"THIS is not a scholarly book in the pedantic sense nor is it intended to be one. Neither is it a complete collection of Maine folklore. Rather, it is a selection of tales, beliefs, superstitions, songs, and customs of people of English-speaking stock in Maine. It is a book that attempts to give illustrations of most of the major aspects of folklore that are, or have been within the last twenty years, extant in the state."-Horace P. Beck, Introduction

Free Download Maine de Biran, "Maine de Biran’s ‘Of Immediate Apperception’"
English | ISBN: 1350086193 | 2020 | 184 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Written when Maine de Biran was coming into his philosophical maturity, in 1807, ‘Of Immediate Apperception’ was the first complete statement of his own philosophy of the will. It was the winning entry to a competition organised by the Berlin Académie des Sciences et Belles-Lettres on the subject of self-awareness and of the possibility of an ‘immediate apperception’ of the self. It contains the core of Biran’s philosophy of effort, as it is developed in dialogue with the tradition of British empiricism in particular. Notably, it is in this work that Biran first reflects on the ‘lived body’ and it marks the moment in which he fully accomplishes his break away from Condillac and the Ideological school.

Free Download Ron Pesha, "The Great Gold Swindle of Lubec, Maine"
English | 2013 | ISBN: 1626190089, 1540221474 | EPUB | pages: 208 | 2.1 mb
In 1897, a stranger named Reverend Prescott Jernegan arrived in Lubec and made a bold claim: he could extract gold from seawater. To do so, he used so-called accumulators of electrically charged rods in iron pots. Fooling many, he actually hid the gold beneath a wharf in the Bay of Fundy during the night. He and his accomplice, Charles Fisher, preached with fervent enthusiasm as they built their factory and encouraged inspections, which reversed doubters to greedy high-stakes investors. Hundreds of laborers accelerated factory expansion until July 1897, when Jernegan and Fisher fled. Although residents of Lubec attempted civil and criminal action, both men relocated, and fantasies of gold wealth flowed away. Relive the excitement, disappointment and anger of turn-of-the-century Mainers in this collection of accounts about the Lubec gold hoax.
