Book excerpt: Excerpt from Course of Lectures, Vol. 2 of 2: On Dramatic Art and Literature A: new epoch of French Tragedy begins with Voltaire, whose first appearance on the theatre, in his early youth, followed close upon the age of Louis the Fourteenth. I have already, in a general way, alluded to the changes and enlargements which he projected, and partly carried into execution. Cor neille and Racine may be said to have led a true artist's life: they were dramatic poets with their whole soul; their desire, as authors, was confined to that object alone, and all their studies were direct ed to the stage. But Voltaire wished to shine in every possible department; a restless vanity would not al low him to be satisfied with the attempt to attain perfection in any one walk of literature; and from the variety of subjects on which his mind was em.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of Life, and Philosophy of Language, in a Course of Lectures Tm fifteen Lectures on the Philosophy of Life are intended to give, as far as is possible, a clear and succinct exposition of the following subjects. The first five treat of the soul, 1, as the centre of consciousness: 2, as the centre of moral life: 3, as co - operating with mind in the acquisition of knowledge: 4, in its relation to nature: 5, in its relation to God. The next three investigate the laws of Divine Wisdom and Providence, as manifested in the system of Nature, the World of Thought, and the evidences of History. The subject-matter of the remaining seven is the unfolding of the spirit [or spiritual nature] of man, in consciousness and in science; in external life and its great social relations; in its strugle with the age; and in its course of restoration through the several grades of human development, until it arrives at the end and aim of perfection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures to Young Men: On Various Important Subjects Trans volume is the eldest-born of my books. It dates from 1844, and originally contained only the first seven Lectures. The Lectures were delivered on successive Sunday nights; the church was crowded during the series, - a thing that sel dom happened during my Western life. Indianapolis in 1844 contained about four thousand inhabitants, * and had not less than twelve churches of eight different denominations. The audiences of the Second Presbyterian Church, of which I was pastor, did not average five hundred in number during the eight years of my settlement. But five hundred was regarded as a large audience. The Lectures were written, each one during the week preced ing the day of its delivery. I well remember the enjoyment which I had in their preparation. They were children of early enthusiasm. I can see before me now, as plainly as then, the room which in our little ten-foot home served at once as parlor, study, and bedroom; and the writing-chair, the place by the window, and the skeleton bookcase, with a few books scattered on solitary shelves, like a handful of people in church on a rainy day.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures and Essays on Irish and Other Subjects This volume is invested with a mournful interest, from the fact of its being revised by the author in his sick room, if not in his sick bed. Some of its contents have already delighted thousands, as they are destined, we trust, to delight thousands and tens of thousands in the after time, when the bright spirit from which they emanated shall have winged its way to other spheres. They are among the latest flashes of a genius that may shine no more as once it shone - of a mind prostrated by much suffering, and darkened by much tribulation. Nevertheless, they will be found not unworthy of the brightest days of their author's earlier life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Parochial Lectures on English Poetry: Other Subjects The object of the following Lectures is to suggest a few principles calculated to illustrate that style of general literature which is in the present day fall ing so widely under the attention of youths of all classes. The Lectures have, some of them, been de livered as portions of a parochial plan under the view that the formation of literary taste in youth is an important part of the clergyman's vocation. Some of them appeared in a publication, called The Christian Student. If they should give any im pulse to the recognition of general literature as a part of the subject-matter of parochial life, and of the high vocation which the Church has in giving an elevated moral tone to general education, or if they should induce any to whom they are addressed to pursue kindred studies, the object of their publication.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Terms of Life: Sermons and Talks to College Students The sermons here included are all, with the exception of the unnamed fragment, substantially complete. The sermon on Liberty, the first one given in the Univer sity Chapel, is the only one not prepared specifically for the University. Its quality, however, is not different from all the rest. It should be noted that many of the lecture fragments are also sermon fragments. Those on Best and Immortality are not very dif ferent from the sermons as actually delivered; that on Prayer is the basis of his sermon on the same subject.

Download or read book The French Revolution and English Literature written by Edward Dowden and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The French Revolution and English Literature: Lectures Delivered in Connection With the Sesquicentennial Celebration of Princeton University The substance of this volume was embodied in lectures given in Trinity College, Cambridge, when I had the honor to hold the Clark Lecture ship in English Literature. On receiving the honor of an invitation from the authorities of Princeton University to deliver a series of lec tures in connection with the Sesqui-centennial Celebration, I revised my material and made some additions. It is the wish of those who organized and carried out that brilliant Celebra tion that these lectures should be published; and I am further encouraged to publication by the great kindness of many of my American fellow students, and by the generous welcome which I received from an American audience. I think of my days spent in the autumn of last year at that Old and distinguished seat of learning, which has contributed so much to the best life of the United States, with a feeling of happy gratitude. In these lectures I go over some ground which I have previously traversed; the point of View, perhaps, gives unity to the results of various studies. I do not attempt to prove a thesis. I have tried to enter in a disinterested way into the spirit of each writer who comes within the scope of my subject, and to let the meanings of the French Revolution, as they entered into English literature, expound themselves. To pre sent some important figures on a background of history - history of ideas rather than of events - has been my aim.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Death and the After-Life: Three Lectures I find myself somewhat embarrassed in speaking on subject which, though it is not a stranger to human hopes and aspirations, is nevertheless quite foreign to most people's - habits of thinking, opposed to their edu cational bias, and which conflicts with popular methods of reasoning on the resurrection. I find three classes of, persons who have read, and studied, and imfe'stigate'd'the truths of this discourse. Ou class of minds are prepared for many Spiritual things that I do not feel impressed to utter on this occasion. I am to address more especially a second class who have heard a large variety of Opinions expressed concerning this subject, and are favorably inclined towards it, yet who have no practical know ledge so far as the general question of immortality is concerned, and who are, therefore, in the rudiments of spiritual education respecting the processes of Death, and scenes in the After-life.

I cannot promise you any observations of so startling and arrestn -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.
