Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Writings of William Law Symonds The design of publishing a book of the selected writings of William Law Symonds was formed some time after his death, in 1862; but the Civil War in our country was then raging and the time was unpropitious for the execution of any literary purpose involving public attention. An intimate friend of the deceased author, - Mr. Robert Carter, prominent among the writers who were at that time working for the newspaper press and the booksellers of New York, - undertook to collect his writings and to prepare a memoir of the writer; but obstacles intervened to impede him in the prosecution of the work and, ultimately, he felt constrained to abandon it. As years passed, circumstances became less and less auspicious for the publication as at first proposed. Friends of Mr. Symonds were dispersed by fortune or removed by death. The literary reputation that he had acquired, - not at any time extensive, though, within a limited circle, unquestionably brilliant, - was, practically, forgotten. The project slept. Now, at the distance of forty-six years since his death, the work he performed and the publicity it obtained are unknown, and, to the general public, the mention of his name would be mention of the name of a stranger.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of the Reverend William Law, Vol. 5 For they all express something that is true of the Sacrament, and therefore are every one of them, in a good Sense, rightly applicable to it; but all of them are far short of expressing the whole Nature of the Sacrament, and therefore the Help of all of them is wanted. He therefore that contends for one Name, as the only proper one in Exclusion of the rest, is in the same Mistake, as he that should contend for one Name and Character of our Saviour, as the only proper one, in Exclusion of all the rest. For as all the Names and Titles by which Christ is described, from the Seed of the Woman in Genesis, to the Alpha and Omega in the last Chapter of the Revelation, are only to help us to know, believe, and experience more of him as our Saviour, than can be expressed by all these different Characters of him: So all the various Names and Titles given to the Sacrament, are only to teach us to know, believe, and find more of our Redemption and Salvation in the Sacrament, than can be pointed out to us by any or all of these Expressions.' To those who require Evidence of the Truth of the Gospel the following passage is commended: But it may be you will say, you would believe the Gospel if you could, but that its Evidence cannot have that Effect upon your Mind, You may say also, the Gospel is a Matter of Fact; you must examine into the Truth of it, as you do into the Truth of other Matters of History; and as both the internal and external Evidence of the Gospel is much defended and opposed by learned Men, its Evidence is so perplexed, and made a Matter of such laborious and intricate Enquiry, that your Mind cannot come at any Certainty of what you ought to believe concerning the Truth of it. I will therefore propose to you the shortest, and at the same time the surest of all Methods.... I don't recommend to you to lay aside Prejudice, and begin again the Controversy from the Bottom, and read all on both Sides with all the Impartiality that you can. I would as soon send you on a Pilgrimage, to be a Penitent, as propose to you this Travel to be a Christian. The Truth of the Gospel lies much nearer to us than we imagine, and we only dispute and wrangle ourselves into a Distance from it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of the Reverend William Law, Vol. 7 of 9 The greatest Part of Mankind, nay of Christians, may be said to be asleep; and that particular Way of Life, which takes up each Mans Mind, Thoughts, and Actions, may be very well called his particular Dream. This Degree of Vanity is equally visible in every Form and Order of Life. The Learned and the Ignorant, the Rich and the Poor, are all in the same State of Slumber, only passing away a short Life in a different kind of Dream. But why so? It is because Man has an Eternity within him, is born into this World, not for the Sake of living here, not for any Thing this World can give him, but only to have Time and Place, to become either an eternal Partaker of a Divine Life with God, or to have an hellish Eternity among fallen Angels: And therefore, every Man who has not his Eye, his Heart, and his Hands, continually governed by this twofold Eternity, may be justly said to be fast asleep, to have no awakened Sensibility of Himself. And a Life devoted to the Interests and Enjoyments of this World, spent and wasted in the Slavery of earthly Desires, may be truly called a Dream, as having all the Shortness, Vanity, and Delusion of a Dream; only with this great Difference, that when a Dream is over, nothing is lost but Fictions and Fancies; but when the Dream of Life is ended only by Death, all that Eternity is lost for which we were brought into Being. Now there is no Misery in this World, nothing that makes either the Life or Death of Man to be full of Calamity, but this Blindness and Insensibility of his State, into which he so willingly, nay obstinately plunges himself. Every Thing that has the Nature of Evil and Distress in it takes its Rise from hence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Liberal and Mystical Writings of William Law: With an Introduction The advance sheets of this book are sent to me without explanation, comment, or suggestion - with a simple request for what I may have to say about it. i am not in the secret and know nothing of the reason of its appearance. I am free therefore to use conjecture, to speculate at will upon what may be, upon what I devoutly hope is, the meaning of it. Does it indicate a want? Does it announce a movement? There is no truth so needed, there is no way to it so plain and direct, as the truth and the way which we do well to associate with the name of William Law. Before me, too, the real William Law stands here for the first time. I have indeed from childhood owned A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life, but I have never really known it, and I have known nothing else of its author. Personally he is not one of the influences that have entered into my mind or my life. And I am grateful for it; for I see now that to have known him would have too much forestalled the blessed labour of a lifetime. What of truth or of method identical with his I may have attained, I would not forego having wrought out with toil and pain of my own, or at the feet of masters higher than he, even the Highest. I speak not individually but representatively; I trust I am only one of more than seven thousand who know that, whether in William Law or in themselves, the One Way will always lead to the One Truth and the One Life.

This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of the Reverend William Law, Vol. 9 of 9 The 'three Letters to a Lady inclined to enter the Romish Communion' are now for the first time included in the Rev. W. Law's works. They were written during the years 1731-2 but there is some uncertainty respecting the identity of the person to whom they were originally addressed, which is however a matter of only slight consequence. For the appearance of these letters in this republication Readers are indebted to the Rev. F. Sanders, Vicar of Hoylake, who kindly lent his copy for this purpose; and whose remark respecting william law's works - that he knew of no author so likely to do good in this restless and impatient age - is well worthy of repetition here. During the progress of this work through the Press, further writings by the Rev. William law have been discovered; which, together with his other correspondence and various matters of interest in connection therewith will - with an Index or Summary to his complete works - be issued in a volume of Miscellanies, of which due notice will be given.
