Other editions of book The Safe Compass and How It Points

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Excerpt from The Safe Compass, and How It PointsWhat a curious thing a compass is! How strange ly the little needle trembles on the point of the piece of wire which supports it! How wonderful it is to see that needle always pointing to the North! Who can explain how it is that it always does so? God made it to be always pointing in one direction, and it does just what he wants it to do. This is all we know about it. If you ask a learned man what it is which makes the needle of the compass always point to the North, he will tell vou it is magnetism. But, if you ask him what magnetism is, or how it pro duces this effect upon the needle, he can not tell you.Nobody can explain this. But the compass is not the less useful because none can explain the way in which the needle acts. The compass is one of the most useful things we have. The sailor never could find his way over the sea without 'it. And those who have to travel over great deserts, or through coun tries in which there are no roads, always need a com pass, to show them the direction in which they should go.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
