""Slavery Inconsistent With Justice And Good Policy: Proved By A Speech Delivered In The Convention Held At Danville, Kentucky"" is a book written by David Rice in 1793. The book is a speech that was delivered by Rice during a convention held in Danville, Kentucky. The speech argues that slavery is inconsistent with justice and good policy. Rice uses moral and ethical arguments to support his claim that slavery is wrong and should be abolished. He also argues that slavery is economically unsound and that it harms both the slave and the slave owner. The book is a historical document that provides insight into the debate over slavery in the early years of the United States. It is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of slavery and the fight for abolition in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The Half-Elven Series presents the struggles of Muren Starwatcher and his half-elven daughter, Kirsten, who are both aided by true friends and hindered by prophecy. Muren fumbles with the pressures of living up to impossible expectations while still trying to pursue who and what he loves most. Kirsten Starwatcher matures from an uncertain girl plagued with guilt to a reluctant hero who finds her own path towards redemption. In Dawncaller, the Drakes of Second Dawn are awake, the Lifebane are moving against Longwood, the Dwarves are on the march to reclaim their lost holdfasts, and the Elves are pressed to save Longwood from desecration. Pursuing the maddest plan of all, the Gnomes of Halnn have engineered a machine to capture and tame a Drake. In the midst of these larger conflicts, Kirsten has discovered the mythic sword Fahde, once used to end the chaos of First Dawning, and must now travel to the edges of the world to learn how to wield its power. She has a father to cure, a mother to save, and a realm to preserve. Her journey will drive her from Longwood to the Salt Isles, from Graniteside to the sweeping sands of the Topaz Sea, and even to the crystal gates of Xlaesin itself.

"The stars are cold and blind 'til we warm them with our need and sing of what they see." From The Song of the Starwatchers In a land ravaged by plague, the new King hopes a volatile mix of faith, superstition, and trade might save his realm. Muren, the stubborn and impulsive son of the King's Starwatcher, turns to the reticent elves of Longwood for answers. Through the discovery and loss of everything he loves, Muren finds himself the reluctant father of a forbidden child, and the centre of a conflict that threatens to decimate a world he is ill equipped to save. What makes a hero? Muren may want to be one. His daughter, Kirsten, may have to be one. The world will certainly need them both.

Introductory notes place the selections in their context in Greek history and provide basic bibliography. The volume includes a glossary of technical terms, a general index, and an index of ancient sources cited. Beyond the correction of minor errors and use of footnotes rather than endnotes, the reader will find that the present volume remains true to the original.
