Das Buch "Der Fürst" (italienisch Il Principe) wurde, um 1513 von Niccolò Machiavelli verfasst, postum 1532 publiziert. Es gilt neben den Discorsi als sein Hauptwerk.

Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung (1819) ist das Hauptwerk des deutschen Philosophen Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860).

Das sechsbändige, in Form von Hexametern verfasste Lehrgedicht gibt die Naturphilosophie Epikurs wieder. Lukrez wollte damit eine Philosophie vermitteln, die dem Menschen Gemütsruhe und Gelassenheit gibt und ihm die Furcht vor dem Tode und den Göttern nimmt, die aus der Unkenntnis des Menschen über seine Stellung in der Welt, über die Natur und das Wesen entspringt und folglich durch Aufklärung überwunden werden muss. Es ist geprägt von der materialistischen Atomlehre der griechischen Antike und geht davon aus, dass die Götter weder in der Lage noch willens sind, sich in das Leben der Menschen einzumischen.

Few states of the United States have a more varied, a more interesting or a more instructive history than California, and few have done so little to preserve their history. In narrating the story of California, the author has endeavored to deal justly with the different eras and episodes of its history; to state facts; to tell the truth without favoritism or prejudice; to give credit where credit is due and censure where it is deserved. This accounts also for the prominence of Los Angeles in the second half of this volume. The consolidation of Los Angeles city and the cities of Wilmington, San Pedro and Hollywood has merged the history of these three into that of the Greater Los Angeles. The early history of these cities is given separately up to their consolidation. All over this book is a real treasure chest and every single of its more than 400 pages is a must-read for the people of California and Los Angeles County.

The history of the city of Washington, it is believed, could in no way be more effectively supplied than by telling the story, so far as possible, in the words of the participants. From the documents and records in the Government archives it is possible to give an almost complete story of the establishment of the city of Washington in the actual language of the men who achieved it; and believing that in the words of Washington, Jefferson, L'Enfant, Carroll, Johnson, Stuart, Thornton, Scott and White, this story could be told with more intense interest than in any words of his own, the compiler endeavored, in giving this portion of the city's history, to utilize to the fullest possible extent such of their writings relating to the subject, as are still preserved.

Place names in the United States are often taken from the European nation that first colonized the land. Many names that have been transferred from Britain, as is the case with Barnstable, Massachusetts and Danbury, Connecticut. Many others are of French origin, such as Detroit, Michigan, which was established along the banks of the river they called le détroit du lac Érié, meaning the strait of Lake Erie. Many in the former New Netherland colony are of Dutch origin, such as Harlem, Brooklyn and Rhode Island. Many place names are taken from the languages of native peoples. Specific (personal or animal) names and general words or phrases are used, sometimes translated and sometimes not. However complicated the tracing back of the place names was, this encyclopedia lists thousands and thousands of place names in the United States of America and provides valuable information as to the origin and the history of the name. A fantastic reference work for everyone interested in American history.

A glorious story, which cannot be too warmly recommended to all who love a tale that stirs the blood. Perhaps not the least among its many good qualities is the fact that its chivalry is of the nineteenth, not of the sixteenth century; that it is a tale of brave men and true, and of a fair woman of to-day. The Englishman who saves the king ... is as interesting a knight as was Bayard.... The story holds the reader's attention from first to last.

"Through the Looking-Glass", and What Alice Found There is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The themes and settings of Through the Looking-Glass make it a kind of mirror image of Wonderland: the first book begins outdoors, in the warm month of May, the second opens indoors on a snowy, wintry night exactly six months later, on 4 November. In it, there are many mirror themes, including opposites, time running backwards, and so on.

"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is a tale in which the subordinate actors are quite as excellent in their way as the leading character. They are differentiated from each other by a variation in their personalities, rather than by an inequality in their ability to entertain.
