Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Experimental Novel: And Other Essays After having explained the experimental considera tions common to living beings and to inanimate, Claude Bernard passes to the experimental considerations which belong specially to living beings. The great and only difference is this, that there is presented to our consideration, in the organism of livings beings, a har monious group of phenomena. He then treats of practical experiments on living beings, of vivisection, of the preparatory anatomical conditions, of the choice of animals, of the use of calculation in the study of phenomena, and lastly of the physiologist's labora tory.

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. Yet, if you do so limit and constrain what you teach. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book What Was History? written by Anthony Grafton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-29 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the late fifteenth century onwards, scholars across Europe began to write books about how to read and evaluate histories. These pioneering works grew from complex early modern debates about law, religion and classical scholarship. Anthony Grafton's book is based on his Trevelyan Lectures of 2005, and it proves to be a powerful and imaginative exploration of some central themes in the history of European ideas. Grafton explains why so many of these works were written, why they attained so much insight – and why, in the centuries that followed, most scholars gradually forgot that they had existed. Elegant and accessible, What Was History? is a deliberate evocation of E. H. Carr's celebrated Trevelyan Lectures, What Is History?.

This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Early Female Novelists, and Other Essays In the history of English story-telling an altogether notable place is occupied by Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. They are remarkable not only as masterpieces of narrative, but as containing both description of incidents and delineation of manners; not only as triumphs of literary expression, but as giving artistic form both to the romance of chivalry and to the tale of common life. Wholly wonderful it is that at so early a period such directness of movement and perfection of style, such vividness of portraiture and realism of incident, are found in verse, while centuries pass before similar excellences are found in prose. It is, indeed, peculiarly interesting to contrast Chaucer's practice with the subsequent course of English fiction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gateways to Literature: And Other Essays The poet Blake it was who declared that we never know enough unless we know more than enough - and who of us is ever likely to attain to that altitude of comprehension? After all, even the most protracted investigation of fact and the most incessant meditation on truth must be circumscribed by the brief radius of human knowledge. What are threescore years and ten? What is a century, even? And as time pulses by, ever quickening its pace, we are often tempted to echo Lowell's envious ejaculation, What a lucky dog Methuselah was!

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Second Person Singular and Other Essays Which had superfluous kings for messengers Not many moons gone by. Antony and Cleopatra. As the kings lag, and then pass away from the stage of the world, many men will ask what there is to regret. Assuredly nothing, if not royalty in the mind of Shakespeare. Mankind will in time probably forget or deny that there was ever anything in the life of the world answering to Shakespeare's royalty in Perdita, or to his princeliness in Arviragus and Guiderius, or to his kingliness in Lear, or to his glory in Cleopatra. It may be so, as to the world; there may have been nothing thus answerable. But there was Shakespeare. And our regrets in regard to him cover all his regalities - the hidden and hereditary and unconscious, and the conscious and braggart and manifest: Perdita's dignity among the romps, and her sportive disputes as to Art and Nature among the clowns, her unflushed composure amid the junketings, and also Lear's loud and indignant death. The splendour of Shakespeare's veneration for kings is perhaps deeper where the kingliness - the blood of it - is unrevealed, as in the shepherdess of The Winter's Tale, for here it is matter of Shakespeare's faith.

This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Forgotten Man and Other Essays With the present collection the publication of Sumner's Essays comes to an end. The original project of publishers and editor contemplated but a single volume - "War and Other Essays" - and they accordingly equipped that volume with a bibliography which was as complete as they then could make it. But when, later on, other materials came to be known about, and especially after the discovery of a number of unpublished manuscripts, the encouraging reception accorded to the first venture led us to publish a second, and then a third collection: "Earth Hunger and Other Essays" and "The Challenge of Facts and Other Essays." It was during the preparation of the latter of these, now some five years ago, that the late Professor Callender deplored to the editor the omission of certain of Sumner's essays in political economy - in particular those dealing with free trade and sound money. And the reviewers of preceding collections had reminded us, rightly enough, that there should be a fuller bibliography and also an index covering all the essays. In this last volume we have striven to meet these several suggestions and criticisms. And it is now the purpose of the publishers to form of these singly issued volumes a set of four, numbered in the order of their issue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Old Castle and Other Essays Seldom is it the teacher's lot to have any of his work perpetuated in lasting literary form. But Professor Win chester's students will remember how the work in the class room led up to finished summary lectures. They developed out of the rich autumn mould of his acquisitions, year after year,1 and showed us best of all how thorough and thought ful study had enabled him to see into the life of things. In these talks to students lay the origins of the public lec tures which charmed and enlightened a far more widely ranging audience. Even the latter, Professor Winchester rarely published. Therefore certain typical examples, rep resentative both of his power as a teacher and his appeal as a lecturer, it has now seemed best to give to the world. Art, once wrote their author, is. The only way the indi vidual has of perpetuating his personality. In this way these papers are not alone of intrinsic value but fitly memorial.
