Indian Battles: With Incidents in the Early History of New England. E-book. Formato PDF Henry White   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

IT has been the growing conviction of the author of these pages, that there is much in the early his tory of New England suited to effect the happiest results that it contains numerous incidents highly, adapted to exhibit God in a most glorious and de lightful view; to give us admiring thoughts of his wisdom, benevolence, and faithfulness; to in?ame the love, strengthen the faith, and awaken the gratitude of his people; to interest and instruct the mind, and to promote morality and religion in the community. With this impression, it seemed exceedingly de sirable that these incidents should be extensively r.ead But hitherto they have been confined to a few rare works, so that, to most persons, they have been inaccessible, and to a great degree unknown. The design of this volume is, to embody these incidents, and present them to the reader in one view.

The Village Gods of South India. E-book. Formato PDF Henry Whitehead   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

The material for this account of the village gods of South India has been gathered almost entirely from my own Observation and inquiry. I have been able to get little help from books, as this is, I think, the first attempt at dealing systematically with this aspect of Indian religion. It does not pretend to be anything like an exhaustive account of all the various rites and ceremonies Observed in the worship of the village deities. The variety of ritual and ceremonial in the different districts Of South India is almost endless, and I have not attempted in this book to give an account even of all the various ceremonies that have come within my own knowledge. Perhaps it would be more correct to call the book An Introduction to the Study Of the Village Gods of South India. I believe, however, that all the main types of this particular form Of Hinduism are included in the following pages, and that enough has been said to enable the reader to get a fairly complete idea of its general character and to compare it with similar forms Of religion in other parts of the world.

Banks and Their Customers / A practical guide for all who keep banking accounts from / the customers' point of view. E-book. Formato PDF Henry White Warren   -  Ionlineshopping.Com, 2019  - 

“Contains a vast amount of useful information intelligently discussed. To educate the public on a technical subject calls for more than ordinary knowledge. It needs what Mr. Warren undoubtedly possesses, and that is a sound, practical understanding, and a thorough common-sense way of setting forth his knowledge in simple form. This our author succeeds admirably in doing.” The author in a short chapter tells us how and why the joint-stock bank came to dwell among us. Then he plunges into his subject—the Guide for the Customer. The chapter on the cheque and its various crossings is admirable.  He who keeps his account in credit is told much that he ought to know; the depositor is shown how to check his interest; the borrower how to negotiate a loan or advance; and everybody is told the manner in which he may easily check the charges debited in his pass-book. Speaking for my own bank, I do not care who makes use of this clearly-put information. Let our clients obtain the book by all means. We shall then be spared the trouble of answering a host of stupid questions during the busiest parts of the year.
