Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pamphlets and Sketches The half-dozen pieces comprised in this volume are given for the most part in the chronological order in which they originally appeared. The Letter upon the Political Crisis of 1834 had an extraordinary success at the time of its first publication, enjoying, besides this, the repute of having considerably influenced the General Election, which immediately afterwards led to a change of government. How it was that the "Confessions of a Water-Patient" came to be written at all may be here explained. Mr. Harrison Ainsworth having, in 1845, purchased the New Monthly Magazine, applied to Sir Edward Lytton, with whom he had long been on terms of intimacy, and who had himself been a former editor of that periodical, to aid his new enterprise with a contribution. In compliance with this request, these Experiences of the Water Cure were jotted down in the form of a letter addressed to Mr. Ainsworth, as editor of the New Monthly. Grateful for so welcome a contribution, the romancist of "Rookwood" begged his brother author's acceptance of two antique suits of armour, which still adorn the banqueting-hall at Knebworth. As for the "Letters to John Bull," which appeared from the press in 1851, they were the vindication of the writer's views as an agriculturist and a politician, or, as he expressed it by his signature, as a landlord and a labourer - views consistently maintained by him during seventeen years consecutively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pamphlets Nos; 1 to 25, Vol. 1 1. Importance and Significance of the Movement. - The national importance and significance of the adequate development of scientific methods and, in particular, of their application to industry is now generally recognised throughout the world, and the last few years have seen a remarkable increase in the efforts made to stimulate the increase and application of scientific knowledge. In an address delivered before the British Science Guild in April, 1917, Lord Sydenham pointed out that the war has had the effect of turning a strong searchlight upon the innermost workings of national life. "Our weakness and our potential strength stand plainly revealed. We can see how severely we have suffered, and must still suffer, from our neglect in the past: and if we strive to ascertain causes, we cannot fail to reach the conclusion that our lack of appreciation of all that science - using that term in its broadest sense - could have conferred upon us lies at the root of many present difficulties." In addition to the difficulties which have arisen in the course of the war as a result of absence of scientific knowledge and habits of thought, there is: another side which cannot be neglected. The question of reconstruction after the war is now occupying the minds of all thoughtful persons. National prosperity and financial stability can be maintained after the war only by increased productivity and trade. This implies the necessity for the application of the results of scientific research in the creation of new industries, processes, and methods, and the economic development of those which now exist. Among the European nations there is a great awakening to the national value of scientific research. The British Government has recently created a new Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, with a fund of over 1,000,000 at its disposal; a conjoint Board of Scientific Societies has been established at the instance of the Royal Society; an important and influential Committee on the Neglect of Science has taken up the question of scientific knowledge and training in the Public Services, at Oxford and Cambridge, and in the public schools; an Education Reform Council, comprising representatives of science, industry, and commerce as well as of education has been appointed; while various other organizations have taken up one or other branches of the subject of the development of science and its co-ordination with industry, education, and administration. In France a new national institution for scientific research on a large scale is projected as a result of action taken by the Paris Academy of Sciences.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latter-Day Pamphlets: In One Volume Strange language this for the year 1850, though it is familiar enough to-day, or rather it has only ceased to be so because the very success of its reproofs has now rendered them superfluous. It is not without a melancholy pleasure that one quotes it, if only as a relief from the general impression that the volume, with all its spirit and eloquence and caustic irony, leaves behind it - namely that the prophet's is one of the most perilous of all the profes sions, and that for turning the wisdom of the wise to foolishness there is nothing so disastrously efi'ective as the attempt to predict the mysterious course of the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sartor Resartus and Latter-Day Pamphlets Considering our present advanced state of culture, and how the Torch of Science has now been brandished and borne about, with more or less effect, for five-thousand years and upwards; how, in these times especially, not only the Torch still burns, and perhaps more fiercely than ever, but innumerable Rush-lights, and Sulphur-matches, kindled thereat, are also glancing in every direction, so that not the smallest cranny or doghole in Nature or Art can remain unilluminated, - it might strike the reflective mind with some surprise that hitherto little or nothing of a fundamental character, whether in the way of Philosophy or History, has been written on the subject of Clothes. Our Theory of Gravitation is as good as perfect: Lagrange, it is well known, has proved that the Planetary System, on this scheme, will endure forever; Laplace, still more cunningly, even guesses that it could not have been made on any other scheme. Whereby, at least, our nautical Logbooks can be better kept; and water-transport of all kinds has grown more commodious.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Series of Pamphlets But behold, it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall say unto him to whom he shall deliver the book, take these words which are not sealed, and deliver them to another, that he may show them unto the learned, saying read this, I pray thee. And the learned shall say, bring hither the book, and I will read them and now, because of the glory of the world, and to get gain, will they say this, and not for the glory of God. And the man shall say, I cannot bring the book, for it is sealed. Then shall the learned say, I cannot read it. Wherefore it shall come to pass, that the Lord God will deliver again the book and the words thereof, to him that is not learned; and the man that is not learned shall say, I am not learned. Then shall the Lord God say unto him, the learned shall not read them, for they have rejected them, and I am able to do mine own work; wherefore, thou shalt read the words which I shall give unto thee. Touch not the things which are sealed, for I will bring them forth in mine own due time; for I will show unto the children of men that I am able to do mine own work. Wherefore, when thou hast read the words which I have commanded thee, and obtained the witnesses which I have promised unto thee, then shalt thou seal up the book again, and hide it up unto me, that 1 may preserve the words which thou hast not read, until I shall see fit in mine own wisdom to reveal all things unto the children of men. For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever; and I work not among the children of men, save it be according to their faith.
