The Gate to Caesar is a textbook that introduces the intermediate Latin student to the works of one of the greatest historical figures in history. Caesar was a ruler, leader, general, diplomat, historian and writer. Caesar knew how to write his own language well; but he wrote for men, he wrote with compression and in haste, and there are passages in his works that are tough reading for a good Latin scholar. This book contains excerpts from his history of the Gallic Wars. Divided into two parts, the book first presents simplified versions of the text before presenting them as actually written by Caesar. Also included are extensive commentaries, vocabularies, exercises and etymological notes

The Monk is the story of the once revered and pious monk Ambrosio, whose temptations are tested with the arrival of a new novice. His internal battle leads to sexual obsession, rape and murder in a Capuchin monastery that holds many dark secrets. Written by Matthew Lewis when he was only nineteen, The Monk was a ground-breaking novel in the Gothic horror genre; that to this day, shocks readers with its mixture of bloodshed, sex, and scandal.

This little book aims only at being a very brief and elementary introduction to the Science of Conduct. It has no claim to originality, and is substantially a compilation from those recognised authorities on the subject whose views it reports, and with whose works I hope that it may lead the reader to make acquaintance at first hand.A short Ethical Vocabulary is compiled and a collection of Questions, many of which are taken from published Examination Papers of the University of Cambridge; and have appended the Schedule and list of books recommended for Ethics in the Moral Sciences Tripos.
