Excerpt from The Star-Spangled Banner<br><br>The wilderness or multitude of stars in the Heavens commonly described as the Zodiac, was divided into twelve equal sections, and the stars contained in the prescribed area of thirty degrees were then spoken of as a horde or wandering tribe. Science has established for each area specific functions in life, and these attributes were expressed by the scientists at a very early period in a symbolic form, and when collectively taken and assembled, represent the Red, White, and Blue, and symbolize all the powers and elements of nature necessary to life.<br><br>F mm the foregoing facts we may rationally conclude that flags of some kind have been used at all times and places since the beginning of creation, and we may also assume, that many of these were either whimsical or merely serving but a limited or fancied expression of thought, but in the star-spangled Banner or perfect banner, we have all of the varied banners previously established symbolizing the forces and elements necessary to life assembled in one great whole, and while they are not discernible to the eye as such can nevertheless be comprehended and under stood by the contemplative mind. The fact remains that in all of God's kingdoms nothing can live and thrive under conditions other than those symbolized by the star-spangled Banner, affec tionately called the Red, White, and Blue, or the Stars and Stripes.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
