Book Description
Excerpt from In Memoriam Sempiternam The nine acres of a bleak and rugged hillside which comprised the Soldiers' Section, were gradually transformed; Roadways, turf, and granite posts to mark the lines of graves Were added, and the Soldiers' Section of Hollywood has come to be by far the best kept and most beautiful part of a cemetery which numbers among its lot-owners the wealthiest citizens of Richmond. This Association, not content with simply caring for these graves, has kept the memory of its heroes fresh In every heart by its Annual Memorial Services. It has, furthermore, established Memorial Sunday, when all the Veteran and Memorial organizations of the city unite in the solemn religious service, which recalls thatfor our beloved Dead and their holy cause there is and ever Shall be a Resur rection and a Life. There is no resting in any really great undertaking, and so within the past few years another branch of work has been begun, which, while strictly in the line of the past, bids fair to outstrip all former achievements in its far - reaching and permanent results.

Book Description
Excerpt from In Memoriam, Stephen Van Rensselaer: Born 1789, Died 1868 Through a kind providence, he was permitted to go to heaven, from the very house, in which, on the 29th day of March, 1789, he was born. After an eventful life of nearly eighty years, during which he had passed through perils, incident to a long earthly career; and had varied experiences of joy and of sorrow; after returning to his home and enjoying years of tranquillity surrounded by an endeared family, and a large circle of friends, he peacefully resigns his earthly' life where he had received it, and departs to enjoy the life ever lasting.

Book Description
The myth of the Lost Cause of the Confederate States in the Civil War was and is an elaborate and intentional effort on the part of southerners to rationalise the secession and the war itself. Unfortunately, for historical truth and the national memory, these skilful propagandists, beginning with Jubal Early, have been so successful that the Lost Cause has assumed a life of its own and continues to misrepresent what really happened, distorting the national memory in the process. In this book, nine historians analyse the Lost Cause, describing its content and identifying its falsity. The work is thus a major contribution to Civil War historiography.

Book Description
This book is an analysis of thinking, remembering and reminiscing according to ancient authors, and their medieval readers. The author argues that behind the various medieval methods in interpreting texts of the past lie two apparently incompatible theories of human knowledge and remembering, as well as two differing attitudes to matter and intellect. The book comprises a series of studies which take ancient texts as evidence of the past, and show how medieval readers and writers understood them. The studies confirm that medieval and renaissance interpretations and uses of the past differ greatly from modern interpretation and yet betray many startling continuities between modern and ancient and medieval theories.

Book Description
A splendid new translation of one of the greatest books on friendship ever written In a world where social media, online relationships, and relentless self-absorption threaten the very idea of deep and lasting friendships, the search for true friends is more important than ever. In this short book, which is one of the greatest ever written on the subject, the famous Roman politician and philosopher Cicero offers a compelling guide to finding, keeping, and appreciating friends. With wit and wisdom, Cicero shows us not only how to build friendships but also why they must be a key part of our lives. For, as Cicero says, life without friends is not worth living. Filled with timeless advice and insights, Cicero’s heartfelt and moving classic—written in 44 BC and originally titled De Amicitia—has inspired readers for more than two thousand years, from St. Augustine and Dante to Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Presented here in a lively new translation with the original Latin on facing pages and an inviting introduction, How to Be a Friend explores how to choose the right friends, how to avoid the pitfalls of friendship, and how to live with friends in good times and bad. Cicero also praises what he sees as the deepest kind of friendship—one in which two people find in each other “another self” or a kindred soul. An honest and eloquent guide to finding and treasuring true friends, How to Be a Friend speaks as powerfully today as when it was first written.
