1888. A study of Turgot. From the Introduction: A great deal has been written on Turgot; we have the history of his childhood, of his youth, and of his mature years; he has been described to us hiding, whilst yet a child, under the armchairs, in order to avoid, out of sheer timidity, the visits which his mother received; we have been told how, later on in his youth, he was wont to play at games of battledore and shuttlecock, dressed in his clerical cassock, with the handsome young girl known then as Minette, and who was afterwards to become Madame Helvetius. We still possess the speeches he delivered as Prior of the House of Sorbonne at the opening and at the closing of the Sorboniques of 1750. We know what reasons determined him to give up the Church, and how he filled offices in the magistracy, first as deputy-councillor to the solicitor-(procurer) general, then as councilor to the parliament, then as maitre des requetes. We have been asked to witness his first quarrel with the parliament, in 1754, on the day when he consented to become a member of a Royal Chamber, ordered to deliver justice in the place of the exiled parliament...The nineteenth century is Turgot's own, because it is the one during which his ideas have been applied, and where he has manifestly reigned over ideas and things.

This is an argument for Textualism and Originalism, a constitutional theory that has taken root with a majority on the high court now. It is important to understand where we have come from in order to know the republic itself, and the government we were all promised. A republic! If you can keep it. Herein is a paragraph-by-paragraph explanation of the entire constitution, which is the main law of the land. It discusses our guaranteed rights with the goal of a better understanding. The original language of the constitution in the scroll provides a clear visual separation, making it easy to distinguish the language from the explanation of each section. My greatest hope is that it will lead to a better understanding of the government we're supposed to have, as well as a little about the founders and what they were thinking. So many times, I find people who should be knowledgeable on the subject claiming things that aren't in the text or even an idea at the time. I hope this corrects the record. This is a strict interpretation based only on the founder's vision as argued during the constitutional convention as well as debate at the time of the passage of each amendment. So we're looking for the meaning when each amendment was passed.

A collection of love letters and illustrations penned in a Korean War bunker Long before he was a professional artist and cartoonist, Robert Larsen was serving his country. While studying art at Yale, he was called into action as a member of the National Guard during the Korean War and would ultimately lead a mortar platoon at the 38th parallel. While stationed there, he penned nearly one hundred and fifty letters to his beloved wife back home in the United States. In With Love, From the 38th Parallel, Robert's son Steven Larsen has compiled his father's wartime correspondence to relate not only a love story but also a unique perspective on life during the Korean War. Featuring Robert's accompanying drawings and dozens of photographs, the letters offer valuable insight on army life and the experience of combat, specifically what it was like living in a firing bunker on the front lines. A valuable contribution to American military history, With Love, From the 38th Parallel is the perfect read for any war buff or romantic.
