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.

Vol. ii London: 1838. It is not often that the leaders of opinions let the public into a view of their secret counsels and feelings; but when they do, we think it does credit to the uprightness and sincerity of their intentions. It shows that they wish us to be acquainted with the hidden springs of their actions and even to peer behind the veil which generally conceals the man from our sight, while we are viewing only his productions. Nay, the more unreservedly the human weaknesses of the individuals are revealed, and the more the feeling is expressed, that with their exposure, or in spite of it, their cause will succeed, the more highly we shall estimate their confidence in the correctness of their views, and the disinterestedness of their zeal in propagating them. These reflections have been suggested to us by the perusal of Mr. Froude's remains. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

London, 1871. In Mr. Darwins last work we possess at length a complete and thorough exposition of his matured views. He gives us the results of the patient labour of many years unremitting investigation and of the application of a powerful and acute intellect, combined with an extraordinary active imagination, to an unequalled collection of most varied, interesting, and important biological data. In his earlier writings a certain reticence veiled, though it did not hide, his ultimate conclusions as to the origin of our own species; but now all possibility of misunderstanding or of a repetition of former disclaimers on the part of any disciple is at an end, and the entire and naked truth as to the logical consequences of Darwinism is displayed with a frankness which we had a right to expect from the distinguished author. What was but obscurely hinted in the Origin of Species is here fully and fairly stated in all its bearings and without disguise. Mr. Darwin has, in fact, crowned the edifice, and the long looked for and anxiously awaited detailed statement of his views as to the human race is now unreservedly put before us. We rise from the careful perusal of this book with mingled feelings of admiration and disappointment. The authors style is clear and attractive - clearer than in his earlier works - and his desire to avoid every kind of conscious misrepresentation is as conspicuous as ever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Four Essays, Vol. 3 The late Murray Anthony Potter, at the time of his sudden death, was amassing notes for three books which he had long contemplated: a treatise on the horse as a character in epic poetry; a study of Petrarch; a group of essays on the Renaissance. For these, and for his various University courses, he left an abundance of matter in the form of references, memoranda, detached paragraphs, and outlines of lectures, but very little in the way of finished composition. The best that could be done with most of his papers was, therefore, to de posit them in the Harvard Library, for the use of investi gators in the same fields. Some pages, however, seemed to lend themselves, without too great departure from the writer's intention, to an arrangement which would make them accessible to the reading public. Hence this little volume, prepared by a few colleagues of the author and offered by his Department, in token of friendship and gratitude.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Round Table, Vol. 2: A Collection of Essays on Literature, Men, and Manners The general principle of the difference between the two heads is this - The forehead of the Greek is square and upright, and, as it were, overhangs the rest of the face, except the nose, which is a continuation of it almost in an even line. In the Negro or African, the tip of the nose is the' most projecting part of the face; and from that point the features retreat back, both upwards towards the forehead, and downwards to the chin. This last form is an approximation to the shape of the head of the animal, as the former bears the strong est stamp of humanity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, Vol. 2 of 3 Though I am forced to differ from him in those apprehensions he has expressed in the latter cod'cf his preface, concerning what I had said about virtue and vice; yet we are better agreed than he thinks, in what he says in his third chapter, p. 78, concerning natural in scription and 1unate notions. I shall not deny him the privilege he claims, p. 52. To state the quest1on as he pleases, especially when he states it so, as to leave nothing in 1t contrary to what I have said for, according to him, innate notions being cond1t10nal things, de pending upon the concurrence of several other circumstances, in or der to the soul's exerting them; all that he says for innate, imprint ed, ' impressed notions (for of innate ideas he says nothing at all) amounts at last only to this that there are certain propomtions, which though the soul from the begmnmg, or when a man is born, does not know, yet by assistance from the outward senses, and the help of some previous cultivation, it may afterwards come certainly to know the truth of which is no more than what I have affirmed in my first book. For I suppose by the soul's exerting them, he means its beginning to know them, or else the soul's exerting of notions will be to me a very unintellig1ble expression and I think at best is a very unfit one in this case, 1t misleading men's thoughts by an insinuation, as if these notions were in the mind before the soul exerts them, i. E. Before they are known: whereas truly before they are known, there is nothip'g of them in the mind; but a capacity to know them, when the concurrence of those circumstances, which this ingenious author thinks necessary in order to the soul's exerting them, brings them into our knowledge.
