Today there is a tranquil section of Williston, Vermont known as North Williston. But it wasn't always that way; at one time it was a thriving village in its own right. North Williston gained importance coinciding with the predominance of the railroad, from the late 1800s and early 1900s. The trains brought passengers, freight, and mail to Williston. Numerous industries sprang up close to the tracks. With the decline of the importance of the railroad, businesses in North Williston closed. North Williston became the industrial and commercial section of Williston and attracted such businessmen as Smith Wright and John Whitcomb, who used the area as a base to acquire significant wealth and influence. Other North Williston industries included a rake factory, a cheese factory, the Fay and Whitcomb lumber and grain business, a blacksmith shop, and a creamery.

Originally published in 1967, Richard H. Allen's volume with a foreword by Robert O. Weiss was the first comprehensive bibliography of Arthur Schnitzler's writings, including his literary works (with translation and criticism), philosophical reflections, essays, correspondence, and medical writings, together with general criticism and dissertations on the author. Indices of titles, personal names, and periodicals make the material readily accessible.

Star names, the zodiac, constellations; folklore and literature associated with heavens. The basic book of its field. Fascinating reading solidly based on years of thorough research into astronomical writings and observations of the ancient Chinese, Arabic, Euphrates, Hellenic and Roman civilizaitons.

In volume two of At the Cross, Richard Allen focuses on the sanctification that follows a believer's initial commitment to Christ. The cross of Christ represents the spiritual, physical, and metaphoric reasons for our existence. At the Cross is a line-by-line examination of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John as these apostles describe events from the Garden of Gethsemane to the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. This book is written for both new and seasoned believers so they may find direction for, and discover the ramifications of, that commitment. At the Cross is also written for nonbelievers so they can see why believers, from the martyrdom of Christ to the most recent Chinese Christian jailed and tortured for his faith, would forfeit their lives and liberty rather than deny their Savior.

The cross of Christ represents the spiritual, physical, and metaphoric reasons for our existence. Old Testament scripture foreshadows Christ and his sacrifice at the cross. New Testament scripture reiterates that Old Testament vision as we are led to the singularly most significant event in the history of mankind. At the Cross is a line-by-line examination of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John as these apostles describe events from the Garden of Gethsemane to the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. This book is written for both new and seasoned believers so they may find direction for their commitment and the ramifications of that commitment. At the Cross is written for non-believers so they can see why believers from the martyrdom of Christ to the most recent Chinese Christian jailed and tortured for his faith would forfeit their lives and liberty rather than deny their Savior.
