  This was the first speech given by the newly-elected President of the United States. In an already tense state, Lincoln made the address with the hopes that the discordant South would listen. While reinforcing that the Union would never break, he encouraged the south to lay down their arms while simultaneously warning that any act against the government would be considered “rebellion” and would be “met with force”. Given the night before the Civil War, Lincoln refuted the idea that the North and South were enemies and called for an end to the fighting.

  Students of the works of James Allen all over the world will welcome with joy another book from his able pen. In this work we find the Prophet of Meditation in one of his deepest and yet most lucid expositions. How wonderfully he deals with fundamental principles! Here the reader will find no vague statement of generalities, for the writer enters with tender reverence into every detail of human experience. It is as though he came back to The Shining Gateway, and, standing there, he reviewed all the way up which his own feet have traveled, passing over no temptation that is common to man; knowing that the obstacles that barred his ascending pathway, or the clouds that at times obscured his vision, are the common experiences of all those who have set their faces towards the heights of Blessed Vision. As we read his words now, he seems to stand and beckon to us, saying, "Come on, my fellow Pilgrims; it is straight ahead to the Shining Gateway; I have blazed the track for you." In sending forth this, another posthumous volume from his pen, we have no doubt but that it will help many and many an aspiring soul up to the heights, until at last they too stand within The Shining Gateway. - Summary by Editor, The Shining Gateway

  Better Late Than Early - A New...

  "Moore Brings a wealth of evidence from a wide variety of sources to indicate that early schooling, although promoting (perhaps) earlier cognitive organization, introduces a host of fateful “iatrogenic” disturbances. Our knowledge of maturation, development, developmental stages, and critical developmental periods for the human, all support Moore’s basic thesis... "Of what value is the educational process, if the very process, when prematurely introduced within the unfolding epigenetic field, distorts the developing psychic structure so as to interfere with future education, and learning to live and learning to love, let alone learning to learn. This is an important book for parents and for professionals. It warns, it offers alternatives, and it never loses sight of its main focus, the health, happiness and ‘fundamental education’ of our children." 
  “...the authors have made an extensive review of the literature available and have strongly come out on that basis as well as on the basis of their professional experience and research-on the side that “it is better late than early,” in terms of education... The book’s value is further enhanced by its very lucid exposition and by the fact that a multidisciplinary approach to the problem was taken, combining the knowledge and findings of the educator, the neurophysiologist, the developmental psychologist, the child psychiatrist, the sociologist, the parent, etc. 
  Personally, though I occasionally disagree with some of the views presented, I gladly acknowledge that I found myself, after reading it, enlightened and enriched in many ways. I suspect the same will be true for many of its readers.”

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  State-of-the-art voice generation technology, combined with careful human editing, has been employed in this production of "Discourse on the Arts and Sciences" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau in order to make this important text more widely accessible to modern audiences. Listeners are invited to explore the audio sample and judge the quality for themselves. 
  In "Discourse on the Arts and Sciences", Rousseau presents the provocative argument that the progress of the arts, sciences, and refinement in society has not led to moral improvement, but rather to corruption and decline in virtue. Contrary to the optimism of the Enlightenment, he suggests that as societies become more sophisticated, individuals grow increasingly concerned with appearances, status, and intellectual vanity, losing touch with authenticity, simplicity, and moral integrity. 
  This essay marks an early and foundational moment in Rousseau’s body of work, anticipating themes that would later be developed more fully in writings such as "Discourse on Inequality" and "The Social Contract". His critique of civilization and emphasis on natural human goodness would go on to influence political philosophy, education theory, and Romantic thought. 
  Today, Rousseau’s reflections remain strikingly relevant. In an age shaped by rapid technological advancement, social media, and the constant pursuit of recognition, his warning about the tension between progress and virtue continues to invite reflection. This work challenges listeners to consider whether modern achievements have truly made us better—and what might be lost in the process.
