Book Description
Excerpt from Thoughts on Religion: And Other Subjects This vague definition, however, was the ray of light which guided him onward in Mathematical study. It became the Subject of continued thought. In his play hours, he would shut himself up in an empty room, and draw with chalk on the floor, triangles, parallelograms, and circles, without knowing their scientific names. He would compare these several fig ures, and would examine the relations that their several lines bore to each other; and in this way, he gradually arrived at the proof of the fact, that the sum of all the angles of a triangle is equal to two right angles, which is the thirty second proposi tion of the first book of Euclid. The young geometer had just attained this point, when his father surprized him, deeply occupied in the prohibited study. But he was himself no less astonished than his son, when, on examining into the, nature of his occupation, he ascertained the conclusion to which he had come and on inquiring how he arrived at it, the child point ed out several other principles which he had previously asoer tained, and at length stated the first principles which he had gathered for himself in the way of axioms and definitions.

Excerpt from Thoughts on Religion, and Other Curious Subjects M. Pafcal had laid the Scheme of this Work, many Years before his Death and yet we ought not to wonder that he began fo late to commit any part of it to'writing; for he had always accuiiom'd himfelf to think very maturely of things, and to range and difpofe them in his Mind, c'er he fuller ed them to venture farther, carefully weigh ing and examining which on ht to be pla eed firfi, and which laft, an what Order of the whole might feem molt conducible to the defired Effect. And then being Ma iler of an excellent, or, as we may truly fay, a prodigious Memory, fo as to have 0 ten declared that he never forgot any thing which he had once im rinted in it; he was under no Apprehen ton of letting thofe Thoughts, which he had at any time form'd, afterwards efcape him fo that it was ufual with him to tarry very long be fore he fet them down in Paper 5 either for want of Leifure, or becaufe the State of his Health, which was fearce ever better than crafy and uncertain, could not fupport a more laborious Application.

Book Description
Excerpt from Thoughts on Religion and Other Subjects: Written Originally in French Monsieur pascal having taken an early leave of the mathematics, of natural philosophy, and of other human studies, in which he had made so great a progress that there are, undoubtedly, but very few persons who have seen deeper into those subjects which he chose to handle, began when he was about thirty years of age to apply him self to things of a more serious and more elevated character, and to turn his whole thoughts, so far as his health would permit, on the Scriptures, the Fathers, and the discourses of practical Christianity.

Book Description
Excerpt from Private Thoughts on Religion, and Other Subjects Connected With It His observations on the corruption of our nature are undoubtedly most humiliating, and may at first re pel even some pious readers. But when his style and manner of expression on this subject are become fa miliar, and his full and elevated idea of Christianity as the remedy of it, is apprehended, this momentary dislike will yield to admiration and love. The reader will find that there is such a deep knowledge of scrip tural truth in these remarks, illustrations so new and striking, drawn from a variety of sources, and so holy a tendency in every part of the statement, that he will peruse it again and again, with increased advantage, and growing conviction and esteem.

Book Description
Excerpt from Religious Life and Thought The following observations on Religious Life and Thought, although appearing in the popular form of Sermons, and printed as they were delivered from week to week to my own Congrega tion, and having the slightness of structure that such communi cations require, are not hasty expressions of opinion. They are portions of a deliberately formed body of opinion. The concep tions of religion to be found in them have been elaborated at leisure. The statement of these conceptions is often made with little enough leisure; but I wish it to be distinctly understood that the Sermons do not set forth tentative essays at the solution of a great problem. I would rather that they were looked upon as sundry efforts to familiarize the public mind with results at which I have myself arrived after many years of special study. Not that I suppose for a moment that I have seen wholly round the subject treated of. I know it too well to entertain any such notion. I can honestly make use of words of Kant, applied by him to another subject of inquiry: Alle Aufgaben aufib'sen.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Cosmic View of Religion These pages undertake to deal with religion in its generic aspects, and from the side of the uni verse. The religious instinct is such a persistent radical, and so evidently here to stay, that the whole issue of the soul's fellowship with the Di vine may be investigated from the viewpoint of the unity of creation. If man has come up out of things, he will not, in the long run, be largely influenced by any theory of detachment. The better understandings, therefore, of what this human is, in his inmost being, are to be reached by a careful estimate of his permanent outward correspondences, and of his actions under them, and of the degree of mastery which they have over him. We have come to the time when the serious minded refuse to go to school to the teacher who has to have himself whipped into acceptance of the nature truths which research has uncovered. SO great and unquestioned have been the recent advances in psychology, in chemistry, in physics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Faith and Modern Thought The occasion of this little volume may be found in the spirit of modern discussion. The title - Faith and Modern Thought - was chosen by the writer long before he knew that a similar subject - Christianity and Modern Thought - had been proposed for a course of lectures in Boston, during the winter of 1875-6. The material is composed, in part, of essays prepared for special occasions, and subsequently published in Quarterly Reviews. If, in defence of certain positions, plain words have been employed, they are in reply to plain words employed in attack. If it be questioned whether the spirit of the book is in too close sympathy with the spirit of the time, the author has no reply to make; if it be asserted, he has no apology to offer. Earnest inquiry everywhere prevails. Old theories are scrutinized; new theories are criticised. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
