Book excerpt: Excerpt from Political Literary Essays: 1908-1913 I have to thank the editors of The Edinburgh and Quarterly Reviews, The Nineteenth Century and After., and The Spectator for allowing the republication of these essays, all of which appeared originally in their respective columns. No important alterations or additions have been made, but I should like to observe, as regards the first essay of the series - on "The Government of Subject Races" - that, although only six years have elapsed since it was written, events in India have moved rapidly during that short period. I adhere to the opinions expressed in that essay so far as they go, but it will be obvious to any one who has paid attention to Indian affairs that, if the subject had to be treated now, many very important issues, to which I have not alluded, would have to be imported into the discussion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Political Literary Essays Some apology is perhaps necessary for the title given to this work. It is called Political and Literary Essays because I have thought it desirable to preserve the title which was given to the two volumes which preceded it. As a matter of fact, however, with the exception of a review of Sir Sidney Lee's Life of Shakespeare and perhaps of the Essay on "Lord Curzon's War Poems," the subjects treated are wholly political. The greater portion of them deal, either directly or indirectly, with matters connected with the all-absorbing question of the day - the War. On this subject I cannot pretend to have said anything beyond what has been already stated, in different language, by other politicians and journalists, many of whom can speak with greater authority than myself. But, having recently been debarred by ill-health from taking any part in political affairs in other spheres of action, it has interested me to write these Essays, and it may perhaps interest some few of my countrymen to read them. I have, therefore, ventured to republish them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Literary, Moral and Political Some people are subject to a certain delicacy of passion, which makes them extremely sensible to all the accidents of life, and gives them a lively joy upon every prosperous event, as well as a piercing grief, when they meet with misfortunes and adversity. Favours and good offices easily engage their friendship while the smallest injury provokes their resentment. Any honour or mark of distinction elevates them above measure; but they are as sensibly touched with contempt. People of this character have, no doubt, more lively enjoyments, as well as more pungent sorrows, than men of cool and sedate tempers but, I believe, when everything is balanced, there is no one, who would not rather be of the latter character, were he entirely master of his own disposition.

Among those to whom the subject is familiar its inequalities are sufficiently notorious but for the benefit of that numerous class to whom they are known only as anomalies and irregularities of no great importance and which it would be a pity to disturb for the sake of a theoretic symmetry, it is well that attention should from time to time be drawn to them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Old Master and Other Political Essays Why has no one ever written on the art of academic lecturing and its many notable triumphs? In some quarters new educational canons have spoken an em phatic condemnation of the college lect ure, and it would seem to be high time to consider its value, as illustrative of an art about to be lost, if not as exemplary of forces to be retained, even if modified. Are not our college class-rooms, in being robbed of the Old-time lecture, and getting instead a science-brief of data and bibliog raphy, being deprived also of that literary atmosphere which once pervaded them? I've are unquestionably gaining in thor oughness; but are we gaining in thought fulness? We are giving to many youths an insight, it may be profound, into spe cialties; but are we giving any of them a broad outlook?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays Moral, Political, and Literary, Vol. 1 of 2 Most of the principles, and reasonings, contained in this volume, were published in a work in three volumes, called A Treatise of Human Nature A work which the Author had projected before he left College, and which he wrote and published not long after. But not finding it successful, he was sensible of his error in going to the press too early, and he cast the whole anew in the following pieces, where some negligences in his former reasoning and more in the expres sion, are, he hopes, corrected. Yet several writers, who have honoured the Author's Philosophy with answers, have taken care to direct all their batteries against the juvenile work, which the Author never acknowledged, and have affected to triumph in any advantages, which, they imagined, they had obtained over it: A practice very contrary to all rules of candour and fair-dealing, and a strong instance of those polemical artifices, which a bigotted zeal thinks itself author ised to employ. Henceforth, the Author desires, that the following Pieces may alone be regarded as containing his philosophical sentiments and principles.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Historical and Biographical, Political, Social, Literary, and Scientific Many a broad plain shall it have traversed that is still unbroken from the waste, - many a moral wilderness on Which the Sun of Righteousness has not yet arisen. Nearly eighteen and a half centuries shall have elapsed since the shepherds first heard the midnight song in Bethlehem, - Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, good-will to the children of men. And yet the coming year shall pass, in its first visit, over prisons, and gibbets, and penal settlements, and battle-fields on which the festering (lead moulder unburied; it will see the shotted gun and the spear and the crease and the mur dering tomahawk, slaves in their huts, and captives in their dungeons. It will look down on uncouth idols in their temples; worshippers of the false prophet in their mosques; the Papist in his confessional; the Puseyite in his stone allegory; and on much idle and bitter controversy among those holders of the true faith whose proper work is the conversion of the world. But the years shall pass, and a change shall come: the sacrifice on Calvary was not offered up in vain, nor in vain bath the adorable Saviour conquered, and ascended to reign as King and Lord over the nations. The kingdoms shall become his kingdoms, the people his people. The morning rises slowly and in clouds, but the dawn has broken and it shall shine forth more and more, until the twilight shadows shall have dispersed and the sulphurous fogs shall have dissipated, and all shall be peace and gladness amid the blaze of the perfect day.

Download or read book Some Authors written by Walter Raleigh and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Authors: A Collection of Literary Essays, 1896 1916 We know hardly anything of the intimate life of Boccaccio except what he has told us, and almost all that he has told us is presented to us under the guise of fiction. Was he speaking of himself? Here enter the two eternal schools of literary criticism with their tedious controversy. The early romances and poems of Boccaccio - the Filocolo, the Filostrato, the Teseide, the Ameto, the Amorosa Visione, the Fiammetta, the Ninfale Fiesolano - are all romances, poems, and allegories dealing with love; all point to a loveaffair which reaches the summit of happiness and is then broken by desertion and separation. There was only one love-story, it seems, which interested Boccaccio; what wonder if it was his own? And his own, so far as we have independent knowledge of it, corresponds with the love-story of the romances and poems. The Filostrato, in its dedication to Fiammetta, asserts the identity: 'You are gone suddenly to Samnium, and ... I have sought in the old histories what personage I might choose as messenger of my secret and unhappy love, and have found Troilus, son of Priam, who loved Cressida. His miseries are my history. I have sung them in light rhymes and in my own Tuscan, and so when you read the lamentations of Troilus and his sorrow at the departure of his love, you shall know my tears, my sighs, my agonies; and if I vaunt the beauties and the charms of Cressida, you will know that I dream of yours.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the tradition of the political essay with this brilliant anthology. David Bromwich is one of the most well-informed, cogent, and morally uncompromising political writers on the left today. He is also one of our finest intellectual historians and literary critics. In Writing Politics, Bromwich presents twenty-seven essays by different writers from the beginning of the modern political world in the seventeenth century until recent times, essays that grapple with issues that continue to shape history—revolution and war, racism, women’s rights, the status of the worker, the nature of citizenship, imperialism, violence and nonviolence, among them—and essays that have also been chosen as superlative examples of the power of written English to reshape our thoughts and the world. Jonathan Swift, Edmund Burke, Henry David Thoreau, Harriet Taylor, Abraham Lincoln, George Eliot, W. E. B. Du Bois, Mohandas Gandhi, Virginia Woolf, Martin Luther King, and Hannah Arendt are here, among others, along with a wide-ranging introduction.
