Book Description
Excerpt from Collectanea Essays, Addresses and Reviews "If I were asked what is my reason for printing these lectures, I might be at a loss for an answer. They are not printed by request, or because they seem to me worthy to be preserved, or because they are likely to be useful reading, or because they supply a want It may be that they owe their present form to the fact that the love of correcting proof-sheets has become a leading passion with the author." While the republication of batches of short stories, or the letters of special correspondents, is quite the fashion, and that of collected poems is treated with indulgence as a harmless foible, to venture to offer to the public a crambe repetita of lectures or addresses, dissertations or reviews, is generally considered an impertinence, discouraged by publishers, resented by reviewers, and tending only to the accumulation on the dealers' shelves of unmerchantable remainders. Such a proceeding seems always to require an apology; and perhaps the present writer can scarcely do better than transcribe, and subscribe to, the ingenuous confession, quoted above, of an extremely learned prelate, prefixed to a collection of academical lectures, delivered, as he explains, with repugnance and not re-issued without remorse.

Excerpt from Essays and Reviews On the 73d page, Charnock says expressly, the essence and faculties remain the same. The passions and affections are the same as to the substance and nature of the acts; but the difference lies in the objects. When a man loves God, or fears God, or loves man, or fears man, it is the same act of love and the same act of fear; there are the same motions of the soul, the same substantial acts simply considered, etc. This new creation is not a destruction of the substance of the soul, but there is the same physical being, and the same faculties in all, and nothing is changed in its substance as it respects the nature of man. - P. 85. We have here a most explicit disa vowal of the doctrine of physical regeneration in the sense in which Dr. Cox represents the old Calvinists as holding it. As to the manner in which this work is effected, he remarks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Notes and Reviews But even at the beginning his work was informed with distinction, distinction of thought and of expression. If one feels that he is occasionally ineffectual, because he was groping for a literary form which his youth had not yet achieved, one is never unaware of the charm with which his groping naturally invests itself. And so, if it served no other purpose, this collection of reviews by a youthful fellow-craftsman, now among the august dead, might, if studied seriously by re viewers of to-day in America, tend to revive a well-nigh extinct art; for these papers, whatever their faults, are the expression of an alert spirit, a discriminating intelligence, ardently devoting it self with rare singleness of purpose to a service the rewarding beauty of which it never doubts. Yet, after all, the chief function which this collec tion will perform, and one most welcomed by James's own faithful circle of readers, is that of self-portraiture.

Book Description
Excerpt from Essays, Reviews, and Addresses, Vol. 4: Academical: Religious Religion, thus discharged from its hold on reality and reduced to the category of Symbol, is dislodged from its seat as the Supporting postulate of all the Sciences, and takes its place among the F ine Arts to be treated, by writers on the Belles Lettres, among the varieties of rhetorical trope and metaphor and personification, the literal base of which is always found in some aéstractz'on mentally distilled from concrete experience. Hence it is that philosophers and critics who touch upon the subject spend a curious ingenuity in substituting neuter abstracts for the ancient personal names of the Living God. To them, the t/zing denoted is 'the Infinite, ' 'the Eternal, ' 'the Unknowable, ' 'the stream of Tendency, ' The aggregate of Umizangeable Law'; and no longer the Creator and Inspirer' of men, the Father in heaven, ' the Judge of all the earth, ' the Holy One, ' the Searcher of hearts.' To me, I confess, Religion, -in its very essence, is a conscious relation between the human Personality and the Divine: and had I, from change of conviction, to relinquish this relation as imaginary, I should feel bound to surrender the vocabulary of religion to those who retained this essence, and to make the best I could of the unsanctified Ethics that remained. Respect for the vera cities of language would forbid me, by misuse of terms, to wear as a mask a cast of features no longer rendering the expression of my own. The criticisms which are applied to others in one or two of the following Addresses I should feel that I had justly brought upon myself, if to the dwarfed and altered thought I had tried to shrink the grand old language.
