Bible (ASV) NT 16: 2 Timothy by AMERICAN STANDARD VERSION ( - ) Genre(s): Bibles Read by: Sam Stinson in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 01 - Chapter 1 00:02:53 - 02 - Chapter 2 00:06:28 - 03 - Chapter 3 00:09:00 - 04 - Chapter 4 The Second Epistle to Timothy is one of the three Pastoral Epistles, written by Paul, and is part of the canonical New Testament. It may have been written sometime in 67 A.D. during Paul's second Roman imprisonment. In his letter, the writer urges Timothy to not have a 'spirit of timidity' and to 'not be ashamed to testify about our Lord' (1:7-8). The writer also entreats Timothy to come to him before winter, and to bring Mark with him (cf. Philippians 2:22). He was anticipating that 'the time of his departure was at hand' (4:6), and he exhorts his 'son Timothy' to all diligence and steadfastness in the face of false teachings, with advice about combatting them with reference to the teachings of the past, and to patience under persecution (1:6-15), and to a faithful discharge of all the duties of his office (4:1-5), with all the solemnity of one who was about to appear before the Judge of the quick and the dead.

William Warburton writes that 'the backbone of the story of his reign and times is the great Continental war...He was a genuine Englishman in his rough and ready, and often incoherent policy; in his contempt for foreigners and his audacious confidence in himself and his countrymen; in his love of manly exertion; his personal pride and popular sympathies, and his freedom from lasting enmity and vindictiveness...It is in vain for cold reason to contend against the spell of the names of Creci and Poitiers; they will forever stir the English heart like the blast of a trumpet or the rustle of a consecrated banner; but these battles are not, after all, the true titles of the age to honour. Searching deeper down we shall find, and thankfully admit, that the century was one not of conquest, but of transition, development, emancipation, and characterised by a silent and gradual contraction of the area of privilege, and a corresponding enlargement of the area of liberty.'

The Village and The Library by George CRABBE (1754 - 1832) Genre(s): Poetry Read by: David Wales in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 01 - The Village, Book 1 00:22:40 - 02 - The Village, Book 2 00:36:39 - 03 - The Library, Part 1 01:04:10 - 04 - The Library, Part 2 The Village is Crabbe's corrective to the rosy-tinted view of English village and rural working class life. He was a stark realist, as a priest and surgeon having been privy to so much of actual, rather than ideal, life. The Library is his appreciation of the value of books and literature. George Crabbe (1754 - 1832) was an English poet, surgeon, and clergyman. He is best known for his early use of the realistic narrative form and his descriptions of middle and working-class life and people. Lord Byron described him as 'nature's sternest painter, yet the best.' Crabbe's poetry was predominantly in the form of heroic couplets, and has been described as unsentimental in its depiction of provincial life and society. Though his poetry has fallen out of favor, he was greatly appreciated by Wordsworth, Scott, Byron, Coleridge, and others - Summary by David Wales More information: http://librivox.org/the-village-and-the-library-by-george-crabbe/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)

Marshall began writing the Principles of Economics in 1881 and he spent much of the next decade at work on the treatise. His plan for the work gradually extended to a two-volume compilation on the whole of economic thought.The first volume was published in 1890 to worldwide acclaim that established him as one of the leading economists of his time. It brought the ideas of supply and demand, of marginal utility and of the costs of production into a coherent whole, and became the dominant economic textbook in England for a long period. The second volume, which was to address foreign trade, money, trade fluctuations, taxation, and collectivism, was never published at all. (Wikipedia).This reading is based on the eighth edition, published in 1920. More information: http://librivox.org/principles-of-economics-book-6-by-alfred-marshall/
