Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Various Subjects, Vol. 1 of 3 The greater part, in fact, of the essays now pre sented to the public, have appeared as papers in the Dublin Review; and they preserve in this collection their primitive form. This has been done, not merely to escape the trouble of changing the plural into the singular number, but because I feel that the plural preserves a modesty of tone, and a reserve of Opinion, which was originally intended, and would be lost by any change of forms. For, as I have intimated, the Dublin Review is the exponent of a system of views, to which, rather than to individual speculations, each contributor's writings should be referred.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essays, Vol. 1 of 3: Translated by Charles Cotton The text of these volumes is taken from the first edition of Cotton's version, printed in 3 vols. 8vc, 1685 - 6, and republished in 1693, 1700, 171 1, 1738, and 1743, in the same number of volumes and the same size. In the earliest impression the errors of the press are corrected merely as far as page 240 of the first volume, and all the editions follow one another. That of 168 5 - 6 was the only one which the translator lived to see. He died in 1687, leaving behind him an interesting and little-known collection of poems, which appeared posthumously, 8vo, 1689.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 1 of 3 How beautiful are all the subdivisions of time diversifying the dream of human life, as it glides away between earth and heaven! And why should moralists mourn over that mutability that gives the chief charm to all that passes so transitorily before our eyes, leaving image upon image fairer and dearer far than even the realities, still visible, and it may be for ever, in the waters of memory sleeping within the heart? Memory never awakes but along with imagination, and therefore it is "That she can give us back the dead, Even in the loveliest looks they wore!" The years, the months, the weeks, the days, the nights, the hours, the minutes, the moments, each is in itself a different living, and peopled, and haunted world. One life is a thousand lives, and each individual, as he fully renews the past, reappears in a thousand characters, yet all of them bearing a mysterious identity not to be misunderstood, and all of them, while every passion has been shifting and dying away, and reascending into power, still under the dominion of the same unchanging conscience, that feels and knows that it is from God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Various Subjects, Vol. 1 of 6: By His Eminence, Cardinal Wiseman If I owe any apology to my readers for publishing this series of unconnected papers and essays, I must be content to plead the request of many friends, and frequent applications from strangers, to have such a collection made. For, although much of what is now printed with my name originally appeared anonymously, and under the shelter of editorial responsibility, its authorship has been pretty generally known, and never disavowed. This is not uncommon in reviews; and yet there is a convenience in the advantages of such a position; for it enables the writer to speak with a confidence, and sometimes with a boldness, from which he would shrink, if he spoke in his own person, and not as the representative of certain principles, embodied in a collective responsibility. The greater part, in fact, of the essays now presented to the public, have appeared as papers in the Dublin Review and they preserve in this collection their primitive form.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Vol. 1: Scientific, Political, and Speculative The Origin and Function of Music which last is about equal in length to the original essay. Changes have been made in many of the essays: in some cases by omitting passages and in other cases by including new ones. Especially the essay on The N ebular Hypothesis may be named as one which, though unchanged in essentials, has been much altered by additions and subtractions, and by bringing its statements up to date; so that it has been in large measure re-cast. Beyond these respects in which this final edition differs from preceding editions, it differs in having undergone a verification of its references and quotations, as well as a second verbal revision.

Their published writings are likely to be the safest records of the minds of most men; certainly these are the medium chosen by themselves, and the utterances which they have most deliberately sanctioned; but to those who have the indescribable image of the real character in their own hearts and memories, even the facts, the published writings and the actions, may fail to give any true idea of the unconscious charm or reality of the individual mind.

Download or read book Essays Vol 1 written by R a Neal Mick P L R a Neal Mick R a Neal Mick P L Wilson Wilson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-27 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Vol. 1: Critical and Imaginative At the same time I have to regret, as I had in the case of the noctesambrosiance, that the Collection has not received the benefit of his final emendations. It has the seal of his imprimatur, but not the stamp of his corrections. To some extent, however, this disadvantage may be balanced by the compensating fact that, if these Essays have lost something in not having obtained the benefit of their Author's maturer judgment, they may also have gained something in having preserved, entire and undisturbed, the buoyancy and fresh ness of their original projection. The train of thought and feeling and humour which arose in Professor Wilson's mind under the fervent impulse of the moment, was generally such as no subsequent reflection could have inspired, and no sub sequent criticism improved. Short explanatory notices have been prefixed to such of the Essays as appeared to require them. In this place, therefore, I need only say that the chronological order in which the articles were originally published, has been ad hered to as the rule. Where exceptions occur, the reason will either be assigned at its proper place, or will be suffi ciently obvious to the reader. This may be added, that although Professor Wilson was a contributor (and a very efficient one) to Blackwood's Magazine from its commence ment in 1817, the Essays contained in this collection are (with a few exceptions) of not older date than the year 1826: for this was the period about which he began to put forth his full strength, and to rejoice in the untrammelled exercise of his varied and peculiar powers.

Download or read book The Essays Vol 1 of 3 written by Michel de Montaigne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essays, Vol. 1 of 3: Translated by Charles Cotton The Essays of Montaigne, which arc at once the most celebrated and the most permanent of his productions, form a magazine out of which such writers as Bacon and Shakespear did not disdain to help themselves; and indeed, as Hallam observes, the Frenchman's literary importance largely results from the share which his mind had in influencing other minds, coeval and subsequent. But, at the same time, estimating the value and rank of the Essayist, we are not to leave out of the account the drawbacks and the circumstances of the period: the imperfect state of education, the comparative scarcity of books, and the limited opportunities of intellectual intercourse. Montaigne freely borrowed of others, and he has found men willing to borrow of him as freely. We need not wonder at the reputation which he with seeming facility achieved. He was, without being aware of it, the leader of a new school in letters and morals. His book was different from all others which were at that date in the world. It diverted the ancient currents of thought into new channels. It told its readers with unexampled frankness, what its writer's opinion was about men and things, and threw what must have been a strange kind of new light on many matters but darkly understood. Above all, the Essayist uncased himself. and made his intellectual and physical organism public property. He took the world into his confidence on all subjects. His essays were a sort of literary anatomy, where we get a diagnosis of the writer's mind, made by himself at different levels and under a large variety of operating influences.

This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Critical and Political, Vol. 1 The essays here collected were written many years ago, but they are concerned with matters - such as the merits of great writers - which never grow old. It is on that ground I have thought it worth while reprinting them. In each case I have given the date of the earlier publication that any of their contem porary references may be understood. The prisoner who was asked if he had anything to say why sen tence should not be passed on him for the crime of which he had been convicted, said that he hoped his lordship would take into consideration the youth of his counsel. It would be foolish to claim that these essays were early essays, and therefore en titled to clement criticism. The judgments expressed were the opinions of a younger man than the writer of this preface, as the dates frequently show, but although the latter might alter some of the criticisms, he on the whole agrees with these more youthful utterances. He has to thank the manager of the Times for his permission to reproduce two of the essays con. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Moral, Political, and Literary, Vol. 1 of 2 Most of the principles, and reasonings, contained in this volume, were published in a work in three volumes, called A Treatise of Human Nature A work which the Author had projected before he College, and which he wrote and published not long after. 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.
