This book traces the origins of a faith--perhaps the faith of the century. Modern revolutionaries are believers, no less committed and intense than were Christians or Muslims of an earlier era. What is new is the belief that a perfect secular order will emerge from forcible overthrow of traditional authority. This inherently implausible idea energized Europe in the nineteenth century, and became the most pronounced ideological export of the West to the rest of the world in the twentieth century. Billington is interested in revolutionaries--the innovative creators of a new tradition. His historical frame extends from the waning of the French Revolution in the late eighteenth century to the beginnings of the Russian Revolution in the early twentieth century. The theater was Europe of the industrial era; the main stage was the journalistic offices within great cities such as Paris, Berlin, London, and St. Petersburg. Billington claims with considerable evidence that revolutionary ideologies were shaped as much by the occultism and proto-romanticism of Germany as the critical rationalism of the French Enlightenment. The conversion of social theory to political practice was essentially the work of three Russian revolutions: in 1905, March 1917, and November 1917. Events in the outer rim of the European world brought discussions about revolution out of the school rooms and press rooms of Paris and Berlin into the halls of power.

5Our American Cousin (Dramatic Reading)

By Tom Taylor

Our American Cousin is an 1858 three-act play by English playwright Tom Taylor. The play is a farce whose plot is based on the introduction of an awkward, boorish, but honest American, Asa Trenchard, to his aristocratic English relatives when he goes to England to claim the family estate. . . . Although the play achieved great renown during its first few years and remained very popular throughout the second half of the 19th century, it is best remembered as the play U.S. President Abraham Lincoln was attending in Ford's Theatre when he was assassinated by actor and Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865. - Summary by Wikipedia<br> <br> <b>Cast</b><br> Narrator: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8164">KHand</a><br> Asa Trenchard: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/9647">Joseph Tabler</a><br> Florence Trenchard: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6281">Beth Thomas</a><br> Lord Dundreary: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8164">Rob Board</a><br> Sir Edward Trenchard: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/9929">Zames Curran</a><br> Mr. Coyle: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8799">Peter Tucker</a><br> Mary Meredith: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6548">Kristin Gjerløw</a><br> Mr. Binny: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6754">ToddHW</a><br> Abel Murcott: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10123">Scott Bennett</a><br> Mrs. Mountchessington: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/3816">Bev J Stevens</a><br> Georgina Mountchessington: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/7026">Michele Eaton</a><br> Augusta Mountchessington: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8051">Maria Kasper</a><br> Mr. Buddicombe: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10193">Howard Watts</a><br> Harry Vernon: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10143">TenorBoy</a><br> John Wickens: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/10463">VfkaBT</a><br> Captain De Boots: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6065">David Olson</a><br> Sharpe: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/9001">Mary Kay</a><br> Skillet: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/9508">Jessie Yun</a><br> <b>Edited by: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8164">Rob Board</a></b><br> <br>Proof-listened by <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/9508">Jessie Yun</a> and <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/6281">Beth Thomas</a>.<br> Project coordinated by <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8425">Larry Wilson</a> and <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/8164">Rob Board</a>.

Written by a Church of England clergyman in the time of Cromwell, this work is praised for both its style and content. Taylor's work was much admired by John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, for its devotional quality; and by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Thomas de Quincey, and Edmund Gosse for its literary qualities.<br /><br /><i>Holy Dying</i> is meant to instruct the reader in the "means and instruments" of preparing for a blessed death, written in a time when death was a constant companion to life and not to be encountered without being ready for it. It assumes illness and a death-bed, with recommended meditations and prayers for the sick, the family, and the clergyman attending to the dying one. (Summary by TriciaG, with help from Wikipedia)

Jefferys Taylor was born in 1792 in Suffolk, England. He became apprenticed to his father who was an engraver and invented a special ruling machine for engravers but went on to emulate his mother who was a children's writer. His books include favourites like Harry's Holliday or the Doings of One Who had Nothing to Do and The Little Historians. <br><br>This book "Aesop in Rhyme" published in 1820, contains 58 of Aesop's Fables which he has retold in verse as well as 13 original fables of his own. Each is illustrated with an engraving which though uncredited he probably drew himself. He died in 1853. (Summary by Noel Badrian)

This early 19th-century children's poetry collection by Jane and Ann Taylor is little-known today, but contains the original version of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, known then as just The Star.

18On the Red Staircase

By Mary Imlay Taylor

"“The Czarevitch Ivan is said to be indifferent to the high office,” I replied, in a low tone; “he is blind.” “Ay, and deformed!” said the Russian, promptly. “Yet will the people of Russia demand the recognition of primogeniture. Court intrigues cannot prevail. What a flimsy pretext was this election! The States-General of Russia elected Michael Romanof; the Czar Shuisky fell because he was elected by Moscow alone; and this is not the Moscovite State, but the rabble of the city, and the retainers of the boyars! The Miloslavskys are down to-day, but who dares to predict for to-morrow?”" A fictional account of the turmoil following the death of Czar Alexis, when Russians were forced to choose between the traditional rule of primogeniture, in the form of the deficient Ivan, and his more suitable but younger half-brother, Peter. - Summary by LynneT

20Eyes and No Eyes and Other Stories

By John Aikin, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Jane Marcet and Jane Taylor

Whatever will stimulate the observing tendencies of the young cannot but be of value to them. "Eyes and No Eyes" does this in a delightful way. The story is so natural that the child is wrapped up in it, and so it makes a deep impress upon him. Much less could be accomplished by simply telling him to observe, or lecturing upon the value of keeping one's eyes open. But when the reader sees how much more William gets out of his walk than Robert, and what marvellous things exist everywhere if one is on the lookout for them, he is himself incited to examine with greater care the many more or less ordinary things he has neglected heretofore. William and Robert become very real individuals to the child, and there is no doubt which of them he will choose to emulate. The author relies upon the force of concrete example to determine the conduct of children, and this is certainly sound in theory and endorsed by experience. Two of the stories are written by a brother-sister team of John Aikin and Jane Barbauld and are from their multi-volume work on "The Art of Seeing". Jane Marcet has also written many scientific books. Best well known, however, is the author Jane Taylor who wrote the lyrics to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"

Borden of Yale '09 is the inspiring biography of William Borden, a young American millionaire. During a trip around the world, Borden committed to become a missionary after seeing the need to share the gospel. While preparing at Yale and Princeton and while studying Arabic in Egypt, he impacted all those around him and used his money for various ministries. William Borden's life serves as an example of the difference one person can make in even a short life surrendered to God. - Summary by Aletheia Charis

The first of two volumes telling the life story of Pastor Hsi, a Confucian scholar from Shanxi province in Northern China who became a Christian in the 1870s. Pastor Hsi grew up in a China now long gone, when the scholarly class to which he belonged held a leading place in society. He lived through tumultuous times of change in China, when the opium that enriched the pockets of Western countries brought widespread addiction and poverty while a multi-year drought brought famine, decimating the already weakened population. Into this scene of tragedy, two western men stepped, bringing with them food to help the poor and starving, seeds for planting when the rains returned, and news that The Supreme Ruler was not hidden behind the gates of the Temple of Heaven, reachable only by the Emperor once a year, but instead was reaching out to the people in love, seeking to reconcile them with Himself. Hsi's life had been one of searching. While trained as a Confucian, he found himself unable to reach the high ideals espoused by its maxims and regulations. He explored Taoism and Buddhism but found them filled with idols and superstitions which trapped the common people in darkness and uncertainty. Hsi knew his heart and bore his failings with inner shame, even while people honored him as a scholarly disciple of Confucius. Was there a power anywhere that could change Hsi from within? (Summary by MaryAnn)
