This is a new release of the original 1937 edition.
This inquiry attempts to probe the essence of politics in-itself,
something that has been singularly discerned by Plato in Republic,
grounded in his theory of universal forms and gradually but fully
developed through a consideration of the elements of the City in
Speech. Those elements, and the ideal city itself as envisioned in
Republic, are immanent within the Second Best City of the Laws,
even though presented in a modified way. Plato's Statesman will
also be discussed as a means to further illustrate Plato's
commitment to the principles conveyed in Republic. This project
rests on the premise that Plato's intelligible city is genuinely
intended to convey Plato's full understanding of the real essence
of the polis, not simply the arena of political behavior and
governance as we have come to know it, but the essence of what
politics universally means and what a political community should
objectively seek.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Medical theory and
practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the
extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases,
their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology,
agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even
cookbooks, are all contained here.++++The below data was compiled

A fascinating account of the early life of one of Australia's most
colorful and controversial sons. John Hammond Moore trace film star
Errol Flynn's turbulent career from his birth in sedate Hobart
through his eccentric schooldays and his youth in Sydney and
cruising the Pacific to his years as a pioneer tobacco planter in
Papua and the discovery that led to Hollywood and stardom. The
author comments: 'While his golden age in Hollywood produced
wondrous swashbuckling, Errol Flynn was not really acting at all.
He was merely transferring a natural style developed in Sydney,
Port Moresby, Rabaul, and London to a much larger audience.
Anecdotes, quotations from Flynn's own diaries and from people who
knew him in Australia and Papua New Guinea crowd one upon the other
to underscore this truth, and to embellish this rollicking tale of
a man who in the author's words: 'lived for half a century the sort
of life adolescents dream of but men dare not attempt.'
