Secret Societies And Subversive Movements
- Author: Webster Nesta H.
- Genre: Other Practices
As you can comprehend from the title, the author focuses on clandestine mysterious communities. The book covers the activity of templars, freemasons, illuminates, cabalists and others in chronological order and their influence from behind the scenes. Certainly, not every secret society had such a power to control the world and politics, but this volume includes history of major ones. Written by the British patriot Nesta H. Webster, it is a fascinating reading of pre-1920s conspiracy theory.
a discourse of matters pertaining to religion
- Author: Parker Theodore
- Genre: Unitarian Universalism
1863. Part One of Fourteen. Theodore Parker was a preacher, lecturer, and writer, a public intellectual, and a religious and social reformer. He played a major role in moving Unitarianism away from being a Bible-based faith, and he established a precedent for clerical activism that has inspired generations of liberal religious leaders. Although ranked with William Ellery Channing as the most important and influential Unitarian minister of the nineteenth century, he was an extremely controversial figure (he was active in the antislavery movement) in his own day and his legacy to Unitarian Universalism remains contested. A Discourse of Matters, a Transcendentalist manifesto, is a course of lectures wherein Parker systematically lays out his ideas about inspiration, Jesus, the Bible, and the church.

Excerpt from book: THE LIFE AND DEATH SIR MATTHEW HALE, Knight, LORD CHIEF JUSTICE OF ENGLAND. Matthew Hale was born at Alderley in Gloucestershire, the first of November, 1609. His grandfather was Robert Hale, an eminent clothier at Wotton-under-Edge, in that county, where he and his ancestors had lived for many descents : and they had given several parcels of land for the use of the poor, which are enjoyed by them to this day. This Robert, acquired an estate of ten thousand pounds; which he divided, almost equally, amongst his five sons; besides the portions he gave his daughters, from whom a numerous posterity has sprung. His second son was Robert Hale, a barrister of Lincoln's-inn: he married Joan, the daughter of Matthew Poyntz, of Alderley, Esquire, who was descended from that noble family of the Poyntzes of Acton. Of this marriage, there wasno other issue, but this one son. His grandfather, by his mother, was his godfather; and gave him his own name, at his baptism. His father was a man of that strictness of conscience, that he gave over the practice of the law, because he could not understand the reason of giving colour in pleadings, which, as he thought, was to tell a lie; and that, with some other things commonly practised, seemed to him contrary to that exactness of truth and justice, which became a Christian: so that, he withdrew himself from the inns of court, to live on his estate in the country. Of this I was informed, by an ancient gentleman, that lived in a friendship with his son, for fifty years; and he heard Judge Jones, that was Mr. Hale's contemporary, declare this, in the King's Bench. But, as the care he had to save his soul, made him abandon a profession, in which he might have raised his family much higher; so, his charity to his poor neighhours, made him, not onl...
