Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Throne of Eloquence: Great Preachers, Ancient and Modern Dear Mr. Spurgeon, - In inscribing this volume to you, permit me to say that I am simply fulfilling the affectionately expressed wish of my dear husband. You will perhaps remember that nearly twenty years since he had the pleasure and honour to deliver to your students a series of lectures on the Vocation of the Preacher, which subsequently took shape in a somewhat bulky volume, entitled "Lamps, Pitchers, and Trumpets," the dedication of which you were kind enough to accept. But earlier than this, and some thirty years ago, he published anonymously "The Lamps of the Temple," which you may have seen, and in which an exceedingly appreciative and warmly eulogistic paper on one Charles Haddon Spurgeon, then just emerging into fame, had the honour to present, I believe, the first prescient forecast of his subsequently great and successful career. But, before the "Lamps of the Temple," there was a little volume, the parent of all his succeeding ones on this subject, and which he published under the modest and somewhat pathetic "nom-de-plume" of "L'Agneau Noir."

Download or read book Garden of Eloquence Shuoyuan written by Liu Xiang and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2022-01-16 with total page 1353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 17 BCE the Han dynasty archivist Liu Xiang presented to the throne a collection of some seven hundred items of varying length, mostly quasi-historical anecdotes and narratives, that he deemed essential reading for wise leadership. Garden of Eloquence (Shuoyuan), divided into twenty books grouped by theme, follows a tradition of narrative writing on historical and philosophical themes that began seven centuries earlier. Long popular in China as a source of allusions and quotations, it preserves late Western Han views concerning history, politics, and ethics. Many of its anecdotes are attributed to Confucius’s speeches and teachings that do not appear in earlier texts, demonstrating that long after Confucius’s death in 479 BCE it was still possible for new “historical” narratives to be created. Garden of Eloquence is valuable as a repository of items that originally appeared in other early collections that are no longer extant, and it provides detail on topics as various as astronomy and astrology, yin-yang theory, and quasi-geographical and mystical categories. Eric Henry’s unabridged translation with facing Chinese text and extensive annotation will make this important primary source available for the first time to Anglophone world historians.
