Book excerpt: Excerpt from Self-Taught Men: A Series of Biographies for the Young N the history of this, as of other countries, previous to the great discovery of printing, learning, and all the refined and useful arts, were exclusively confined to a distinct class, and beyond its exclusive pale all efforts at knowledge or intellectual elevation were absolutely impossible. The gradual extension of learning by the printing-press, and its perfect enfranchisement by means of our free religious and political institutions, have produced a total change in the means of access to knowledge. Intelligent perseverance and industry may now sur mount ahnost every obstacle arising from humble birth and limited opportunities; and we are accordingly familiar, in the history of our most distinguished men, with instances of the greatest difficulties overcome, and the highest ranks of learning, genius, and social position achieved, by those who started surrounded by all the disadvantages of a humble sphere.

This book was released on 2018-02-17 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Young Man's Aid to Knowledge, Virtue, and Happiness I fear that the grave subjects will demand a more severe attention than some will wish to give, and that the secular topics may by others be deemed unneces sarily minute and trifling. As to the grave subjects, their nature demands a serious and earnest attention as to the lighter and more secular topics, though they include many particulars in themselves trifling, yet they have much to do in completing the character and in promoting a man's usefulness. I have endeavored to say nothing which is not of sufficient importance to be said in a work like this, addressed to young men. The reader will perceive that I have not aimed at literary beauty it has been my simple design to ex bibit important truth so clearly as not to fail of being understood. If an obscure or ambiguous sentence shall be found on these pages, it will not be because the writer has not endeavored to avoid it - some times, perhaps, at the expense of rhetorical taste.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Young Man's Questions The character of this little book is clearly enough indicated by its title and the table of contents. Very probably the ideals which it maintains will be distasteful to some. They will say that it cramps pleasure and narrows life. This is a mistake. This little book is written in the interests of freedom and the largest life. Its counsel to young men is to stand fast in the liberty with which Christ has made men free, and to refuse enslavement under any yoke of bondage. Its appeal to them is the appeal of Paul to Timothy: No soldier on service entangleth himself in the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who en rolled him as a soldier. And if also a man contend in the games he is not crowned except he have contended lawfully. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book On Self Culture written by John Stuart Blackie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Self-Culture: Intellectual, Physical, and Moral, a Vade Mecum for Young Men and Students Thinking first, and plenty to think about, and then ask the logician to teach you to scrutinise with a nice eye the process by which you have arrived at your conclusions. In such fashion there is no doubt that the study of logic may be highly beneficial. But as this science, like mathematics, has no real contents, and merely sets forth in order the universal forms under which all thinking is exercised, it must always be a very barren affair to attempt obtaining from pure logic any rich growth of thought that will bear ripe fruit in the great garden of life. One may as well expect to make a great patriot - a Bruce or a Wallace - of a fencing master, as to make a great thinker out of a mere logician. So it is in truth with all formal studies. Grammar and rhetoric are equally barren, and bear fruit only when dealing with materials given by life and experience. A meagre soul can never be made fat, nor a narrow soul large, by studying rules of thinking. An intense vitality, a wide sympathy, a keen observation, a various experience, is worth all the logic of the schools; and yet the logic is not useless it has a regulative, not a creative Virtue it is useful to thinking as the study of anatomy is useful to painting; it gives you a more firm hold of the jointing and articulation of your framework but it can no more produce true knowledge than anatomy can produce beau tiful painting. It performs excellent service in the exposure of error and the unveiling of sophistry but to proceed far in the discovery of important truth, it must borrow its moving.
