Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
A collection of history research papers written by the author
during his graduate coursework. Most of the articles relate to the
American Civil War. The final paper included was honored by an
academic conference as the top paper presented; it deals with the
death of U.S. Army General Edward R.S. Canby. All in all, this
collection is a valuable resource for students of American history.

Boston Monday Lectures: Biology, a book of popular essays by the
American orator Joseph Cook first published in 1879, was derived
from a successful lecture series at Boston's Tremont Temple in 1878
that expertly synthesised the scientific scholarship of the day for
public consumption and attempted to show that science was in
harmony with religion and the Bible. Writing with clarity and
conveying excitement to the lay audiences who flocked to hear him,
Cook's lectures became extremely popular around the world. Biology
focuses on evolution, immortality and materialism. In 13 lectures,
Cook discusses topics including T. H. Huxley and John Tyndall's
ideas on evolution, Rudolf Hermann Lotze's thoughts on theism, and
microscopy. Cook's lectures on immortality all begin with 'Does
Death End All?' before probing further into a philosophical aspect
of immortality. Cook interjects short essays, which he calls
'preludes', on subjects as diverse as political patronage and
Daniel Webster's death.
