I have been fascinated with the past all my life. Although time travel is not possible (at least, as far as I know), we can still experience it through what I call "relics of the fourth dimension." Namely, as the old saying goes, "time marches on." We can't travel in the fourth dimension, except going forward in the present, but we can follow the trail of the fourth dimension. Along the way, people lose or discard items from their being. These relics are unintentional time capsules that give us as glimpse into their lives. Here on The Time Searchers blog, I will show some relics of the past that I have run across in our present. Sometimes when I am out on a relic hunt with the Colonial Relic Hunter, we know that we are not alone. There is more than just relics at these historical sites. Indeed, it could be said that there is a portal to the past, perhaps to another dimension, where that which once was, still is. A place where the real consorts with the shadows; the present fuses with the past, on Time Searchers: Ghost Relics.

1812 MORSE'S UNIVERSAL GEOGRAPHY VOLUME TWO BOOK-A GEOGRAPHY LESSON FROM THE PAST.



 
HERE'S SOME PHOTOS OF A BOOK I JUST PICKED UP A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.  ITS A 1812 EDITION OF THE MORSE'S UNIVERSAL GEOGRAPHY VOLUME TWO OF A TWO VOLUME SET.  I WAS ABLE TO GO THROUGH A COLLECTION OF MISCELLANEOUS BOOKS THAT SOMEONE HAD AND FOUND THIS ONE.   THIS ONE COVERS EUROPE AND THE AFRICAN CONTINENT.  VOLUME ONE COVERS THE AMERICAS.  THESE BOOKS WERE EDUCATIONAL AND ENTERTAINING TO THE READERS OF THE TIME.  THIS WAS BEFORE TRAINS, TELEGRAPH AND THE STEAM SHIP.  NO INTERNET OR TELEVISION IN THOSE DAYS.
PEOPLE WOULD STUDY AND READ BOOKS LIKE THIS TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE AND  PERSPECTIVE OF THE WORLD.
     PERIOD BOOKS LIKE THIS ONE GIVES US A INSIGHT TO THE LANGUAGE, THOUGHTS AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TIME.  IN FACT, THIS BOOK STATES THAT IT PROVIDES " A VIEW OF THE PRESENT STATE OF ALL THE KINGDOMS, STATES, AND COLONIES IN THE KNOWN WORLD."  A GREAT BOOK TO READ BY THE FIRESIDE AFTER A LONG RELIC HUNT.-THE TIME SEARCHER
