Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays and Postscripts on Elocution The author's systematic treatises and text-books on Elocution, Alphabetics, Defects of Speech, etc., have long been honoured with a wide circle of students. To these Works the reader must be referred for a complete development of the subjects discursively treated in the "Essays and Postscripts" which compose this volume. Of the latter, the author can only hope that they may, at least, prove incentives to further study on the part of interested readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NYRB Classics Original Simon Leys is a Renaissance man for the era of globalization. A distinguished scholar of classical Chinese art and literature and one of the first Westerners to recognize the appalling toll of Mao’s Cultural Revolution, Leys also writes with unfailing intelligence, seriousness, and bite about European art, literature, history, and politics and is an unflinching observer of the way we live now. The Hall of Uselessness is the most extensive collection of Leys’s essays to be published to date. In it, he addresses subjects ranging from the Chinese attitude to the past to the mysteries of Belgium and Belgitude; offers portraits of André Gide and Zhou Enlai; takes on Roland Barthes and Christopher Hitchens; broods on the Cambodian genocide; reflects on the spell of the sea; and writes with keen appreciation about writers as different as Victor Hugo, Evelyn Waugh, and Georges Simenon. Throughout, The Hall of Uselessness is marked with the deep knowledge, skeptical intelligence, and passionate conviction that have made Simon Leys one of the most powerful essayists of our time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay on Elocution: With Elucidatory Passages From Various Authors, to Which Are Added It was the intention of the writer to have marked the examples inthis book with italics, but he was deterred from doing so by the objections which upon delibera tion seemed to oppose such a plan, especially when Dr. Blair is with him, an author who has done so much for the eloquence of the English language, and who must remain a source of admiration to the enlightened, and of instruction to those who seek for Rhetorical and Belles Lettres information.

Simpson's Essay in Answer to Evanson's Dissonance and Volney's Ruins When, from a strong persuasion of the great importance of the question, I thought it my duty both as a Man and a Christian to submit to public consideration my ideas of the Dissonance of the four generally received Evangelists, conscious that I stood alone, unsupported by the opinions of any learned theologians ancient or modern, and well convinced, by going to the very source of the argument myself, that all the external evidence which the case admits is so scanty and defective, that though men of great abilities and ingenuity may declaim much and write volumes and volumes upon the subject, it is not possible for them to prove the authenticity of any of the evangelical histories, upon the ground only, to the satisfaction of any candid, unprejudiced mind, I expressed my hopes, that. if any arguments, he would effect it in a manly, rational manner, by clearly reconciling the several objectionable passages, as the scriptures really exist, without recurring to any human authority or to conjectures unwarranted by the Gospels themselves.

Download or read book Men Explain Things to Me written by Rebecca Solnit and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Book Critics Circle Award–winning author delivers a collection of essays that serve as the perfect “antidote to mansplaining” (The Stranger). In her comic, scathing essay “Men Explain Things to Me,” Rebecca Solnit took on what often goes wrong in conversations between men and women. She wrote about men who wrongly assume they know things and wrongly assume women don’t, about why this arises, and how this aspect of the gender wars works, airing some of her own hilariously awful encounters. She ends on a serious note— because the ultimate problem is the silencing of women who have something to say, including those saying things like, “He’s trying to kill me!” This book features that now-classic essay with six perfect complements, including an examination of the great feminist writer Virginia Woolf’s embrace of mystery, of not knowing, of doubt and ambiguity, a highly original inquiry into marriage equality, and a terrifying survey of the scope of contemporary violence against women. “In this series of personal but unsentimental essays, Solnit gives succinct shorthand to a familiar female experience that before had gone unarticulated, perhaps even unrecognized.” —The New York Times “Essential feminist reading.” —The New Republic “This slim book hums with power and wit.” —Boston Globe “Solnit tackles big themes of gender and power in these accessible essays. Honest and full of wit, this is an integral read that furthers the conversation on feminism and contemporary society.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Essential.” —Marketplace “Feminist, frequently funny, unflinchingly honest and often scathing in its conclusions.” —Salon

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Diction in Song and Speech: A d104 Book for Singers and Speakers In view of the fact that some Of the principles laid down will present themselves as new, for the reason that they have never yet been applied in the same way, it may be well to assure my readers that all of my statements are in accord with the highest authorities on both the science Of speech and Of vocal physiology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Philosophical Essays Postscript - The death of William James, which occurred when the printing of this book was already far advanced, makes me wish to express, what in the course of controversial writings does not adequately appear, the profound respect and personal esteem which I felt for him, as did all who knew him, and my deep sense of the public and private loss occasioned by his death. For readers trained in philosophy, no such assurance was required; but for those unaccus tomed to the tone of a subject in which agreement is necessarily rarer than esteem, it seemed desirable to record what to others would be a matter of course.
