Excerpt from Biographical Lectures This was altogether one of the most extraordinary and deeply interesting extemporaneous addresses we have ever heard. Not so much for its eloquence, though replete with that quality, of an earnest, real, and glowing character; nor for its illustrations and imagery, though these were numerous, varied, and striking; but for its deep thought, wide comprehensive views, earnest sin cerity and truthfulness, its elevated tone, its noble and generous estimate of man's nature and worth, and its manly putting aside of petty conventionalities, and solemn regard for the great verities of life and immortality5 - we repeat, it was one of the most thought-awakening lectures we ever listened to. It was not a mere lecture on Carlyle, but a comprehensive survey of the spirit of the 18th century, and that which is dawning, or dawned, in the 19th5 a vigorous examination of the faults and merits of their literature and morality; an inquiry into the circumstances of the men that have effected a change in that spirit5 a bold sweeping away of much of the nonsense written and spoken of the style of Carlyle; a glance at what he has done to bring us acquainted with the greatest men of the age, the writers of Germany 5 and, with all these, an excursive, yet not discursive, going forth into and laying bare of popular fallacies, prejudices, and weaknesses, and a manly, fearless assertion of the right, the just, and the true, which astonished and delighted his auditors, and won the assent of their conviction, as manifested by their enthusiastic plaudits.

Excerpt from Lectures, Literary and Biographical OF the Lectures contained in this volume I have merely to say, that they were delivered at intervals, during the last few years, on be half of Literary Institutes, in the town of St John's, Newfoundland. Composed originally without any view to publication, amid the pressure of professional duties, and intended to meet the tastes of popular audiences, they are now, after a hasty revision, sent to the press. These circumstances may serve to ex tenuate some of their faults and imperfections; and, at the same time, will account for the method adopted in the treatment of the differ.

Excerpt from Sermons and Lectures: With a Biographical Sketch of the Author The affection of one who loved him as a father, and to whom he was more than a son, made it difficult to tell the story of his life; and hence it has been chiefly done in the words of others. The ar rangement of the discourses and the style of the book have been left to the discretion of the Book Editor. A. S. Andrews.

Ralph Waldo Emerson was one of the most well-read and respected thinkers of his day, and he remains one of the most influential American thinkers of the last several centuries. This collection provides the modern reader with the opportunity to read, unedited and unrevised, some of Emerson's work. It is a collection that shines a light on his Transcendentalist beliefs and his passion for individualism. Lectures and Biographical Sketches: Volume Ten contains a total of eighteen works, five of which are biographical sketches and the other thirteen are essays on a range of topics. Stand out essays include Demonology, Character, Education, and The Scholar. The included biographical sketches are all quality, and focus on Ezra Ripley, Mary Emerson, Samuel Hoar, Henry David Thoreau, and Thomas Carlyle. Included in this collection are also several works that had never been published before, including The Man of Letters, Historic Notes of Life and Letters in New England, and several more. Lectures and Biographical Sketches is an excellent collection of works by Ralph Waldo Emerson. The book provides the reader with the opportunity to read some of the author's lesser-known essays, including some that were unpublished before this collection. If you are a fan or critic of Emerson, this book can be a valuable addition to your personal library. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Preacher His Life and Work: Yale Lectures In the course of these lectures I am to speak on the general theme of "The Preacher: his life and work." There is little or no need of introduction. The only prefatory word I wish to offer is this. I have been in the Christian ministry for over twenty years. I love my calling. I have a glowing delight in its services. I am conscious of no distractions in the shape of any competitors for my strength and allegiance.

Excerpt from Lectures The following selections from the Lectures of the late Dr. Punshon are printed in the same order as that in which the Lectures were first published, so far as that order is known. Two of them, The Men of the May ower, and Science, Literature, and Re ligion, are now printed for the first time. It may be well to remind the reader that the lecture on Science, Literature, and Religion was prepared more than thirty years ago, While Dr. Punshon was still a Probationer for the Ministry. Necessarily, therefore, it here and there looks at the relative positions of the subjects compared from a point of view determined more by the state of questions at that time than at the present. The immense circulation which, as separately published, most of these Lectures have already had, is a guarantee that in this collective form they will pos.
