Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays in Brief for War-Time Thomas Fuller, one of the best and wisest and wittiest of Englishmen, a peace-loving man of a most happy temperament, spent the last twenty years of his life amid the trials and terrors of civil war, and the defeat and oppression of the cause which he believed to be the righteous one. He was a man with a pen ever in his hand, and a full flow of fancy in his brain: and when our civil war began in 1642, his pen was quickly at work noting down his thoughts in the brief and telling form which his curious fancy gave them. In 1645 published 'Good Thoughts in Bad Times' at Exeter: in 1647 ms 'Good Thoughts in Worse Times': and in 1660 his 'Mixed Contemplations in Better Times, ' dedicated to Lady Monck, in which dedication he says that she was known to have had' a finger, yea a hand, yea an arm happily instrumental' in the great work of her renowned husband effected early that year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Looking Before and After: Some War-Time Essays Prompted by seemingly clear signs of the times, I had published, three years previously, - 1911 - a booklet under the title, Thought and Fact for To - day. In the introduction to the book I declared that, War is not a necessary, and therefore is not to be a perpetual, accompaniment of social, or national development. It has be come a relic, or a survival of the life of savage and barbaric man, unworthy of toleration under the enlightenment fast spreading among the mankind of to - day. And even though, for the purpose of self - defense against the lust of gain and power of some nations, it may be necessary for the best of peoples to continue to bear arms, it is still one of the highest of na tional and international duties to advance continually the plea for a world-peace, and to use all ways that open towards it.

Download or read book Essays and Addresses in War Time Classic Reprint written by Right Hon. Viscount Bryce and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays and Addresses in War Time The whole volume was in print before the startling events of October had begun to bring the close of the war into sight. The earlier essays are left almost unchanged, because they were written to convey to foreign readers a concise and so far as possible unbiassed account of the motives and temper, the views and moral judgments with which Britain was prosecuting the war at a time when its issue, though certain to ourselves, appeared doubtful to many foreign observers. It seems better to leave them to speak as from the days when Englishmen were bewildered by the doctrines as well as the behaviour of their enemies, and were seeking explanations of what was so new to their experience. The clouds are now beginning to lift. Already we understand some features of the conduct and mental attitude of the enemy better than we did three or four years ago. Happily that which we most desired has come to pass. This is a War of Principles, and the course of events has vindicated the principles of morality and humanity that were at stake.

In each little district two, and more often all three, of these races were blended, always with some slight diversity, to furnish the special tone and colour of the group, its own character in physical beauty and in spiritual production. Only here and there in scattered isolated spots were found small patches of pure race to give' touches of bright colour, though not of creative energy, to the total harmony. In this exquisite process the men of every district were brought into blood relationship with the men of every other district. The men of each land were a little different, each nation with its own delicate individuality, yet all hearts were united by tenuous fibres stretching back to the common stocks, and whatever the men of one land said or did there were always responsive fibres to thrill sympathetically in the hearts of all other men. No more ingenious device to secure harmony was divinely possible. Europe resembled a beautiful Old tapestry, diversified in tone and colour, yet with the same thread running everywhere through the design, binding it together and giving unity to the whole.

Download or read book Justice in War Time Classic Reprint written by Bertrand Russell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Justice in War Time The following essays, of which all except the last two have appeared in various magazines, were written at different times during the course of the war, and are not perhaps wholly consistent in their expectations as to the future, or in their view as to the attitude of the ordinary citizen towards war. In such matters, the development of events inevitably somewhat modifies first impressions. The view that the bulk of the population is naturally pacific, and is only incited to war by politicians and journalists, is widely held among pacifists, but is vehemently rejected by the more bellicose, who point out that men have an instinct of pugnacity, which demands war from time to time. I think it is true that many men have an instinct towards war, but unless it is roused by its appropriate stimulus it may well remain completely latent. The instinct, and the machinations of warmongers, are both needed to bring about war; if either were coped with, the other would be no longer operative for evil. In the following essays I have dealt sometimes with the one, sometimes with the other; but both are essential factors in the problem, and neither can be neglected by any prudent friend of peace. The first of these essays, which was written before the Bryce Report appeared, deals in part with the question of atrocities. Nothing in that report tends to invalidate the conclusion reached in the article, namely: "No doubt both German and Russian atrocities have occurred.

This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Liberty and Democracy and Other Essays in War-Time All human thinking is temporary and experimental, like the life of which it is a part. But in time of war, and of such a war as this that now wracks the world, the temporal perils of thought swell to new measures. Our emotions are intense; familiar things take on discolourations, while strange orders of fact breed strangely new perceptions, making easy the inroads of fantasy and suspicion; and even the mind consciously in search of a truth that is eternal finds itself hypnotically in bond to the garish actualities of the present. Nevertheless, there are no times when hard thinking is more the need; Such intelligence as we have is meant (if meant for anything) to be of service under stress; and that citizen and that student who fails to respond with his clearest effort betrays at once his country and the best part of human nature, - namely, its quest of rational guidance. The essays which form the present volume represent but one man's endeavour to discover the light of reason in a period of tremendous stress. They were written, from time to time, under the impulse of events, and for contemporary reading. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Inter Arma written by Edmund Gosse and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Inter Arma: Being Essays Written in Time of War But the man of letters who is torn from his customary province, whatever that may be, and who is drawn by his emotion into the whirlpool of the hour, cannot change his nature, and that emotion has to be expressed in terms of his own intellectual habits. He must be careful not to allow his zeal to drag him into employ ments where he will be, not only of no use, but perhaps, in his small way, an encumbrance. The author, untrained in military affairs, who is led by his ardour to criticise the conduct of the allied generals in the field, is apt to cut a sorry figure. At best, he is like the clown in the circus, who gives directions after the grooms have carried them out. At worst, he increases the public confusion and adds his atom to the distraction of disorganised opinion. It is, perhaps, best for him to pursue his accustomed lines of study, allowing all his thoughts and views to be saturated by the passionate interest he takes in the war, and so react, in his own way and to the extent of his own powers, against the satiety and lassitude which the extraordinary prolongation of the struggle inevitably produces. There is an excellent reason why those who write with some seriousness and care should continue during the war to be careful and serious. It has hardly been enough observed that we have sent out for our national defence in this war a soldiery far more widely and deeply educated than has ever been the case before. This is true of our French allies even more fully than of our selves, while from my personal knowledge I can testify that the Russian soldiers expressly desire not to have light literature or the ephemeral forms of fiction sent out to them, but crave a supply of solid and thought ful, even of instructive books. Every author who has for many years held the ear of the public, within how ever confined a circle, must be aware of a curious, and an affecting, fact. A large proportion of those who habitually read him, and whose minds have become attuned to his, are separated from him by leagues of sea, and are occupied in noble and unprecedented service.

Download or read book Nationality and Government written by Alfred Eckhard Zimmern and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nationality and Government: With Other War-Time Essays All the essays have been written since the outbreak of the war with one exception, that on Education, Social and National. I have included this partly because it seemed of sufficient intrinsic interest, and partly in order to indicate that my general attitude has not been arrived at under the stress of passing events, but that the war has on the whole confirmed rather than reversed opinions previously formed. On the other hand, I have deliberately refrained from reprinting an essay on Seven Months in America, written in 1912, because, although in some important respects events have borne it out, it did far less than justice to the fundamental unity and idealism of the American Commonwealth. I have also omitted, as unsuited to a book covering so wide a scope, several essays containing a more detailed treatment of some of the issues discussed here. One of them, a study of the problem of women in industry, has already been in part reprinted. Others may perhaps see the light in another form. In reprinting, as from my own pen, articles which have appeared in the Round Table, I take the opportunity of thanking the friends in collaboration with whom they were written. Now that the book as a whole is before me, I may add a few words of prefatory comment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Were they organized for war in a manner corresponding with their mass a lasting peace would be assured. But war is an affair of activity and movement, and the momentum of a body is the product of its mass and velocity. War comes suddenly in these days, and unprepared nations provoke the aggression of their rivals. The modern nation in arms throws all its living forces into the war-furnace and almost suspends for the time all other forms of activity. For such a nation, in such a situation, the war must be short, sharp, and decisive. If it is not, exhaustion will discount all possible benefits accruing even from successful war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Things That Matter Fifteen Essays on the War Whatever we may think, the war is on all of us, worker and shirker. No one can dodge it altogether. My years forbid my doing my bit with the sword. But I can wield a pen after my fashion. The wish of my heart is that the pen may in this case be mightier than the sword would have been. If it be true that words are things, and that a drop of ink may make thousands think, I would fain believe that these few words on "War Things that Matter" may not be unfruitful. They come out of my very soul; out of my love for my dear native land; out of my love for Australia, the native land of my children; out of my sense of what is due to justice, truth, freedom, and civilisation. All these are at stake; but all are in the hands of an Omnipotent, in Whom I can place unshaken trust. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
