| THE NEW FREEDOM By WOODROW WILSON THE NEW FREEDOM..."not a book of campaign speeches. It is a discussion of a number of very vital subjects in the free form of extemporaneously spoken words. I have left the sentences in the form in which they were stenographically reported. I have not tried to alter the easy-going and often colloquial phraseology in which they were uttered from the platform, in the hope that they would seem the more fresh and spontaneous because of their very lack of pruning and recasting. They have been suffered to run their unpremeditated course even at the cost of such repetition and redundancy as the extemporaneous speaker apparently inevitably falls into. "The book is not a discussion of measures or of programs. It is an attempt to express the new spirit of our politics and to set forth, in large terms which may stick in the imagination, what it is that must be done if we are to restore our politics to their full spiritual vigor again, and our national life, whether in trade, in industry, or in what concerns us only as families and individuals, to its purity, its self-respect, and its pristine strength and freedom. The New Freedom is only the old revived and clothed in the unconquerable strength of modern America.” ~ WOODROW WILSON ~ BOOK INFORMATION: Paperback: 183 pages Paperback Binding with Glossy Color Cover Book Size: 7.5" x 9.25" Publisher: R A SITES BOOKS Printer and Distributor: www.cafepress.com/roysites |
| THE MIRACLES OF OUR LORD By GEORGE MacDONALD One of the most prolific and celebrated Scottish fantasy writers and novelists of the Victorian era -- George MacDonald (1824 - 1905) was an internationally renowned speaker and author of faerie stories for adults and children. He counted Mark Twain, Lewis Caroll, Ralph Waldo Emerson and John Greenleaf Whittier among his friends and admirers. In THE MIRACLES OF OUR LORD, a compelling companion to THE HOPE OF THE GOSPELS, George MacDonald writes in the most moving, convincing way about the necessity of the New Testament miracles. For MacDonald, "Fact is not the sole legitimate object of human inquiry. If it were, farewell to all that elevates and glorifies human nature--farewell to God, to religion, to hope! It is that which lies at the root of fact, yea, at the root of law, after which the human soul hungers and longs." In MacDonald's world, God's Love is no empty platitude. God becomes Flesh and dwells among us, tender and severe. He is Love nailed to the Cross. As MacDonald said, "Man finds it hard to get what he wants, because he does not want the best; God finds it hard to give, because He would give the best, and man will not take it." After reading this book, be prepared to believe in miracles all over again.... BOOK INFORMATION: Paperback: 159 pages.

| ROMAN CIVIL LAW TRANSLATED BY S. P. SCOTT THE LAWS OF THE TWELVE TABLES formed the centerpiece of the constitution of the Roman Republic and the core of the mos maiorum. The Twelve Tables were literally drawn up on twelve ivory or brass tablets which were posted in the Forum Romanum so that all Romans could read and know them. They did not survive antiquity. What we have of them today are brief excerpts and quotations in other authors. GAIUS (floruit AD 130-180) was a celebrated Roman jurist during the reigns of the emperors Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, Marcus Aurelius and Commodus. His INSTITUTES are a complete exposition of the elements of ancient Roman law and for this reason are most valuable to the historian of early institutions. DOMITIUS ULPIANUS (died 228), a Roman jurist of Tyrian ancestry wrote in the period between AD 211 and 222. FRAGMENTS of his works survive. As an author he is characterized by doctrinal exposition of a high order, judiciousness of criticism, and lucidity of arrangement, style and language. JULIUS PAULUS (second century AD), also known as Paulus or Paul, was an influential Roman jurist whose OPINIONS feature prominently in Justinian's DIGEST.
