Notwithstanding the fact that Egyptology is now recognised as a science, an exact and communicable knowledge of whose existence and scope it behoves all modern culture to take cognisance, this work of M. Maspero still remains the Handbook of Egyptian Archaeology . But Egyptology is as yet in its infancy; whatever their age, Egyptologists will long die young. Every year, almost every month, fresh material for the study is found, fresh light is thrown upon it by the progress of excavation, exploration, and research.

Free ebook download 12 The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci volum 1
2008-01-30 11:47:00 The Notebooks of Leonardo Da VinciVolume 1Translated by Jean Paul Richter1888PREFACE.A singular fatality has ruled the destiny of nearly all the mostfamous of Leonardo da Vinci 's works. Two of the three most importantwere never completed, obstacles having arisen during his life-time,which obliged him to leave them unfinished; namely the SforzaMonument and the Wall-painting of the Battle of Anghiari, while thethird--the picture of the Last Supper at Milan--has sufferedirremediable injury from decay and the repeated restorations towhich it was recklessly subjected during the XVIIth and XVIIIthcenturies. Nevertheless, no other picture of the Renaissance hasbecome so wellknown and popular through copies of every description.Vasari says, and rightly, in his Life of Leonardo, "that he labouredmuch more by his word than in fact or by deed", and the biographerevidently had in his mind the numerous works in Manuscript whichhave been preserved to this day. To us, now, it seems almostinexplic... More About: Download , Free , Ebook

2008-01-30 06:55:00 ELSA ON HER KNEES BEFORE LOHENGRINTHEN ARTHUR DREW OUT THE SWORD AND WAS PROCLAIMED KING MYTHS AND LEGENDSOF ALL NATIONSFAMOUS STORIESFROM THE GREEK, GERMAN, ENGLISH, SPANISHSCANDINAVIAN, DANISH, FRENCHRUSSIAN, BOHEMIAN, ITALIANAND OTHER SOURCESPREFACEThe myths and legends here gathered together have appealed and will continue to appeal to every age. Nowhere in the realm of fiction are there stories to compare with those which took form centuries ago when the race was in its childhood—stories so intimately connected with the life and history and religion of the great peoples of antiquity that they have become an integral part of our own civilization, a heritage of wealth to every child that is born into the world.The historic basis of the tales is slight; yet who can think of the Greeks without remembering the story of Troy, or of Rome without a backward glance at Æneas, fabled founder of the race and hero of Virgil's world-famous Latin epic?

D.BYCLARA ERSKINE CLEMENT1904PREFATORY NOTEAs a means of collecting material for this book I have sent to many artists in Great Britain and in various countries of Europe, as well as in the United States, a circular, asking where their studies were made, what honors they have received, the titles of their principal works, etc.I take this opportunity to thank those who have cordially replied to my questions, many of whom have given me fuller information than I should have presumed to ask; thus assuring correctness in my statements, which newspaper and magazine notices of artists and their works sometimes fail to do.I wish especially to acknowledge the courtesy of those who have given me photographs of their pictures and sculpture, to be used as illustrations.CL...

Paul HudsonWashington, D.C., 1957PrefaceJamestown, a name of first rank among historic names, saw the birth of English America. Here on an island in the James River in the heart of tidewater Virginia the English carved a settlement out of the wilderness. It grew from a rude palisaded fort into a busy community and then into a small town that enjoyed many of the comforts of daily living. For 13 years (until 1620) Virginia was the only English colony on the American mainland. Jamestown served this colony as its place of origin and as its capital for 92 years—from 1607 to 1699.After its first century of prominence a... More About: Download , Free

Free ebook download 4 MYTHS AND LEGENDS OF ANCIENT GREECE AND ROME
2008-01-18 12:13:00 Myths and LegendsOFANCIENT GREECE AND ROME.BYE. M. BERENS.ILLUSTRATED FROM ANTIQUE SCULPTURES.PREFACE.The want of an interesting work on Greek and Roman mythology, suitable for the requirements of both boys and girls, has long been recognized by the principals of our advanced schools. The study of the classics themselves, even where the attainments of the pupil have rendered this feasible, has not been found altogether successful in giving to the student a clear and succinct idea of the religious beliefs of the ancients, and it has been suggested that a work which would so deal with the subject as to render it at once interesting and instructive would be hailed as a valuable introduction to the study of classic authors, and would be found to assist materially the labours of both master and pupil.In endeavouring to supply this want I have sought to place before the reader a lifelike picture of the deities of classical times as they were conceived and worshipped by the ancients themse...
