. In the school of the English philosophers he learnt to reason out his incredulity." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.

Ophthalmoscopy, Retinoscopy and Refraction By WA Fisher Contents I--OphthalmoscopyII--Diseases of the RetinaIII--Diseases of the ChoroidIv--Diseases of the Optic NerveV--Field of Vision: Indirect and Direct OphthalmoscopyVI--Systemic Examination of EyeVII--GlaucomaVIII--Optical Principles; Test Type; Lenses; Refraction; CycloplegicsIX--Applied Refraction; Astigmatism;PresbyopiaX--Heterophoria--Muscular InsufficiencyXI--RetinoscopyXII--Measurement of Lenses; Prescription writing; Transposition; Frame Fitting Introduction Ophthalmoscopy is generally considered as a difficult subject. It is one that is not taught either practically or successfully in medical colleges, with the result that scarcely two per cent of practitioners coming to the author for postgraduate teaching know how to use the ophthalmoscope. In the author's opinion, ophthalmoscopy and the fitting of glasses belong to the general practitioner, and acquirement of the necessary practical and theoretical knowledge is easy, interesting and within the reach of all. This book has been written with the intention of teaching medical practitioners and students the practical use of the ophthalmoscope and retinoscope, with easy application of methods of study, to the detection of detection of diseases of the interior of the eye, and for the fitting of glasses when they are indicated. By mastering the methods here described and equipping himself with the necessary instruments, there is no reason why the general practitioner should not prescribe so as to correct the common errors of refraction and become proficient in the use of the ophthalmoscope. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.

Notes on Buddhist Law Volume III Marriage By Judicial Commissioner, British Burma Preface Take a fourth share amongst them, others that the eldest son takes this fourth, while Mount Tet Too is clear that the mother keeps all until her death. One Native Judge of long experience had never had such a case before him: another had, but only once. A third venerable Judge, on being consulted as to the meaning of texts, compared himself to a man wakening in a dream of times gone-by. Several who insist that by strict law a man may divorce his wife, or a wife her husband without any cause whatever, have stated that they never themselves had occasion to pass any such decree. All the many Native Judges whom I have consulted, whether they held that opinion or not, are united in saying that where one party absolutely objects to a divorce and refuses to ratify or acquiesce in an abandonment, the only possible way of effecting a divorce is by suit and decree in a Civil court. But some have stated the rule at first as if the fiat of the divorcing party were sufficient, and then have limited their meaning and stated that such fiat of the party or award of elderly persons had no efficacy in itself. The difference of statement is something like what foreigners might make about the English law, in asserting from observation of the fact that many injured wives suffered desertion and adultery without complaint, that the English law empowered the husband to commit such wrongs, or from knowing the effect, not the cause of judicial separation, that he has a right to injure her provided he satisfies his wife with a separate establishment. These confusions result partly from the vagueness of the Menu Kyay and the universal ignorance of the Hindu codes, but chiefly from the prevalent practice of compromise. It is plain that some rules of interpretation are required in construing old books of Burmese law, especially as we have no reports of judicial decisions. The Dhammathats show very clearly that the writers were avowedly and strongly influenced by notions, however derived, of what was reasonable and equitable. I would therefore suggest that some of our own rules of interpretation may fairly be applied, such as "the established rule of construction that general words and phrases, however wide and comprehensive in their literal sense, must be construed as bearing only on the immediate object of the Act, and as not altering the general policy of the law, unless, of course... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.

Motive--DesignThe major portion of this system is based upon melodic and harmonic sequences in some of their forms. Repetition, and sequence (which is a species of altered repetition), enter so prominently into the structure of music that whoever understands the principles and applications of these elements possesses the key which will unlock almost every investiture of notes. In order to master a composition quickly it is essential that the performer shall be able to reproduce a considerable portion of the music by means of sequence, repetition or other methods for continuing and enlarging a motive. We will presuppose that a given page of music consists of a motive or group continued in sequence through various tonalities--such frequently being the case. Soon as the design is apprehended an expert performer ought to be able to play the page correctly without further reference to the notes. After repeating it slowly two or three times the actual notes would be learned, without having resorted to the usual tedious process of "memorizing" them. To increase the movement gradually and to include the proper style of performance would be matters of technic and taste. With these subjects the present system has little to do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.

Greenacre on the Piscataqua By Anna J. Ingersoll Excerpt TO the traveler speeding through New England on the Eastern Division of the Boston & Maine Railroad there is no hint of any special attraction at the plain little station of Eliot. A drive of three miles takes you past thrifty homes, with meadows reaching to the broad, swift Piscataqua, and through stretches of dense woods down to the river bank, where almost at the entrance to Long Reach Bay stands the Greenacre Inn. It is a quiet spot, with gently sloping banks, and off to the west lies a long meadow with its fringe of apple trees and birches reflected in the waters of the bay. There is a sense of space and distance, a limitless expanse of sky, a broad sweep of river and bay with the distant low-lying banks, and far beyond, ever changing in hue against the sunset sky, range the foothills of the White Mountains. With the going down of the sun a golden bridge spans the waters glowing and radiant at our feet. Once there was a desperate struggle here; men fought for their lives, while women and children hurried for shelter over the fields to the garrison house with its high stockade. There are yet signs to be seen of this old house, and in the fields about the plough has turned up many an arrowhead. As late as 1747 the men of this district carried firearms to church. Down in the hollow below the Inn where the apple trees and locusts bloom, there was a large shipyard in the fifties, where the keel of many a good ship was laid. The fleetest sailing vessel of her day. The Nightingale, built to carry Jenny Lind Goldsmith back to Sweden, floated out on the tide from these cool, green shores. She never fulfilled her purpose, and years after was captured by the government with a cargo of wretched human beings bound for the slave market. The Eliot of today is a quiet farming town of 1,500 inhabitants, lying for six miles along the banks of the beautiful Piscataqua, just over the Maine border line, four miles from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. There are three or four churches, a grocery store or two, and one hotel. Greenacre Inn, built ten years ago by a company of enterprising Eliot people. The Inn, a small house holding about one hundred people, was for a few years a resort for Bostonians. Here John Greenleaf Whittier came, drawing about him a circle of friends. In 1893, that wonderful year, when, through the World's Parliament of Religions, men were brought to a recognition of the fundamental points of contact in the religions of the world, Miss Sarah J. Farmer, only daughter of Moses G. Farmer, the inventor, conceived the idea of continuing at Eliot, Maine, her birthplace, the movement inaugurated at Chicago . She determined to form a centre at... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.

CAMPING AND WOODCRAFT, VOL. 1 By Horace Kephart Excerpt from Preface The present work is based upon my Book of Camping and Woodcraft, which appeared in 1906. All of the original material here retained has been revised, and so much new matter has been added that this is virtually a new work, filling two volumes instead of one. My first book was intended as a pocket manual for those who travel where there are no roads and who perforce must go light. I took little thought of the fast-growing multitude who go to more accessible places and camp out just for the pleasure and healthfulness of open-air life. It had seemed to me that outfitting a party for fixed camp within reach of wagons was so simple that nobody would want advice about it. But I have learned that such matters are not so easy to the multitude as I had assumed; and there are, to be sure, "wrinkles," plenty of them, in equipping and managing stationary camps that save trouble, annoyance, or expense. Consequently I am adding several chapters expressly for that class of campers, and I treat the matter of outfitting much more fully than before. It is not to be supposed that experienced travelers will agree with me all around in matters of equipment. Every old camper has his own notions about such things, and all of us are apt to be a bit dogmatic. As Richard Harding Davis says, "The same article that one declares is the most essential to his comfort, health, and happiness is the very first thing that another will throw into the trail. A man's outfit is a matter which seems to touch his private honor. I have heard veterans sitting around a camp-fire proclaim the superiority of their kits with a jealousy, loyalty, and enthusiasm they would not exhibit for the flesh of their flesh and the bone of their bone. On a campaign you may attack a man's courage, the flag he serves, the newspaper for which he works, his intelligence, or his camp manners, and he will ignore you; but if you criticise his patent water-bottle he will fall upon you with both fists."

OLD COTTAGES AND FARMHOUSES IN SURREY Photographed by W. Galsworthy Davie Preface I AM asked by Mr. Davie and by Mr. Batsford to preface my introduction with an expression of their thanks to the owners or occupiers of cottages or houses who have helped in the making of this book. Every photographer will appreciate the difficulties which have had to be contended with; a good photograph would often have been impossible without the kind offices of those living in the houses. In my own less arduous task the kindnesses I experienced never failed to impress the charm of the buildings more strongly on my mind. A preface gives me the opportunity of recording my respectful admiration for the patience and tenacity with which Mr. Davie - now no longer an active member of the architectural profession - has carried through his undertaking. The present collection of illustrations is one of a series, the previous volumes of which have treated of similar work in other counties. The series originated in Mr. Davie's beautiful photographs, and it is to these that the publication of this volume is due. The subject of "The old cottage and domestic architecture of South-west Surrey" is the title of a work by Mr. Ralph Nevill, a work well known among architects and those interested in domestic architecture. Mr. Nevill collected and preserved records, the value of which is generally recognized. His book was a mine of information to me before this volume was ever contemplated, and it is in no emulative spirit that I have undertaken a further contribution on the subject. The lapse of seventeen years since the last edition of Mr. Neville's book, and the scope of the subject itself, would be justification, were one needed, for the publication of the collotype plates from these photographs. Mr. Davie's experience in the other volumes of this series no doubt made my part lighter than it would otherwise have been. He found several of the buildings illustrated, and drew my attention to some of their details. Amongst others, my thanks are due to the Rev. Gerald S. Davies, of Godalming, and to Mr. Penfold, of Haslemere, for pointing out interesting examples. Mr. Penfold also kindly lent some of his photographic views, shown in the text, of cottages since disfigured by the hand of the restorer. Mr. George Jack and Mr. A. B. Hayward have supplied me with valuable matter regarding Great Tangley and the Guest House at Lingfield respectively. My brother, Mr. A. Romney Green, of Haslemere, has helped me throughout with criticism and counsel. My notes make no claim to originality of thought or research; the authority for statements of facts are the recognized text-books upon English domestic architecture, and are, as far as I am aware, duly acknowledged... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.

Gentleman John Perkins By WW Scott INTRODUCTORY These compilations do not assume the gfuise and dignity of history or biography, but are submitted as material that may be used by the exact historian after verification. Born in 1733 and dying in 1804, John Perkins has been succeeded, during the 115 years following his death, by six generations of descendants, the progeny of five sons and two daughters, whose families in each generation have been prolific beyond the average. The principal "habitat" of the members of this family who have remained in North Carolina is comprised within the boundaries of the counties of Burke, Caldwell, Buncombe, Iredell, Catawba, Wilkes and McDowell, although they are to be found in nearly every county in the State. From time to time many of them have moved to other States, and they have been traced to every State in the Union except the New England States, and some of them may be there. It is probable that they could be found in considerable numbers as citizens of foreign countries, although Brazil is the only foreign country to which any of them has been traced as citizens. Thus scattered there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of them living in the United States and in other countries, and yet the date and place of birth of John Perkins was known to few, if any of these descendants before 1907, when it was first published. In one branch of the family the story was handed down, inaccurate as traditional statements are apt to be, that he was born in England, the son of a wealthy family, on intimate terms with the Earl of Granville, and that he was sent, as a youth, to North Carolina under the tutelage of a guardian who helped him to establish himself upon a valuable grant of lands made to him by the Earl of Granville. Not until 1890 did this mist of ignorance begin to lift from the present writer, who in that year, chanced to run across Judge McCorkle's account (published in the Newton Enterprise in 1883) of the marriage of Col. Ephraim Perkins and Betsy Abernethy, and republished in the Lenoir Topic. It was delightful reading and was the inspiration for research for the collection of records, publications, family histories and traditions, kept up rom that day to this, that has resulted in the following compilations, which are submitted for what they ax-e worth. Judge McCorkle's contribution, aside from the interesting and charming story that it carries, is of historical alue and will add to the interest of these pages. It has therefore been incorporated in the account which follows, certain inaccuracies which it contains being pointed out...------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.

HISTORY OF FAIRFIELD COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA By William Ederington Contents Introduction Ordinaries and Probate Judges Clerks of Court Sherman's Army in the Rocky Mount Section David R.

Boyce The Feasters & Colemans: Installment #1 Installment #2 Installment #3 The Ederington Family Various Fairfield Families Some Prominent Fairfield Families The Woodward Family Index Excerpt from Introduction "Old people tell of what they have seen and done; children, of what they are doing; and fools, of what they intend to do." As I am now perhaps the only one now alive who knew some of the first settlers of Western Fairfield and a few of their immediate descendants, I may be pardoned for undertaking the ardous task of preserving for posterity the meagre knowledge I have retained of them from memory, besides what I can glean from "Mills Statistics of South Carolina," and "Woodward's Reminiscences." I am well aware of the fact that my homely phrasealogy will not bear the inspection of the hypercritic, but as I write for the masses, I shall be well compensated if I can please them. The time has past (sic) to compile a complete historical biography of Fairfield District, as important material has been lost by the death of the old settlers and no record kept of important facts. The reader will pardon the meagre account given of some men and families, as my knowledge of them being limited personally and historically. Where I have given full biographies, my correspondents furnished the material, or I knew them personally, or received my information from history. As I was born in the extreme Western portion of Fairfield and my correspondence limited in the middle and eastern portion of it, the reader will pardon the omission in this work, of any mention being made of persons fully entitled to a record in history. The author will take pleasure in yet giving them a place in an appendix to the little work. But for urgent solicitations from friends I should not have undertaken this book at my advanced stage of life, and hope the readers of it will pardon any errors or omissions. The friends to the work have been very kind in furnishing material for it. I will here state that during my ilness I was greatly indebted to a young friend, a descendant of two prominent families spoken of in this work, for the interest manifested in copying my reminiscences, and letters from correspondents, relative to my book. . . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.

Family Reminiscences By LeGrand M. Jones Preface My son Silas some years ago requested me to write a sketch of our family, before the facts known to me should pass away with me and be forgotten. I at first thought of confining myself almost exclusively to genealogy; but I have departed from this idea to some extent, as will be seen. I have said little, if anything, of the living, or of those facts known to my children, or as accessible to them as to me. I have, since my health gave way, frequently regretted that I did not, during the lives of my mother and my maternal grandmother, write out and preserve the more prominent facts of our family history, especially those relating to our Huguenot ancestry. I could forty years ago, no doubt, have carried the history of my wife's family back a generation or two further. I could probably have learned from Col. Woods when his great-grandfather Woods came from Ireland to North Carolina; and also, from my wife's maternal grandfather, when his ancestors came to this country. But forty years ago i did not feel any particular interest in collecting and preserving these facts for my children. My wife had the family Bible, in which the record of her father's family was kept. When she got the Bible, after her father's death, it had gone pretty much to pieces. There is an impression in the family that, some years before her death, she took out the leaves containing this record, and gave them to her brother Levi for safe-keeping. Levi, I understand, is of the same impression; but, if the record was placed in his hands, he has mislaid it. My sister gave our own family record, some years ago, to her brother Isaac, but he seems to have mislaid it. This will account for the omission of some dates as to births and deaths, that would otherwise be expected. Most of the time i have been unable to write, and when able to do so, could write only a little at a time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.

GRINDING AND GRINDING MACHINES Machinery's Reference Series Contents Types of Grinding Machines Principles of Grinding, by Oskar Kylin Economy in Grinding, by John J. Thacher The Disk Grinder Grinding Kinks and Examples of Grinding Cost of Grinding, by H. F. Noyes The Bursting of Emery Wheels Chapter 1 Excerpt History of the Universal Grinding Machine The universal grinding machine has had so great an influence on modern machine shop methods, and has done so much to raise the standard of workmanship and to increase the economy of production that a few words relating to the history of the development of this machine may be of interest. The origin of the modern universal grinding machine is found in the crude grinding lathes of the early sixties. Mr. Joseph R. Brown, senior member of the firm now known as the Brown & Sharpe Mfg. Co., was intimately connected with the development of these grinding lathes into the universal grinding machine. The grinding lathe, as first built at the Brown & Sharpe Mfg. Co.'s works, was intended for the accurate and economical manufacture of the company's own products, and there was no idea of putting the machines on the market. In this respect the origin and development of the grinding machine was very much like the origin and development of the universal milling machine. The first work for which the grinding machines were designed was for grinding needle bars, foot bars and shafts of the Wilcox & Gibbs sewing machines. The first machine was built in 1864 and 1865, and one of these early machines is still in use in the Brown & Sharpe works. Cylindrical grinding, however, was done at the Brown & Sharpe works as early as 1862, this being indicated by the existence of drawings of a back-rest, dated September 22, 1862, which contains the essential features of a solid grinding machine back-rest of to-day. These early machines were not grinding machines in the present meaning of the word, but were grinding lathes using, to a considerable extent, the parts of a 14-inch Putnam lathe. A great number of these were sold both in this country and abroad. Mr. Brown, however, realized the need of building a new machine designed especially for grinding, and in 1868 the design for such a machine was made. This design shows a machine containing most of the essential elements of the universal grinding machine of to-day. None of these machines were built at this time, however, on account of the pressure of other matters, and it was first in 1874 that working drawings were made for a complete machine containing practically all the features of the modern universal grinding machine. The first of these machines was exhibited at the Centennial Exposition in... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making.

A Trolley Honeymoon From Delaware to Maine By Clinton W. Lucas Contents I--A Spectacular StartII--From Quakerdom by Pastoral ScenesIII--Misadventures in JerseyIV--A Swarm of ExcursionistsV--On the Connecticut ShoreVI--A Mysterious PursuitVII--From Hartford over the Massachusetts HillsVIII--A Fortunate DecisionIX--In which We are Gorged with HistoryX--Coming through the Ryes Introduction The chief object of this volume is to record the adventures and misadventures of a ten-days' trolley trip from Delaware to Maine--a distance of about five hundred miles, as the electrics run. As the dominant idea was a pleasant outing, the two travelers did not follow the direct route, preferring in every case the allurements of an attractive countryside to the mere saving of time and distance. For there are more things in trolleying than are dreamt of in the philosophy of time-tables and connecting schedules.Though the experiences here recorded are in the main autobiographical, yet the sequence of events has sometimes been changed, and an element of fiction added to give unity to the narrative. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices.
