Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in History and Art IN offering these Essays to the public, i have removed from them any passages and allusions that were of an ephemeral nature and also, when I had written several articles on different parts of the same subject, I have recast and fused them into one. In this way three separate articles have been recast and conjoined in the essay on the National Life of China two, in Our Indian Empire; and two, in India: its Castes and Creeds. I have also recast the middle portion of the essay on Real and Ideal Beauty, incorporat ing passages from minor papers on the same subject; and have inserted two woodcuts, illustrating the principle of harmonic proportion as exemplified in the peerless edifice of the Parthenon of Athens.

Download or read book The Law of Civilization and Decay written by Brooks Adams and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of Civilization and Decay: An Essay on History In offering to the public a second edition of The Law of Civilization and Decay I take the opportunity to say emphatically that such value as the essay may have lies in its freedom from any preconceived bias. All theories contained in the book, whether religious or economic, are the effect, and not the cause, of the way in which the facts unfolded themselves. I have been passive. The value of history lies not in the multitude of facts collected, but in their relation to each other, and in this respect an author can have no larger responsibility than any other scientific observer. If the sequence of events seems to indicate the existence of a law governing social development, such a law may be suggested, but to approve or disapprove of it would be a futile as to discuss the moral bearings of gravitation. Some years ago, when writing a sketch of the history of the colony of Massachusetts Bay, I became deeply interested in certain religious aspects of the Reformation, which seemed hardly reconcilable with the theories usually advanced to explain them.

Download or read book Injustice and National Decay written by Samuel Fernald Shorey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Injustice and National Decay: An Essay The chief value of history to the present generation lies in the philosophy of history - lies in showing how far the present is the productof the past. Hence the philosophy of history should be sound. The building of such a structure requires a knowledge of the civilizations. Of past ages. The power of generalization is required. The factors of all of this move and pause, the cause of life and death, common to all, must be traced through the existence of each succeeding nation, if, in our search, we are to ascertain whether the cause of death was old age or disease - natural or artificial. No remarkable discernment is required to see that each civilization evolves and passes on to its successor a gift of gain in progress. This gain of permanent value seems to be the only way in which history repeats itself except in passing through a term of life. History seems never to repeat a program. That is, the form through which national life is expressed seems never to be repeated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays Upon History and Politics The author of these Essays has not republished them because he believes that they are distinguished by any such peculiar merits as to place them above the average standard of periodical literature; but because, owing to causes which it would be tedious to explain, the periodical Essay has en croached upon the province of original authorship to such an extent, that the republication of articles contributed to reviews and newspapers is the only way open to many writers of coming before the public at all, or of testing the value of their own ideas by submitting them to the only kind of scrutiny which can be considered really effective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Essays Between these two, as I hope, fairly solid masses at each end, I have ventured to throw in a few slighter pieces from the Saturday Review, a few out of many contributed to that paper from its beginning to the year 1878. I put them forth as a kind of experiment, hardly knowing whether they are really worth preserving as separate pieces; I have used several already as notes to longer essays in other volumes. No one will look for full treatment of any sub ject on so small a scale; but it has sometimes struck me that a short paper of that kind now and then brings out a particular thought or point of view more forcibly than a longer one.
