The Book of Baruch is a Bible pseudepigrapha; a deuterocanonical
work attributed to Baruch ben Neriah, the scribe of the prophet
Jeremiah. The Assumption of Moses is a Jewish apocryphal work
concerning hidden prophecies that Moses revealed to Joshua prior to
the latter inheriting his leadership of the ancient Jews. Together
these works constitute typical examples of popular Biblical texts
which are extra-canonical; most Christian and Jewish groups do not
regard their contents as true. Their origins are definitively
proven to be several centuries after the time they purport to be
from. However, theological scholars have expressed some interest,
particularly given the time and context of the writing; being as
these pseudepigrapha are old texts, they themselves carry value.
This edition contains a lengthy, explanatory introduction by W. O.
E. Oesterley, and the well-regarded translations of Bible scholars
R. H. Charles (for Baruch) and William John Ferrar (for Moses).

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.Rich in titles on
English life and social history, this collection spans the world as
it was known to eighteenth-century historians and explorers. Titles
include a wealth of travel accounts and diaries, histories of
nations from throughout the world, and maps and charts of a world
that was still being discovered. Students of the War of American
Independence will find fascinating accounts from the British side
of conflict. ++++The below data was compiled from various

Some people bring home a bundle of sketches from their summer
holiday-water-colour memories of cliff, of sea, ruined castle, and
ancient abbey. I brought back from the Channel Islands these pages
here printed, as a kind of bundle of sketches in black and white,
put together day by day as a holiday-task, and forming a string, as
it were, on which the memories of ramble after ramble were
threaded, rambles from end to end of Guernsey, and rambles, too,
among the treasures of the Guille-Alles Library. I enjoyed my
holiday all the better, as I peopled the cliffs and glens with the
shadows of eight hundred years ago, and I hope that others may find
some reality and some pleasure in the result as it is given here.
If any inquire into the real historical foundations for the story,
I refer them to the few notes at the end of the book, which will
reveal without much doubt where fiction begins and fact ends. I
hope I may be allowed a little license in the treatment of facts.
There is-is there not?-a logic of fiction, as well as a logic of
facts. At least there seemed to be as I wrote the story, and I hope
no one who reads it will be inclined to quarrel with any part of it
because its only basis is-imagination.
