Excerpt from Early Essays and Lectures I have disinterred these short essays and lectures from several magazines, some Of ancient, some Of more modern date, at the solicitation of a few well-wishers in Ireland and America, who have expressed a desire to possess them in a combined and permanent form. And for this reason, and also because I have marked them as. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Seventy-nine Short Essays on Design brings together the best of designer Michael Bierut's critical writing—serious or humorous, flattering or biting, but always on the mark. Bierut is widely considered the finest observer on design writing today. Covering topics as diverse as Twyla Tharp and ITC Garamond, Bierut's intelligent and accessible texts pull design culture into crisp focus. He touches on classics, like Massimo Vignelli and the cover of The Catcher in the Rye, as well as newcomers, like McSweeney's Quarterly Concern and color-coded terrorism alert levels. Along the way Nabakov's Pale Fire; Eero Saarinen; the paper clip; Celebration, Florida; the planet Saturn; the ClearRx pill bottle; and paper architecture all fall under his pen. His experience as a design practitioner informs his writing and gives it truth. In Seventy-nine Short Essays on Design, designers and nondesigners alike can share and revel in his insights.

Excerpt from Ralph Waldo Emerson: Together With Two Early Essays of Emerson There are many persons in Brooklyn who never heard his name. The majority of the people of this city do not know that they ever read five lines of his writing. Yet it is without hesitation that I say that the life of every person in Brooklyn is to-day affected, and it is affected for good, by the life and the words of this Yankee prophet of the latter half of the nineteenth century.

Book Description
Excerpt from Historical Essays I find, a little to my surprise, that a fourth edition of this first series of essays is needed, while the second series still remains in the second edition and the third remains in the first. I should have thought that the last, containing writings at once more mature and on the whole on fresher subjects, would have been the favourite of the three. But I must take facts as I find them.

Book Description
Excerpt from Occasional Essays The essays published in this volume are, for the most part, reprints of papers written at different times during the past fifteen years. The reader will no doubt perceive that one or two of them are somewhat -early productions and need a little indulgence. The contrast between the two papers on America, is explained by the fact that the first reflected the dark hues that tinged the political firmament before the out break of the civil war, whereas the second caught the glow of patriotism which prevailed in the Northern States for some time after the conclusion of that contest. Looking from our present stand-point, we should say that the first took too dark, the second too bright a view of American institutions politic have indeed relapsed into a state of corruption which appears to be chronic in that country, but the forces for good which abide in the social and religious life of the people, will neutralise in great measure the evils that cling to its political system.

Book Description
Excerpt from Essays in Criticism: First Series Several of the Essays which are here collected and reprinted had the good or the bad fortune to be much criticised at the time of their first appearance. I am not now going to in ict upon the reader a reply to those criticisms for one or two explanations which are desirable, I shall elsewhere, perhaps, be able some day to find an opportunity; but, indeed. It is not in my nature, - some of my critics would rather say, not in my power, - to dispute on behalf of any Opinion, even my own, very obstinately. To try and approach truth on one side after another, not to strive or cry, nor to persist in pressing forward, on any one side, with violence and self-will, - it is only thus, it seems to me, that mortals may hope to gain any vision of the mysterious Goddess, whom we shall never see except in outline, but only thus even in outline. He who will do nothing but fight impetu ously towards her on his own, one, favourite, parti cular line, is inevitably destined to run his head into the folds of the black robe in which she is wrapped.

Book Description
Excerpt from Collected Essays The apology offered in the Preface to the first volume of this series for the occurrence of repeti tions, is even more needful here I am afraid. But it could hardly be otherwise with speeches and essays, on the same topic, addressed at intervals, during more than thirty years, to widely distant and different hearers and readers. The oldest piece, that On the Educational Value of the Natural History Sciences, contains some crudities, which I repudiated when the lecture was first reprinted, more than twenty years ago; but it will be seen that much of what I have had to say, later on in life, is merely a development of the propositions enunciated in this early and sadly imperfect piece of work.

Book Description
Excerpt from Essays, Critical and Political, Vol. 1 The essays here collected were written many years ago, but they are concerned with matters - such as the merits of great writers - which never grow old. It is on that ground I have thought it worth while reprinting them. In each case I have given the date of the earlier publication that any of their contem porary references may be understood. The prisoner who was asked if he had anything to say why sen tence should not be passed on him for the crime of which he had been convicted, said that he hoped his lordship would take into consideration the youth of his counsel. It would be foolish to claim that these essays were early essays, and therefore en titled to clement criticism. The judgments expressed were the opinions of a younger man than the writer of this preface, as the dates frequently show, but although the latter might alter some of the criticisms, he on the whole agrees with these more youthful utterances. He has to thank the manager of the Times for his permission to reproduce two of the essays con. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
