Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mere Literature and Other Essays And so very whimsical things sometimes happen, because of this scientific and positivist spirit of the age, when the study of the literature of any lan guage is made part of the curriculum of our col leges. The more delicate and subtle purposes of the study are put quite out of countenance, and literature is commanded to assume the phrases and the methods of science. It would be very painful if it should turn out that schools and universities were agencies of Philistinism; but there are some things which should prepare us for such a discov ery. Our present plans for teaching everybody involve certain unpleasant things quite inevitably. It is obvious that you cannot have universal educa tion without restricting your teaching to such things as can be universally understood. It is'plain that you cannot impart university methods to thou sands, or create investigators by the score, unless you confine your university education to matters which dull men can investigate, your lab oratory training to tasks which mere plodding dili gence and submissive patience can compass.

This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Essays in Literature and Life The way of the familiar essay is one, of the formal essay another. The latter is informational, it defines, proves; the former, seeking for friendlier and more personal relations with the reader, aims at suggestion, stimulation. The familiar essay can be an impression istic reflection of the author's experience in the mighty issues of living, or it may be the frank expression of a mere whim. It should touch many a deep thing in a way to quicken the sense of the charm, wonder, and terror of the earth. The essayist can fly high, if he but have wings, and he can dive deeper than any plum met line of the intellect, should it happen that the Spirit move him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vanishing Roads and Other Essays Though actually the work of man's hands - or, more properly speaking, the work of his travelling feet, - roads have long since come to seem so much a part of Nature that we have grown to think of them as a feature of the landscape no less natural than rocks and trees. Nature has adopted them among her own works, and the road that mounts the hill to meet the sky-line, or winds away into mystery through the woodland, seems to be veritably her own highway leading us to the stars, luring us to her secret places.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Essays In offering these Essays to an American public, I am very sensible that the only value they are likely to have will arise not from any special literary ability or insight of mine, but solely from the constant delight which I have taken in the writers here reviewed, - who have indeed lived with me and in me, till their world has become a genuine part of my own by no means too rich intellectual life. It is in this way, I cannot help thinking, - by soaking themselves thoroughly with a few great writers, instead of spreading their interests so widely as most literary men do, - that educated men of only ordinary capacities such as mine may do most for the service of literature and the culture of their own minds. It is but few who in any age can really aspire to the position of great critics, critics such as Coleridge, or Hazlitt, or Lamb, or Lowell, or Emerson.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Toleration and Other Essays IT seems useful, in presenting to English readers this selection of the works of Voltaire, to recall the position and personality of the writer and the circumstances in which the works were written. It is too lightly assumed, even by many who enjoy the freedom which he, more than any, won for Europe, and who may surpass him in scepticism, that Vol taire is a figure to be left in a discreetly remote niche of memory. Other times, other manners is one of the phrases he contributed to modern literature. Let us genially acknowledge that he played a great part in dispelling the last mists of the Middle Ages, and politely attribute to the papal perversity and the lingering vulgarity of his age the more effective features Of his work. Thus has Voltaire become a mere name to modern rational ists; a name of fading brilliance, a monumental name, but nothing more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vital Study of Literature: And Other Essays The second third of this volume consists of three studies devoted to what may be called orphic poetry, by manifest allusion to the spell-power and the mystic unintelligibility of that singer, who set the trees deep-rooted in the soil of convention, a-dancing, and caused the brute beast of greed and carnal desire to wax human and divinely sane. That myth has long been to the writer a solace and a confession of faith. In bringing out his collection of verse: Orpheus To-day, it had been given precedence of every other theme. In his view, the great poet was always a prophet of glories to come. Even a Leopardi, in his direst lyrical pessimisms, fills the reader with pride of breed, akin, as he feels himself, to so sincere and fervent a disallower of things as they are.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foe of Compromise, and Other Essays The case for compromise was never put better, perhaps, than it was by moderate American statesmen after the great political compromise of 1850. That adjustment, they said, had saved the Union; and they pointed out to the defeated radicals that the noblest politics are but a compromise. The Union itself, they declared, is a compromise; so is the Constitution, and all social life, and the harmony of the entire universe. With sincere conviction and a genuine fervor they dilated on the blessings we had won by being reasonable. Had we not won peace itself? "With what instantaneous and mighty charm," cried Rufus Choate, their orator, the measures of compromise "calmed the madness and anxiety of the hour!" And not peace alone, but love. "How, in a moment, the interrupted and parted currents of fraternal feeling reunited!" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
