Excerpt from Lectures on the Fourteenth Article of Amendment to the Constitution of the United States: Delivered Before the Dwight Alumni Association, New York, April-May, 1898 I have also thought it useful to annotate the whole Constitution. For this purpose, the search has been at the original source, and every volume of the Supreme Court reports has been examined. In this research and the preparation of the analytical index, I have been as...

In this volume Professor Guthrie continues and completes his account of Plato's philosophy.

Whenever effective preaching is done, three acts of "exegesis" are operative. There is the responsible exegesis of biblical texts, drawing from the words of scripture a word for the contemporary church. There is the exegesis of day to day life, where one "reads" the human situation with wisdom, strength, and honesty. Lastly, there is the exegetical witness of the preacher who from the riches of his or her own personal experience dares to procl...

Excerpt from A Booklet of Verse Primeval Man: Methought that I surveyed the conquered earth, And felt my breast swelling with pride of kind: - Man, feeblest, slayer with lightning of the mind, Lord of all life, and final judge of worth! Suddenly, the sky, roaring, gives wild birth To shaggy mammoths who the forests grind, Huge bears, and wolfpacks fleeter than the hind, That check my vaunting with a monstrous mirth: - "Thinkest our fea...

Excerpt from Émile Augier Professor Brander Matthews, in "The French Dramatists of the Nineteenth Century, " wrote what we cannot but believe to be his most delightful and serviceable book. Dipping into it from time to time since the first careful reading, I for one have never found myself disappointed, so that in furnishing here a few suggestions for the study of Emile Augier (1820-1889), by way of introducing the following efforts at transl...

Excerpt from An Address to the Public: On the Late Dismission of a General Officer I shall not pretend to any greater degree of correctness than any of my cotemporaries: I was willing only at my first outlet, to give them as it were a pledge of my frankness and ingenuity, avowing openly, that I meant to submit my thoughts to their consideration, and therefore addressing myself to them directly. The dismission of a general officer from the se...

Excerpt from Beyond Disillusion No question is more interesting to us in America than that of the perpetuation of the family. With the constant insistence upon the rights of the individual, not only to life, but to happiness, we find ourselves forgetting the value of hardship and discipline to the individual himself. We are disposed to regard all higher engagements and contracts in the light of their immediate reaction, gauged in terms of ple...

Excerpt from Songs of American Destiny: A Vision of New Hellas For ten years, the maker of these Songs of American Destiny has experimented more or less incessantly with rhythm and rhyme. It has been his desire not merely to acquaint himself practically with the known technique of English verse, but if possible to increase its extant resources. The Blank Verse of Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth and Tennyson has wondrous possibilities - but f...

Excerpt from Walt Whitman (the Camden Sage) As Religious and Moral Teacher This essay, the last in the recently published volume, "Modern Poet Prophets, " appears by itself alone for such as desire to see nothing between cover and cover but an honest attempt to remove obstacles of prejudice from the path of him who would seriously approach our Titan. Few like to admit that they have been converted. It is a dangerous admission. It implies the...

Excerpt from The Christian's Great Interest, Vol. 1 of 2 Reader, My design in detaining you with a preface, is not merely a recommendation of the of the following work, its character has been described by pens more capable than mine, and its real value asserted by names much more entitled to your confidence and respect. During the period of one hundred and fifty years the religious world have assigned it nearly the first rank among books of...

Excerpt from The Vital Study of Literature: And Other EssaysThe second third of this volume consists of three studies devoted to what may be called orphic poetry, by manifest allusion to the spell-power and the mystic unintelligibility of that singer, who set the trees deep-rooted in the soil of convention, a-dancing, and caused the brute beast of greed and carnal desire to wax human and divinely sane. That myth has long been to the writer a s...

Excerpt from The Christians Great Interest: In Two Parts, I, the Trial of a Saving Interest in Christ, II Now, when we set about any new exercise what ever, we first begin with that which is easy, and afterwards proceed therefrom to that which is more arduous. In the work of self-examination, there is a scale of difficulty - and it were well perhaps that we should make our first entrance upon the work at some of its lower gradations, lest we ...
