Why are so many stone circles egg-shaped or flattened? What is the meaning of the designs in ancient rock art? Do you really have to wait nineteen years to visit the remote site of Callanish?

The Quadrivium consists of the four Liberal Arts of Number, Geometry, Music, and Cosmology, studied from antiquity to the Renaissance as a way of glimpsing the nature of reality. They synthesize number, space, and time. Geometry is number in space, music is number in time, and the cosmos expresses number in space and time. Number, music, and geometry are metaphysical truths, good and beautiful everywhere at all times. Life across the universe investigates them. They foreshadow the physical sciences. This is the first volume to bring together the Quadrivium for many hundreds of years.

Sir Henry Bartle Edward Frere (1815-84) was recognised as one of the ablest colonial administrators of his generation. His service in British India, where he rose to serve on the Supreme Council, was distinguished by his promotion of municipal institutions and his inclusion of the Indian people. In this respect he was ahead of his time. At the outbreak of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, his actions helped limit the spread of the uprising. As Governor of the Cape Colony in South Africa he was directed to confederate the disparate territories there into a single nation, but this mission was marred by his unilateral decision to wage war on the Zulus. In 1894, John Martineau (1834-1910) published this sympathetic two-volume biography. Volume 1 covers Frere's ascent in India from a lowly civil servant to one of its most influential rulers.

If you've ever wanted to know more about the power of 'P', the hypnotic rhythm of anapestic tetrameter, or how to change the mood of a verb, then look no further. If you've ever needed to catch a red herring, wield a zeugma, deepen your pathos or improve your character, then this is the book for you. The TRIVIUM consists of the three liberal arts pertaining to language, Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric. These ancient disciplines have been studied for over two thousand years as a way of refining a speaker and their speech. With extra sections on Euphonics, Poetic Meter and Form, Ethics, and Proverbs, this unique compendium contains a wealth of rare information.
