Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters on Strategy, Vol. 2 of 2 I will gladly comply with your request to write more about Strategy and its technical branch, although I must confess to being surprised at your objections to my manner of dealing with the science which you say is open to attack from the point of deep and earnest study. Frederick the Great threw off to some extent the bonds which the "scientific" rules of pedants had placed on strategy; and another hard and fast system was ruthlessly destroyed by Napoleon's genius and drastic simplicity, which gave ear to sound reason alone. Only be can become master of an art who practises it under the guidance and example of other masters, and it is from the events which have been handed down to us by history, that I seek this guidance and example.

Download or read book Short Studies on Great Subjects Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by James Anthony Froude and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Studies on Great Subjects, Vol. 2 Ladies and gentlemen, -i have undertaken to speak to you this evening on what is called the Science of History. I fear it is a dry subject; and there seems, indeed, something incongruous in the very connection of such words as Science and History. It is as if we were to talk of the colour of sound, or the longitude of the rule - of-three. Where it is so difficult to make out the truth on the commonest disputed fact in matters passing under our very eyes, how can we talk of a Science in things long past, which come to us only through books? It often seems to me as if History was like a child's box of letters, with which we can spell any word we please. We have only to pick out such letters as we want, arrange them as we like, and say nothing about those which do not suit our purpose. I will try to make the thing intelligible, and I will try not to weary you; but I am doubtful of my success either way. First, however, I wish to say a word or two about the eminent person whose name is connected with this way of looking at History, and whose premature death struck us all with such a sudden sorrow. Many of you, perhaps, recollect Mr. Buckle as he stood not so long ago in this place. He Spoke more than an hour Without a note - never repeating himself, never wasting words.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From Rome, Vol. 2 of 2: On the Occasion of the cumenical Council, 1869-1870 I witnessed yesterday the assembling and the separating of the Council, the former as I stood on the Bridge of St. Angelo, the latter at the door of the Council Hall. There are those who think it undignified thus to look on, but it is necessary to sacrifice oneself sometimes. The Council is a fact of some importance, and deserves to be seen with the mind's eye, if not otherwise. The Fathers are now late to arrive, and are fast dropping off long before the sitting is over. At ten minutes to nine, under a most ungenial sky - not frost, because it rained, and little rain because it was so cold - half a mile of bishops and cardinals were rattling up with a roar of carriage-wheels; the walking bishops, primates, and patriarchs drawing up every half minute into the doorways to escape immolation. Long after noon I entered St. Peter's. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
