Book Description
Excerpt from The Experimental Novel: And Other Essays After having explained the experimental considera tions common to living beings and to inanimate, Claude Bernard passes to the experimental considerations which belong specially to living beings. The great and only difference is this, that there is presented to our consideration, in the organism of livings beings, a har monious group of phenomena. He then treats of practical experiments on living beings, of vivisection, of the preparatory anatomical conditions, of the choice of animals, of the use of calculation in the study of phenomena, and lastly of the physiologist's labora tory.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Tocsin of Revolt: And Other Essays They are self-centered and impatient of con trol. They are inclined to boast themselves as the foes of tradition and as the enemies of con vention. They claim a large freedom for them selves; and, like the Puritans of old, they are prone to deny a like freedom to others. Their opinions may be half-baked, but their prejudices are case-hardened. They see no reason to sus peet that there may be interstices in their om niscience. They feel assured in their juvenile energy that they know it all; and they are not yet old enough to have found out that the man who knows it all does not know much, does not indeed know himself, which is the be ginning oi knowledge. In their callow imma turity they would only sniff contemptuously if they happened to hear the oft quoted saying of the Master of Trinity, that we are none of us infallible - not even the youngest of us.

The Forgotten Man and Other Essays (Classic Reprint)
Author: William Graham SumnerPublisher: Forgotten Books

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 564
Book Description
Excerpt from The Forgotten Man and Other Essays With the present collection the publication of Sumner's Essays comes to an end. The original project of publishers and editor contemplated but a single volume - "War and Other Essays" - and they accordingly equipped that volume with a bibliography which was as complete as they then could make it. But when, later on, other materials came to be known about, and especially after the discovery of a number of unpublished manuscripts, the encouraging reception accorded to the first venture led us to publish a second, and then a third collection: "Earth Hunger and Other Essays" and "The Challenge of Facts and Other Essays." It was during the preparation of the latter of these, now some five years ago, that the late Professor Callender deplored to the editor the omission of certain of Sumner's essays in political economy - in particular those dealing with free trade and sound money. And the reviewers of preceding collections had reminded us, rightly enough, that there should be a fuller bibliography and also an index covering all the essays. In this last volume we have striven to meet these several suggestions and criticisms. And it is now the purpose of the publishers to form of these singly issued volumes a set of four, numbered in the order of their issue.

Our Early Female Novelists, and Other Essays (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from Our Early Female Novelists, and Other Essays In the history of English story-telling an altogether notable place is occupied by Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. They are remarkable not only as masterpieces of narrative, but as containing both description of incidents and delineation of manners; not only as triumphs of literary expression, but as giving artistic form both to the romance of chivalry and to the tale of common life. Wholly wonderful it is that at so early a period such directness of movement and perfection of style, such vividness of portraiture and realism of incident, are found in verse, while centuries pass before similar excellences are found in prose. It is, indeed, peculiarly interesting to contrast Chaucer's practice with the subsequent course of English fiction.
