Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miscellaneous Essays and Discourses We may well suppose that the first feeling of Adam was a feeling of mystery. With the conviction, elementary in every mind, that there can be no effect without a cause; with the consciousness of his own inexplicable being; creation, in its original brightness, bursting at once upon his view, and indicating itself through all his senses; he must have felt that mystery enveloped himself and all that he beheld. Accordingly, "As new waked from soundest sleep," said he, "Soft on the flowery bank I found me laid, Straight toward heaven my wandering eyes I turned, And gazed awhile the ample sky. Thou sun, said I, fair light, And thou enlightened earth, so fresh and gray, And ye that live and move, fair creatures, tell, Tell, if ye saw, how came I thus, how here." That was a sublime moment - such an one as none of his descendants, under the deadening influence of the familiarity attendant on gradual perception, can ever enjoy.

This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 4 of 5 The next picture that strikes na is not a family-piece, but a battle-piece: deutsch-wagram, in the hot weather of 1809; whither Varnhagen, with a great change of place and plan, has wended, purposing now to be a soldier, and rise by fighting the tyrannous French. It is a fine picture; with the author's best talent in it. Deutsch-wagram village is filled with soldiers of every uniform and grade; in all manner of movements and employments; arch-duke Karl is heard fantasying for an hour on the pianoforte, before his serious generalissimo duties begin. The Marchfeld has its Mp, the Marchfeld is one great camp of many nations, - Germans, Hungarians, Italians, Mad shars; advanced sentinels walk steady, drill-sergeants bustle, drums beat; Austrian generals gallop, in blue-gray coat and red breeches, combining simplicity with conspicuousness. Faint on our southwestern horizon appears the Stephane thurm (saint-stephen's Steeple) of Vienna; south, over the Danube, are seen endless French hosts defiling towards as, with dust and glitter, along the hill-roads; one may hope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discourses and Essays Elsewhere we have spoken of the charge brought against the Church, not by her more reputable opponents, of her inferior morality. We venture to believe that no single human being who ever considered her claims, with the faintest genuine intention of submitting to her, should he find those claims to rest on justice and right reason, has ever been decided against submission by a frank conviction that in becoming a Catholic he would be accepting a lower rule of ethics. No student of her history and of that of the world, we are firmly convinced, has ever failed to arrive at the conclusion that her stand has consistently been on the side of good. Her vicissitudes have been great, her trials very many; and they would have been much less had she held the easy principles, the convenient laxity, the accommodating readiness to sacrifice justice for temporal, or selfish, advantage with which the ignorant and the vulgar-witted have credited her. In history she is seen, time and again, at variance with the mighty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Philip Lindsley, D.D, Vol. 3: Miscellaneous Discourses and Essays N 0 full and connected biography of Dr. Lindsley has been at tempted in these volumes. The life of a student and man of letters is, for the most part, an uneventful one - at least uneventful as to single outward acts of public and general interest. In the present instance it has been thought that the best memoir, as well as the most lasting monument of the author, is to be found in his writings - not in What others may say of him, now that he is gone, but in what his own living pen had left on record. The words of such a man are his deeds, and when these are fully laid before the reader, but little remains to the biographer. Under this impression, all that has been aimed at in these introductory notices has been to present a fair esti mate of his labours and influence in those fields to which his energies were devoted, and to furnish only so much, in the way of fact and incident, as might be needful to a right appreciation both of his writ ings and his character.

Download or read book Critical and Miscellaneous Essays Classic Reprint written by James Stephen and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Essays The day dreams on the subject of religious conversions, which they who list may hear on every side, are, like other dreams, the types of substantial realities. Though the workings of the Almighty hand are distinctly visible only to the omniscient eye, yet even our narrow faculties can often trace the movements of that perennial under-current which controls the sequences of human life, and imparts to them the character of moral discipline. In the compre hensive scheme of the Supreme Governor of the world for the progressive advancement of the human race, are com prised innumerable subordinate plans for the improvement of the individuals of which it is composed; and whether we conceive of these as the result of some preordained system, or as produced by the immediate interposition of God, we equally acknowledge the doctrine of Divine Providence, and refer to him as the author of those salutary revolutions of human character, of which the reality is beyond dispute. It is a simple matter of fact, of which these volumes afford the most conclusive proof, that, about the twenty-sixth year of his age, Mr. Wilberforce was the subject of such a change; and that it continued for half a century to give an altered direction to his whole system of thought and ac tion. Waiving all discussion as to the mode in which the divine agency may have been employed to accomplish this result, it is more to our purpose to inquire in what the change really consisted, and what were the consequences for which it prepared the way.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays and Discourses: With a Biographical Sketch a Portrait This is the first attempt to present to the public a comprehensive collection of the Essays and Discourses of Dr. P. C. Ray, the well known Indian chemist. Dr. Ray's discourses on Scientific topics and his researches in the field of Hindu Chemistry would by themselves form no negligible material for a volume of this kind. But his interests have by no means been confined to Hindu Chemistry alone. Education, social reform, industry, politics, indeed every aspect of India's material and moral progress has claimed his earnest attention and the papers collected in this volume testify to his manysided interests. Thus his statements before the Public Services and the Industrial Commissions, are full of practical suggestions for the advancement of Indian education and industries. His paper on "the Bengali Brain and and its misuse" and his address to the Indian National Social Conference at Calcutta which contain some; trenchant criticisms of the Hindu Social polity evince his deep interest in subjects relating to social reform. His handsome tributes to the services of eminent patriots like Ananda Mohan Bose and Dadabhai Naoroji and his generous appreciation of the life and life work of Sir William Wedderburn testify to the silent interest he has all along been taking in he political advancement of this country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Lectures, Addresses, Sermons, and Miscellaneous and Descriptive Pieces: Including a Discussion on Education OF the fact that of making many books there is no end we are fully conscious. Neither do we fondly seek to persuade ourselves that the present production is just the desideratum to fill a long felt want. Honored usage has prescribed that a book-maker furnish some apology for the innocuous vanity of appearing in print. When the enraptured eye of Dickens first rested on his fascinating effusions arrayed in the decoration of type, he attempted the novel performance of reading them, while standing upon his head; which freak Edmund Burke would doubtless define as an effort to live in an inverted order. We shall, probably, never be the sport of such strange ups and downs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
