Excerpt from Swampscott: Historical Sketches of the TownAnd our men of the sea have done more than increase their country's wealth. None have been more forward than they to maintain in battle her life and honor. In old colonial times we had our repre sentatives at the siege of Louisburg. Swampscott fired one of those shots heard round the world at Lex ington. Then, in 1812, our ﬂeet helped man the ves sels which disputed successfully with the mistress of the seas, and brought home many a British trophy. Next to our brave men, we are proud of our old can non, bearing the royal arms, which was captured bv the ship Grand Turk, and awarded to Swampscott. After commanding our harbor for many years from vvinnipesikett Hill, it now rests in its appropriate place in l\fonument Square, at the foot of the shaft which commemorates the brave men who in the War of the Rebellion, on sea and land, emulated the deeds of yore.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Paradox Games is informed by a number of Philosophical Schools: In the title itself we have a nod to the linguistic insight of Wittgenstein, while the sometimes aphoristic style and the overwhelmingly joyful tone calls to mind Nietzsche in his most optimistic 'yea-saying' mode. Importantly, Waldo is not simply applying the existing epistemic framework of another philosopher to a new area of experience. Instead Paradox Games extends its Odian methodology to the way in which philosophical conceptions are deployed. Semiotics, Husserlian Phenomenology and Pure Mathematics are all used, not out of slavish devotion to any given school of thought but because they are useful. In conclusion, this is a book that no serious seeker should be without. It is a glorious read that takes you on an intellectual spiral dance that at times makes the mind positively dizzy. More than that, it is a manual for the Work that we all wish to accomplish, no matter what our Tradition. Deceptively simple, light hearted yet deeply philosophical, a spiraling journey into the Mystery, this truly is a game that you cannot help but play!
