This is a study of Hume's political thought based on a survey of all his writings in their original and revised versions, with full reference to the works of predecessors and contemporaries, including journalists, pamphleteers and historians. Hume's political thinking is presented in its historical context as an innovative, 'philosophical', empirically based system of politics for a radical post-revolutionary age, and a political education for parochial, backward-looking party men.

<p>Excerpt from Grammar of the Persian Language: To Which Is Added, a Selection of Easy Extracts for Reading; Together With a Vocabulary, and TranslationsThe Object of the following, Work is to facilitate the acqui sitiou of a language universally allowed to be the richest and most elegant of those spoken in Modern Asia. To the general scholar, the Persian recommends itself, from its vast stores of graceful and entertaining literature. To the traveller in the East, a knowledge of it is as essential as that Of the French used to be. In Europe. Lastly, to our British Youth, who annually resort to India, destined to become, in due time, the guardians Of our Eastern Empire, an acquaintance with Persian is of the utmost importance. In the first place, it is the Court language of the Musalman Princes, and that of the higher classes generally; and, in the second place, a knowledge of it is requisite for the proper attainment of the Hindustani, or popular language, which is spoken and understood, more or less, in every part of the country.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

<p>"La tension implicite dans toute photographie est la tension entre un objet inerte, en noir et blanc, à deux dimensions, et un événement qui a réellement existé dans le monde phénoménal. Une photographie réussie intervient, mais ne résout jamais complètement cette tension." En 1972, alors que sa carrière commençait à décoller, Lewis Baltz a mené une interview révélatrice, sa première déclaration réfléchie sur la photographie. Jamais publiée, l'interview a récemment refait surface et est imprimée ici pour la première fois. Dans un échange de plus en plus sardonique, Baltz décrit le caractère de sa pratique, articule sa position dans et contre le monde de la photographie, et commente son héritage intellectuel et son ambition professionnelle. Une exploration pénétrante du caractère de son médium, l’art et la présence mercurielle de Baltz sont remarquablement mis à nu. L’interview de Baltz est entièrement annotée par un essai introductif de Duncan Forbes. DISCOURSE est une série de petits livres dans lesquels un théoricien de la culture, un conservateur ou un artiste explore un thème, une œuvre d'art ou une idée dans un texte illustré étendu. Lewis Baltz (1945-2014) était un photographe américain et une figure éminente du mouvement New Topographics, qui a été le fer de lance du développement de la photographie conceptuelle. Son travail est conservé dans toutes les grandes collections muséales et institutionnelles. Duncan Forbes est directeur de la photographie au Victoria & Albert Museum de Londres. Il était auparavant conservateur principal de la photographie aux National Galleries of Scotland, directeur du Fotomuseum Winterthur, en Suisse, et chercheur au Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles. Ses publications et expositions récentes explorent des aspects de la photographie européenne, japonaise, mexicaine et nord-américaine.</p>

Following the story of the historical Buddha`s life on earth, to each of the eight places of traditional pilgrimage, which are hallowed by the Buddha`s Birth, Enlightenment, Decease and other significant events. Other sites, which are important in the story of Gautama Buddha and have been rediscovered in recent years, are also described, and the author suggests where a search should be made for those that still remain hidden. He also discusses the problems that arose when attempts were made, little more than a hundred years ago, to identify these places in the light of the descriptions by Chinese pilgrims that have come down to us. He reveals the errors of that time, which have been rectified in the light of more recent evidence. This is a personal journey by a well-known travel-writer, whose lifelong interest in Buddhism leads him to present his own picture of the origin and development of the faith and to propose answers to questions that are still unresolved. The author has also provided an original plan for each of the sites visited as well as a full description of the place, and the book is illustrated by the author`s own photographs.
