( About the Book Religious groups include different books...)
About the Book Religious groups include different books in their biblical canons, and sometimes divide or combine books. The Christian Bibles range from 73 books in the Catholic Church Bible, and 66 books in the Protestant canon, to 81 books in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church canon. The Tanakh, or Hebrew Bible contains 24 books divided into three parts: 5 books of the Torah ("teaching"); the Nevi'im ("prophets"); and the Ketuvim ("writings"). The first part of Christian Bibles is called the Old Testament, and contains the above 24 books but is divided into 39 books, and is ordered differently. The Catholic Church and Eastern Christian churches maintain that certain deuterocanonical books and passages are part of the Old Testament. The second part is the New Testament, which contains 27 books; the four Canonical gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, and 21 Epistles or letters, and the Book of Revelation. The Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Assyrian Christian churches have some minor differences in their lists of books. About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored." Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books. There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon. Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

Excerpt from Campaigns of the Army of the Potomac: A Critical History of Operations in Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania From the Commencement to the Close of the War; 1861-1865 For the elucidation of the deeds of the Army of Northern Vir ginia, the mighty rival of the Army of the Potomac, my sources of information have been scarcely less ample. These embrace the complete Reports of the Army of Northern Virginia, and many manuscript reports and documents kindly forwarded to me. I have also had the advantage of full conversations with most of the chief commanders of the Confederate army and I think the result cannot fail to appear in the explanation of many things hitherto wrongly interpreted, many things hitherto wholly incomprehensible.

(This is a comprehensive history that traces the Army of t...)
This is a comprehensive history that traces the Army of the Potomac's creation and fighting during the course of the Civil War. From the intro: "I design in this volume to record, as far as may now be done, what that Army did and suffered in ten campaigns and twoscore battles, in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. This history, if adequately made, must be the history also of much the larger part of that gigantic war that, originating in the secession of eleven States from the Federal Union, ended, after four years, in the establishment of that Union on a lasting basis. For though this conflict assumed continental proportions and raged around a circumference of many thousand miles, it was observed that its head and front remained alway in that stretch of territory between the Potomac and the James, and between the Blue Ridge and the Chesapeake. Here, from the start, each belligerent, as by common consent, concentrated its richest resources; here, throughout the struggle, each continued to sustain its greatest armies, under its ablest commanders: and never for a day did it lose its military primacy in the eyes of either party to the conflict. It is estimated that out of the half million men who met death, and the two million who suffered wound in the war—the losses of both sides, and the casualties of all the battles and sieges over the whole continental field of action, being included— above one-half this appalling aggregate belongs to the Army of the Potomac and its adversary. These losses are the summing up of a series of campaigns and battles as grand in their proportions as any on record, waged with a remorseless energy, wrought out with all the resources that modern art has devised to make war deadly, and fought upon a theatre peculiar in its character and the conditions of warfare. That theatre is Virginia—a colossal canvas whereon moving masses and the forms of wrestling armies appear. The history of the War for the Union would set forth that majestic exhibition of power by which a free People, without military traditions, created great armies, waged a national war, and subdued an internal revolt of a magnitude without parallel. But my present province is more restricted, and embraces the story of one alone of these armies, though the main one."

William Swinton was born on April 23, 1833 at the Salton, near Edinburgh, Scotland. He was the son of William and Jane (Currie) Swinton, and a brother of John Swinton. The family emigrated to Canada in 1843.
Swinton received his preparatory education at Knox College, a Presbyterian school which later became one of the colleges of the University of Toronto. He entered Amherst College with the class of 1856 but remained for only part of his freshman year.
From 1855 to 1858 William Swinton taught in the Mount Washington Collegiate Institute in New York City, meanwhile preparing for the Presbyterian ministry.
He had already done some successful magazine writing, and soon after securing a position with the New York Times in 1858, he definitely abandoned plans for a ministerial career. Early in the Civil War he was sent to the front as the Times special correspondent with the armies in the field, where his savage criticisms of leading generals kept him in bad grace with the authorities.
In this matter he can hardly be said to have transgressed the ethical code of the newspapers of the time, but in some respects his conduct would not bear scrutiny at any time or under any circumstances.
He sought to secure privileges by methods savoring of blackmail and to get information by means that may very gently be called undignified. Early in the Virginia campaign of 1864 one of General United States Grant's staff officers unceremoniously pulled him out of the hiding place where he was listening to a conference between Grant and General George G. Meade.
The patience of the War Department was finally exhausted, and on July 1, 1864, an order was issued depriving him of privileges as a correspondent and forbidding him to remain with the army. During the next few years he published several books dealing with the war: The Times Review of McClellan; His Military Career Reviewed and Exposed (1864), Campaigns of the Army of the Potomac (1866), The Twelve Decisive Battles of the War (1867), History of the New York Seventh Regiment During the War of the Rebellion (1870).
In 1869 he became professor of English at the University of California, then just established on its new (but temporary) site at Oakland. President Daniel Coit Gilman's policies were so strongly opposed by Swinton that the latter's resignation in 1874--with that of one other professor--was necessary to the restoration of harmony in the faculty.
He spent this period of his life in Brooklyn, New York, and there he died, survived by three sons and two daughters.

Swinton ran as the candidate for the Progressive Labor Party in 1887 for the New York State Senate in the state's 7th district.
Swinton was a hard but highly erratic worker, and so careless in his financial habits that he was frequently pressed for money. At such times he was ready to dispose of valuable copyrights for a comparatively small sum in cash.
In 1853 William Swinton married Catherine Linton of Canada and secured a position as teacher of languages in the Edgeworth Female Seminary at Greensboro, North Carolina.
