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.

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work, Perspective as Symbolic Form, was recently published by Zone Books; now three remarkable essays, one previously unpublished, place Panofsky's genius in a different perspective: What Is Baroque?, Style and Medium in the Motion Pictures,andThe Ideological Antecedents of the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.

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.

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.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Salvation by Christ, in Three Essays The three very remarkable Essays on the subject of "Salvation by Christ," herein contained, were written by Job Scott, an eminent Quaker Minister, universally beloved and esteemed by the Society. He was a native of Providence, Rhode Island, America, labouring and travelling much in the service of Truth, in the United States; also in England, as well as Ireland, where he finished his course, while engaged in his Ministerial Services among Friends there. The Extracts are Selections from his Complete Works, being chosen from parts of his Journal, never before published in England. So far as I am aware, there was only one Edition of his Entire Journal published, and that in America, in 1830, which soon getting out of print, has become very scarce.

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.
