Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miscellanies The aim of this edition has been completeness; and it is complete so far as human effort can make it; but besides the lost manuscripts there must be buried in the contemporary press many anony mous reviews which I have failed to identify. The remaining contents of this book do not call for further comment, other than a reminder that Wilde would hardly have consented to their republication But owing to the number of anonymous works wrongly attributed to him, chieﬂy in America, and spurious works published in his name, I found it necessary to violate tha laws of friendship by rejecting nothing I knew to be authentic. It will be seen on reference to the letters on The Ethics of Journalism that Wilde's name appearing at the end of poems and articles was not always a proof of authenticity even in his lifetime.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Miscellanies The various papers of which the following collection is com posed, were most of them written some years since, and were all originally published - with many more, which I have not thought it desirable to reprint - in Household Words, and in the earlier volumes of All the Year Round. They were fortunate enough to be received with favour by the reader, at the period of their first appearance, and were thought worthy in many instances of being largely quoted from in other journals. After careful selection and revision, they are now collected in book form having been so arranged, in contrast with each other, as to present specimens of all the shorter compositions which I have contributed in past years to periodical literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays and Miscellanies The Indicator, a series of papers originally published in weekly numbers, having been long out of print, and repeated calls having been made for it among the booksellers, the author has here made a selection, comprising the greater portion of the articles, and omitting such only as he unwillingly put forth in the hurry of periodical publication, or as seemed otherwise unsuited for present publication, either by the nature of their disquisitions, or from containing commendatory criticisms now rendered superfluous by the reputation of the works criticised. The author has little further to say, by way of advertisement to these pages, except that both the works were written with the same view of inculcating a love of nature and imagination, and of furnishing a sample of the enjoyment which they afford; and he cannot give a better proof of that enjoyment, as far as he was capable of it, than by stating, that both were written during times of great trouble with him, and both helped him to see much of that fair play between his own anxieties and his natural cheerfulness, of which an indestructible belief in the good and the beautiful has rendered him perhaps not undeserving.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miscellanies in Prose and Verse Gentle reader (readers are always gentle), should you read this preface before reading the whole or a part of the contents of this book, it may give you some idea what you may expect. I, the writer, have principally touched upon scenes, objects, and subjects belonging this sublunary world, holding the conservative notion that it is best for a man to keep within his own sphere. I have ventured in one lofty ﬂight to touch on those luminaries, the sun, moon, and stars, but not so as to affect their evolutionary motions, or throw any new light on them. The deepest subject that I have tried to fathom is coal, a subject that might give much light if properly handled, though some consider it a miner question that may be easily settled. As I have not been a student in any department of science or learning, I do not presume to teach, therefore there will be found in this volume little that is instructive. To some.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary and Historical Miscellanies The connexion between the mind and the body can never be explained. As yet, the first principles on which it depends, have not been discovered. Nature, in her mysterious operations, eludes the sagacity of the most careful observers. Her venerable form is con cealed by a veil, which no mortal has been permitted to raise. The first cause is that which hath been, which is, and which shall be, and which no man has compre hended. But we can notice the relation between one set of appearances and another, and may hope to be benefited by practical inductions from our Observations. By them we are led to regard the body, not merely as the temporary abode of the soul, but also as the instru ment by which knowledge is acquired and purposes executed. NO idea of the external world finds its way to the mind but through the senses; while the action of the internal organs excites the passions, modifies the operations of thought, and' imparts peculiarities to the moral nature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 1 I dare say we can all remember how, in our boyhood, the title 'the Eternal City' inspired us With awe and wonder but how in after years, When the first antipa thies of criticism began to work in us, we resented the use of such an epithet as a pagan apotheosis of the Dea Roma. And yet, as time goes ou, and reﬂection be comes mature, we can perceive under it a truth so sin gular in its kind and so vast in its proportions as to render this great title, not a literal definition indeed, but a symbol of the greatest history the world has ever seen. It would be to say little if I were to compare the duration of Rome with the duration of any other city. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

We cannot go back twelve days behind the rest of the world. The Act of 1870 was necessary. The population had outgrown all existing means of education. The children uneducated counted by hundreds of thousands, perhaps by millions. The standard of education was on a low level. England was behind both Germany and France in the diffusion of intellectual culture, at least among the lower and middle classes of the people. The principles embodied in the Act of 1870 cannot be rescinded; they ought rather to be carried out to their full and complete application.
