Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mutual Criticism Criticism is no new thing under the sun. It is at least as old as art, literature and public life. The writers, artists and orators of early Greece and Rome felt its power. The' authors whose works now constitute the classics of English litera ture ran its gauntlet as truly as any Bohemian of our time. The terrible castigations which public men receive to-day are not more severe than those administered in the days of Demosthenes and Cicero. Only Criticism, calling to its aid every modern means of communication, has become more omnipresent. But mutual criticism systematized as a means of culture - is a new institution, and of such value, in the Opinion of those who have most thoroughly tested it, that its origin, philosophy, manner of application and results, deserve to be more gener ally known.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cobwebs of Criticism I N the midst of a fair country there stood an exceeding high and holy mountain whereon the sun never set, but parleyed with it through all ages of ages, from the dawn of morning light over the moorlands till the shadows died along them at eve. And on the summit of this great steepness there was a fountain, and the sun and the skies were mirrored in its waters, and he that drank thereof might never die. And multitudes came from the uttermost parts of the earth to climb the steepness, and drink of the spring and live for ever. Some of them that came were in tattered mantles, and the food whereon they lived was bread and water; and some were in fine raiment and lived sumptuously but all turned their steps upward to where the mountain kissed the sky. And in every age the few strong men who adventured so far attained the summit but the sides of the mountain were hard and rugged and many fell by the way; and where each man fell, there they buried him, and at the foot were the graves of the many who had fallen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Abridgment of Elements of Criticism In the next place, delicacy of taste tends not less to invigorate the social affections, than to moderate those that are selfish. To be convinced of that tendency, we need only reflect that delicacy of taste necessarily heightens our feeling of pain and pleasure; and of course our sympathy, which is the capital branch of every social passion. Sympathy invites a communication of joys and sorrows, hopes and fears: such exercise, soothing and satisfactory in itself, is necessarily productive of mutual good-will and affection.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Fable for Critics You have watched a child playing - in those won drous years when belief is not bound to the eyes and the ears, and the Vision divine is SO clear and unmarred, that each baker of pies in the dirt is a hard? Give a knife and a shingle, he fits out a fleet, and, on that little mud-puddle over the street, his fancy, in purest good faith, will make sail round the globe with a puff Of his breath for a gale, will Visit, in barely ten min utes, all climes, and do the Columbus-feat hundreds Of times. Or, suppose the young poet fresh stored with delights from that Bible Of childhood, the Arabian Nights, he will turn to a crony and cry, Jack, let's play that I am a Genius Jacky straightway makes Alad din's lamp out Of a stone, and, for hours, they enjoy each his own supernatural powers. This is all very pretty and pleasant, but then suppose our two urchins have grown into men, and both have turned authors, -one says to his brother, Let's play we're the American somethings or other, say Homer or Sophocles, Goethe or Scott (only let them be big enough, no matter what).

For many years they received from scholars about as much attention as if they had been once, casually, mentioned by Pausanias. Sud denly, within succeeding fortnights, there were paid to them two lengthy and alto gether independent visits Of inquiry. It seemed natural, as Mr. Grundy has explained, that the publication of the results of these two visits should also, in the first instance, be Simultaneous. The work of mutual criticism might be left to come later. Our first articles therefore appeared, side by side, in the April number of the Journal of Hellenic Studies, published in September, and Mr. Grundy has now Opened the dis cussion in the Classical Rexiew for November with a courteous criticism of my position. He has explained clearly the many import ant points on which from the first we were agreed. If I seem in my answer to be over polemical, it is only due to the fact that there is no Object in again going over these points of agreement. I have only to state clearly from my point of view Where we differ, and Why. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Higher Criticism: An Address Nearly half a century later there arose Ferdinand Christian Baur, the originator of the Tubingen School, who caught much of his inspiration as a scholar and critic from Eichhorn, and was accounted by his con temporaries a man of exceptional gifts and attain ments. Like Eichhorn he denied miracles. Assum ing the impossibility of any departure from natural law, he entered, only to vitiate, the whole field of his research. He created theological distinctions in the Epistles of Paul and of Peter, which were the creation of his own fertile brain, deprecated the supernatural element of both, and pronounced the religious zeal of great leaders of religious thought simply the fervor of speculation and the pride of Opinion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Criticism But we are not bound down to this succession by any law of necessity the God of nature offers it to us, in order to advance our happiness; and it is suflicient, that he hath enabled us to carry iton in a natural course; Nor has he made our task either disa greeable or difficult on the contrary, the transition is sweet and easy, from corporeal pleasures to the more refined pleasures of sense; and no ess so, from these to the exalted pleasures of mo rality and religion. We stand therefore e d in honour, as well as interest, to second the purposes of nature, y cultivating the pleasures of the eye and ear, those especially that require extraor dinary culture, ' such as arise from poetry, pain sculpture, mu sic, gardening; and architecture. This especial y is the duty of the opulent, who have leisure to improve their minds and t eir feelings. The fine arts are contrived to give pleasure to the eye and the ear, disregarding the inferior senses. A taste for these arts is a plant that grows naturally in many soils; but, without culture, scarce to perfection in any soil: it is susceptible of much refinement; and is, by proper care, greatly improved. In this re spect, a taste in the fine arts goes hand in hand with the moral sense, to which indeed it is nearly allied: both of them discover what is right and what is wrong; fashion, temper, and education have an influence to vitiate both, or to preserve them pure and un tainted: neither of them are arbitrary nor local: being rooted in human nature, and governed by principles common to all me The design of the present undertaking, which aspires not to mo rality, is, to examine the sensitive branch of human nature, to trace the objects that are naturally reeable, as well as those that are naturally disagreeable and byatiese means to discover, if we can, what are the genuine principles of the fine arts. The man who aspires to be a critic in these' arts must pierce still deeper: he must acquire a clear perception of what objects are lofty, what low what proper or improper, what manly, and what mean or trivial. Hence a foundation for reasoning upon the taste of any individual, and for passing sentence upon it: where it is conforma ble to principles, we can pronounce with certainty that it is cor rect; otherwise, that it is incorrect, and perhaps whimsical. Thus the fine arts, like morals, become a rational science and, like morals, may be cultivated to a high degree of refinement.
