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.
William Morris had a lifelong fascination with illuminated books.
He collected thirteenth- and fourteenth-century manuscripts and
became one of the foremost experts on the art of bookmaking and
calligraphy. Aiming to resurrect a tradition that had fallen into
abeyance with the invention of printing, he made eighteen
illuminated books, using a variety of texts, during the course of
his life. One of these, now held in the Bodleian Library, is a
handmade edition of the Odes of Horace. The pages of this book,
reproduced here in high-quality facsimile, are among the most
intricate and ambitious that Morris ever created. Using a
Renaissance italic style of calligraphy, he illuminated letters
with delicate shades of gold and silver, and adorned them with
floral decoration and miniature faces and figures. The openings to
each of the four books of the Odes are stunning display pages on
which Morris collaborated with the artists Edward Burne-Jones and
Charles Fairfax Murray. The Roman poet Horace (65-8 BCE) wrote four
books of lyric poetry in Latin which have subsequently been
translated many times and have had an ongoing influence on Western
literature. He combined descriptions of the everyday with the
poetry of politics, patriotism, love and friendship, producing
lines of beauty and wisdom which were very popular in Morris's day
and continue to appeal in the twenty-first century. This facsimile
edition is presented in a blind embossed slipcase featuring a
detail from one of Burne-Jones' paintings in the book with a
companion volume containing an introduction to William Morris's
manuscript and an English translation of the Odes.

"""The Complete Master Key System """builds on the classic work of
Charles Haanel to teach contemporary audiences how to tap into
their personal potential and manifest harmony, abundance, and
fulfillment.
Published in 1912, The Master Key System went on to influence
Ernest Holmes, Napoleon Hill, and many others who sought to use
mental power as a means of attaining success. In "The Complete
Master Key System," William Gladstone, Richard Greninger, and John
Selby hark back to Charles Haanel's original text, and develop
exercises that heighten readers' ability to implement Haanel's core
principles. Their Daily Manifestation Sessions incorporate the most
effective focusing methods used today and integrate ancient
meditative techniques with new insights in cognitive
psychology.
The Complete Master Key System is packaged with Haanel's original
Master Key System in the appendix and includes a foreword by Mark
Victor Hansen and an afterword by Jack Canfield.
Have you ever asked yourself why you are on planet Earth? And what
the ultimate purpose for your life might be? Well, Jack Canfield
asked himself this very question and came up with a surprising
answer-part of which included a vision revealing that he is part of
a "Golden Motorcycle Gang"-a gang whose intent is to have fun, but
also to make significant contributions to the well-being of
humanity. During a joyful dinner many years ago in Santa Barbara,
California, Jack told his friend William Gladstone about the Gang.
Upon hearing this account, William had an epiphany that Jack's
story held a powerful underlying truth not only explaining Jack's
true purpose, but William's as well. For more than ten years,
William encouraged Jack to write a book based on the story of the
Gang, so they have now collaborated on this work to show you its
relevance to this critical moment in the history of human
civilization . . . and also to you, personally. As you read, you
will be introduced to some of the extraordinary members of the
Golden Motorcycle Gang, including visionary thinkers such as
Barbara Marx Hubbard, the originator of the concept of Conscious
Evolution. The mystery and adventure inherent in this book reveals
that there is now the opportunity for all of us on planet Earth to
make a quantum leap in real time toward choosing the actual course
of our evolution. Along the way, we are meant to experience the joy
that comes from recognizing who we really are. Perhaps, as you
embark on Jack's journey along with him . . . you will find that
you are also a member of the Golden Motorcycle Gang! So get ready
for the adventure of your life!
