The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.

This volume is created as a part of "A Seat of Knowledge Series," to further the good cause of Masonry, as the information contained herein is of primary importance to Masonic research. The documents herein were compiled with the purpose of easing the burden of study. To assist with readability, this book is a reproduction of the originals with editorial work, 12 pt. font, which includes illustrations. There are no interpretations, considerations or footnotes offered for a reason. The reader is left to interpret according to their knowledge and education in Freemasonry. The documents are listed in order of date; however, the Halliwell MS as the prominent is listed first. Due to the Royal change in 1714, many of the Masonic records and manuscripts were either removed and spirited away or destroyed by the incoming or outgoing Royal House. There is no definitive answer to what happened to the existing documents during that time. The Hanoverians looked upon the Masons as a dangerous rival political force, yet the popularity of the Lodges made their suppression difficult. Their solution was to create a rival "official" Masonry, and so, in 1717, members of the aristocracy loyal to the new King created what they called a "Grand Lodge" claiming authority and control over all Masons everywhere, and declaring that without a charter from them, they were not Masons and they could not meet! Naturally, this did not sit well with the various lodges so Rival "Grand Lodges" were formed, the so-called "immemorial" lodges refused to surrender authority to the London Grand Lodge, and the practice of "making" and "unmaking" Masons of various allegiances was begun. That is why there is that language about "irregular lodges" in the Third-degree obligation.In the study of the pre-1688 documents, the astute researcher will recognize the "then and now" of Freemasonry. Surviving Documents predating the fire of London in 1666 and the 1688 revolution of England after the Hanoverian House took the reigns of monarchy from the Royal Stuart''s Family of Scotland are also included.The Origins of Freemasonry by Bro. Thomas Paine has also been included at the end of the documents. We hereby begin with an essay on the old Charges by Brother Robert Gould.

How does a statistical model differ from a mathematical model? What are the differences among the sample distribution, the sampling distribution, and the population distribution? In an experiment, what effect does the sampling method have on the results? What are the implications of the use of processes of random selection and random assignment? Can a small sample yield accurate estimates of population parameters? This book examines five big ideas and twenty-four related essential understandings for teaching statistics in grades 9–12. The authors distinguish mathematical and statistical models, explore distributions as descriptions of variability in data, focus on the fundamentals of testing hypotheses to draw conclusions from data, highlight the importance of the data collection method, and recognise the need to examine bias, precision, and sampling method in evaluating statistical estimators. Recognising that analysing data is an important part of understanding the world, the authors discuss the growth of students’ ideas about statistics and examine challenges to teaching, learning, and assessment. They intersperse their discussion with questions for teachers’ reflection.

On the Boston Common stands one of the great Civil War memorials, a magnificent bronze sculpture by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. It depicts the black soldiers of the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Infantry marching alongside their young white commander, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw. When the philosopher William James dedicated the memorial in May 1897, he stirred the assembled crowd with these words: "There they march, warm-blooded champions of a better day for man. There on horseback among them, in the very habit as he lived, sits the blue-eyed child of fortune." In this book Shaw speaks for himself with equal eloquence through nearly two hundred letters he wrote to his family and friends during the Civil War. The portrait that emerges is of a man more divided and complex--though no less heroic--than the Shaw depicted in the celebrated film Glory. The pampered son of wealthy Boston abolitionists, Shaw was no abolitionist himself, but he was among the first patriots to respond to Lincoln''s call for troops after the attack on Fort Sumter. After Cedar Mountain and Antietam, Shaw knew the carnage of war firsthand. Describing nightfall on the Antietam battlefield, he wrote, "the crickets chirped, and the frogs croaked, just as if nothing unusual had happened all day long, and presently the stars came out bright, and we lay down among the dead, and slept soundly until daylight. There were twenty dead bodies within a rod of me." When Federal war aims shifted from an emphasis on restoring the Union to the higher goal of emancipation for four million slaves, Shaw''s mother pressured her son into accepting the command of the North''s vanguard black regiment, the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts. A paternalist who never fully reconciled his own prejudices about black inferiority, Shaw assumed the command with great reluctance. Yet, as he trained his recruits in Readville, Massachusetts, during the early months of 1963, he came to respect their pluck and dedication. "There is not the least doubt," he wrote his mother, "that we shall leave the state, with as good a regiment, as any that has marched." Despite such expressions of confidence, Shaw in fact continued to worry about how well his troops would perform under fire. The ultimate test came in South Carolina in July 1863, when the Fifty-fourth led a brave but ill-fated charge on Fort Wagner, at the approach to Charleston Harbor. As Shaw waved his sword and urged his men forward, an enemy bullet felled him on the fort''s parapet. A few hours later the Confederates dumped his body into a mass grave with the bodies of twenty of his men. Although the assault was a failure from a military standpoint, it proved the proposition to which Shaw had reluctantly dedicated himself when he took command of the Fifty-fourth: that black soldiers could indeed be fighting men. By year''s end, sixty new black regiments were being organized. A previous selection of Shaw''s correspondence was privately published by his family in 1864. For this volume, Russell Duncan has restored many passages omitted from the earlier edition and has provided detailed explanatory notes to the letters. In addition he has written a lengthy biographical essay that places the young colonel and his regiment in historical context.

In seventh grade a close friend of mine, Chanel Brossett, told me she wanted to be a cop. She was joking, but she gave me the idea to write Partners. I got to thinking about what the world would be like if some of my friends were cops and some were crooks. Partners starts off as a bank robbery, which leads to so much more. Partners will take you on the adventure of a group of law enforcers out to avenge the murder of one of their own. They will encounter numerous obstacles and several set backs. It''s a story of determination, revenge and other drama that comes in between. Surprisingly, the ending of this book is only the beginning. Leo Mondaca is not a man to be messed with, but unfortunately the good guys don''t know this. Their quest to take Leo down will prove to be very hard and could eventually back fire on them. Leo is the biggest drug dealer and smuggler in Texas and the most powerful man in Dallas and he''s about to attempt to change Dallas'' history forever. Daniel Ramos and his crew are heading to Dallas and they are about to join forces with Leo to create a deadly force. Robert is a Texas Ranger. He and a small group of his allies will have to do everything in their power to take down their foes. They will be the only thing standing between Leo and Daniel and their dream of becoming the biggest drug dealers in the world. Drugs only play a minor role in Partners; the real story is a lot more complicated. Partners is full of mystery, denial, betrayal, speed and a whole lot of action, and yet this is merely the beginning. Eventually the whole story will be told, this is the story of Partners. *Dedicated to Mrs. Jackson, my seventh grade English teacher

When a T. rex invades the present day through a time portal, the Time Soldiers kids struggle to keep the raging dinosaur from harming anyone.

A new personality scale measuring the extent to which an individual utilizes the defense mechanism of splitting was developed and validated. Named the Splitting Index (SI), this measure is based upon the writings of Kemberg (e.g., 1975) on self and object representations and the mechanism of splitting. The SI was developed over the course of six pilot studies and then validated during two additional studies, utilizing a total of 2401 subjects drawn from introductory psychology courses at the University of Texas at Austin. Factor analyses revealed a 24-item scale with three 8-item subscales, measuring the splitting of self, family, and others'' images. The SI and its sub scales were demonstrated to be internally consistent and stable over a four-week period. Convergent validity results featured significant correlations with measures of the borderline and narcissistic personality disorders, self-image stability, self-esteem, depression, and negative affectivity. Discriminant validity was demonstrated by near-zero correlations with two measures of cognitive complexity. Contrary to predictions, the SI was significantly correlated with measures of dogmatism and social desirability. Additional research was suggested to further validate the SI, and research and clinical applications of the measure were presented. Several theoretical considerations were also addressed, including the role of splitting processes in everyday life.
