Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary and Historical Miscellanies The connexion between the mind and the body can never be explained. As yet, the first principles on which it depends, have not been discovered. Nature, in her mysterious operations, eludes the sagacity of the most careful observers. Her venerable form is con cealed by a veil, which no mortal has been permitted to raise. The first cause is that which hath been, which is, and which shall be, and which no man has compre hended. But we can notice the relation between one set of appearances and another, and may hope to be benefited by practical inductions from our Observations. By them we are led to regard the body, not merely as the temporary abode of the soul, but also as the instru ment by which knowledge is acquired and purposes executed. NO idea of the external world finds its way to the mind but through the senses; while the action of the internal organs excites the passions, modifies the operations of thought, and' imparts peculiarities to the moral nature.

As yet, the first principles on which it depends, have not been discovered. Nature, in her mysterious operations, eludes the sagacity of the most careful observers. Her venerable form is concealed by a veil, which no mortal has been permitted to raise. The first cause is "that which hath been, which is, and which shall be, and which no man has comprehended."

This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miscellanies, Literary and Historical, Vol. 2 of 2 IT is at last possible, by piecing together the letters in the possession of Captain Ernest Prety man, m.p., and Mr. Dickinson, Mayor of Bath and m.p. For Wells, to present the correspondence between Mr. Pitt and Lord Auckland with refer ence to Miss Eden; and this, by their kindness, I am now enabled to do. Mr. Dickinson, it may be mentioned, is the great-nephew of the Miss Eden in question, who afterwards became Lady Buckinghamshire. Parts of these papers have already been published by Lord Ashbourne, who had not, however, access to all the letters. And in any case there would be no need for reticence, for the episode is as historical as any affair of the kind, while it derives a peculiar interest from Pitt's persistent celibacy, as well as from the obscurity that overhangs his motives; for he gives no definite reason for his action.

Oh, a very long, dismal time of sickness and great discomforts, and many sad thoughts of all I had left, behind, and fears of all I was going to meet in the New England!

He can say, in the words of Bacon, that, to his understanding, he finds nothing in it contrary, or infectious to the state of religion, or manners; but rather, as he supposes, medicinable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Miscellanies The various papers of which the following collection is com posed, were most of them written some years since, and were all originally published - with many more, which I have not thought it desirable to reprint - in Household Words, and in the earlier volumes of All the Year Round. They were fortunate enough to be received with favour by the reader, at the period of their first appearance, and were thought worthy in many instances of being largely quoted from in other journals. After careful selection and revision, they are now collected in book form having been so arranged, in contrast with each other, as to present specimens of all the shorter compositions which I have contributed in past years to periodical literature.

This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literary Miscellany, or Selections and Extracts, Classical and Scientific; With Originals, in Prose and Verse: Miscellanies Admired as Mr. Shenstone is as a poet, his char acter, as a man of clear judgment, and deep pene tration, will best appear from his prose works. It is there we must search for the acuteness of his under standing, and his profound knowledge of the human heart. It is to be lamented, indeed, that some things here are unfinished, and can be regarded only as fragments: many are left as single thoughts, but which, like the sparks of diamonds, shew the rich ness of the mine to which they belong; or, like the foot of a Hercules, discover the uncommon strength, and extraordinary dimensions of the hero. I have no apprehension of incurring blame from any one, for preserving these valuable remains: they will dis cover to every reader, the author's sentiments on sev eral important subjects. And there can be very few, to whom they will not impart many thoughts, which they would never perhaps have been able to draw from the source of their own re ections.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 1 of 3: Literary and Religious The materials of which these three Volumes consist are derived for the most part from works published at intervals, from time to time, during a long period of years, which, as far as the Author is concerned, are, humanly speaking, now drawing to a close. He has employed the comparative leisure of a summer vacation in putting them together, with the hope, that, if they are of any value and are worth being preserved, they may thus perhaps acquire a permanence, which, in their separate form, they could hardly hope to obtain. In reviewing those portions of these Volumes, which refer to the religious and political condition and prospects of some foreign Countries, - especially France, Italy, and Germany, - the Author has recognized, not without feelings of regret, that the apprehensions he entertained when he wrote what is here published, have been too fully verified by events; and that providential opportunities then offered to those Countries of rearing up and consolidating the fabrics of National Institutions on the basis of Scriptural, Primitive, and truly Catholic Christianity, have almost passed away; it may be hoped, not irrecoverably.
