Excerpt from Fragmentary Papers on Science and Other Subjects In his 'Recollections of Past Life, ' my Father writes as follows: - 'There is little probability of my ever publishing again, but I shall leave behind me a volume of manuscript papers consigned to the care of my sons, to deal with as their judgment may suggest.' Reference is here made to certain short essays upon various subjects, which are enumerated in p. 330 of his 'Recollectio...

Excerpt from The Philosophy of Faith and the Fourth Gospel The passages have. Been purposely chosen as con structive rather than controversial. The atmosphere of passing controversies has been deliberately avoided. The reader may sometimes be puzzled to find himself passing from philosophy to theology. On re¿ection he will, I think, see that this is only a natural consequence of what was to Dr. Holland at once his philosophy and his theology...

Excerpt from God's City and the Coming of the Kingdom The Church of God - everything conspires to make this the immediate subject round which all religious discussions turn, and towards which all the profoundest spiritual interests are set. Socially, we are compelled to demand a corporate Christian society. Individualistic forms of belief have become impossible. Intellectually and dogmatically, it has become increasingly clear that in the fac...

Excerpt from Personal Studies As the years fall away, and the earth empties itself of the voices and presences which made it famous to us, the desire grows strong to make an attempt to convey the memories of those who gave significance to our life down to another generation, to whom they are fast becoming mere names. This may serve me as an excuse, I trust, for venturing to collect and reprint papers and reviews which, in themselves, might b...

Excerpt from Memoir of Madame Jenny Lind-Goldschmidt, Vol. 1 of 2: Her Early Art-Life and Dramatic Career, 1820-1851 For the use made of the materials thus industriously collected, the two authors are solely responsible, and this general responsibility they have shared in common, so far as was practicable. But, within that common responsibility, each has undertaken separate sections of the work, so that to the one has fallen the story of Mada...

Excerpt from Henry Scott Holland: Memoir and Letters So many of Scott Hollands friends have helped me, that it is impossible for me to thank each of them here. Mrs. Ady, whose friendship with him goes back to 1870, was to have written this book: she and her daughter collected and arranged some of the materials for it: a long illness interrupted the work, and it was entrusted to me. I have given a full account of his early life, especially of ...

Excerpt from Travels in the Ionian Isles, Albania, Thessaly, Macedonia, &C, , Vol. 2 of 2: During the Years 1812 and 1813 Our party, in leaving Larissa, was further in creased by a Dervish travelling to Salonica, and by another Turk who was taking the same route. The Dervish belonged, as I believe, to the class of these religieuw called the Bektashis: his dress was that most common among the Dervishes, - a long cloke made of coarse white wool...

Excerpt from Some Theological Works What a portrait Holland might have drawn of himself, if only himself might have been someone else! Holland by Holland: brilliancy by brilliancy: sympathy and imagination in sitter and painter! As it was, it is the very last thing that he would ever have done. I never knew a humbler man. Words of compliment or praise to himself seemed to drop off him: he whisked them away with a sort of mixture of dislike an...

Excerpt from Sermons "And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger." - St. Luke xvii. 17, 18. There, in front of the Lord, with his face on the ground, lies, lost in the glory of thanksgiving, the solitary stranger who had been healed of his disease. We are told how the praises came pouring from his lips, his eyes are brimming with te...

Excerpt from Logic and Life: With Other Sermons We, clergy, suffer under difficulties in this matter. We cannot lie quiet, while we slowly accumulate the materials for a book We, of necessity, find ourselves preaching: and, naturally, we speak of what is uppermost in our minds, and so we tell our secrets, we announce ourselves as we move. If we happen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic b...

Excerpt from A Bundle of Memories This little book may Win forgiveness if its preventive and prohibitive purpose be fully recognized. It makes it finally impossible for me to write a volume of Reminiscences. It is wise to guard against this in time. For the period of anecdotage is fast drawing in upon me. And at any moment of weakness I might yield to a publisher's bribe, and the worst would have happened. It is the last dotty years that do a...

Excerpt from The Optimism of Butler's Analogy That challenge has been made, as yet, in vain. It has roused no concern, it has evoked no new examina tion of Butler's claims to philosophical importance. His work remains still outside the current of living speculation. Is it worth while, then, to go back on an issue that has been decided The case has been made with incomparable force, under unique conditions of power and pathos and the verdict ...
