But not finding it successful, he was sensible of his error in going to the press too early, and he cast the whole anew in the following pieces, where some negligences in his former reasoning and more in the expres sion, are, he hopes, corrected. Yet several writers, who have honoured the Author's Philosophy with answers, have taken care to direct all their batteries against the juvenile work, which the Author never acknowledged, and have affected to triumph in any advantages, which, they imagined. They had obtained over it: A practice very contrary to all rules of candour and fairodealing, and a strong instance of those polemical artifices, which a bigotted zeal thinks itself author ised to employ. Henceforth, the Author desires, that the following Pieces may alone be regarded as containing his philosophical senments and principles) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Employment merely ma nual and mechanical. But, after all, whatever a few may fay, write, or think, it is certain, that the great elt fcholars were content with reading, without making either extracts or epitomes. They were fatisfied with what remained in their minds after a diligent perufal, and when they wrote, they wrote their own. Reading is, indeed, molt juflly called the food of the \mind.

Download or read book Essays Moral Political and Literary Vol 1 of 2 written by David Hume and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays Moral, Political, and Literary, Vol. 1 of 2 Some people are subject to a certain delicacy of passion, which makes them extremely sensible to all the accidents of life, and gives them a lively joy upon every prosperous event, as well as a piercing grief, when they meet with misfortunes and adversity. Favours and good offices easily engage their friendship; while the smallest injury provokes their resentment. Any honour or mark of distinction elevates them above measure; but they are as sensibly touched with contempt. People of this character have, no doubt, more lively enjoyments, as well as more pungent sorrows, than men of cool and sedate tempers: But, I believe, when every thing is balanced, there is no one, who would not rather be of the latter character, were he entirely master of his own disposition. Good or ill fortune is very little at our disposal: And when a person, that has this sensibility of temper, meets with any misfortune, his sorrow or resentment takes entire possession of him, and deprives him of ail relish in the common occurrences of life; the right enjoyment of which forms the chief part of our happiness. Great pleasures are much less frequent than great pains; so that a sensible temper must meet with fewer trials in the former way than in the latter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays and Marginalia, Vol. 1 of 2 Though written at dates ranging over a period of nearly thirty years (the order of which, speak ing generally, is observed in the present pub lication), commencing in early manhood, and continued through middle life, little inconsistency of opinion, or even of style, is discernible in these pieces. A progress may, however, be traced in simplicity of expression, without loss of liveliness, in justness of thought, and in depth of feeling. In this, and in other respects, they run closely parallel to the author's Poems, recently pub lished, * and in both cases are highly subjective and even personal, differing in this from his father' s literary remains in the same kind, which speak with the abstraction of a proverb or an oracle.
