The works of Orestes A. Brownson

My favorite book is online!
Bulwark of the Republic: A Biography of the Constitution, Burton Hendrick, 1937.
Here's a review from Time magazine the summer the book was published. I don't recall the author being the enthusiast about the usurpations of Roosevelt II that Time presents, but then I haven't read it in a decade - my last reading of it was in '98 or '99 when our second child was a baby. The reading before that was in '89 or '90; I recall reading the sections on Webster and Lincoln at the laundromat in Shelbyville back when I was working at Butch's Amoco in Findlay.
I'll give it another read now that one of our two copies has been discovered on a bookshelf in the foyer.
(Come to think of it, The Founders' Constitution is now my favorite book, with Bulwark probably coming in second. All this is after the absolute frontrunners, Psalms and the Gospel of Mark.)

Beveridge's John Marshall
Albert Beveridge's four-volume biography of John Marshall is available at the Internet Archive. Russell Kirk says Beveridge writes well about many aspects of rural Virginia life from 1755 to 1835.

Augustine's letter to Proba
The 1950s CUA translation is online, along with the nearly-complete collection of Augustine's letters.
Kirk's "Randolph of Roanoke"
Online! Nearly every day I'm astounded at what can be found at the Internet Archive. Today's astonishment was occasioned by the discovery of Russell Kirk's Randolph of Roanoke: A Study in Conservative Thought - intact, complete and free in a variety of formats.
I loves me the internet.
