Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remarks on the Use and Abuse of Some Political Terms Lastly, it is a commonplace remark that authors are not always the best judges of the comparative excellence of their own works, and in this case there seem to be reasons which may well justify the preference which the public has certainly shown for the earlier and slighter treatise over the more mature and elaborate one. It is not unlikely to have been felt by many readers of the 'methods of Observation' that it is calculated to set public men on a false scent by encouraging premature and exaggerated expectations from inquiries into the laws of causation in politics; the fact being that in our present state of knowledge, and in any state that we are likely to attain for a long time to come, the difference between a good and a bad statesman depends far more upon the power and determination to get at what we call the rights of a case, to see how the elementary axioms of morality apply to a complicated state of facts, and to act and induce others to act accordingly, than upon their respective degrees of success, very slight at the best, in predicting specific consequences. The treatise now under considera tion, professing as it does to be a contribution only to one subordinate but indispensable object, namely, the forma tion of a convenient and consistent political terminology, is at least open to no objection on this score; its utility is quite independent of the truth or falsehood of any poli tical theory, and is undeniable so far as it goes. On this head I have nothing to add to the author's own intro ductory observations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remarks on the Use and Abuse of Some Political Terms This book was the first, or nearly the first, literary attempt of its distinguished author, having been published by him in 1832, at a time when he was only 26 years old. He lived till 1863, combining eminent services to the State with most remarkable literary activity, in the course of which, however, he never thought fit to revise and republish this production of his early manhood, nor does it appear to have reached a second edition. No mention of it occurs in his published letters; but as the same may be said of all but one or two of his numerous writings, no inference could be drawn from this alone as to his mature judgment respecting it. It is a more significant fact that, in his much later and more elaborate work on the 'Methods of Observation and Reasoning in Politics,' he not only never refers to the earlier treatise in places where it would have been natural for him to do so, but incorporates a considerable portion of its matter, in a condensed form and stripped of the illustrations, in a single chapter, entitled 'The Technical Language of Polities'; a proceeding which certainly conveys the impression that he either wished or expected the 'Use and Abuse' to be speedily forgotten.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Politics and the English Language, the second in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell takes aim at the language used in politics, which, he says, ‘is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind’. In an age where the language used in politics is constantly under the microscope, Orwell’s Politics and the English Language is just as relevant today, and gives the reader a vital understanding of the tactics at play. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times
