George Alfred Henty (8 December 1832 – 16 November 1902), was a prolific English novelist and a special correspondent. He is best known for his historical adventure stories that were popular in the late 19th century. His works include The Dragon & The Raven (1886), For The Temple (1888), Under Drake's Flag (1883) and In Freedom's Cause (1885).G.A. Henty was born in Trumpington, near Cambridge. He was a sickly child who had to spend long periods in bed. During his frequent illnesses he became an avid reader and developed a wide range of interests which he carried into adulthood. He attended Westminster School, London and later Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge,[1] where he was a keen sportsman. He left the university early without completing his degree to volunteer for the Army Hospital Commissariat when the Crimean War began. He was sent to the Crimea and while there he witnessed the appalling conditions under which the British soldier had to fight. His letters home were filled with vivid descriptions of what he saw. His father was impressed by his letters and sent them to The Morning Advertiser newspaper which printed them. This initial writing success was a factor in Henty's later decision to accept the offer to become a special correspondent, the early name for journalists now better known as war correspondents.
Shortly before resigning from the army as a captain in 1859 he married Elizabeth Finucane. The couple had four children. Elizabeth died in 1865 after a long illness and shortly after her death Henty began writing articles for the Standard newspaper. In 1866 the newspaper sent him as their special correspondent to report on the Austro-Italian War where he met Giuseppe Garibaldi. He went on to cover the 1868 British punitive expedition to Abyssinia, the Franco-Prussian War, the Ashanti War, the Carlist Rebellion in Spain and the Turco-Serbian War.[2] He also witnessed the opening of the Suez Canal and travelled to Palestine, Russia and India.
Henty was a strong supporter of the British Empire all his life; according to literary critic Kathryn Castle: "Henty...exemplified the ethos of the new imperialism, and glorified in its successes". [3] Henty's ideas about politics were influenced by writers such as Sir Charles Dilke, 2nd Baronet and Thomas Carlyle.[2]
Henty once related in an interview how his storytelling skills grew out of tales told after dinner to his children. He wrote his first children's book, Out on the Pampas in 1868, naming the book's main characters after his children. The book was published by Griffith and Farran in November 1870 with a title page date of 1871. While most of the 122 books he wrote were for children, he also wrote adult novels, non-fiction such as The March to Magdala and Those Other Animals, short stories for the likes of The Boy's Own Paper and edited the Union Jack, a weekly boy's magazine.
His children's novels typically revolved around a boy or young man living in troubled times. These ranged [mehr]

MADAME CAMPAN
MEMOIRS OF THE COURT OF MARIE ANTOINETTE

Jeanne Louise Henriette Campan (née Genet; 6 October[1] 1752, Paris – 16 March 1822, Mantes) was a French educator, writer and lady-in-waiting. In the service of Marie Antoinette before and during the French Revolution, she was afterwards headmistress of the first "Maison d'éducation de la Légion d'honneur", as appointed by Napoleon in 1807.
Her father was the highest-ranking clerk in the foreign office (the ambassador Citizen Genet was her younger brother), and, although without fortune, placed her in the most cultivated society. By the age of fifteen she could speak English and Italian, and had gained so high a reputation for her academic accomplishments as to be appointed reader to Louis XV's daughters (Princesses Victoire, Sophie and Louise) in 1768, and lady-in-waiting to Marie Antoinette in 1770. She was a general favourite at court, and when in 1774 she bestowed her hand upon Monsieur Campan, son of the secretary of the royal cabinet, the king gave her an annuity of 5,000 livres as dowry. The marriage was unhappy and the couple separated in 1790. Madame Campan was made First Lady of the Bedchamber by Marie Antoinette in 1786; and she continued to attend on her until the storming of the Tuileries on 10 August 1792, in which she was forcibly separated from the queen. With her own house under attack on this occasion, Henriette sought asylum in the countryside.
She survived the dangers of the Terror, but after the 9th of Thermidor, finding herself almost penniless, and being thrown on her own resources by the illness of her spouse, Madame Campan determined to support herself by establishing a school at St Germain. The institution prospered, and was patronized by Hortense de Beauharnais, whose influence led to the appointment of Madame Campan as superintendent of the academy founded by Napoleon at Écouen for the education of the daughters and sisters of members of his Légion d'honneur in 1807. She held this post until it was abolished at the restoration of the Bourbons in 1814, when she retired to Mantes, where she spent the rest of her life amid the kind attentions of affectionate friends, but saddened by the loss of her only son, and by the calumnies circulated on account of her connexion with the Bonapartes.
Henriette Campan died in 1822, leaving valuable Memoirs of the Private Life of Marie Antoinette (published 1823 (posthumously), Paris, 3 vols.), subtitled To which are Added Personal Recollections Illustrative of the Reigns of Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI (French: Mémoires sur la vie privée de Marie Antoinette, suivis de souvenirs et anecdotes historiques sur les règnes de Louis XIV – XV); a treatise De l'Education des Femmes (pub. 1824); and one or two small didactic works, written in a clear and natural style. The most noteworthy thing in her educational system, and that which especially recommended it to Napoleon, was the place given to domestic economy in the education of girls. At Écouen the pupils underwent a complete trai [mehr]

Robert Browning (7 May 1812 – 12 December 1889) was an English poet and playwright whose mastery of dramatic verse, especially dramatic monologues, madRobert Browning was born in Camberwell (a district now forming part of the Borough of Southwark in south London), the only son of Sarah Anna (née Wiedemann) and Robert Browning.[1][2] His father was a well-paid clerk for the Bank of England, earning about £150 per year.[3] Browning's paternal grandfather was a wealthy slave owner in Saint Kitts, West Indies, but Browning's father was an abolitionist. Browning's father had been sent to the West Indies to work on a sugar plantation, but, revolted by the slavery there, he returned to England. Browning's mother was a daughter of a German shipowner who had settled in Dundee in Scotland, and his Scottish wife. Browning had one sister, Sarianna. Browning's paternal grandmother, Margaret Tittle, who had inherited a plantation in St Kitts, was rumoured within the family to have had some Jamaican mixed race ancestry. Author Julia Markus suggests St Kitts rather than Jamaica.[4][5] Evidence is inconclusive.[6] Robert's father, a literary collector, amassed a library of around 6,000 books, many of them rare. Thus, Robert was raised in a household of significant literary resources. His mother, to whom he was very close, was a devout nonconformist and a talented musician.[1] His younger sister, Sarianna, also gifted, became her brother's companion in his later years, after the death of his wife in 1861. His father encouraged his children's interest in literature and the arts.[1]
By twelve, Browning had written a book of poetry which he later destroyed when no publisher could be found. After being at one or two private schools, and showing an insuperable dislike of school life, he was educated at home by a tutor via the resources of his father's extensive library.[1] By the age of fourteen he was fluent in French, Greek, Italian and Latin. He became a great admirer of the Romantic poets, especially Shelley. Following the precedent of Shelley, Browning became an atheist and vegetarian, both of which he gave up later. At the age of sixteen, he studied Greek at University College London but left after his first year.[1] His parents' staunch evangelical faith prevented his studying at either Oxford or Cambridge University, both then open only to members of the Church of England.[1] He had inherited substantial musical ability through his mother, and composed arrangements of various songs. He refused a formal career and ignored his parents' remonstrations, dedicating himself to poetry. He stayed at home until the age of 34, financially dependent on his family until his marriage. His father sponsored the publication of his son's poems.[1]e him one of the foremost Victorian poets. [mehr]

PREFACE
The Handbook of Medical Entomology is the outgrowth of a course of
lectures along the lines of insect transmission and dissemination of
diseases of man given by the senior author in the Department of
Entomology of Cornell University during the past six years. More
specifically it is an illustrated revision and elaboration of his "Notes
on the Relation of Insects to Disease" published January, 1912.
Its object is to afford a general survey of the field, and primarily to
put the student of medicine and entomology in touch with the discoveries
and theories which underlie some of the most important modern work in
preventive medicine. At the same time the older phases of the
subject--the consideration of poisonous and parasitic forms--have not
been ignored.
Considering the rapid shifts in viewpoint, and the development of the
subject within recent years, the authors do not indulge in any hopes
that the present text will exactly meet the needs of every one
specializing in the field,--still less do they regard it as complete or
final. The fact that the enormous literature of isolated articles is to
be found principally in foreign periodicals and is therefore difficult
of access to many American workers, has led the authors to hope that a
summary of the important advances, in the form of a reference book may
not prove unwelcome to physicians, sanitarians and working
entomologists, and to teachers as a text supplementing lecture work in
the subject.
Lengthy as is the bibliography, it covers but a very small fraction of
the important contributions to the subject. It will serve only to put
those interested in touch with original sources and to open up the
field. Of the more general works, special acknowledgment should be made
to those of Banks, Brumpt, Castellani and Chalmers, Comstock, Hewitt,
Howard, Manson, Mense, Neveau-Lemaire, Nuttall, and Stiles.
To the many who have aided the authors in the years past, by suggestions

THE MAGICAL TRIPLE BRILLIANT SEVENS PROPHECY
LEOIL

This book is full of magic and power, connects us to the new era we are living through with futuristic visions and prophecies of the future. This revelation 777 represents issues of the second millennium, such as the abstraction of words and the handling of images similar to a pictorial movement emerged in the year 1949 - POP ART - which is characterized by the use of iconography of popular culture that were taken from the media, as in the case of advertisements, comic books and other publications. In this opportunity, it is shown how art has been made with the famous masterpiece "The Vitruvian Man" by Leonardo da Vinci.
Part of the present investigation has been based on coincidences relative to my life with the environment, through which I have managed to confirm that I am the great awaited Vitruvian Man II. To consider myself a Titan, has allowed me to understand what every person belonging to this world must know to obtain their keys to success.
In this prophecy I have shown that I am Vitruvian Man II, with a kind of POP ART, and I have highlighted images of NASA, Coins and Poker Cards that remind us of the consumerism that occurs in cities where the capital market flows. The image of the casino roulette is used to illustrate the chance of our time, at the moment of witnessing a possible extraterrestrial contact in the year 2251.
The coincidences based on numerology with the number 7 and personal data, which can not be modified, are a proof of the accuracy of what I show you today. With the intention of corroborating my discovery, I undertook the task of traveling to mark in the world that I am Vitruvian Man II, (the logo used by some astronauts in their space suit) for that purpose I made the crossing AUSTIN, AUSTRALIA, ARGENTINA, AUSTRIA that they are related to the word ASTRONAUT.
The creation of new economic systems, sources of energy, means of transport, or even as our physical form will be, can hardly be known with the way we think today. This book opens the doors to a different world, where the high probabilities stand out that the English language will be the most used by the majority of human beings. Taking into consideration that this language today dominates more than 80% of the economic operations and the media, I visualize it as a fundamental tool for the future that will be unveiled to you. In this sense, I show you 77 verbs, 777 words, and various practical sentences that are used in the TOEFL test.
Philosophers such as Albert Einstein marked the structure of today's society and I, Vitruvian Man II, was born on the same day as this famous person, (March 14) and therefore I want to show you how to be the future. However, it is important to emphasize that the knowledge about how our ancestors have solved the problems has been the method that most societies have applied until now.
Words like miracle, religious beliefs and / or extraterrestrial approaches have been pillars of what we live today. However, thinking about prophecies that are transformed into ideas to do good is what has been beyond the reach of humanity, preventing them from processing what is really behind our true being. The energy focused on self-sustaining procedures as well as mutual values in the study of emerging patterns, will be the variables that will take us to the New Era.
I have discovered the New Age Leoil full of wonders, which when mixed with my experiences, form what for you will be discovered in this book

My goal is to help you travel this New Era, which others have already called the Aquarian Age, which was established since December 21, 2012.
I'm in a picture with a hat of Arlequin, doing some wizardry with the coins of the Italian euro and 1000 Bolivares, to announce the arrival of the New Age Leoil. You can witness a future new civilization with its aquarium casino spaceship called Leoil and it is interesting to note that I show the 7 wonders of the world.
Some attempts to understand the future were made in the past without apparent relevance, because society has been underestimating areas such as numerology and chance. Despite this, I took the liberty to use them without prejudice and when I understood about their potential I found a totally new world; full of unexplored patterns that until now were only part of science fiction. This knowledge has given me the power that I want to share with you today: A celestial book that can only be developed every 1000 years in generations that are at the turn of the millennium
This phenomenal work has a special symbolism made with imaginative and brilliant language, full of a certain character of advertising, numerology and astrology. In this book it is emphasized that the internet is the prophetic medium to visualize what is to come. It can be observed that I have discovered with my images and prophecies how the Second Millennium technology will be for the future history of humanity. [mehr]
