Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discourses on Public Occasions The kind of knowledge, the want of which is here said to be not good, we take to be - the knowledge of divine things. For although the attainments of Solomon were so diversified that we cannot suppose him to have been an enemy to know ledge in general, yet the scope of the book is such as to con vince every attentive reader that it is religious knowledge that knowledge which leads to 'the fear of the Lord' - of which he is throughout so lavish of his praises. We need scarcely add that the scriptures are the only source from which religious knowledge is to be derived; and that the teaching of the divine Spirit is indispensable to render even these effectual. The truth of these statements, we beg it to be observed, is to be understood as taken for granted in the whole Of the following discussion. We shall endeavour, with the divine assistance, to explain how the want of religious knowledge is not good for man, and to point out some of those principles by which christians ought to be actuated in seeking the religious instruction of the rising generation. I. I am first to attempt an illustration of the text, by showing how the want of religious knowledge is not good for man.

Download or read book Discourses on Various Subjects and Occasions Classic Reprint written by Robert South and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discourses on Various Subjects and Occasions Dr. South gave successively to the public, six volumes of his sermons during his life five others, much inferior in interest, and in their general character, afterwards appeared. The sixth com plete edition was published in 1744; nor is any subsequent to that date known to me. It is certainly remarkable, that while two distinct volumes of his contemporary Barrow, alter the present plan, have issued from the Clarendon press within this century; the same cflice has not till now been performed for South. What renders the solution of this the more difficult is, that by the manner in which he is to this day referred to and quoted, on questions of doctrine, in the principal journal of the English church, his name would seem to have lost little of its weight and influence with the lapse of years. The local topics of many of these sermons, can explain this neglect, only in part; for this circumstance has its share also in giving them something of their interest and value. As little can it be thought chargeable, in any great measure at least, on the unami able features which his pages too often present. In that case surely, the author would have most rigorously expiated the faults of the man. Various causes, probably, have conspired to te remove these sermons so far from the public norice; and it affords some complacency to the editor, as well as some recompense to his labour, to have been in any degree the means of their revival.

Download or read book Rhetorical Questions written by Edwin Black and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1992-04-15 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From classical antiquity through the Renaissance, rhetoric was the prime vehicle of education in the West and the discipline that prepared students for civic life. With a comprehensiveness drawn from this tradition, Edwin Black here probes the incongruities between form and substance that open public discourse to significant interpretation. Locating rhetorical studies at the confluence of literature and politics, Black focuses on the ideological component of seemingly literary texts and the use of literary devices to advance political advocacy. The essays collected here range in subject matter from nineteenth-century oratory to New York Times editorials to the rhetoric of Richard Nixon. Unifying the collection are the concerns of secrecy and disclosure, identity, opposition, the scope of argument in public persuasion, and the historical mutability of rhetorical forms.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Public Man: A Discourse on Occasion of the Death of Hon. John Fairfield, Delivered in Washington, Dec, 28, 1847 I have employed the interval of time since the delivery of the following Discourse, in carefully substantiating the accuracy of the facts and allusions contained in it, and have not found cause to vary at all from any statements I have made. The gentlemen to whose friendly interest I am indebted for my materials, will accept my grateful acknowledgment. To those who have kindly offered to furnish additional data to be embodied in the Discourse, I return my sincere thanks; but as its nature and design, no less than the short time of preparation allowed, prevent its being a full and authentic record of events, I have preferred to retain it in its original form, only adding a few lines where required by the connexion. By the courtesy of the gentlemen whose duty it became to announce the death of Governor Fairfield in the Houses of Congress, I am permitted to insert their remarks in the form of an Appendix. J.H. A.

Download or read book Discourses and Selected Writings written by Epictetus and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2008-08-28 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contains The Discourses/Fragments/Enchiridion 'I must die. But must I die bawling?' Epictetus, a Greek Stoic and freed slave, ran a thriving philosophy school in Nicopolis in the early second century AD. His animated discussions were celebrated for their rhetorical wizardry and were written down by Arrian, his most famous pupil. The Discourses argue that happiness lies in learning to perceive exactly what is in our power to change and what is not, and in embracing our fate to live in harmony with god and nature. In this personal, practical guide to the ethics of Stoicism and moral self-improvement, Epictetus tackles questions of freedom and imprisonment, illness and fear, family, friendship and love. Translated and Edited with an Introduction by Robert Dobbin
