Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Education, and Not Instruction: An Address Delivered at the Celebration of the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the Founding of Salem College, at Salem, West Virginia, June 12, 1913 A Thousand years ago, there swept out of the chilling regions of the north, down along the coast of Scandinavia, across the waters of the German Ocean, from the land of the Vikings, a mighty fleet of upwards of 700 vessels and 40,000 fierce warriors. The flag-ship, named the Dragon, was fashioned from ancient oaks that had defied the icy blasts of the storm-swept mountains where they grew, into the form of a dragon. She flew a single cross-rigged sail of immense sweep and ornamented with broad stripes of brilliant blue, scarlet, and green and was equipped with half a hundred pairs of oars, some thirty feet in length, and manned by at least four stalwart seamen to each oar. The huge dragons head at the prow was covered with shining gold, and the stern, ending in a dragon´s tail of corresponding proportions, was ornamented in a similar manner. The Dragon alone carried a crew, 700 strong. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
