Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Lectures This was altogether one of the most extraordinary and deeply interesting extemporaneous addresses we have ever heard. Not so much for its eloquence, though replete with that quality, of an earnest, real, and glowing character; nor for its illustrations and imagery, though these were numerous, varied, and striking; but for its deep thought, wide comprehensive views, earnest sin cerity and truthfulness, its elevated tone, its noble and generous estimate of man's nature and worth, and its manly putting aside of petty conventionalities, and solemn regard for the great verities of life and immortality5 - we repeat, it was one of the most thought-awakening lectures we ever listened to. It was not a mere lecture on Carlyle, but a comprehensive survey of the spirit of the 18th century, and that which is dawning, or dawned, in the 19th5 a vigorous examination of the faults and merits of their literature and morality; an inquiry into the circumstances of the men that have effected a change in that spirit5 a bold sweeping away of much of the nonsense written and spoken of the style of Carlyle; a glance at what he has done to bring us acquainted with the greatest men of the age, the writers of Germany 5 and, with all these, an excursive, yet not discursive, going forth into and laying bare of popular fallacies, prejudices, and weaknesses, and a manly, fearless assertion of the right, the just, and the true, which astonished and delighted his auditors, and won the assent of their conviction, as manifested by their enthusiastic plaudits.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures The following selections from the Lectures of the late Dr. Punshon are printed in the same order as that in which the Lectures were first published, so far as that order is known. Two of them, The Men of the May ower, and Science, Literature, and Re ligion, are now printed for the first time. It may be well to remind the reader that the lecture on Science, Literature, and Religion was prepared more than thirty years ago, While Dr. Punshon was still a Probationer for the Ministry. Necessarily, therefore, it here and there looks at the relative positions of the subjects compared from a point of view determined more by the state of questions at that time than at the present. The immense circulation which, as separately published, most of these Lectures have already had, is a guarantee that in this collective form they will pos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conversations With Christ: A Biographical Study Passions and changing feelings of the soul. This portrait of the Jesus of the Gospel interviews is one which well deserves and amply repays the deepest study. Perhaps one of the most valuable results of such a study is the very strong im pression it leaves upon the mind, that in these interviews we have before us fact and not fancy, history and not myth. The figures are evidently real men and women, the questions are practical and not academic, the movement of thought is throbbing with life and personality. We may not possess the negatives from which these portraits have been printed, but the pictures have all the characteristics of photographs, and therefore imply both negatives and originals. The portrait of Jesus is too natural to be artificial, too instinct W1th life to be imaginative, and it has too much personality to be mythical. Here especially we are brought face to face with the Christ of. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Great Men HE who has been enabled to see, even dimly, a world of Beauty and of Joy which his brethren do not seem to see, and to feel heaven - descended influences which his brethren do not seem to feel, - such an one cannot be happy to enjoy these things alone. To live in luxury while his brother is dying of want, to enjoy the light while those around him, though having eyes as he, yet see not, - there is no resting-place here for the ear nest Christian Man. So spake, in 1840, the revered frederic myers, when inaugurating plans he had formed for the spiritual education of his Parish. These words reveal the animating Spirit of his noble efforts, of which these Lectures are remains. He lived as one who felt that his Master's mission was his, to go about teaching truth and doing good. The works of a man's love are his works indeed, and of these Lectures it may be emphatically affirmed, they were the works of the Author's love. His heart glows in every page, witnessing his vivid sympathy with the subject of his discourse. He wrought out the strong conviction he felt, that the Clergyman of a Parish should be its Educator, as well as Spiritual Guide - that the vast portion of most men's time allowed to run to waste.
