Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scholar in a Republic: Address at the Centennial Anniversary of the Phi Beta Kappa of Harvard College, June 30, 1881 "Though a linguist should pride himself to have all the tongues that Babel cleft the world into, yet, if he had not studied the solid things in them, as well as the words and lexicons, he were nothing so much to be esteemed a learned man as any yeoman competently wise in his mother dialect only." - Milton. "I cannot hut think as Aristotle (lib. 6)did of Thales and Anaxagoras, that they may be learned but not wise, or wise but not prudent, when they are ignorant of such things as are profitable to them. For suppose they know the wonders of nature and the subtleties of metaphysics and operations mathematical, yet they cannot be prudent who spend themselves wholly upon unprofitable and ineffective contemplation." - Jeremy Taylor. "The people, sir, are not always right." "The people, Mr. Grey, are not often wrong." - Disraeli's "Vivian Grey." "Chains are worse than bayonets." - Douglas Jerrold. "Hadst thou known what freedom was, thou wouldst advise us to defend it not with swords but with axes." - Spartans to the Great King's Satrap.

Book excerpt: This is the text of a speech delivered to the Phi Beta Kappa Society at Harvard University. There are many of these 'honor' societies in America, all dedicated to excellence in the literary arts. In this speech, Wendell argues that educators should be agitators. They should look at society and pull it to pieces in order to see the flaws and set about putting them right through constant agitation. Wendell was once described as, 'a thorn in the side of complacency.'

Book excerpt: At the opening of this volume, suffragists hoped to speed passage of a sixteenth amendment to the Constitution through the creation of Select Committees on Woman Suffrage in Congress.

Download or read book Land and Liberalism written by Andrew Phemister and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irish land in the 1880s was a site of ideological conflict, with resonances for liberal politics far beyond Ireland itself. The Irish Land War, internationalised partly through the influence of Henry George, the American social reformer and political economist, came at a decisive juncture in Anglo-American political thought, and provided many radicals across the North Atlantic with a vision of a more just and morally coherent political economy. Looking at the discourses and practices of these agrarian radicals, alongside developments in liberal political thought, Andrew Phemister shows how they utilised the land question to articulate a natural and universal right to life that highlighted the contradictions between liberty and property. In response to this popular agrarian movement, liberal thinkers discarded many older individualistic assumptions, and their radical democratic implications, in the name of protecting social order, property, and economic progress. Land and Liberalism thus vividly demonstrates the centrality of Henry George and the Irish Land War to the transformation of liberal thought.
