Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Classical Subjects I Have called this book 'Lectures, ' partly because a simple title of this kind would have been natural to the Greeks and Romans, partly because I could not devise one which would describe it more exactly. An old Oxford rhyme has been in my mind: 'Do not to many lectures go, For whether you do so or no, You'll find the substance of his notes Much better in the books he quotes' - 'much better, ' no doubt, intrinsically, but often scattered, and not very accessible, and sometimes too controversial and complicated to be of use to the student. The Professional Scholar will not find much, if anything, that is new to him in this volume. It is not to him that it is addressed: 'Persium non curo legere, Laelium Decumum volo.' This D. Laelius, Cicero says, was 'vir bonus et non inlitteratus, sed nihil ad Persium.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Considerations in Favour of Classical Studies: A Lecture, Delivered in the Irving Institute As you are about to enter upon a more advanced course' of classical study than you have hitherto pursued, I deem it proper to present you with a brief view of the important nature of this department of learning. There exists, as you are aware, in the minds of some persons a degree of prejudice against these pursuits, arising from the belief that they are of little or no utility. You have now made sufficient progress in them to be able to appreciate the arguments by which they are recommended; and I em persuaded that an examination of their merits will prove equally interesting and useful, and will Ope rate as an incentive to future exertion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Greek Language and Literature About to 'speak of the value of Grecian Lite rature, considered in itself, or compared with that of modern times and of the relative importance of classical and scientific studies I am sensible that I undertake no easy task. The difficulty of treating worthily a subject increases together with its importance, and in proportion too as a theme has become trite from frequent handling, it will be easy, indeed, to speak concerning it, but hard to say any thing that shall be new.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Lecture on the Classical Learning, Delivered Before the Convention of Teachers, and Other Friends of Education, Assembled to Form the American Institute of Instruction, August, 20, 1830 IN discussing the claims of classical learning, it is not my intention to revive the half-forgotten disputes in which the scholars of old arrayed themselves in contending parties, uh der the 'banners of ancient and of modern genius. The spirit which animated those violent times, is foreign from an occa sion like the present. The fanaticism which taught men to abuse and scorn each other for differences in literary opinion, and woman, in the person of a fair votary of the Muses, the ou ly one of her sex whom the French Academy has ever deign ed to eulogiz'e, 'to fix upon her opponent, Lamothe, because he ridiculed Homer's mythology, the gentle epithets 'cold, fiat, ridiculous, impertinent, grossly ignorant, prodd and senseless, ' and to remind him that Alcibiades boxed the ears of a rhetori' cian, because he had not Homer's works; this absurd fanati cism, it is far from my purpose to evoke. Yet it might well be matter of surprise, that the great masters of antiquity, whose works have stood the test of two thousand years, should, at this late day, be summoned before the tribunal of public opin ion, their merits closely scrutinized, questioned, doubted, and.

Download or read book A Companion to Classical Texts Classic Reprint written by F. W. Hall and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Companion to Classical d104s The more readable parts of this book have been delivered from time to time as lectures to the few among my pupils who care for such things. They are published, together with certain chapters which cannot claim to be easy reading, in the hope that the whole book will prove useful to a wider circle of students, - especially to those who, without wishing to become specialists in textual criticism, yet find that textual problems inevitably enter into their studies. Many people tend to regard textual criticism as a disease. But it is neither a disease nor a science, but simply the application of common sense to a class of problems which beset all inquirers whose evidence rests upon the authority of manuscript documents. And I shall be well content if I have succeeded in doing for the ordinary student of the classical and mediaeval writers what has been done so admirably for students of the New Testament by Sir Frederic Kenyon's Handbook to the d104ual Criticism of the New Testament and by Eberhard Nestle's Introduction to the d104ual Criticism of the Greek New Testament. The author of a manual of this kind is necessarily carried into many departments of learning where the credentials that he can exhibit are more than doubtful. Though I have endeavoured wherever possible to go back to the original authorities and have rarely quoted what I have not been able to verify, yet in a book which deals with so many questions of controversy and contains such a mass of references I am well aware that many errors may have escaped my notice.

Download or read book Mathematical Omnibus written by D. B. Fuks and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2007 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book consists of thirty lectures on diverse topics, covering much of the mathematical landscape rather than focusing on one area. The reader will learn numerous results that often belong to neither the standard undergraduate nor graduate curriculum and will discover connections between classical and contemporary ideas in algebra, combinatorics, geometry, and topology. The reader's effort will be rewarded in seeing the harmony of each subject. The common thread in the selected subjects is their illustration of the unity and beauty of mathematics. Most lectures contain exercises, and solutions or answers are given to selected exercises. A special feature of the book is an abundance of drawings (more than four hundred), artwork by an accomplished artist, and about a hundred portraits of mathematicians. Almost every lecture contains surprises for even the seasoned researcher.
