Life and Works. Edited by Robert Chambers Dear Reader, This book was referenced in one of the 185 issues of 'The Builder' Magazine which was published between January 1915 and May 1930. To celebrate the centennial of this publication, the Pictoumasons website presents a complete set of indexed issues of the magazine. As far as the editor was able to, books which were suggested to the reader have been searched for on the internet and included in 'The Builder' library.' This is a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by one of several organizations as part of a project to make the world's books discoverable online. Wherever possible, the source and original scanner identification has been retained. Only blank pages have been removed and this header- page added. The original book has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books belong to the public and 'pictoumasons' makes no claim of ownership to any of the books in this library; we are merely their custodians. Often, marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in these files – a reminder of this book's long journey from the publisher to a library and finally to you. Since you are reading this book now, you can probably also keep a copy of it on your computer, so we ask you to Keep it legal. Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just because we believe a book to be in the public domain for users in Canada, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in 'The Builder' library means it can be used in any manner anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe. The Webmaster LIFE AND WORKS ROBERT BURNS. EDITED BY EGBERT CHASIBERS. IN FOUR VOLUMES. VOL.

  • George T. Delacorte 1893-1991
    George T. Delacorte 1893-1991 Memorialized by several funds in The New York Community Trust eorge T. Delacorte, the founder of the Dell Publishing empire, was a quintessential New York City philanthropist. In a series of Gimaginative projects, often motivated by his fondness for Central Park and children, he literally put his name of some of the City’s best-known park features. Notable among them is the Alice-in-Wonderland statue just north of the Conservatory Pond, given in memory of his first wife, Margarita, and the Delacorte Clock, the carousel at the Children’s Zoo whose resident statues of a bear, a concertina-wielding elephant, a horn-playing kangaroo, and other animal figures perform every half-hour to the sound of a glockenspiel. A benefactor with a gift for dramatic and whimsical gestures, George was once dubbed by the New York Times as “a kind of slender Santa Claus.” Other papers saw him as a “delightfully eccentric philanthropist.” Simply put, his generosity gave him joy. Of the Alice-in- Wonderland statue he once said: “It just seemed a nice thing to have in the park. On Sunday mornings I watch the kids climbing over it, The Alice-in-Wonderland statue in Central Park. “What good is it? What good is the Eiffel Tower? Not everything has to have a practical function.” — George T. Delacorte under it. It’s a regular parade.” His philanthropic vision was aptly summed up by the name of the charitable foundation he created in 1964, Make New York Beautiful Inc., formed to “promote interest and aid in the donation of permanent improvements to the City of New York for its cultural advancement and beautification.” During his travels abroad, George became enamored of the fountains in European cities and believed that New York should have them too, leading to the installation of fountains at Columbus Circle, Bowling Green, and City Hall.

  • Pond Carousel
    Pond The southeast corner of Central Park was from its inception, and continues to be today, the most heavily used Park entrance. Fully half of all Park visitors enter by way of Grand Army Plaza. In the 19th century it was the first destination of a carriage ride north from the growing city to the Park. Olmsted and Vaux, who designed Central Park in 1858, intended the Pond landscape to welcome visitors and offer an instant haven from the city, which it continues to do to this day. The placid shores of The Pond offer visitors to Central Park an instant haven from the City. The comma-shaped Pond is situated below street level, which has the effect of muting the urban cacophony and creating a surprising calm. The gracefully-shaped Gapstow Bridge arches over the northeast end of the Pond, framing the picturesque scene. This is the second bridge of the same name on this site. The original, whose design is attributed to Jacob Wrey Mould, was built in 1874. One of the most unusual bridges in the Park, it was made of stone abutments, with cast-iron filigree and two semi-circular wooden arches. The wooden arches and flooring deteriorated, and the bridge was replaced in 1896 by the present simple stone structure made from unadorned Manhattan schist (the local bedrock). The nearby Cop Cot (Scottish for little house on the crest of the hill) — the Park's largest rustic wood structure — is perched on a large rock outcrop at the Sixth Avenue entrance, providing a splendid view of the Pond below.

  • Golden Road,The
    "Life was a rose-lipped comrade With purple flowers dripping from her fingers." --The Author. TO THE MEMORY OF Aunt Mary Lawson WHO TOLD ME MANY OF THE TALES REPEATED BY THE STORY GIRL FOREWORD Once upon a time we all walked on the golden road. It was a fair highway, through the Land of Lost Delight; shadow and sunshine were blessedly mingled, and every turn and dip revealed a fresh charm and a new loveliness to eager hearts and unspoiled eyes. On that road we heard the song of morning stars; we drank in fragrances aerial and sweet as a May mist; we were rich in gossamer fancies and iris hopes; our hearts sought and found the boon of dreams; the years waited beyond and they were very fair; life was a rose-lipped comrade with purple flowers dripping from her fingers. We may long have left the golden road behind, but its memories are the dearest of our eternal possessions; and those who cherish them as such may haply find a pleasure in the pages of this book, whose people are pilgrims on the golden road of youth. THE GOLDEN ROAD CHAPTER I A NEW DEPARTURE "I've thought of something amusing for the winter," I said as we drew into a half-circle around the glorious wood-fire in Uncle Alec's kitchen. It had been a day of wild November wind, closing down into a wet, eerie twilight. Outside, the wind was shrilling at the windows and around the eaves, and the rain was playing on the roof.

  • James White – Health, Or, How to Live.Pdf
    Health, or, How to Live H E A L T H: OR H O W T O L I V E. N U M B E R O N E. "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul prospereth." 3 John 1:2. STEAM PRESS OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION. BATTLE CREEK, MICH. 1865. [Digital Edition's Note: This work was a series of six pamphlets compiled from various writers and published under the title "Health, or How to Live" with each pamphlet paged separately. However, in this digital collection the material will be paged consecutively throughout as follow: Number One: pages 1-64 Number Two: pages 65-128 (64 pages) Number Three: pages 129-192 (64 pages) Number Four: pages 193-256 (64 pages) Number Five: pages 257-336 (80 pages) Number Six: pages 337-400 (64 pages) James White wrote the Introduction, at the end of which he noted that Ellen White was contributing one article for each of the six pamphlets. The Ellen White material will also be found in 2SM411-479. We chose to leave her articles here as well. As will be gathered from a reading of the other material (such as the report on the visit to "Our Home"), James White was both a contributor and the compiler. His notes will also be found at the beginning of Numbers Two and Three.] NUMBER ONE "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul prospereth." 3 John 1:2.

  • The Characteristics and Affinities of the Amphisbaenia
    Trans. zool. Soc. Lond. (1978) 34, 347-416 The characteristics and affinities of the Amphisbaenia CARLGANS Division of Biological Sciences, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U.S.A. (Accepted I3 June 1978) Published for THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON bY ACADEMIC PRESS COPYRIGHT 0 1978 THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON, REGENT'S PARK, LONDON, NWI 4RX The characteristics and affinities of the Amphisbaenia The amphisbaenians, to judge from the many changes of opinion regarding their appropriate position among the vertebrates, appear to have puzzled most students of herpetology. Re- evaluation suggests that a case may now be made for classifying the amphisbaenians as an order, separate from the lizards and snakes, but included with thern in a superorder Squamata. Evidence for such a position may be derived from several dozen systems in which amphisbaenians differ from lizards, from snakes, or from both. Although individual character states are occasionally equivalent to those shown by one or another family of lizards, there is no "closest" family. This suggests that the Amphisbaenia probably diverged from the remainder of the Squamata before the diversification of all present families of lizards. Unfortunately many of the character states are still known from only a limited number of amphisbaenians and information for other groupings of squamates is similarly inadequate.
