Books with author Pat David

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages.

His object was to excite rather than satisfy the curiosity. Of his hearers - to impress them with the universality and uniformity of natural law - believing there can be no true notion of Nature or of Nature's requirements while her facts are viewed through the medium of the miraculous. Nor let it be thought that, by recogmsmg In every instance the fixity and unerring operation of Law, we place a wider distance between the Creator and his works, or that any knowledge of this kind has a tend ency to self-sufficiency or irreverence. On the 00n trary, he who knows most of creational slaw, and that the most intimately, stands generally the least in need of the injunction Put off thy shoes from. Off thy feet, for the place whereon thou treadest is holy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

About the Book In historical fiction the plot is set in the past, and pays attention to the manners, social conditions and other details of the period portrayed. Some authors choose to include famous historical figures in their fictional plots, so that audiences can imagine how those individuals might have responded to the plots and environments established by the author. The Western literary component of this genre is founded in the early 19th century works of such authors as Sir Walter Scott, Honoré de Balzac, James Fenimore Cooper, and Leo Tolstoy.Also in this Book Books on painting describe the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid support base.
