Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures and Essays, Vol. 1 of 2 The greater part of the following pages consists of oral addresses, delivered in mixed and popular assemblies. The author, in giving them to the press, acts upon a desire expressed in various directions to see them in this form; and if they shall be read with a portion of the kindness with which they were heard, the author will be content. He is clearly aware, that they have, in full measure, the faults that mark the class of compositions to which they belong, but he trusts that they are not wholly wanting in some of the characteristic merits of such compositions. The author does not presume to attribute any permanent or critical value to these pages; yet to the author, personally, they have a greater value, though of another kind; they call up hours passed in living communion with his audiences; memories of generous sympathies, of hospitable bounties, of friendly encouragements, of general regard, which he would scarcely exchange for the proudest merely literary reputation.

Download or read book Lectures and Essays Classic Reprint written by Henry Nettleship and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures and Essays Mr. Nettleship's intellectual activity expressed itself in three forms, all marked by fine literary taste and judgement, (1) As a Latin scholar he was concerned peculiarly with Vergil and Latin lexicography, and in dealing with these subjects he paid especial attention to grammarians and glossaries. By tracing the sources and establishing the relations of writers like Festus, Nonius, Servius, Gellius, he hoped to recover the earliest text and interpretation of Vergil and the vocabulary of republican and Augustan Latin.(2) But in pursuing these researches he always kept in view the ultimate literary end, and he devoted many essays and lectures to the appreciation of the Aeneid, the Satura, and other Latin literature. His most characteristic work was, perhaps, literary criticism, and the fine taste and wide sympathy which went with it led him (3), especially in his later years, to write and lecture on educational or philosophical topics unconnected with Latin scholarship. The present volume contains all Mr. Nettleship's scattered writings on Latin literature and on general subjects - that is, all that comes under the second and third classes enumerated, so far as these contributions were not included in his former volume of Lectures and Essays issued in 1885.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Lectures on 'the Essays and Reviews': Delivered in Various Places, and Addressed to the Common People Certain divines have fastened on some things hard to be understood, and have turned them into positive and absolute absurdities. These divines are ministers of a Church whose Articles are pre-eminently Protestant - whose martyrs and reformers have been among the most illustrious. No impartial person can fail to recognize great piety in many of her Bishops, great learning in many of her presbyters. The Essays and Reviews do not contain Church of England doctrine. The book, however, has become not celebrated, for that belongs to excellence, but pre-eminently notorious. Unitarian ministers are reading it from their pulpits, and boasting that the Church of England is coming over to them. The Bishops of that Church have met to consider, and as a body have condemned it. They have unanimously denounced the book; it would seem also to be their duty to depose the writers of it.

This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the History of Jesus Christ, Vol. 2 of 2 We have already noticed the remarkable occurrences which happened while Christ was on the road to Jerusalem. To-day, we behold him arrived there, and treated in a manner that fully justified his delay. After he had suffered his brethren to go away without him, under the impression, that he might, perhaps, not come at all; and after he had sent the seventy disciples through all the country, and they had diminished materially his company, and his publicity; we may suppose he sent forward his twelve Apostles, to keep the feast according to the law, and then lingered on the road, till the Jews were in the midst of the feast. At length Jesus arrived, and we have now to notice, I. His appearance in the temple. The crowd were probably excited to talk about him, by seeing his brethren there; and when these were questioned, whether their relative would be at the feast, they probably said that they had tried to persuade him, but in vain. This was all the answer that could be given to the question, " Where is he?" 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 Delivered in America in 1874 Reverence for age, at least so it has long seemed to me, reverence for age, I say, is a fair test of the vigour of youth; and, conversely, insolence toward, the old and the past, whether in individuals or in nations, is a sign rather of weakness than of strength. And the cause, I think, is this. The rich and strong young natures, which feel themselves capable of original thought and work, have a corresponding respect for those who, in the generations gone by, have thought and worked as they hope to do hereafter. And this temper, understand me, so far from being servile, or even merely conservative, usually accompanies true independence of spirit. The young athlete, like the young race-horse, does not despise, but emulate, his sire; even though the old victor be long past his prime.

Book excerpt: "There is nothing like it on the market...no others are as encyclopedic...the writing is exemplary: simple, direct, and competent." —George W. Cobb, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics and Statistics, Mount Holyoke College Written in a direct and clear manner, Classic Topics on the History of Modern Mathematical Statistics: From Laplace to More Recent Times presents a comprehensive guide to the history of mathematical statistics and details the major results and crucial developments over a 200-year period.

Subsequently, the second part introduces 20th century statistical developments including work from Karl Pearson, Student, Fisher, and Neyman. Lastly, the author addresses post-Fisherian developments. Classic Topics on the History of Modern Mathematical Statistics: From Laplace to More Recent Times also features: A detailed account of Galton's discovery of regression and correlation as well as the subsequent development of Karl Pearson's X2 and Student's t A comprehensive treatment of the permeating influence of Fisher in all aspects of modern statistics beginning with his work in 1912 Significant coverage of Neyman–Pearson theory, which includes a discussion of the differences to Fisher’s works Discussions on key historical developments as well as the various disagreements, contrasting information, and alternative theories in the history of modern mathematical statistics in an effort to provide a thorough historical treatment Classic Topics on the History of Modern Mathematical Statistics: From Laplace to More Recent Times is an excellent reference for academicians with a mathematical background who are teaching or studying the history or philosophical controversies of mathematics and statistics.
