Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1844 edition. Excerpt: ... Inconstancy is a wise impulse of Nature which induces men to exercise alternately all their physical and intellectual faculties, and which could not have been given them to be allowed to rust in inactivity. It is because they do not obey this inclination, because the rich neglect to make a regular use of their physical force, and because the poor do not use it intelligently, that they are both so often diseased in body and mind. Inconstancy is an evil in present society, where each man having only one useful faculty, becomes idle when he leaves it; but it would be a good, if society offered to each one useful occupations, at the same time varied and adapted to all their faculties. Idleness is the very natural desire of avoiding pain and ennui, but not action; the most indolent being is often the most ardent in pleasure. It would be an anomaly when labor shall be made attractive. The cabalist, the love of intrigue, which frequently engenders discord, hatred, and war, is likewise the source of that noble emulation which leads men to distinguish themselves in learning, talent, and usefulness. Avarice, disengaged from all fear of privation for itself or for others, is only an effect of Unityism. He who is habitually economical and saving, will render great service in the societies of the future. Then, such a character, consecrated to the service of all, will no longer prosecute an end exclusively selfish, and will be no longer contemptible; he will save from destruction and waste many things that others disdain, and from apparently small and worthless savings, will effect magnificent economies for the social Whole. In passing in review, in this way, all the excesses and vices that now degrade the human species, we shall convince ourselves...

Book Description
At the end of his weekly news-in-review program, Moore on Sunday beloved WCCO-TV newsanchor Dave Moore often signed off by reciting a poem. These poems, composed by Moore's son Peter and collected here for the first time, offer a fresh and funny take on the common and not-so-common stuff of our everyday lives. Reminiscent of Ogden Nash and Tom Lehrer, with a dash of Dr. Seuss, Peter Moore's verse captures the essence of his father's wit, common sense, honesty, and warmth.

Book Description
In its first half century the United States was visited by scores of curious European travellers who came to investigate the strange new world that was being created in the Western Hemisphere. In their accounts of the experience they praised, or condemned, the institutions and national characteristics spread out before them, seized avidly upon all differences from the European norm, and worried each peculiarity beyond recognition and beyond any just limit of its importance. Americans themselves, with the keen sensitiveness of the young and the boasting enthusiasm natural to vigorous creators of new ideas and institutions, examined the work of their hands and, believing it good, reassured themselves and answered their calumniators in a flood of aggressive replies. Every American interested in a reform movement, a new cult, or a Utopian scheme burst into print, adding another to the rapidly growing list of polemic books and pamphlets. From this variety of sources, it is possible to recapture something of the inward spirit that gave rise to the more familiar and more tangible events of America’s youth.
