Bunyan, John
The Pilgrim's Progress (The Christian Classics)
Publisher: CBN University Press Virginia Beach, VA, 1978
Foreword by Dr. M. G. Robertson. Decorated Covers. In the preparation of this, the Puritan Edition of Pilgrims Progress, special attention has been paid to revision of the text, and great pains taken to restore this as nearly as possible to the text which had received Bunyans own latest corrections and additions. For example, Worldly Wiseman first makes his appearance in the second edition, published in 1678, the year already made famous by the publication of the first edition. In the third edition, issued in 1679, Bunyan added the characteristic portrait of Mr. By-ends. During Bunyans life-time, eleven editions of the great book were published, the last appearing in 1688, the year of his death. "The edition now presented to readers of every class contains the text of the Pilgrims Progress as it stood when Bunyans death removed all possibility of further revision

The Sanctity of Law: In What Does It Consist?
Publisher: Harper & Brothers Publishers New York, 1928
The Sanctity of Law: In What Does It Consist? The Story of Mans Attainment of Law and Order from Roman Times to the Present. By John W. Burgess, Ph.D., J.U.D., LL.D. New York: Harper & Brothers, Publishers, 1928. Hardcover. "
.I have persuaded myself to
treat the question of the Sanctity of Law with some fullness, from the points of view of history and philosophy as well as political ethics
.There is little question in the mid of the close observer of events that man, in the most civilized portions of the earth, is today passing from the theological to the scientific era in regard to the subject dealt with in this little volume. Throughout these same portions of the earth the scientific method of the acquisition of truth has already conquered the domains of mathematics and physics, and any attempt to control individual thought upon those subjects through legislation, business boycott, or social ostracism only provokes a smile of derision on the part of those who have any understanding of the scientific movement of the last half-century. We are now confronted with the same movement in politics and law

Publisher: Little, Brown and Company Boston, MA, 1905
A Man of the World. By Annie Payson Call. Boston, MA: Little, Brown, and Company, 1905. First edition. Hardcover. Annie Payson Call (1853-1940) was a popular writer from Waltham, Massachusetts. Her themes revolved around mental health. "There are two worlds in the minds of men: the one is artificial, selfish, and personal, the other is real and universal; the one is limited, material, essentially of the earth, the other supposes a kind of larger cosmopolitanism, and has no geographical limits at all; it is as wide as humanity itself, and only bounded by the capacity for experience, insight, and sympathy in the mind and heart of man. A true man of the world, therefore, is not primarily of it, --a true man of the world must know and understand the world; and in order to do so, he should be able at any time to get it into perspective

.The title of this book, Roses and How To Paint Them, comprises the painting of roses in general, be it in water color, on china, oil color, fresco pastels and textiles. The field is very broad and much matter could be gathered to make a very large book, but my aim was to explain, in an easy form, the technics that would give good results in the different branches of painting. Allowing that my word can not be the last, the rules, as given here, will surely lead the student to the proper path, as many students following these rules under my supervision have greatly profited and become proficient in the painting of roses and other flowers

Cannon, Poppy
A Gentle Knight: My Husband, Walter White
Publisher: Rinehart & Company, Inc. New York, 1956
"This is the biography of a marriage, unusually happy and tender, though subjected to cruel pressures and strains that might have shattered a less firm union. It is the warm and courageous story of Poppy Cannons marriage to Walter White, blue-eyed and fair-haired, a man who chose to identify himself as a Negro and thus made a special mockery of the so-called race problem. "With heart-warming frankness, understanding, and humor, Poppy Cannon tells of the problems faced by a white woman married to the executive head of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: the effect on her children in a highly conservative community, the storm in the press; new hostilities and friendships. "She sees and reports upon two worlds--white and colored--in a manner both personal and analytical. The Whites continued to fight together for the ideals he had relentlessly pursued all his life. "However, this is not merely a story of great achievements, great names, momentous decisions. It is above all, a vivid portrait of a man who had all the qualities of chivalre, trouthe, and honour, freedom and curtesey that Chaucer gave to his verray Parfit, Gentil Knight. Walter Whites death in 1955 was a stunning loss to all humanity." 309 pages with index. . Good. Hard Cover. Book condition: Good

Not even an expert could do much on a buckled paper or with hard cakes of color. With the correct materials and a bold approach there are no reasons for difficulties. Good drawing and a vivid imagination of course are an asset in any medium
