Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Essays on Literary Subjects I have heard, on what seems credible authority, that an eminent scholar, who, at the present moment, occupies the Chair of English Literature at one of our Universities, began a lecture on the same subject as that on which I have the honour of addressing you to-night with these memorable words: "Strictly speaking, Charles Dickens had no humour." cannot promise you any observations of so startling and arresting a kind as that; I shall confine myself to a much humbler, more ordinary, and more natural effort. You must pardon the egotism of a lively gratitude if the word "I" occurs oftener in the course of my speech than I could wish, for I can truly say that Charles Dickens has been to me, though I never knew him, nor even saw him, one of the very best friends that life has afforded, and best in the darkest hours. In that respect, I can only bracket him with Sir Walter Scott, there being this difference between the two cases, that Scott was to all of us an historical character, whereas some of us lived contemporaneously with part of Charles Dickens' life.

Download or read book When I Was a Child I Read Books written by Marilynne Robinson and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2012-03-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marilynne Robinson has built a sterling reputation as a writer of sharp, subtly moving prose, not only as a major American novelist, but also as a rigorous thinker and incisive essayist. In When I Was a Child I Read Books she returns to and expands upon the themes which have preoccupied her work with renewed vigor. In "Austerity as Ideology," she tackles the global debt crisis, and the charged political and social political climate in this country that makes finding a solution to our financial troubles so challenging. In "Open Thy Hand Wide" she searches out the deeply embedded role of generosity in Christian faith. And in "When I Was a Child," one of her most personal essays to date, an account of her childhood in Idaho becomes an exploration of individualism and the myth of the American West. Clear-eyed and forceful as ever, Robinson demonstrates once again why she is regarded as one of our essential writers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay Upon Single Vision With Two Eyes: Together With Experiments and Observations on Several Other Subjects in Optics The first comprehends those of Galen, Alhazen, Rohault, Dr. Briggs, and Sir Isaac Newton, all of whom have regarded the question I have mentioned as equivalent to the following one: Whence comes it, that the mind should be affected with only one perception from two impressions upon the external organs of fight, since either of those impressions is, of itself, sufficient to produce a similar perception? Their universal answer has been: Because the two impressions are united before they are communicated to the mind. And the only difference among these authors, has been with respect to the manner in which such an union takes place.To the second class are to be referred the opinions of those, who hold it as certain, that an object is seen single by both eyes, because it is seen by each of them in the same external place; and who profess to point out some law, or constant rule of vision, from which this sameness of place is to be derived as a neccessary consequence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Educational Essays, or Practical Observations on the Intellectual and Moral Training and Scholastic Discipline of Youth: With Inquiries and Remarks Illustrating the Respective Advantages of Home and Colonial Education Undeterred by such considerations, the writer of the following pages presumes to lay before the public a few hints, on subjects not usually treated of in books on education; being some of the results of more than forty years' experience in tuition; trusting that however unimportant some of his suggestions may appear to the general reader, they may be appreciated by those who, from being engaged in kindred pursuits, and having a practical knowledge of the' difficulties attending them, are qualified to judge of the correctness of the plans proposed, as well as of their utility in facilitating scholastic duties.

Download or read book Portraits and Observations written by Truman Capote and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps no twentieth century writer was so observant and elegant a chronicler of his times as Truman Capote. Whether he was profiling the rich and famous or creating indelible word-pictures of events and places near and far, Capote’s eye for detail and dazzling style made his reportage and commentary undeniable triumphs of the form. Portraits and Observations is the first volume devoted solely to all the essays ever published by this most beloved of writers. From his travel sketches of Brooklyn, New Orleans, and Hollywood, written when he was twenty-two, to meditations about fame, fortune, and the writer’s art at the peak of his career, to the brief works penned during the isolated denouement of his life, these essays provide an essential window into mid-twentieth-century America as offered by one of its canniest observers. Included are such celebrated masterpieces of narrative nonfiction as “The Muses Are Heard” and the short nonfiction novel “Handcarved Coffins,” as well as many long-out-of-print essays, including portraits of Isak Dinesen, Mae West, Marcel Duchamp, Humphrey Bogart, and Marilyn Monroe. Among the highlights are “Ghosts in Sunlight: The Filming of In Cold Blood, “Preface to Music for Chameleons, in which Capote candidly recounts the highs and lows of his long career, and a playful self-portrait in the form of an imaginary self-interview. The book concludes with the author’s last written words, composed the day before his death in 1984, the recently discovered “Remembering Willa Cather,” Capote’s touching recollection of his encounter with the author when he was a young man at the dawn of his career. Portraits and Observations puts on display the full spectrum of Truman Capote’s brilliance. Certainly, Capote was, as Somerset Maugham famously called him, “a stylist of the first quality.” But as the pieces gathered here remind us, he was also an artist of remarkable substance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though "modern Indian law" is actually of Western origin, Galanter here contends that independent India has accepted this mid-twentieth century legal system intellectually and institutionally. His thirteen articles, covering a wide range of issues in Indian society, explore the operation of modern Indian law and explicate the ways in which a complex body of formal law accommodates and adjusts itself to local conditions to which it is alien.

Download or read book Essays written by Plutarch and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1993-04-06 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selections from one of the greatest essayists of the Graeco-Roman world Plutarch used an encyclopedic knowledge of the Roman Empire to produce a compelling and individual voice. In this superb selection from his writings, he offers personal insights into moral subjects that include the virtue of listening, the danger of flattery and the avoidance of anger, alongside more speculative essays on themes as diverse as God's slowness to punish man, the use of reason by supposedly "irrational" animals and the death of his own daughter. Brilliantly informed, these essays offer a treasure-trove of ancient wisdom, myth and philosophy, and a powerful insight into a deeply intelligent man.
