LEOPOLD VON SACHER-MASOCH

At the very beginning of the twentieth century, retired General Robert Baden-Powell, the hero of the siege of Mafeking, coalesced his ideas for an organization to train young British boys in scouting for the British Empire. Not a very organized thinker, Baden-Powell borrowed heavily from all sorts of unrelated resources - newspaper articles, military dispatches, fiction, and much more - and produced this, his first book on scouting. Originally published as six separate books, this book brings all of them together.  Now, as might be expected from its roots, this book reflects a lot of the biases and ways of thinking from Edwardian England. But, leaving that aside, this is a fun and interesting book that shows clearly the forms that have stayed with the Boy Scouts movement to this very day.  Now, as a newcomer to Scouting will you find anything useful in this book? You sure will. Robert Baden-Powell was very knowledgeable about the subject, and this book sure shows it. (Youve never thought of tying your shoes like that!) Of course some of the information is out of date, especially the first-aid information, so it isnt really usable by the boys as is. But, this is a nice resource, one that shows you where Scouting started.  You will actually enjoy the somewhat jumbled organization of this book. It isnt as scholarly and antiseptic as modern Boy Scout books, and the stories and tales laced throughout make the reading much more fun. Plus, you will find the focus on some subjects, such as logic and deductive reasoning, to be quite interesting.  You will love this book, its highly recommended!

ROBERT W. CHAMBERS

As well as being a great historian Plutarch was a philosopher who used the examples of good and infamous men alike to reinforce his conception of morality and what the best in a man can truly be.   Unlike other classical historians, he doesnt just accept stories about individuals at face value but always mentions conflicting facts in the historical record. He often digresses in mid narrative, but never to the readers frustration, as it is always with an eye to the social practices and political environment of the people of whom he writes, analyzing deeply with an anecdote here or an quotation there the merits and demerits of that society, and leaving us with a clearer picture of the classical mind-set as well as we might know it.   I can only say that as a classic of English prose style it ranks only second to Gibbon and reminds us that Plutarch means not just to educate, but to delight and entertain as well; such an achievement is not easily matched without the advantage of genius.
