The enumeration of the titles of these works shows their essential character. They are chie y, as they are represented to be, contributions to His tory but under this modest title they exhibit the genuine elements of the true historian: for Dr. Hawks, though a consummate rhetorician in the pulpit, was a close, accurate, laborious student in the closet, and thought no labour too great to be expended upon original inquiry and the critical examination of the facts requisite for all historical composi tion worthy the name. It is worthy to note, in our estimate of the man, the self - denial with which he immured himself in recondite studies, seldom pursued with the same avidity by men of his ardent temperament and capacity for active life.

This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Tribute to the Memory of the Rev. Francis L. Hawks, D.D., LL. D The following scene will serve to illustrate the character of both husband and wife. The Court is in session. The Judge has decided against Mr. Hawks' client. He leaves the Court in disgust, goes home, throws his hat in one direction, his green bag in another, paces the floor rapidly, abusing Judge, Jury, and Counsel. The wife sits by silently, occasionally heaving a sigh in the pauses of the storm. After his wrath is pretty well spent. A gentle voice is heard, saying, 'frank.' No attention is paid to it. Again is heard, 'come here, Frank, ' 'come sit by me.' With some reluctance, he complies. An arm is 'gently thrown around him; and in kindest, softest tones, he is asked, 'frank. Do you know what you have been saying for the last fifteen minutes 2' 'yes, Emily, why should I not know it no, Frank, you don't know what you have been saying. Do you know that you called Judge R. By such and such names 'no I didn't, Emily.' 'yes, you did, Frank; and do you know that you spoke of lawyer W. In the most abusive manner Surely not, Emily.' And do you know that you called the Jury a pack of fools Is it pos sible, Emily, that I thus gave way to my violent temper 2' He would then lay his head in her lap, shed tears of sincere repentance, and beg her to pray for him. Wonderful man! Who, while he could enchain Courts, Legislatures, and Councils of the Church, by his irresistible elocution, yet found it hard, at times, to chain down his own fiery spirit! I do not feel able, at present, to give any lengthy and connected sketch of Dr. Hawks' character; but hope you maybe able to form a pretty correct estimate of what he was, both in temper, disposition, and as an accomplished Speaker, from the little that I have written. Of his various writings and labors for the Church of Christ, I regard you as a more competent witness than myself. I hope that what I have now written will, in a measure, meet your request.

Download or read book Luxury Arts of the Renaissance written by Marina Belozerskaya and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2005-10-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today we associate the Renaissance with painting, sculpture, and architecture—the “major” arts. Yet contemporaries often held the “minor” arts—gem-studded goldwork, richly embellished armor, splendid tapestries and embroideries, music, and ephemeral multi-media spectacles—in much higher esteem. Isabella d’Este, Marchesa of Mantua, was typical of the Italian nobility: she bequeathed to her children precious stone vases mounted in gold, engraved gems, ivories, and antique bronzes and marbles; her favorite ladies-in-waiting, by contrast, received mere paintings. Renaissance patrons and observers extolled finely wrought luxury artifacts for their exquisite craftsmanship and the symbolic capital of their components; paintings and sculptures in modest materials, although discussed by some literati, were of lesser consequence. This book endeavors to return to the mainstream material long marginalized as a result of historical and ideological biases of the intervening centuries. The author analyzes how luxury arts went from being lofty markers of ascendancy and discernment in the Renaissance to being dismissed as “decorative” or “minor” arts—extravagant trinkets of the rich unworthy of the status of Art. Then, by re-examining the objects themselves and their uses in their day, she shows how sumptuous creations constructed the world and taste of Renaissance women and men.
