181: Caesar And Naopoleon
... Napoleon read Caesar's Commentaries on the Gallic Wars and took note of the propaganda he used. Napoleon would also use favorable descriptions of battle to sell himself to the Directory and to the people. Letters were written that showed Napoleon as the victor even when he lost battles in Egypt. The factualness of these letters were never tested but proved to be a force in showing his strength and ability to lead an army against far bigger enemies (Marrin 99). Napoleon returned to find the Directory was a mess. He ...
182: John Muir's Trail in History
... publishing 300 articles and 10 major books composed of his travel journals. They recounted his travels, expounded his naturalist philosophy, and beckoned everyone to "climb the mountains and get their good tidings"(Muir, Life and Letters, 34).

... is a twenty-eight year old, unmarried man who has spent his last six years in preparation for his sea voyage. During the years, Walton isolated himself from friends and loved ones. He often writes letters to his sister describing things that happen to him along his way and express his feelings of loneliness. The effects of his separation from loved ones are seen clearly in his letters. Walton explains that he “desires the company of a man who could sympathise with me”(Shelley 4). When Walton rescues Victor Frankenstein, his hopes of a new friendship become reality. He writes to his sister ...

Washington was fascinated by Braddock's professional army and the important colonial leaders (Andrist 52). George had always thought that the English were superior in ...
185: The Clinton Sex Scandal
... media shares the same issues that the written or televised press have: censorship and morality. It does not seem logical for the media to feel they have the right to publish the President's personal letters, such as the ones from Kathleen Willey: Dear Mr. President – You have been on my mind so often this week – There are so very many people who believe in you and what you are trying ... do for our country – Take heart in knowing that your number one fan thanks you every day for your help in saving her wonderful state. With appreciation Kathleen yet cannot write "f****ing" in complete letters in the transcripts of the Monica Lewinski-Linda Tripp tapes: Lewinsky: Well, it doesn't have to be a f---ing conflict. Tripp: What do you mean? How? Tell me how? [What am I] supposed ...

... her to see Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, who recommended Anne Mansfield Sullivan as a teacher, a post she assumed on March 3, 1887.

Helen learned 30 words the first day and soon learned to sign the alphabet, write and eventually speak. Helen learned to read ... City is used to display them.

187: Illuminated Manuscripts Of The
... contains twenty-six full-page drawings. The first twelve miniatures come from the Calendar. The next fourteen paintings describe the life of Christ. In the actual text all the psalms are separated by fancy initial letters. Very often, in these initials you can find the scenes that describe the life of David. The most beautiful paintings in this manuscript are the full-page paintings from the calendar that replace the much smaller fancy first letters. This particular painting is the picture of the month of May. This drawing is very bright and shiny. In this painting a knight on horseback rides out to go hawking. The hawker is covered with ...
188: Niccolo Machiavelli
... work “Decennale Secondo” (Second Ten Years) which gives information about the Venice wars. Machiavelli went to France two times (1510-1511) for political purpose.

... people who would be offended” (Rowe 48). Although Rowe was denied the domain name “fuck.com,” another subscriber managed to register “f-u-c-k.com” because of the difference in three dashes through the letters of “fuck.” Apparently “InterNic.net” felt that this name would not be offensive and let them proceed with the registration. In my opinion I think their reasoning behind the acceptance is that most people will not try to type dashes between letters in a word. Although this might seem like it could be a one-time occurrence, it is not. Perhaps one of the other most “offensive” names to enter the Internet is “Penis.com.” This web ...
