Rev. John Mcneill's (the Scotch Spurgeon) Popular Sermons
So justly popular and well known in Europe and America is the Rev. John McNeill, that he is now called the "Scotch Spurgeon", a name which he certainly well deserves. Mr. Moody--in his plain way of speaking--says, "Mr. McNeill is the greatest preacher in the world".His great and prolonged work in Regent Square Church, London, has shown him to be a most devoted, truthful and earnest "Messenger of God" who declares the whole truth, and who so clearly sets forth the spiritual side of the scriptures, that--as in the days of Christ--the multitudes hear him gladly.His preaching is preeminently expository, in which every Scriptural verse and cluster of verses, seem like "great white cities", revealing to the wide world the encased treasures of an infinite Gospel.His visit to the World's Fair, Chicago, and his wonderful gospel work in connection with D. L. Moody and his helpers during the Fair, have endeared Dr. McNeill to a large constituency in America, who will doubtless gladly welcome this popular edition of his sermons. They are earnest and fearless presentations of gospel truth for the joy and salvaton of all.J. B. McClure.Chicago. Ill, March 1, 1896.
Mosquito Empires
This book explores the links among ecology, disease, and international politics in the context of the Greater Caribbean - the landscapes lying between Surinam and the Chesapeake - in the seventeenth through early twentieth centuries. Ecological changes made these landscapes especially suitable for the vector mosquitoes of yellow fever and malaria, and these diseases wrought systematic havoc among armies and would-be settlers. Because yellow fever confers immunity on survivors of the disease, and because malaria confers resistance, these diseases played partisan roles in the struggles for empire and revolution, attacking some populations more severely than others. In particular, yellow fever and malaria attacked newcomers to the region, which helped keep the Spanish Empire Spanish in the face of predatory rivals in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. In the late eighteenth and through the nineteenth century, these diseases helped revolutions to succeed by decimating forces sent out from Europe to prevent them.
History of Western Maryland
The preparation of "History of Western Maryland", one of the most voluminous works on the history of that party of the United States, imposed a vast responsibility and an immense amount of labor. In the compilation of this history no authority of importance has been overlooked. The author has carefully examined every source of information open to him, and has availed himself of every fact that could throw new light upon, or impart additional interest to, the subject under consideration. Besides consulting the most reliable records and authorities, over fifteen thousand communications were addressed to persons supposed to be in possession of facts or information calculated to add value to the...
The Great Acceleration
The Earth has entered a new age—the Anthropocene—in which humans are the most powerful influence on global ecology. Since the mid-twentieth century, the accelerating pace of energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and population growth has thrust the planet into a massive uncontrolled experiment. The Great Acceleration explains its causes and consequences, highlighting the role of energy systems, as well as trends in climate change, urbanization, and environmentalism. More than any other factor, human dependence on fossil fuels inaugurated the Anthropocene. Before 1700, people used little in the way of fossil fuels, but over the next two hundred years coal became the most important energy ...
