Purpose
Purpose What is the purpose of OriginalSources.com? For
whom is this library intended?
The use of primary sources
exposes students to important historical concepts. First, students become aware
that all written history reflects an author’s interpretation of past events.
Therefore, as students read a historical account, they can recognize its
subjective nature. Second, through primary sources the students directly touch
the lives of people in the past. Further, as students use primary sources, they
develop important analytical skills. From Teaching with Documents, Volume 1.
National Archives and Records Administration and National Council for the
Social Studies, 1989 (Part of OriginalSources.com: United States History/
Learning Aids) Scope and arrangement OriginalSources.comis organized so
that the user can find information quickly and efficiently.
This ease of use is achieved through a search feature that enables users to
locate information in all text, an intuitive and easy-to-use browse feature,
and a carefully designed document screen. Thus, OriginalSources.com provides the user with both an extensive
database of original books and source documents, and a quick way of navigating
to information relevant to the user’s needs. A. Expert choice of content OriginalSources.com focuses on the accomplishments of the greatest
minds throughout history. The content was selected as leading examples of original thought or
original source documents in each of the collection areas. The selection, made by
the staff of Western Standard Publishing Company, used a wide variety of
reference and bibliographic sources. OriginalSources.com is in the spirit of such classic compilations as
Oliver Thatcher's Library of Original
Sources; Louis L. Snyder and Richard B. Morris's They Saw It Happen: Eyewitness Reports of Great Events; the
McGraw-Hill and Harvard University Press Source
Books in the History of the Sciences; Rossiter Johnson's Great Events as Told by Famous Historians,
and William Jennings Bryan's World's
Greatest Orations. In selecting content for OriginalSources.com,
editors consulted anthologies and bibliographies such as the W.W. Norton
anthologies, The Reader's Companion to
World Literature, McGraw-Hill's Encyclopedia
of Science and Technology, the Loeb
Classics, the Harvard Classics,
the Modern Library, the Library of America, and Great Books of the Western World.
General reference works, including almanacs, bibliographies, encyclopedias, and
biographical indices, were also consulted. In compiling OriginalSources.com, a balanced view was
sought by consulting collections by scholars of social history, women's
studies, and ethnic/minority studies. This is to offset a bias introduced by
editors of earlier generations of such compilations that emphasized political
and military histories. B. Content format All
text is presented in a common, easy-to-read format. Users can change the type
size through their browser to suit individual visual needs. Major books or
works are broken down into documents corresponding to chapters or sections, for
ease of reference and to provide quick downloading. Users can quickly move
section by section through such content whether reviewing or reading the whole
text. To the
left of each document is a citation panel that gives information on the work,
the document, the author and/or translator, and the year of first publication.
Additional information in the panel includes the source used for collecting the
work or stand-alone document for the OriginalSources.com library. Also, in the case of
some stand-alone documents, a summary of the document is given. C. Search An integrated search facility is available in every
part of OriginalSources.com. The
navigation bar offers a quick search facility for the whole collection
available to the user. A word or phrase can be searched in titles, authors,
dates, or full text, or in any combination of these elements. A full search function gives additional search
functionality, such as being able to narrow down a search to an individual
collection or collections. Six types of search can be performed: Having these words
in the title; written by this author; written on this date; containing all of
these words; containing any of these words; having these words in the title.
Further search options enable these types of search to be combined with the
operators ‘and’; ‘or’; and ‘but not’. D. Browse The browse function works on a knowledge-tree
structure, through which users can branch into individual collections, types of
content, sources or authors, documents or works, and chapters or sections. E. Copying and
printing Any of the text can be highlighted and copied using
the copy function in the browser, or the keyboard short cut for copying.
Quotations or extracts copied in this way can be pasted into a word processor
document. OriginalSources.com has a print facility available within each document.
Users can print out the document, which is headed by the work, document,
author, and other information shown in the citation panel to the left of the
document text. Selection and treatment of content A. Documents These are the basic units
into which text is divided. Many are actual legal and official documents such
as Magna Carta, or the Rights of Man and
Citizen. Others are individual speeches, essays, letters, short stories or
similar items which were originally published individually. Some documents are subdivisions of large
books or works. These may be chapters, sections, or ‘books’ within a volume.
Where a document has been reproduced from a printed book for OriginalSources.com, the start of each
page is noted in the text, so that references to the book pagination may be
made. Publication details of each document are listed at the head of the
document. B.
Original works These are writings or records of speeches by great
thinkers throughout the ages. They vary in nature from the Gettysburg address
to Tolstoy’s novel War and Peace. Collections
such as Literature and Language consist mainly of works that were originally
published as complete books. All are broken down into documents for ease of
reading and reference. C.
Illustrations OriginalSources.com includes more than
3,700 illustrations. Many are portraits of great thinkers and writers. Others
include contemporary depictions of major events, such as Admiral Nelson on
board the Victory at the Battle of
Trafalgar, and diagrams in a scientific work. OriginalSources.com contentEach of the eight collections in the OriginalSources.com library contains
original or primary source material organized according to the nature of the
content. The browse feature is structured as a knowledge tree, and enables
quick review of the organization of the material in the collections. Each section
below gives a brief overview of one of the collections, together with a brief
list of content highlights, and a few typical quotations. The main section of this collection contains primary source documents in the history of the world,
including eyewitness accounts, original and official documents, treaties, and
speeches. The documents are grouped into periods chosen to conform to the McREL

Revolution’; the Rights of Man and Citizen; Benjamin Franklin on ‘Those who

is therefore beyond question... That the water also has the same form can be
observed from the ships, in that the land which cannot be seen from the deck,
is visible from the mast-tree. And conversely if a light be placed at the
masthead it seems to those who remain on the shores gradually to sink and at
last still sinking to disappear. Nicolaus Copernicus, On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres, 1543. The narrative of the trip as

Selected quotations If a builder has built a house
for a man and has not made strong his work, and the house he built has fallen,
and he has caused the death of the owner of the house, that builder shall be
put to death. Code of Hammurabi.
For by art is created that great
LEVIATHAN called a COMMONWEALTH, or STATE (in Latin, CIVITAS), which is but an
artificial man, though of greater stature and strength than the natural, for
whose protection and defence it was intended; and in which the sovereignty is
an artificial soul... Thomas Hobbes: Leviathan ALL STATES, all powers, that
have held and hold rule over men have been and are either republics or
principalities... Such dominions thus acquired are either accustomed to live
under a prince, or to live in freedom; and are acquired either by the arms of
the prince himself, or of others, or else by fortune or by ability. Nicolo
Machiavelli: The Prince. Have you ever chanced to hear it
said "There is no better investment than taxes. Only see what a number of
families it maintains, and consider how it reacts on industry; it is an
inexhaustible stream, it is life itself. In order to combat this doctrine...” Frederic
Bastiat: That Which Is Seen, and That
Which Is Not Seen. By some minds, government is
conceived as strictly a practical art, giving rise to no questions but those of
means and an end. John Stuart Mill: Representative
Government. If taxes are laid upon us in any shape, without our having a legal representation where they are laid, are we not reduced from the character of free subjects to the miserable state of tributary slaves? Samuel Adams: “the Boston instructions”. And so, my fellow Americans: ask
not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country. My
fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what
together we can do for the freedom of man. John F. Kennedy: Inaugural
address. D.

Selected quotations The beginning of archaeology may
be said to have been made with the decipherment of the Rosetta stone. This was
found at Rosetta in 1799. It contained three inscriptions, one in hieroglyphic,
one in demotic and the other in Greek. Oliver J. Thatcher: The Library of Original Sources. I confess
I am not charmed with an ideal of life held out by those who think that the
normal state of human beings is that of struggling to get on; that the
trampling, crushing, elbowing, and treading on each other's heels, which form
the existing type of social life, are the most desirable
lot of human kind, or anything but the disagreeable symptoms of one of the
phases of industrial progress. John Stuart Mill: Principles of Political Economy. The word Economy, or Oeconomy,
is derived from oikos, a house, and uomas, law, and meant originally only the
wise and legitimate government of the house for the common good of the whole
family. Jean-Jacques Rousseau: “A Discourse on Political Economy.” "It is especially to be
remarked how readily infantile and youthful reminiscences enter into our
dreams. What we have long ceased to think about, what has long since lost all
importance for us, is constantly recalled by the dream." A quote from
Volkelt in Sigmund Freud’s Interpretation
of Dreams. It is then an affection for the whole human race that makes my pen dart rapidly along to support what I believe to be the cause of virtue: and... leads me earnestly to wish to see woman placed in a station in which she would advance... the progress of those glorious principles that give a substance to morality... In a treatise, therefore, on female rights and manners, the works which have been particularly written for their improvement must not be overlooked; especially when it is asserted... that the minds of women are enfeebled by false refinement.... Mary Wollstonecraft: A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. E.

Selected quotations ...When
war was begun between the North and the South, every slave on our plantation
felt and knew that, though other issues were discussed, the primal one was that
of slavery... Booker T. Washington:
Up from Slavery. Then on a stately oak I cast
mine eye, Whose ruffling top the clouds
seem’d to aspire; How long since thou wast in
thine infancy? Anne Bradstreet:
“Contemplations”. "I pray thee, shepherd, if
that love, or gold, Can in this desert place buy
entertainment, Bring us where we may rest
ourselves and feed." William Shakespeare: As You Like It. The child who is decked with
prince’s robes and who has jewelled chains round his neck loses all pleasure in
his play; his dress hampers him at every step. Rabindranath Tagore: Gitanjali (Song Offerings). Master Pangloss taught the
metaphysico-theologo-cosmolonigology... "It is demonstrable," said
he, "that things cannot be otherwise than as they are; for as all things
have been created for some end, they must necessarily be created for the best
end. Observe, for instance, the nose is formed for spectacles, therefore we
wear spectacles...” Voltaire: Candide. F.
Science & Mathematics Important and epoch-making writing from dozens of
great scientists and mathematicians appears in this extensive and varied
collection. The five main sections, each of which is divided into numerous
subsections, are General Science, Life Science, Physical Science, Mathematics,
and Applied Science. The General Science section covers the history of
science in extensive collections such as A
Source Book in Greek Science, A
Source Book in Medieval Science, and Classics
of Modern Science, Copernicus to Pasteur. In addition, there are
descriptions of discoveries and theories by great scientists such as, Albert
Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, and William Thomson Kelvin on the absolute scale
of temperature, and Antoine Laurent Lavoisier on the permanence of matter and
the nature of combustion.. The philosophy of science is covered in major works
by Rene Descartes and Immanual Kant, with essays, papers, and fragments from
outstanding names such as Anaximander,
Anaxagoras, Roger Bacon, and
Pliny the Elder. Life Science includes an extensive subsection on
general life science, which covers history, philosophy, and major theories such
as germ theory with extracts from the writing and correspondence of Louis
Pasteur. The second subsection, Botany, includes a dissertation on the sexes of
plants by Carolus Linnaeus. Zoology, the next subsection, has a Source Book in
Animal Biology, and zoological writings by such scientists as Aristotle and
William Harvey. Physiology includes the thoughts of Charles Bell on nerves,
David Ferrier on location of brain function, Hippocrates, Edward Jenner on
immunization, and William Harvey. Other subsections of the Life Sciences
similarly full of great scientists’ writing include Genetics, Paleontology,
Ecology, Microbiology, and Ornithology. A final subsection, on Great Life
Scientists, gives biographical information on many of the contributors to this
section. Physical Science covers this important area in five
extensive subsections. Astronomy (Space Science) ranges from the first
heliocentric theory of Aristarchus of Samos and the condemnation of Galileo
Galilei through source books on astronomy from 1900 to 1950, and from 1900 to
1975, to Norman Lockyer writing on the chemistry of the stars. Chemistry has
source books covering the history from 1400 to 1900, and from 1900 to 1950,
plus writings by more than 20 great chemists. Physics, too, has a source book
with 150 historical essays, plus many interesting and important papers by such
great scientists as Joseph Henry, Henri Poincare, Wilhelm Roentgen, and Thomas
Young. Two other similarly structured subsections also cover Geography,
Meteorology, Oceanography; and Geology. The Mathematics section covers General Mathematics,
Analysis, and Mathematical Logic. One extensive source book covers general
mathematics from 1200 to 1800, another covers classical analysis, and a third
covers mathematical logic from Frege to Godel. Individual papers and essays
cover the work of great thinkers such as Archimedes, Aristotle, Euclid, and
Pythagoras. Applied Science is an extensive section, divided into
Engineering and Medicine. Further subdivisions cover topics such as acoustical,
aerospace, and agricultural engineering, each with writings by people who made
breakthroughs in the field, such as the Wright brothers. Medicine has whole
works by Galen and Hippocrates, and important papers in anatomy and physiology 1.

Selected Quotations Anaximander said the sun was a
ring twenty-eight times the size of the earth... Further, he says that in the
beginning man was born from animals of a different species. Fragments of
Thought of Anaximander Dear Mr. Pasteur: "For the first time in the history of science, we are justified in cherishing confidently the hope that, as far as epidemic diseases are concerned, medicine will soon be delivered from empiricism, and placed on a real scientific basis...” John Tyndall, in a letter dated February 16, 1876. G. Philosophy & Religion Philosophy has three subsections providing grounding
in the development of philosophy; epistemology, including David Hume’s Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding;
and logic, including the great writing of Aristotle and Rene Descartes. The
fourth subsection is the heart of Philosophy, with the great works of no fewer
than 26 major philosophers. Religious studies, especially comparative religion,
have received an extra emphasis in recent times following the September 11,
2001 attack on the United States by terrorists claiming to act in the name of
Islam. Coverage in the Religion section starts with a general subsection on the
development of religion, including William James’ book The Varieties of Religious Experience. This is followed by writings
about, and the holy books of, great religions: classical mythology; Hinduism;
Buddhism; Confucianism; Taoism; Christianity; and Islam. Work on adding holy
books of other religions, including Judaism, is in hand for 2002 publication. 1.

Selected quotations Descartes (1596–1650) tried to
sweep away all uncertainties and start from one absolutely certain fact,
"Cogito, ergo sum," as he expressed it,—"I think, and in so
thinking I exist." The Beginnings
of Modern Philosophy from the
Library of Original Sources. Memory gives the souls a sort of
consecutiveness which is like reason, but which ought to be distinguished from
it. Leibniz: “Monadology”. ...there is a considerable
difference between the perceptions of the mind, when a man feels the pain of
excessive heat, or the pleasure of moderate warmth, and when he afterwards
recalls to his memory this sensation, or anticipates it by his imagination...
The most lively thought is still inferior to the dullest sensation. David
Hume: An Enquiry Concerning Human
Understanding. A man and an ox are both
’animal’... if a man should state in what sense each is an animal, the
statement in the one case would be identical with that in the other. Aristotle:
Categories. The higher criticism of the
Bible is only a study of the Bible from this existential point of view... Under
just what biographic conditions did the sacred writers bring forth their
various contributions to the holy volume? And what had they exactly in their
several individual minds? These are manifestly questions of historical fact...
of what use should such a volume, with its manner of coming into existence so
defined, be to us as a guide to life and a revelation? William James: The Varieties of Religious Experience. That (seed) became a golden egg,
in brilliancy equal to the sun; in that (egg) he himself was born as Brahman,
the progenitor of the whole world. Hinduism/The Laws of Manu. The Master said, "If the
people be led by laws, and uniformity sought to be given them by punishments,
they will try to avoid the punishment, but have no sense of shame. If they be
led by virtue, and uniformity sought to be given them by the rules of
propriety, they will have the sense of shame, and moreover will become
good." Confucius: Confucian
Analects. Thou awakest us to delight in
Thy praise; for Thou madest us for Thyself, and our heart is restless, until it
repose in Thee. Grant me, Lord, to know and understand which is first, to call
on Thee or to praise Thee? The Confessions of Saint Augustine. Psalms|1:1 Blessed is the man
that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of
sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Psalms|1:2 But his delight is in
the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. The Bible. Praise belongs to God, the Lord
of the worlds, the merciful, the compassionate, the ruler of the day of
judgment! Thee we serve and Thee we ask for aid. Guide us in the right path,
the path of those Thou art gracious to; not of those Thou art wroth with; nor
of those who err. The Quran H. Language A useful resource to support language skills
development and foreign language learning, this collection has two main sections, Language

Sources, 1907. Sevilla es la Sephela fundada por los Fenicios, la Julia Rómula de los romanos y la Ixbilyah de los árabes. La ciudad está situada cerca del Guadalquivir, y ha conservado como ninguna otra ciudad la apariencia oriental y el ambiente soñador y lánguido de los sarracenos.
