Book Description
Excerpt from Critical, Historical, and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 2 of 6: With a Memoir and Index No attempt has been made to remodel any of the pieces which are contained in this volume. Even the criticism on Milton, which was written when the author was fresh from college, and which contains scarcely a paragraph such as his matured judgment approves, still remains overloaded with gaudy and ungraceful ornament. The blemishes which have been removed were, for the most part, blemishes caused by unavoidable haste. The author has sometimes, like other contributors to periodical works, been under the necessity of writing at a distance from all books and from all advisers; of trusting to his memory for facts, dates, and quotations; and of sending manuscripts to the post without reading them over. What he has composed thus rapidly has often been as rapidly 'printed. His object has been that every Essay should now appear as it probably would have appeared when 'it was first published, if he had then been allowed an additional day or two to revise the proof-sheets, with the assistance of a good library.

Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 2 of 2: Collected and Republished The healthy know not of their health, but only the sick this is the Physician's Aphorism; and applicable in a far wider sense than he gives it. We may say, it holds no less in moral, intellectual, political, poetical, than in merely cor poreal therapeutics; that wherever, or in what shape so ever, powers of the sort which can be named vital are at work, herein lies the test of their working right or working wrong.

Book Description
Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 3 of 3 In the spirit of that invocation we look around us, and as the idea of morning dies, sufficient for our happiness is the light of common day - the imagery of common earth. There has been rain during the night - enough, and no more, to enliven the burn. And to, brighten its banks - the mists are ascending composedly, with pro mise of gentle weather - and the sun, so mild that we can look him in the face with unwinking eyes, gives assu rance, that as he has risen, so will he reign, and so will he set in peace.

Book Description
Excerpt from Critical and Miscellaneous Essays, Vol. 2 Therefore it is right that some person or persons should possess political power. That is to say, some person or persons must have a right to political power. It is because men are not in the habit of con sidering what the end of government is, that Catholic disabilities and Jewish disabilities have been suffered to exist so long. We hear of essentially Protestant governments and essentially Christian governments, words which mean just as much as essentially Pro testant cookery, or essentially Christian horseman ship. Government exists for the purpose of keeping the peace, for the purpose Of compelling us to settle our disputes by arbitration instead of settling them by blows, for the purpose Of compelling us to supply our wants by industry instead Of supplying them by rapine. This is the only operation for which the machinery of government is peculiarly adapted, the only operation which wise governments ever propose to themselves as their chief object. If there is any class Of people who are not interested, or who do not think themselves interested, in the security Of pro perty and the maintenance of order, that class ought to have no share Of the powers which exist for the purpose Of securing property and maintaining order. But why a man should be less fit to exercise those powers because he wears a beard, because he does not eat ham, because he goes to the synagogue on Saturdays instead Of going to the church on Sun days, 'we cannot conceive.
