Excerpt from Genealogy of the De Veaux Family: Introducing the Numerous Forms of Spelling the Name, by Various Branches and Generations in the Past Eleven Hundred YearsSome fifty years ago the author's attention became much interested while glancing over some of our early records, in which he found a great deal of remarkable and curious information pertaining to the past, especially that relating to the City of New York. This led to the examination of old newspapers, books, documents of various kinds, as well as traditionary accounts, all of which were most acceptable food for the mind of the hungry gatherer; but he must here admit that they were not satisfying, or only for the moment, as the want still continued for this species of ancient lore.Among these gatherings the family name and position appeared rather attractive, and, of course, received considerable attention, but with no other thought at the time than the author's gratification. However, some few years ago, certain inquiries were made in relation to the de Veaux family, which rather stimulated the author to draw together all which related to the subject then in his possession. The quantity rather surprised him, but the quality was found so mixed, and the name so variously spelled, that it appeared rather formidable to attempt its compilation; but he believing it would be a record of interest to the descendants of the family generally, this, with a hope of assistance from some of the various branches connected, induced him with the attempt to place it into book form.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Geneology of Modernism is a study of literary transition in the first two decades of the twentieth-century, a period of extraordinary ferment and great accomplishment, during which the avant-garde gradually consolidated a secure place within English culture. Michael Levenson analyses that complex process by following the successive phases of a literary movement - Impressionist, Imagist, Vorticist, Classicist - as it attempted to formulate the principles on which a new aesthetic might be founded. The emphasis here falls on the ideology of modernism, but throughout the book the ideological question is tied on the one hand to specific literary works and on the other to general movements in philosophy and the fine arts. The major figures under discussion, Joseph Conrad, Ford Madox Ford, Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, and T. S. Elliot, are placed in relation to thinkers who have been largely neglected in the history of modernism: Max Stirner, Wilhelm Worringer, Pierre Lasserre, Allen Upward, and Hilaire Belloc. Levenson thus situates the emergence of a modernist aesthetic within the context of literary theory, literary practice, and cultural history.

Book by Milton Rubincam (introduction)

The great philosopher's major work on ethics, along with Ecce Homo, Nietzche's remarkable review of his life and works. On the Genealogy of Morals (1887) shows him using philsophy, psychology, and classical philology in an effort to give new direction to an ancient discipline.The work consists of three essays.  The first contrasts master morality and slave morality and indicates how the term "good" has widely different meanings in each.  The second inquiry deals with guilt and the bad conscience; the third with ascetic ideals—not only in religion but also in the academy.     Ecce Homo, written in 1898 and first published posthumously in 1908, is Nietzsche's review of his life and works.  It contains chapters on all the books he himself published. His interpretations are as fascinating as they are invaluable.  Nothing Nietzsche wrote is more stunning stylistically or as a human document.    Walter Kaufmann's masterful translations are faithfu ot the word and spirit of Nietzsche, and his running footnote commentaries on both books are more comprehensive than those in his other Nietzsche translations because these tow works have been so widely misunderstood.

"A Genealogy of Modern Architecture" is a reference work on modern architecture by Kenneth Frampton, one of today’s leading architectural theorists. Conceived as a genealogy of twentieth century architecture from 1924 to 2000, it compiles some sixteen comparative analyses of canonical modern buildings ranging from exhibition pavilions and private houses to office buildings and various kinds of public institutions. The buildings are compared in terms of their hierarchical spatial order, circulation structure and referential details. The analyses are organized so as to show what is similar and different between two paired types, thus revealing how modern tradition has been diversely inflected. Richly illustrated, "A Genealogy of Modern Architecture" is a new standard work in architectural education.

Despite its widely acknowledged importance in and beyond the thought of the Romantic period, the distinctive concept of the symbol articulated by such writers as Goethe and F. W. J. Schelling in Germany and S. T. Coleridge in England has defied adequate historical explanation. In contrast to previous scholarship, Nicholas Halmi's study provides such an explanation by relating the content of Romantic symbolist theory - often criticized as irrationalist - to the cultural needs of its time. Because its genealogical method eschews a single disciplinary perspective, this study is able to examine the Romantic concept of the symbol in a broader intellectual context than previous scholarship, a context ranging chronologically from classical antiquity to the present and encompassing literary criticism and theory, aesthetics, semiotics, theology, metaphysics, natural philosophy, astronomy, poetry, and the origins of landscape painting. The concept is thus revealed to be a specifically modern response to modern discontents, neither reverting to pre-modern modes of thought nor secularizing Christian theology, but countering Enlightenment dualisms with means bequeathed by the Enlightenment itself. This book seeks, in short, to do for the Romantic symbol what Percy Bysshe Shelley called on poets to do for the world: to lift from it its veil of familiarity.

Excerpt from Genealogy of the Lyman Family, in Great Britain and America: The Ancestors and Descendants of Richard Lyman, From High Ongar in England, 1631Long after we of the present, like former generations, shall have passed through life to our silent graves, some few may rise up, age after age, to bless the hearts and hands that formed and executed the purpose to collect the per ishable materials, just passing into irrecoverable oblivion, of which the work of the genealogist is composed. The future historian may gather thence some shreds for the web he may then be weaving, and the historical painter may catch some lingering lineaments of the stern old Puritans for his group, on the canvas of other days, of those represen tative men who have left the grand, effaceless imprint of their character on succeeding generations. Whatever may be the result, the consciousness remains of having labored long and faithfully to perpetuate the memory of the worthy ancestry of a great, far-spreadin g family who have achieved an honorable position among many other families descended from Puritan ancestors in New England. Reposing in this quiet consciousness this work is commended to the attention of all of this family who would learn something of their ancestral history or cherish the memory of their honored ancestors.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
