Excerpt from Essays Historical and Biographical No sooner had the news of my brother's death spread last November than several requests were made that a selection of his sermons should be published. One friend, however, suggested that, as he had in a pre eminent degree the gift of sketching character and setting it forth with its surroundings, a volume of sketches should be issued first. The following have been selected from among many more. From the time when he studied in Berlin under Neander till his latest days he cultivated this gift. He lived among the heroes of the past, and yet no man ever took a deeper interest in the men around him. Goethe said of Shakespeare's characters that they are like watches with transparent faces. You not only see the hands pointing to the dial, but you see the working of the machinery inside. Much of the same nature are the sketches in this volume. We have included sketches of reformers, of missionaries, of poets, and of cotemporaries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Historical and Biographical Essays, Vol. 1 of 2 The many additions in the present publication are meant to give to that design greater scope and fullness. They are most considerable in the memoirs of steele and foote and in the latter more especially an attempt by means of them has been made to render more complete the picture of a series of comic writings, which are not more remarkable for character and wit than for their vivid and humorous presentment of English vices and foibles in the later half of the eighteenth century, but which accidental causes may probably for ever shut out from the place they might have claimed to occupy in the literature of England.

Excerpt from Biographical and Historical Essays The paper on Professor Wilson has not before been printed in the American edition, and it is intended in a subsequent volume to reprint an interesting series of reminiscences on the same subject not hitherto pub lished either in the Scotch or in the American edition. The saucy paper on Wilhelm Meister, and the final paper on Anecdotage also, both appear in America for the first time in this edition.

Excerpt from Essays, Historical and Biographical, Political, Social, Literary, and Scientific Many a broad plain shall it have traversed that is still unbroken from the waste, - many a moral wilderness on Which the Sun of Righteousness has not yet arisen. Nearly eighteen and a half centuries shall have elapsed since the shepherds first heard the midnight song in Bethlehem, - Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, good-will to the children of men. And yet the coming year shall pass, in its first visit, over prisons, and gibbets, and penal settlements, and battle-fields on which the festering (lead moulder unburied; it will see the shotted gun and the spear and the crease and the mur dering tomahawk, slaves in their huts, and captives in their dungeons. It will look down on uncouth idols in their temples; worshippers of the false prophet in their mosques; the Papist in his confessional; the Puseyite in his stone allegory; and on much idle and bitter controversy among those holders of the true faith whose proper work is the conversion of the world. But the years shall pass, and a change shall come: the sacrifice on Calvary was not offered up in vain, nor in vain bath the adorable Saviour conquered, and ascended to reign as King and Lord over the nations. The kingdoms shall become his kingdoms, the people his people. The morning rises slowly and in clouds, but the dawn has broken and it shall shine forth more and more, until the twilight shadows shall have dispersed and the sulphurous fogs shall have dissipated, and all shall be peace and gladness amid the blaze of the perfect day.

Excerpt from Biographical and Critical Essays: Reprinted From Reviews, With Additions There is a comic History of England. Why might there not be an anecdotical one, in which the salient points should be placed in broad relief by memorable sayings and striking incidents - by well-chosen traits of valour, virtue, patriotism, eloquence, and wit? There is no pleasanter mode of conveying knowledge, no surer mode of durably impressing it. The most fugitive attention is caught by anecdotes: the most volatile mind retains them so long as it retains anything; and none but the shallowest will miss the moral they point, the reflections they suggest, or the conclusions they justify.

Excerpt from The Stress of Change, Essays Historical and Biographical Read Dr. Jourdan's earlier work on the Movement towards Catholic Reform in the Early Sixteenth C entary with interest and pleasure. It was a study in a period and movement too much neglected, and it Showed knowledge and judgement in tracing currents of thought and literary connections. Many people and writers overlook this continuity which there really was even in an age Of change and revolution. If this continuity was too much forgotten in those days as well as in these, and if the forgetfulness was hurtful to coming generations, there is all the more need for us to renew its study. The perception of this, and the excellent Spirit and the industry which Dr. Jourdan brought to his task, led me to rate his book highly, both in reviewing it at the time and in recommending it Often since. I am glad, therefore, that he has carried on his work and is now giving the benefit of it to the public. Once again he gives us studies Of characters and events, which even if diversified in life and lands have an underlying continuity. English readers will find much that is new to them in the fields where Dr. Jourdan guides them. After having read his earlier book I was glad to meet him at the International Historical Congress in Brussels; and it is doubly pleasant to say a word of introduction for one whom I can now hold as a friend as well as a scholar who loves history and understands it.

Excerpt from Biographical Essays These papers I am anxious to put into the hands of your house, and, so far as regards the U. S., of your house exclusively; not with any view to further emolument, but as an acknowledgment of the services which you have already rendered me; namely, first, in having brought together so widely scattered a collection - a difficulty which in my own hands by too painful an experience I had found from nervous depression to be absolutely insurmountable; secondly, in having made me a participator in the pecuniary profits of the American edition, without solicitation or the shadow of any expectation on my part, without any legal claim that I could plead, or equitable warrant in established usage, solely and merely upon your own spontaneous motion. Some of these new papers, I hope, will not be without their value in the eyes of those who have taken an interest in the original series. But at all events, good or bad, they are now tendered to the appropriation of your individual house, the Messrs. Ticknor & Fields, according to the amplest extent of any power to make such a transfer that I may be found to possess by law or custom in America. I wish this transfer were likely to be of more value. But the veriest trifle, interpreted by the spirit in which I offer it, may express my sense of the liberality manifested throughout this transaction by your honorable house.

Excerpt from Essays Political and Biographical MY father told me once that one of his earliest recol lections was of a visit to the new house which my grand father had bought at Ealing. He must have been about four or five years old at the time, and, to a child born in the neighbourhood of Lincoln's Inn, the small house standing in green fields with the purple wisteria climb ing up over one side appeared an earthly paradise. The deep meaning of the occasion was enhanced by my grandfather's first great confidence. He told his little son that although my grandmother was aware of the purchase, and that the house was being made ready for occupation, she did not know that a certain room on the ground floor with a window on the garden was being made into a boudoir for her use. My father, exhorted to preserve the utmost secrecy, was taken into this room and consulted as to the choice of a paper. He did not know till long afterwards that the country house (for Ealing was in the country then) had been bought because he was so delicate a child that my grandparents feared they would not rear him in the London atmosphere. Thirty years later, when I first remember. The place, London had crept along the Uxbridge Road almost as far as Acton, and the Common was already surrounded with buildings. Now, of course, it is London all the way, and the terminus of the District Railway. But when first I knew it my grandfather's place was perhaps much the same as it had been in my father's childhood.
