Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich history of Roman satiric poetry, exploring its origins in various Italian festivities where performers engaged in witty banter and exchanged verses. The author traces the evolution of satire through the influence of Greek theatre and the writings of Ennius, Naevius, and Lucilius. Thematic depth is examined, with particular attention to the way Lucilius used satire as a tool for social and literary criticism. The book also contrasts Roman satire with its Greek counterpart, highlighting key differences in form and purpose. Ultimately, it establishes Roman satire as a distinct and valuable literary genre, shaped by the unique characteristics and perspectives of Roman culture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Hardcover. 4th printing. xv, 799 p.; front. (port.); 23 cm. [First printed in 1895] On his tour of the United States in 1880 he attended the Mormon Tabernacle on July 31. `After singing,which was confined to the choir, an old man with a reddish face anda very long grey beard came forward to a vacant desk near the topmost bench,while a murmur ran among those near me,"Orson Pratt"--the only surviving companion of Joseph Smith, who is supposed to be par excell ence the theologian of the body. Pratt gave out as his text Revelation XX., beginning with "I saw a great white throne," and going as far as "making all things new,"in the next chapter.He spoke for nearly an hour and a half. Such an effusion no mortal that had not heard it could conceive. It was mostly cosmogony or prophecy, with a large infusion of Bible history up and down, and the prospects of the Earth and Mormons according to later revela tions. He roundly denied Creation, holding the elements of the universe to be as eternal as God, who only arranged them. He took the Flood in the oldest sense, and then, saying very little about Redemption, went on to the Second Advent, not diverging much from ordinary pre-millennial views, but with a great confusion of stages, destroying the enemies of Zion several times over, and preventing any possibility of chronology. He appealed, in proof, to revelations made to Joseph Smith in his own hearing, and to other authorities of the same kind. The whole of this was incredibly low, and mixed with ludicrously misinterpreted Scripture, what Malachi says of the Lord coming to His Temple.in the strain of an appeal to take land-shares in some Emigration New Jerusalem Office.' (p. 693 f., abridged) Not in Flake. VG orig. maroon cloth, spine stamping bright. Pages unmarked.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the concluding chapter of Scotland's Reformation. It starts in 1546 with the murder of Cardinal Beaton, whose death heralded the rise of religious and social reforms in Scotland. The author, a former Moderator of the Church of Scotland, describes the waning influence of the Catholic Church as the nation embraced Protestantism. Political maneuvers by the Scottish Regent, Mary of Guise, attempted to thwart these changes with the support of French troops, stirring up divisions and growing resentment among Scottish nobles. With vivid historical detail, the book follows the ongoing struggle between the forces of religious reform and the established Church. It describes the rise of prominent reformers like John Knox, whose fiery sermons and writings played a significant role in shaping Scotland's religious identity. The book provides valuable insights into the complex interplay between religion, politics, and social movements that defined this transformative era in Scottish history, leading to the eventual triumph of the Protestant Reformation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
