Who HQ

Meet the man behind the board games: Milton Bradley. Born in Maine in 1836, Milton Bradley moved with his family to the working-class city of Lowell, Massachusetts, at age 11. His early life consisted of several highs and lows, from graduating high school and attending Harvard to getting laid off and losing his first wife. These experiences gave Bradley the idea for his first board game: The Checkered Game of Life. He produced and sold Life across the country and it quickly became a national sensation. Working with his company, the Milton Bradley Company, he continued to produce board games, crayons, and kid-friendly school supplies for the rest of his life. He is often credited as the father of board games, and the Milton Bradley Company has created Battleship, Jenga, Yahtzee, Trouble, and many more classic games.

Early Poems of John Milton 

#paperback #classics #milton has highlighting 

John Milton was a master of almost every type of verse, from the classical to the religious and from the lyrical to the epic. His early poems include the devotional 'On the Morning of Christ's Nativity', 'Comus', a masque, and the pastoral elegy 'Lycidas'. After Cromwell's death and the dashing of Milton's political hopes, he began composing Paradise Lost, which reflects his profound understanding of politics and power. Written when Milton was at the height of his abilities, this great masterpiece fuses the Christian with the classical in its description of the fall of Man. In Samson Agonistes, Milton's last work, the poet draws a parallel with his own life in the hero's struggle to renew his faith in God.

Episodes in Monetary History

"A lively, enlightening introduction to monetary history...from monetarism's most articulate apostle."--Kirkus Reviews"The Oliver Stone of economics" (Chicago Tribune), Nobel Prize laureate Milton Friedman makes clear once and for all that no one, from the local corner merchant to the Wall Street banker to the president of the United States, is immune from monetary economics. In Money Mischief, Friedman discusses the creation of value: from stones to feathers to gold. He outlines the central role of monetary theory and shows how it can act to ignite or deepen inflation. Through colorful historical episodes, he demonstrates the mischief that can result from a misunderstanding of monetary economics -- how, for example, the work of two obscure Scottish chemists destroyed the presidential prospects of William Jennings Bryan and how Franklin D. Roosevelt's decision to appease a few senators from the American West helped communism triumph in China. And he explains, in plain English, what the present monetary system in the United States means for your paycheck and your savings as well as for the global economy.

Published in 1667 and often considered the greatest epic poem in any modern language, Paradise Lost tells the story Of man's first disobedience and the fruit Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste Brought death into the world, and all our woe, With loss of Eden. In 1671, on the suggestion of a Quaker friend, Milton published Paradise Regained, telling of Jesus' triumphant resistance to Satan's temptation, regaining the Paradise lost by Adam and Eve.

Milton's Paradise Lost

7bedb5a6-8e18-4a09-9861-4aae603054fd-1

There is no copyright date on this book but, through some research I was able figure out that it was printed sometime between 1875-1887. I was able to come to this date because the publisher D Lothrop was only printing at Franklin and Hawley Streets from 1875-1887.  

There is an inscription on the back inside cover which is noted in the pictures.
