Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Essays, on Important Subjects What little I have done I endeavoured to do as well, that is, as correct as I conhi, and it is no grief of heart to me. And I believe it wilt be no loss to my readers, that it is not with excellency of speech, not with en ticing words of man's wisdom, not in the words uhich man's wisdom teacheth, butl trust it is in those words which the Holy Ghost teacheth. 1 Cor. Ii. 1. 4. 13. Thereby commending what I have wrote, not to the skittish and wayward fancy, but to the conscience of every man in the sight of God, by a manifestation of the truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Essays, on Important Subjects The following brief narrative, or rather epitome, of God's dealings with my soul, is with considerable reluctance submitted to the press, (among other reasons,) least I should be thought to obtrude that on my readers, in which they might judge themselves so remotely, if at all, interested; anti, also, least some might be disposed to charge me with egotism. To the last surmise, if such should exist, I will only observe, that what follows is not a statement of any thing done by me, but of what God has done for me; and therefore the charge of egotism or self-praise must fall to the ground; and, as to my obtruding on my readers what they may, peradventu re, judge of so little worth, I will only say, I shall be sorry "If the turning of a sinner from the error of his ways, and saving a soul from death," should be of so small account in the eyes of any of my readers.

Download or read book Manifesto written by Rosa Luxemburg and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2024-04-09 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three texts this book, all written in vastly different eras —The Communist Manifesto (1848) by Marx and Engels, Reform or Revolution (1899) by Rosa Luxemburg and Socialism and Man in Cuba (1965) by Ernesto Che Guevara—illuminate socialist ideas of the 19th and 20th centuries. For a new generation of activists, these are classic revolutionary writings by four famous rebels, including The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels; Reform or Revolution by Rosa Luxemburg; and Che Guevara’s Socialism and Man in Cuba. Includes an introduction by Cuban Marxist intellectual Armando Hart and a preface by US radical poet Adrienne Rich. The essays in this book, Manifesto, were written by three relatively young people—Karl Marx when he was 30, Rosa Luxemburg at 27, Che Guevara at the age of 37. Born into different historical moments and different generations, they shared an energy of hope, an engagement with history, a belief that critical thinking must inform action, and a passion for the world and its human possibilities. Here are urgent conversations from the past that are still being carried on, among new voices, throughout the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Interludes (Fifth Series) Being Three Essays and Some Verses If my readers can find as much pleasure in reading what I have written, as I have found in the writing thereof, they will be happy enough. If they should be disappointed I am truly sorry; but can scarcely attribute my want of success to old age after what I have here written upon that subject. I am not without hope that my kind critics may discover that this fifth series is in no way inferior to those which have preceded it.

Download or read book Harvard Essays on Classical Subjects Classic Reprint written by Herbert Weir Smyth and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harvard Essays on Classical Subjects Such unity as these Essays aim to secure is of necessity the larger unity of sympathetic interpretation of certain aspects of the life and thought of classical antiquity. Nor was a closer coherence desirable if the truest independence of the contributors was to be preserved. Two of the Essays touch at a common point, though but for a moment; and this coincidence was not to be avoided, as it is not to be deprecated, since asceticism with its passion to subdue the turbulent senses, is inevitably linked with the yearning after immortality which possessed some of the most earnest minds of the ancient world. Regard for a more intimate association of parts might have made a book of essays on things Greek or on things Roman. But the less severe unity of the present volume is designed to bear witness, however inadequately, to the Harvard conviction that, for the purpose for which the ancient classics have their permanent and inalienable value, the literature and art of Greece and the literature and art of Rome are so intimately bound together that they may not suffer divorcement. We are all of us Greeks, we are all Romans. The Greeks are the creators of the one original literature of Europe.

Download or read book Three Essays on the Subjects Proposed by the Cambrian Society in Dyfed written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Essays, on the Subjects Proposed by the Cambrian Society in Dyfed: Which Gained the Respective Prizes, at the Eisteddfod, Held at Caermarthen, in September, 1823 Among the nations, distinguished of old by any remarkable pro. Ficiency in Navigation, the tnicians seem to deserve the first place; and for which reason the credit of having invented the art, has been ascribed to them, as we have seen, by some ancient his torians. It is probable enough, however, that the spirit of com mercial enterprise, by which they were actuated, occasioned them to do much towards its improvement. And the Carthaginians, a Phcenician Colony, are known not only to have rivalled, but to have even surpassed, the fame of their founders in this respect. It would be easy to deduce the history of the art, through the various nations who have been most celebrated for cultivating it, from the time of the Carthaginians to the present, if it were an inquiry immediately connected with the particular subject of this Essay. But it must be apparent. That it would far exceed the true limits of this investigation to enter into such a detail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miscellaneous Essays I am afraid that some statements or explanations may be found repeated in different parts of the book. This is partly inevitable, owing to the occasional points of contact between the subjects of the first three Essays. Also they were written at different times and for different audiences or readers. So far as such repetitions are due to the latter cause, I have endeavoured to eliminate them. But if they have sometimes escaped my notice, I must apologize to my readers for the oversight. I have been compelled, however, sometimes to repeat arguments or explanations that have appeared already in previous Essays (e. G. Especially on the subject of Beatrice in Essay IV). This seemed inevitable, lest the subjects now in hand might appear to be incompletely treated, or indeed sometimes be almost unintelligible to those who might not have access to the earlier volumes of these Studies.

Download or read book Three Essays on Style written by Erwin Panofsky and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: with a memoir by William S. Heckscher Erwin Panofsky (1892-1968) was one of the preeminent art historians of the twentieth century. A new translation of his seminal work, Perspective as Symbolic Form, was recently published by Zone Books; now three remarkable essays, one previously unpublished, place Panofsky's genius in a different perspective: What Is Baroque?, Style and Medium in the Motion Pictures,andThe Ideological Antecedents of the Rolls-Royce Radiator. The essays are framed by an introduction by Irving Lavin, Panofsky's successor as Professor of Art History at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, discussing the context of the essays' composition and their significance within Panofsky's oeuvre, and an insightful memoir by Panofsky's former student, close friend, and fellow emigr & e ́, William Heckscher. All three essays reveal unexpected aspects of Panofsky's sensibility, both personal and intellectual. Originally written as lectures for general audiences, they are composed in a lively, informal manner, and are full of charm and wit. The studies concern broadly defined problems of style in art--the visual symptoms endemic to works of a certain period (Baroque), medium (film), or national identity (England)--as opposed to the focus on iconography and subject matter usually associated with Panofsky's "method." The essay on Baroque, which Lavin considers "vintage Panofsky" and which appears here for the first time, and the one on film were written in 1934. The Rolls-Royce piece was written in 1962.

This book was released on 2016-08-24 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Various Subjects, Vol. 1 of 3 The greater part, in fact, of the essays now pre sented to the public, have appeared as papers in the Dublin Review; and they preserve in this collection their primitive form. This has been done, not merely to escape the trouble of changing the plural into the singular number, but because I feel that the plural preserves a modesty of tone, and a reserve of Opinion, which was originally intended, and would be lost by any change of forms. For, as I have intimated, the Dublin Review is the exponent of a system of views, to which, rather than to individual speculations, each contributor's writings should be referred.

This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Various Subjects, Vol. 2 of 3 IN preparing this collection for publication, the reader may well suppose, that this thought must have presented itself to the writer's mind: Would it not be better to suppress the whole of this controversy, which occupies this volume, as dead and gone; as either having attained its purpose, or not likely now any longer to attain it? Such a thought was natural, and connected with other feelings, of which I may have to speak. But it was necessarily overruled by the motive of the entire work. Those persons, whose judgment I respect more than my own, who wished such a collection to be made, particularly desired that this series should not be omitted. The strongest objection to be overcome in acceding to this wish was, the painfulness of appearing in con flict with persons who are now joined with me in perfect unity of thought and principle, of many whom I respect and even venerate for their learning, their piety, and their orthodox zeal. But this consideration had its other side. For it may not be without its use to see how those who once clung to error through earnest conviction, who defended their mistaken views with erudition and ability, but who, throughout, showed themselves sincere in the desire to attain truth, could nobly abandon that erroneous system, when the moment of Grace arrived, and become far more powerful advocates than their former adversary.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Essays Three centuries have passed over our heads since the time of which I am speaking, and the world 18 so changed that we can hardly recog nize it as the same. The secrets of nature have been opened out to us on a thousand lines; and men of science of all creeds can pursue side by side their common investigations. Catholics, Anglicans, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Calvinists, contend with each other in honorable rivalry in arts, and literature, and commerce, and industry. They read the same books. They study at the same academies. They have seats in the same senates. They preside together on the judicial bench, and carry on, without jar or difference, the ordinary business of the country.
