This work presents the history of Sir Henry Morgan, the Welsh buccaneer who was one of the most famous adventurers and looted Spain's Caribbean colonies during the late 17th century. Working with the unofficial support of the English government, he sabotaged Spanish authority in the West Indies. It's believed that he was a member of the expedition that captured Jamaica from the Spanish in 1655 and converted it into an English colony.

In this study, which is first of all a folk-lore study, we pursue principally an anthropo-psychological method of interpreting the Celtic belief in fairies, though we do not hesitate now and then to call in the aid of philology; and we make good use of the evidence offered by mythologies, religions, metaphysics, and physical sciences.

This book is an analysis of the causes of the Great Depression of 1929. The author concludes that the Depression was caused not by laissez-faire capitalism, but by government intervention in the economy. The author argues that the Hoover administration violated the tradition of previous American depressions by intervening in an unprecedented way and that the result was a disastrous prolongation of unemployment and depression so that a typical business cycle became a lingering disease.
