Reason, The Only Oracle of Man - Or A Compendius System of Natural Religion.    By Col. Ethan Allen.      Religious Philosophy.    Colonel Ethan Allen, the author of Oracles of Reason, was the son of Joseph Allen, a native of Coventry, Connecticut, a farmer in moderate circumstances. He afterwards resided in Litchfield, where Ethan was born in the year 1739. The family consisted of eight children, of whom our author was the eldest. But few incidents connected with his early life are known. We are apprised, however, that notwithstanding his education was very limited, his ambition to prove himself worthy of that attention which superior intellect ever commands, induced him diligently to explore every subject that came under his notice. A stranger to fear, his opinions were ever given without disguise or hesitation; and an enemy to oppression, he sought every opportunity to redress the wrongs of the oppressed.  At the breaking out of the Revolutionary War, he raised in Vermont, where he had resided, a company of volunteers, consisting of two hundred and thirty, with which he surprised the fortress of Ticonderoga, May 10, 1775, containing about forty men, and one hundred pieces of cannon. He was unfortunately taken prisoner in September following, in an attempt on Montreal, and sufferred a cruel imprisonment for several years. For an account of which, the reader is referred to his narrative, contained in a memoir of the author, by Mr. Hugh Moore, Plattsburg, 1834.

In Ethan Allen's New American Style, Vivia Chen and the design staff at Ethan Allen offer a much-needed alternative vision to the intimidating, otherworldly decorating gurus: a new American home that's completely accessible and affordable without sacrificing flair or personality. The core of this vision is something that's all too often missing from decorating advice: a practical, down-to-earth approach that recognizes your time and budget constraints, and that your desire for style shouldn't demand an all-or-nothing commitment of your resources. So Ethan Allen suggests a real-world approach to the real-life challenge of decorating your home: Be realistic. Determine your priorities, set a budget, establish a schedule. Recognize that your home will evolve over time, as you and your family will. Admit that every choice isn't necessarily the final one and so needn't be unduly labored over. Accept that you will not have achieved your ideal home by the time your in-laws arrive for dinner on Friday night. Whether that ideal home is a rustic seaside cottage, a rambling wood-frame Victorian, or a stark urban loft, Ethan Allen's New American Style will help you get there-not by dictating your choices, but by helping you realize your personal vision. Beginning with the foyer and examining every room of the house, from the living and dining rooms back to the kitchen, upstairs to the bedrooms, and on to the home office, the bathroom, and even to an outdoor room, this book tackles every space you might need to fill. At the same time, Ethan Allen's New American Style is a cross section of just that: new American style. Whether that style is bohemian eclectic, traditional colonial, or modern minimalism, it's represented here-and not as a set of impractical, rigid mandates, but as suggestions, building blocks onto which you'll add your own taste. With this sensible approach, you will end up with your dream home. And you'll avoid the innumerable nightmares, from financial to emotional, that can paralyze you. Most important, you'll have fun. And isn't that what decorating should be about?

Heritage Books

This two-volume collection of letters by and to Ethan, Ira, and Levi Allen and their kin not only relates the accomplishments and eccentricities of a family whose name is synonymous with colonial Vermont, but also recaptures a fifty-year span of social, political, and cultural history as seen firsthand from New England's backwaters. Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys are remembered as great patriots, but the correspondence shows another side of a family whose major goal was increasing its own prosperity by acquiring land in the fledgling territory. Meticulously annotated and accompanied by thorough and lively introductory essays, the letters illuminate the power and paradoxes surrounding a remarkable group of men and women who were, the editors write, possessed of "expansive energy, ambition, skill, and wide interests; they also, of course, convey such common human flaws as greed, consuming single-mindedness, and deceit."

Ethan Allen's "A Narrative of Colonel Ethan Allen's Captivity"(1795) is an autobiographical work by the eighteenth-century folk hero, philosopher and patriot. In it, Allen describes his brief military career in the Revolution, his horrific two-year captivity by the British and his final release and journey back to his beloved Vermont. He provides a ground level view of the war, of captivity, of the meaning and purpose of the American Revolution. In the Copley Edition, an introduction and notes are provided that contextualize and inform student reading of the text. The Copley Edition includes a number of "Links" to other works and to ideas that demand more elaboration than a simple footnote might allow. The black-bordered pages are insertions by the editor into the text designed to help the student see the ways in which Allen's text is connected to the world around him.
