Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 1 I have sometimes smiled at men, who in the midst of sorrow for the loss 'of those they loved, have seemed to findrthe greatest consolation -in describing their merits, and dwelling upon their virtues, their talents, and their accomplishments. Grief I have supposed to be sedate and retiring, indisposed'to communication, and above all things, incapable of exertion. 'i ridiculed the woes of Lord Lyttelton, whose poem on the death of his wife, though I could not deny its power over the heart of the reader, did not in -my opinion proceed from that of the author.

Book Description
Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 1 of 2 'Truth is stranger than fiction.' A trite remark. We all say it, again and again: but how few of us believe it! How few of us, when we read the history of heroical times and heroical men, take the story simply as it stands. On the contrary, we try to explain it away; to prove it all not to have been so very wonderful: to impute accident, circumstance, mean and commonplace motives; to lower every story down to the level of our own littleness, or what we (unjustly to ourselves, and to the God who is near us all) choose to consider our level; to rationalize away all the wonders, till we make them at last impossible, and give up caring to believe them; and prove to our own melancholy satisfaction that Alexander conquered the world with a pin, in his sleep, by accident. And yet in this mood, as in most, there is a sort of left-handed truth involved. These heroes are not so far removed from us, after all.

Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 2 of 2 She sat motionless till it was dark, and then one of the sisters asked admittance. It was Helena, the youngest of the nuns, and the one who had most intercourse with Liese. She set down the lamp, and drawing Liese away from the window, placed her beside her on the couch. I did not come sooner, she said, though many of the sisters asked for you. I knew that their spirits would be too much for you. They were even for me, though I cannot feel so melancholy as you do.

Book Description
Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 1 of 3: Literary and Religious The materials of which these three Volumes consist are derived for the most part from works published at intervals, from time to time, during a long period of years, which, as far as the Author is concerned, are, humanly speaking, now drawing to a close. He has employed the comparative leisure of a summer vacation in putting them together, with the hope, that, if they are of any value and are worth being preserved, they may thus perhaps acquire a permanence, which, in their separate form, they could hardly hope to obtain. In reviewing those portions of these Volumes, which refer to the religious and political condition and prospects of some foreign Countries, - especially France, Italy, and Germany, - the Author has recognized, not without feelings of regret, that the apprehensions he entertained when he wrote what is here published, have been too fully verified by events; and that providential opportunities then offered to those Countries of rearing up and consolidating the fabrics of National Institutions on the basis of Scriptural, Primitive, and truly Catholic Christianity, have almost passed away; it may be hoped, not irrecoverably.

Book Description
Excerpt from My Miscellanies, Vol. 1 of 2 The various papers of which the following collection is composed, were most of them written some years since, and were all originally published - with many more, which I have not thought it desirable to reprint - in 'Household Words, ' and in the earlier volumes of 'All the Year Round.' They were fortunate enough to be received with favour by the reader, at the period of their first appearance, and were though worthy in many instances of being largely quoted from in other journals. After careful selection and revision, they are now collected in book-form; having been so arranged, in contrast with each other, as to present specimens of all the shorter compositions which I have contributed in past years to periodical literature.

Book Description
Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 1 of 2: Chiefly Historical At the close of my forty years of teaching in the Rochester Theological Seminary I print the following addresses, sermons, and essays, with the hope that they may be found of sufficient value to justify my putting them into this permanent form. Many of the occasions on which they have been delivered may be fairly called historical; some of the essays are more properly theological; the first of these volumes represents in general the former, while the second represents the latter class of material. Yet they one and all express the convictions with regard to fundamental truth which have been growing and deepening in my mind during my long period of service as an instructor of students for the ministry. The one system of doctrine, which I regard as not only scriptural, but rational, gives unity and color to both volumes, and the variety of circumstances under which the several papers have been produced has permitted repetition of ideas and illustrations which would have, been avoided in a more elaborate treatise. I am inclined to think that our Lord uttered more-than once the same maxims and parables, and I would hide behind his example. At any rate, I commend these hitherto scattered productions to his keeping, and would add to them the motto of our seminary, "Christo Deo Salvatori."
