Excerpt from The Historical Novel and Other Essays Historical fiction suffers in France from the same discredit as historical painting, and for the same reasons. It is either too easy to be worth while - a French critic might say - or so diffi cult as to be impossible. When a young man once went to Courbet for advice, saying that his vocation was to be a historical painter, the artist promptly responded: I don't doubt it; and therefore begin by giving three months to mak ing a portrait of your father!

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.

Excerpt from Historical Essays Caesars. The earliest continental subject dealt with in the other series was Frederick the First, King of Italy - the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa looked at in his specially Italian character. I said that I should be well pleased to connect the two series by a third, which might deal with the intermediate times, with those times which I look on as the true Middle Ages, the times when the Roman and Teutonic elements of modern Europe stood side by side, and had not yet. Been worked together into a third thing distinct from either. The present series may, I hope, do something to fill up this gap, and thereby may help further to strengthen in the minds of those who may read them the doctrine of the unbroken continuity of history, and specially of the long abiding life of the Roman Empire, Eastern and Western.

Excerpt from Biographical, Literary, and Philosophical Essays By the principles of our undertaking, we are pledged not to advance any opinions on the grand controversy be tween the religious establishment of our country and the dissenters from its communion - or more precisely, we are engaged to avoid discussing the abstract propriety of an establishment, and also the propriety of that form of it now existing in the country. These are ques tions, it is true, quite distinct from the conduct of the established church, or any of its distinguished members, as political agents in the transactions of a history. Viewed in this light, their operations, their influence, their vir tues, or their vices, are just as fair subjects of observation as those of any other of the agents, involved in our na tional history. But it is not certain that we can exercise our right to this undoubted extent without giving consider able off'ence. Even at this liberal period, there are some whom it would be hard to avoid offending, and in whose opinions we should scarcely seem to preserve our pledged neutrality, while condemning the violent and fatal intoler ance of the church during the reigns of the Jameses and Charleses, though it be evidently impossible to discuss the merits, or even to narrate the events of those reigns without it.'

Excerpt from Literary Style: And Other Essays It is beginning to be felt more keenly than for a long time before, that, as the value of the materials of a building, Whatever their cost, depends mainly upon the skill With Which they are put together, so in literary architecture it is the manner in Which the ideas are fitted together into a. Symmetrical and harmonious Whole, as well as adorned and embellished, that, quite as much as the ideas themselves, constitutes the worth of an essay, an oration, or a poem. As the diamond or the emerald, even the Kohinoor itself, - has little beauty as it lies in the mine, but must be freed from its incrustations, and cut and polished by the lapidary, before it is fit to blaze in the coronet of a queen, or to sparkle on the breast of beauty, so thought in the ore has little use or charm, and sparkles and captivates only When polished and set in cunning sentences by the literary artist. But there is another and more potent reason for the grow ing estimation of style. As an instrument for Winning the public attention, for saving the reader all needless labor, and for keeping a hold on the grateful memory, its value cannot be easily exaggerated. A hundred years ago, in the days of stage-coaches and ramage presses, When literature did not come to us in bales, and to be a man of one book was no disgrace, style might have been regarded as a luxury.
