PREFACE
WHEN all but the last of the following chapters were already in type, I was offered a seat on the Royal Commission (1913) on Indian Finance and Currency. If my book had been less far advanced, I should, of course, have delayed publication until the Commission had reported, and my opinions had been more fully formed by the discussions of the Commission and by the evidence placed before it. In the circumstances, however, I have decided to publish immediately what I had already written, without the addition of certain other chapters which had been projected. The book, as it now stand is wholly prior in date to the labours of the Commission.

Of the fall of the Sparrow we often have heard, And I've here represented the fall of the bird: In the case of Asparagus though, I may mention, A fall such as this, is quite out of the question: For observe that Asparagus, fat and well fed, Spends all of his time in the 'sparagus bed.
# Jesus the Christ/Preface

The scope of the subject presented in this work is expressed on the title page. It will be readily seen that the author has departed from the course usually followed by writers on the Life of Jesus Christ, which course, as a rule, begins with the birth of Mary's Babe and ends with the ascension of the slain and risen Lord from Olivet. The treatment embodied in these pages, in addition to the narrative of the Lord's life in the flesh comprizes the antemortal existence and activities of the world's Redeemer, the revelations and personal manifestations of the glorified and exalted Son of God during the apostolic period of old and in modern times, the assured nearness of the Lord's second advent, and predicted events beyond—all so far as the Holy Scriptures make plain.
It is particularly congruous and appropriate that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—the only Church that affirms authority based on specific revelation and commission to use the Lord's Holy Name as a distinctive designation—should set forth her doctrines concerning the Messiah and His mission.
The author of this volume entered upon his welcome service under request and appointment from the presiding authorities of the Church; and the completed work has been read to and is approved by the First Presidency and the Council of the Twelve. It presents, however, the writer's personal belief and profoundest conviction as to the truth of what he has written. The book is published by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
A characteristic feature of the work is the guidance afforded by modern scriptures and the explication of the Holy Writ of olden times in the light of present day revelation, which, as a powerful and well directed beam, illumines many dark passages of ancient construction.
The spirit of the sacredness inherent in the subject has been a constant companion of the writer throughout his pleasing labor, and he reverently invokes the same as a minister to the readers of the volume.

Justice SCALIA, concurring in part and concurring in the judgment.
I join Parts I and IV of the Court's opinion, and Part III except insofar as it relies upon legislative history. To hold that the more general provisions of 42 U.S.C. § 1981 establish a mode of liability for a particular category of offense by municipalities that is excluded from the closely related statute (42 U.S.C. § 1983) which deals more specifically with that precise category of offense would violate the rudimentary principles of construction that the specific governs the general, and that, where text permits, statutes dealing with similar subjects should be interpreted harmoniously.

Jett v. Dallas Independent School District
No. Nos 87-2084, 88-214 Argued: March 28, 1989. --- Decided: June 22, 1989
Syllabus
Petitioner Jett, a white male, was employed by respondent Dallas Independent School District (DISD) as a teacher, athletic director, and head football coach at a predominantly black high school. After repeated clashes with the school's Principal Todd, a black man, over school policies and Jett's handling of the school's football program, Todd recommended that Jett be relieved of his duties as athletic director and coach. The DISD's Superintendent Wright affirmed Todd's recommendation and reassigned Jett to a teaching position in another school, where he had no coaching duties. Alleging, inter alia, that Todd's recommendation was racially motivated, and that the DISD, acting through Todd and Wright, had discriminated against him on the basis of race in violation of 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981 and 1983 and the Equal Protection Clause, Jett brought this action in the District Court, which upheld a jury verdict in his favor on all counts. The Court of Appeals reversed in part and remanded, finding, among other things, that the District Court's jury instructions as to the DISD's liability under § 1983 were deficient, since (1) they did not make clear that, under Monell v. New York City Dept. of Social Services, 436 U.S. 658, 98 S.Ct. 2018, 56 L.Ed.2d 611, such liability could be predicated on the actions of Todd or Wright only if those officials had been delegated policymaking authority or acted pursuant to a well settled custom that represented official policy; and (2) even if Wright could be considered a policymaker for purposes of the transfer of personnel, the jury made no finding that his decision to transfer Jett was either improperly motivated or consciously indifferent to the improper motivations of Todd. The Court of Appeals also rejected the District Court's conclusion that the DISD's § 1981 liability for Todd's actions could be predicated on a respondeat superior theory, noting that Monell had held that Congress did not intend that municipalities be subject to vicarious liability under § 1983 for the federal constitutional or statutory violations of their employees, and declaring that to impose such liability for only certain wrongs based on § 1981 apparently would contravene the congressional intent behind § 1983.
Held: The judgment is affirmed in part, and the cases are remanded.
798 F.2d 748 (CA5 1986), and 837 F.2d 1244 (CA5 1988), affirmed in part and remanded.
Justice O'CONNOR delivered the opinion of the Court with respect to Parts I, III, and IV, concluding that:

# Hunting and Trapping Stories; a Book for Boys/The Cheetah at Work

​The Cheetah or Hunting Leopard is a long legged member of the cat family, hailing from India. It seems to be a bit leopard, bit serval and bit panther. It stands higher on its feet than the leopard but it is not nearly as strong nor as cunning in its ways.
The cheetah has been trained by men for hunting purposes, using somewhat the same method as with our greyhound in coursing rabbits. The cheetah is carried to the hunting field blindfolded, and often in a cart for the sake of handling it easier. It is chiefly used to run down deer. When
game is sighted a hunter creeps forward holding the cheetah in check with a slip-knot bandage. As soon as the pair come within striking distance of the herd of deer, the hunter slips the bandage from the head and eyes of the cheetah. For an instant it is bewildered but it soon catches sight of its prey. It approaches the deer in two ways; either it stalks up to them in cat fashion, or else it makes a dash for the nearest buck. The speed of the cheetah is very great and it can even catch a deer with a short rush, provided the latter does not get too much of a handicap at the start.
Directly the cheetah seizes its prey the hunter runs up and entices it away from the body with a ladleful of blood, or else a rag soaked in blood. With a badly trained, or young cheetah, it is sometimes hard work to get it to give up its prey. The size and strength of the cheetah forbid its being kicked off like a dog; it must be humored.

# Hunting and Trapping Stories; a Book for Boys/The Man who Stole a Tiger Cub

HOMAGE TO THE KING
For some time, a big tiger had infested the jungle not far from the village and the native, in the course of his wanderings found a small cave which proved to be the tiger's den. He kept watch for several days and discovered that the tigress had little cubs. All tigers are suspicious and watchful especially when they have young ones and seldom leave them alone for any length of time.
The hunter stationed himself in a tree and from there observed the tigress's movements. He found that towards sundown each evening she went off in search of prey and left the cubs at the cave's mouth to sun themselves. They were still quite small, being hardly larger than good sized cats.
The hunter made all his preparations and one day arming himself only with a stick, and taking a native boy as a helper he set out in earnest upon his perilous task.
The gentleman and some friends whiled away the time at the club until the hunter should return. Suddenly there was a cry outside and a babel of voices, and the native boy rushed among them screaming and raving. When they had calmed him down and assured him that he was safe he told his tale and it was simple enough. They had watched the tigress go away and then the hunter had crept to the bank near the cave's mouth and leaning in over seized a cub by the neck. He was about to bundle it into the sack when the tigress, who must have suspected something was wrong, appeared behind him! Before the boy could utter a cry of alarm the tigress made one silent spring and buried her claw in the thief's back. Then she stepped aside an instant and stood with uplifted paw ready for another move, but the man was done for. The boy turned and fled and did not even stop to breathe until he was safe among human beings again.
The only safe way to get a tiger cub in a case like that would be to to shoot the mother, otherwise unless the party is large and well armed, they are likely to meet the fate of this native.
Sometimes when a tiger has been robbed of a cub it will follow the scent to the village and descend upon it at night carrying death and destruction in its path. Tiger cubs are pretty and playful when they are small but they soon get teeth and claws and use them roughly. In zoological gardens it is a common thing for keepers to let the cubs out of the cage.

# John James Audubon (Burroughs)/Adverts

THE BEACON BIOGRAPHIES.
M. A. DEWOLFE HOWE, Editor.
The aim of this series is to furnish brief, readable, and authentic accounts of the lives of those Americans whose personalities have impressed themselves most deeply on the character and history of their country. On account of the length of the more formal lives, often running into large volumes, the average busy man and woman have not the time or hardly the inclination to acquaint themselves with American biography. In the present series everything that such a reader would ordinarily care to know is given by writers of special competence, who possess in full measure the best contemporary point of view. Each volume is equipped with a frontispiece portrait, a calendar of important dates, and a brief bibliography for further reading. Finally, the volumes are printed in a form convenient for reading and for carrying handily in the pocket.

THE BEACON BIOGRAPHIES.
THE WESTMINSTER BIOGRAPHIES.
The Westminster Biographies are uniform in plan size, and general make-up with the Beacon Biographies, the point of important difference lying in the fact that they deal with the lives of eminent Englishmen instead of eminent Americans. They are bound in limp red cloth, are gilt-topped, and have a cover design and a vignette title-page by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue. Like the Beacon Biographies, each volume has a frontispiece portrait, a photogravure, a calendar of dates, and a bibliography for further reading.
