He writes of «a one–way street to happy adventure in the South seas; a background of the Polynesian sort,...

Discourse on the Origin of Inequality

If humans are benevolent by nature, how do societies become corrupt? And how do governments founded upon the defense of individual rights degenerate into tyranny? These are the questions addressed by Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Discourse on the Origin of Inequality, a strikingly original inquiry into much-explored issues of 18th-century (and subsequent) philosophy: human nature and the best form of government.Rousseau takes an innovative approach by introducing a «hypothetical history» that...

Daniel Boone's Own Story & The Adventures of Daniel Boone

"Many dark and sleepless nights have I been a companion for owls, separated from the cheerful society of men, scorched by the summer's sun and pinched by the winter's cold — an instrument ordained to settle the wilderness." Motivated by a powerful sense of purpose, Daniel Boone blazed the Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap. Thousands followed, settling in Boonesborough, Kentucky, to form one of the first English-speaking communities west of the Appalachians. This...

This is the first biography of Captain Thomas Tingey, who was a key figure in the development of the early U.S. Navy.

This is at the same time a history of the first quarter-century of the Washington Navy Yard, which Tingey commanded for that...
