Sinossi

In "Lafayette in America in 1824 and 1825," Auguste Levasseur offers a meticulously detailed account of the grand tour of the Marquis de Lafayette through the United States, capturing the fervent admiration and gratitude that Americans felt for their Revolutionary War hero. Through a blend of narrative style and socio-political commentary, Levasseur chronicles Lafayette's interactions with prominent figures and ordinary citizens alike. The volumes not only document Lafayette's speeches and receptions but also reflect the prevailing sentiments of national unity and nostalgia for the Revolution, framed within the literary context of early 19th-century Americana. Auguste Levasseur, a French diplomat and keen observer of social dynamics, possessed intimate knowledge of Lafayette'Äôs legacy and virtues, having served as his secretary during the visit. Levasseur's background in both his native France and the United States allows him to navigate complex cultural exchanges, providing readers with a dual perspective that is both personal and profoundly insightful. His close association with Lafayette imbues the text with authenticity and a sense of urgency, highlighting the importance of Lafayette's journey at a time of national introspection and growth. This work is highly recommended for scholars of American history, literary enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the enduring legacy of the French-American alliance. Levasseur's account not only enlightens readers on the historical significance of Lafayette's visit but also enriches our understanding of the formative years of the United States, making it an indispensable addition to any library.

    The American colonies in the mid-18th century were a thriving part of the British Empire, but tensions had been brewing for decades. What began as minor grievances over trade and governance escalated into a full-scale rebellion. British policies, aimed at tightening control over the colonies, ignited widespread dissatisfaction, planting the seeds of revolution. 
    One of the earliest sources of discontent was the British system of taxation. The Sugar Act of 1764 and the Stamp Act of 1765 imposed direct levies on the colonies, enraging merchants, publishers, and legal professionals. The colonists, who had no direct representation in the British Parliament, saw these taxes as a blatant overreach. Their rallying cry—“No taxation without representation”—became a defining slogan of the growing resistance. The Stamp Act’s repeal in 1766 provided temporary relief, but the British government soon followed with new policies, including the Townshend Acts, which further strained relations. 
    The presence of British troops in colonial cities only exacerbated tensions. Stationed to enforce British laws and maintain order, soldiers were often viewed as an occupying force. Clashes between civilians and the military became frequent, culminating in the infamous Boston Massacre of 1770, where British troops fired into a crowd of unarmed colonists, killing five. This event, heavily publicized by Patriot leaders, fueled anti-British sentiment and strengthened calls for defiance.

    Drawing on the source language in Hebrew and Greek, rather than the many translations & mistranslations, this work explains how the common interpretation of the Scriptures strayed far from what was intended. They explore how the original meaning of the Biblical texts was deliberately muddled by the Roman Emperor Constantine and the council of Nicaea of 325 AD. 
    George W. Carey (1845-1924) was an American occultist, homeopath, and writer, who combined religion, astrology, and chemistry to extrapolate what he believed was the true meaning of the life of Christ, the true nature of the human body, and the true nature of humanity.
