About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Miscellanea, Vol. 2 of 2: Comprising Reviews, Lectures, and Essays, on Historical, Theological, and Miscellaneous Subjects; Theological and Miscellaneous

Still we are not satisfied. We are always in a restless fever Of agitation and excitement. We are never at rest, but when we are in motion. We forget what is past, and we bend forward to what is future. Past dis coveries, great and magnificent as they are, are all counted as nothing; we anticipate something much more brilliant in the future. The surface Of society is like that of the ocean lashed into foamy billows by the winds Of heaven. But, unlike the sea, we are never at rest. The great charac teristic Of the age is progress. We must progress in every thing; in the arts, in the sciences, in legislation, in philosophy, and even in religion! We are always looking restlessly ahead. Inventions, which once dazzled the world with their brilliancy and promise Of usefulness, have been long since superseded and forgotten. The cumbrous and imperfect steamboat machinery Of Blasco de Garay and Of Biancas were superseded by the more simple and manageable apparatus Of Fulton; While this too, in its turn, has given way to the more available methods suggested by recent discoveries.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
