Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Essays, on Important Subjects What little I have done I endeavoured to do as well, that is, as correct as I conhi, and it is no grief of heart to me. And I believe it wilt be no loss to my readers, that it is not with excellency of speech, not with en ticing words of man's wisdom, not in the words uhich man's wisdom teacheth, butl trust it is in those words which the Holy Ghost teacheth. 1 Cor. Ii. 1. 4. 13. Thereby commending what I have wrote, not to the skittish and wayward fancy, but to the conscience of every man in the sight of God, by a manifestation of the truth.

Download or read book Harvard Essays on Classical Subjects Classic Reprint written by Herbert Weir Smyth and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harvard Essays on Classical Subjects Such unity as these Essays aim to secure is of necessity the larger unity of sympathetic interpretation of certain aspects of the life and thought of classical antiquity. Nor was a closer coherence desirable if the truest independence of the contributors was to be preserved. Two of the Essays touch at a common point, though but for a moment; and this coincidence was not to be avoided, as it is not to be deprecated, since asceticism with its passion to subdue the turbulent senses, is inevitably linked with the yearning after immortality which possessed some of the most earnest minds of the ancient world. Regard for a more intimate association of parts might have made a book of essays on things Greek or on things Roman. But the less severe unity of the present volume is designed to bear witness, however inadequately, to the Harvard conviction that, for the purpose for which the ancient classics have their permanent and inalienable value, the literature and art of Greece and the literature and art of Rome are so intimately bound together that they may not suffer divorcement. We are all of us Greeks, we are all Romans. The Greeks are the creators of the one original literature of Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miscellaneous Essays I am afraid that some statements or explanations may be found repeated in different parts of the book. This is partly inevitable, owing to the occasional points of contact between the subjects of the first three Essays. Also they were written at different times and for different audiences or readers. So far as such repetitions are due to the latter cause, I have endeavoured to eliminate them. But if they have sometimes escaped my notice, I must apologize to my readers for the oversight. I have been compelled, however, sometimes to repeat arguments or explanations that have appeared already in previous Essays (e. G. Especially on the subject of Beatrice in Essay IV). This seemed inevitable, lest the subjects now in hand might appear to be incompletely treated, or indeed sometimes be almost unintelligible to those who might not have access to the earlier volumes of these Studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Essays Three centuries have passed over our heads since the time of which I am speaking, and the world 18 so changed that we can hardly recog nize it as the same. The secrets of nature have been opened out to us on a thousand lines; and men of science of all creeds can pursue side by side their common investigations. Catholics, Anglicans, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Calvinists, contend with each other in honorable rivalry in arts, and literature, and commerce, and industry. They read the same books. They study at the same academies. They have seats in the same senates. They preside together on the judicial bench, and carry on, without jar or difference, the ordinary business of the country.

Download or read book Essays on Education and Kindred Subjects Classic Reprint written by Herbert Spencer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Education and Kindred Subjects The profession of teaching has long been characterised by certain habitual convictions, which Spencer undertook to shake rudely, and even to deride. The first of these con victions is that all education, physical, intellectual, and moral, must be authoritative, and need take no account of the natural wishes, tendencies, and motives of the ignorant and undeveloped child. The second dominating conviction is that to teach means to tell, or show, children what they ought to see, believe, and utter. Expositions by the teacher and books are therefore the true means of education. The third and supreme conviction is that the method of educa tion which produced the teacher himself and the contem petary or earlier scholars authors, and publicists, must be the righteous and sufficient method. Its fruits demon strate its soundness, and make it sacred. Herbert Spencer, in the essays included in the present volume, assaulted all three of these firm convictions. Accordingly, the ideas on education which he put forth more than fifty years ago have penetrated educational practice very slowly particularly in England; but they are now coming to prevail in most civilised countries, and they will prevail more and more. Through him, the thoughts on education of Comenius, Montaigne, Locke, Milton, Rousseau, Pestalozzi, and other noted writers on this neglected subject are'at last winning their way into practice, with the modi fications or adaptations which the immense gains of the human race in knowledge and power since the nineteenth century Opened have shown to be wise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Essays on Oriental Painting Anyone with an extensive knowledge of our pictures cannot fail to discern this common characteristic of com position, namely, that the centre of a picture is not found in any Single individual Object, for the guiding principle of the synthesis is expressed in the mutual relations of all the Objects treated. In other words, in Japanese painting no serious attempt is made to give all-exclusive prominence to any one particular object, but, instead, the effect of the whole is considered the point of prime importance. Hence in the minds of our painters, not each and every portion of a picture need be accurate, but the picture as a whole should be microcosmically complete. Such is but the inevitable outcome of stress laid almost exclusively on subjective ideas. To verify the principles above stated, let me in the following sections deal with paintings under the three different subjects, viz.: 1. Human Figures; 2. Animals and Flowers; 3. Landscapes, showing each in its historic evolution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays and Treatises on Several Subjects, Vol. 2 Most of the principles, and reafonings, con tained in this volume, were publilhed in a work in three volumes, called A Treatye of Human Nature A work which the Author had projected before he left College, and which he wrote and publifhed not long after.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Social Subjects: From the Saturday Review Ence between man and man in points not easily got at, than how they conduct such a private matter as keeping a journal. The practice itself is simple enough, but the purposes for which it is undertaken, and the mode in which it is carried out, show the odd contrasts - the entire variance in aim and view - that may exist under much outward conformity. Something that must be done daily, and that a task of no absolute necessity, even if it occupy three or at most five minutes of every day, is a burden on time and method which we suspect the majority of men are not equal to. Everybody at some time of his life begins a journal; but because it exacts a certain punctuality, and because the trouble promises no immediate return, and because, too, people get tired of the seeming monotony of life - and the mere bare events of most lives have a way of looking very monotonous when written down - it is, we believe.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Literature: 1789-1877 IN bringing these Essays together I carry out the inten tion with which they were originally written. Xvithout forming a continuous study they circle around common thoughts and topics, and so in a measure belong to one another. The first three essays put in position some of the subjects and persons treated in detail in the later essays; there is therefore occasionally some repetition, the first essays saying in brief what others express more at large. I had intended to add to these introductory essays a fourth on the Mediaeval Revival, but I found that this great movement could not be viewed as seemed to me right without a more comprehensive survey than was possible in the present volume; and such an intro ductory essay happened not to be necessary in order to place in position any Of the subjects afterwards treated, for even Lamennais belongs (as Catholics Will probably be glad to admit) more to the democratic movement than to the Catholic revival. I have confined this volume to studies in English and French literature. It is my wish on a future occasion to follow up these essays with others treating of sub jects from the literature and thought Of Germany.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teacher Essays and Addresses on Education The papers of this volume fall into three groups, two of the three being written by myself. From my writings on education I have selected only those which may have some claim to permanent interest, and all but two have been tested by previous pub lication. Those of the first group deal with ques tions about which we teachers, eager about our im measurable art beyond most professional persons, never cease to wonder and debate: What is teaching? How far may it influence character? Can it be prao ticed on persons too busy or too poor to come to our class - rooms? To subjects of what scope should it be applied? And how shall we content ourselves with its necessary limitations? Under these diverse head ings a kind of philosophy of education is outlined. The last two papers, having been given as lectures and stenographically reported, I have left in their original colloquial form. A group of papers on Har vard follows, preceded by an explanatory note, and the volume closes with a few papers by Mrs. Palmer.. She and I often talked of preparing together a book on education. Now, alone, I gather up these frag mentsn. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
