Excerpt from The Life of Henry Pelham, Fifth Duke of Newcastle: 1811-1864 These considerations, and the Duke's reputation as a statesman of high principle and untiring industry, and his having held a prominent position in the Cabinet during four Administrations, fully justify, it is thought, the publication of this biographical sketch, though, owing to the lack of material and to other causes, it is less complete than the author could wish. Letters, where the contrary is not stated by note or otherwise, are in almost every case copied direct from the originals. Most noteworthy among them are Lord Raglan's letters, written to the Duke from the Crimea. It would be hard in English literature to find letters possessing more interest, written, as they usually were, far into the night at the end of a day of unceasing toil and perhaps of absorbing anxiety, telling their tale of dearly-purchased victory, of peril or privation, or, alas! It may be, compelled to interrupt the thread in order to dispose of a misstatement or a calumny, but always, whatever the subject, in calm, concise language, and with penmanship without a correction or an erasure. There are too many of them to admit of more than a small proportion being inserted here, but too few to be published separately. Nor is there any hope of their finding a place in a published life of Lord Raglan. For he is believed to have.

The solar system has long been suspected of hiding secret mysterious relationships  and patterns.  From the earliest known times people have studied the motions of the planets.  Now, just when we thought there were no more surprises left, John Martineau introduces the solar system in a new way.

A most unusual guide to the solar system, A Little Book of Coincidence suggests that there may be fundamental relationships between space, time, and life that have not yet been fully understood. From the observations of Ptolemy and Kepler to the Harmony of the Spheres and the hidden structure of the solar system, John Martineau reveals the exquisite orbital patterns of the planets and the mathematical relationships that govern them. A table shows the relative measurements of each planet in eighteen categories, and three pages show the beautiful dance patterns of thirty six pairs of planets and moons.

The quadriviumâ€”the classical curriculumâ€”comprises the four liberal arts of number, geometry, music, and cosmology. It was studied from antiquity to the Renaissance as a way of glimpsing the nature of reality. Geometry is number in space; music is number in time; and comology expresses number in space and time. Number, music, and geometry are metaphysical truths: life across the universe investigates them; they foreshadow the physical sciences. 
 Quadrivium is the first volume to bring together these four subjects in many hundreds of years. Composed of six successful titles in the Wooden Books seriesâ€”Sacred Geometry, Sacred Number, Harmonograph, The Elements of Music, Platonic &amp; Archimedean Solids, and A Little Book of Coincidenceâ€”it makes ancient wisdom and its astonishing interconnectedness accessible to us today.
 Beautifully produced in six different colors of ink, Quadrivium will appeal to anyone interested in mathematics, music, astronomy, and how the universe works.
