Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 2 of 3: Stories and Essays I pass over the dinner, which was doubtless very interesting to them, but very uninteresting to me, especially as I knew I was only stationed at the table to satisfy a scruple of society, and a dozen scruples of my precise relative. After the cloth was removed and the tea was brought up, they settled down to a regular evening at back-gammon, while I was left to amuse myself in a distant corner with my box of paints; and I did so by drawing highly-coloured caricatures of my aunt and her adorer. When I was tired of this sport, about nine o'clock at night. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Miscellanies Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by Harriet Martineau and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 1 of 2 The Religious Sentiment, in its early periods, may be weak or strong, steady or wavering but its operation is, in each case, imperfect. N ot having gone through the process of tribulation, experience, and hope, it cannot have so much of love in it as to make it, what it may afterwards become, the perpetual feast of the spirit. It has so much of fear as to induce it to bind itself strictly to forms and it alternates with other sentiments, instead of intermingling with them all. God is then the object of intermitting regards. Religion is then a yoke; easy and light in comparison with slavery to Chance and Passion; but still a yoke. This is the state of the child who hides his face in his pillow while relating to his mother the transgressions and self-conquests of the day. This is the state of the youth whose heart leaps up at the golden sunrise, but who lets the gorgeous moments pass away because he dares not indulge himself with them till he has gone through his form of prayer; on rising from which, he finds the glow departed alike from his spirit and from the sky.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Miscellanies, Vol. 2 of 2 The curious legend connected with the birth of this Adopted Son, and the facts relating to his extraordinary career in after life, are derived from the Records of the French Police of the period. In this instance, and in the instances of those other papers in the present collection which deal with foreign incidents and characters, while the facts of each narrative exist in print, the form in which the narrative is cast is of my own devising. If these facts had been readily accessible to readers in general, the papers in question would not have been reprinted. But the scarce and curious books from which my materials are derived, have been long since out of print, and are, in all human probability, never likely to be published again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 2 of 3 IN some of the treatises which make up this volume there are a few pages of bare outlines. They were intended to be fully clothed, orally, by the lecturer at the moment of delivery. Some readers may find fault with the editor because he has not expanded these outlines. His reply to all such is: his efforts to develop the author's meaning would have taken space from the author himself. It seemed best to publish one more rather than one less of the articles of Dr. Peck.

This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miscellanies, Literary and Historical, Vol. 2 of 2 Manifold are the statues of Burns, but of busts or statues taken from life there is not one. There is not even a east taken after death (though we have the cast of his skull), inestimably precious as it would be now. We have to some extent, therefore, to idealise our statues of Burns: though not so much so as in the case of that statue of Highland Mary which was erected the other day - a graceful tribute to a charming character, but one of whom we possess no likeness whatever. Still of Burns we have nothing but canvas, and canvas that is not wholly satisfactory, for the engraving (which was, after all, touched from life) always seems to me far more powerful and lifelike than the original painting - to give much more of the vigour of the face and the spirit flashing through the eyes. Skirving's head, again, refined and exquisite as it is, seems to me more delicate and less human than the man as we have him described by such eye-witnesses as Kirkpatrick Sharpe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 2 of 2: Chiefly Theological To a certain extent his teaching was a reform of theology. It could not have been this if it had been an attack from without; it was this, because it was a growth from within. That growth sloughed off many harmful excrescences and restored Christian doctrine to something nearer its original simplicity. And yet through his whole life Schleiermacher rejected ele ments of truth so important as the personal preexist ence and objective atonement of Jesus Christ, while God and immortality were conceived in so pantheistic a fashion that many calm critics have regarded him as an enemy to the Christian faith. To the student of philosophy and theology his positions are curiously interesting; to understand him is to understand the theology of our time. But he cannot be understood without a knowledge of his life and early surround ings; to these I therefore address myself, with the hope that they may help us to interpret his doctrine.

Upon hearing of the assault on his publisher, he lost no time in avowing the authorship of the offensive review, and in intimating, in accordance with the usage of the period, that his friend Mr. Hugh Fraser was prepared to receive a message. A hostile meeting was arranged the combatants met in a field in the Barnet Road; and three shots were exchanged, at the last fire Maginu's bullet grazing the collar of his adversary's coat, and the bullet of the latter striking the ground beside Maginn's boot. Upon this third ineffectual exchange of shots, the account runs, the seconds interfered, and the parties, bowing to each other, left the ground without explanation.
