Not at allhe felt a lively concern for\r\n  theological debate, he was a mathematician of the first rank, he made\r\n  original contributions to physics, he gave a realistic attention to moral\r\n  psychology. But he was incapable of looking at the objects of any special\r\n  enquiry without seeing them as aspects or parts of one intelligible\r\n  universe. He strove constantly after system, and the instrument on which\r\n  his effort relied was the speculative reason. He embodied in an extreme\r\n  form the spirit of his age. Nothing could be less like the spirit of\r\n  ours. To many people now alive metaphysics means a body of wild and\r\n  meaningless assertions resting on spurious argument. A professor of\r\n  metaphysics may nowadays be held to deal handsomely with the duties of\r\n  his chair if he is prepared to handle metaphysical statements at all,\r\n  though it be only for the purpose of getting rid of them, by showing them\r\n  up as confused forms of something else.

Judging, however, that it is now more than ever improbable\r\n  that I shall myself be able to detect any errors in my reasoning, I feel\r\n  that it is time to present the latter to the contemplation of other\r\n  minds; and in doing so, I make this explanation only because I feel it\r\n  desirable to state at the outset that the present treatise was written\r\n  before the publication of Mr. Mill's treatise on the same subject. It is\r\n  desirable to make this statement, first, because in several instances the\r\n  trains of reasoning in the two essays are parallel, and next, because in\r\n  other instances I have quoted passages from Mr. Mill's essay in\r\n  connections which would be scarcely intelligible were it not understood\r\n  that these passages are insertions made after the present essay had been\r\n  completed. I have also added several supplementary essays which have been\r\n  written since the main essay was finished.\nIt is desirable further to observe, that the only reason why I publish\r\n  this edition anonymously is because I feel very strongly that, in matters\r\n  of the kind with which the present essay deals, opinions and arguments\r\n  should be allowed to produce the exact degree of influence to which as\r\n  opinions and arguments they are entitled: they should be permitted to\r\n  stand upon their own intrinsic merits alone, and quite beyond the shadow\r\n  of that unfair prejudication which cannot but arise so soon as their\r\n  author's authority, or absence of authority, becomes known.\r\n  Notwithstanding this avowal, however, I fear that many who glance over\r\n  the following pages will read in the \"Physicus\" of the first one a very\r\n  different motive. There is at the present time a wonderfully wide-spread\r\n  sentiment pervading all classes of societya sentiment which it\r\n  would not be easy to define, but the practical outcome of which is, that\r\n  to discuss the question of which this essay treats is, in some way or\r\n  other, morally wrong. Many, therefore, who share this sentiment will\r\n  doubtless attribute my reticence to a puerile fear on my part to meet it.\r\n  I can only say that such is not the case. Although I allude to this\r\n  sentiment with all respectbelieving as I do that it is an offshoot\r\n  from the stock which contains all that is best and greatest in human\r\n  naturenevertheless it seems to me impossible to deny that the\r\n  sentiment in question is as unreasonable as the frame of mind which\r\n  harbours it must be unreasoning. If there is no God, where can be the\r\n  harm in our examining the spurious evidence of his existence? If there is\r\n  a God, surely our first duty towards him must be to exert to our utmost,\r\n  in our attempts to find him, the most noble faculty with which he has\r\n  endowed usas carefully to investigate the evidence which he has\r\n  seen fit to furnish of his own existence as we investigate the evidence\r\n  of inferior things in his dependent creation. To say that there is one\r\n  rule or method for ascertaining truth in the latter case, which it is not\r\n  legitimate to apply in the former case, is merely a covert way of saying\r\n  that the Deity, if he exists, has not supplied us with rational evidence\r\n  of his existence. For my own part, I feel that such an assertion cannot\r\n  but embody far more unworthy conceptions of a Personal God than are\r\n  represented by any amount of earnest inquiry into whatever evidence of\r\n  his existence there may be present; but, neglecting this reflection, if\r\n  there is a God, it is certain that reason is the faculty by which he has\r\n  enabled man to discover truth, and it is no less certain that the\r\n  scientific methods have proved themselves by far the most trustworthy for\r\n  reason to adopt. To my mind, therefore, it is impossible to resist the\r\n  conclusion that, looking to this undoubted pre-eminence of the scientific\r\n  methods as ways to truth, whether or not there is a God, the question as\r\n  to his existence is both more morally and more reverently contemplated if\r\n  we regard it purely as a problem for methodical analysis to solve, than\r\n  if we regard it in any other light. Or, stating the case in other words,\r\n  I believe that in whatever degree we intentionally abstain from using in\r\n  this case what we know to be the most trustworthy methods of\r\n  inquiry in other cases, in that degree are we either unworthily closing\r\n  our eyes to a dreaded truth, or we are guilty of the worst among human\r\n  sins\"Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.\"\r\n  If it is said that, supposing man to be in a state of probation, faith,\r\n  and not reason, must be the instrument of his trial, I am ready to admit\r\n  the validity of the remark; but I must also ask it to be remembered, that\r\n  unless faith has some basis of reason whereon to rest, it differs\r\n  in nothing from superstition; and hence that it is still our duty to\r\n  investigate the rational standing of the question before us by the\r\n  scientific methods alone. And I may here observe parenthetically,\r\n  that the same reasoning applies to all investigations concerning the\r\n  reality of a supposed revelation. With such investigations, however, the\r\n  present essay has nothing to do, although, I may remark that if there is\r\n  any evidence of a Divine Mind discernible in the structure of a\r\n  professing revelation, such evidence, in whatever degree present, would\r\n  be of the best possible kind for substantiating the hypothesis of\r\n  Theism.\nSuch being, then, what I conceive the only reasonable, as well as the\r\n  most truly moral, way of regarding the question to be discussed in the\r\n  following pages, even if the conclusions yielded by this discussion were\r\n  more negative than they are, I should deem it culpable cowardice in me\r\n  for this reason to publish anonymously. For even if an inquiry of\r\n  the present kind could ever result in a final demonstration of Atheism,\r\n  there might be much for its author to regret, but nothing for him to be\r\n  ashamed of; and, by parity of reasoning, in whatever degree the result of\r\n  such an inquiry is seen to have a tendency to negative the theistic\r\n  theory, the author should not be ashamed candidly to acknowledge his\r\n  conviction as to the degree of such tendency, provided only that his\r\n  conviction is an honest one, and that he is conscious of its\r\n  having been reached by using his faculties with the utmost care of which\r\n  he is capable.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 19003 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Romanes, George John \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Aug 7, 2006 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Romanes, George John,1848-1894 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43217572429981,"sku":"gb-19003-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/19003.jpg?v=1671438868"},{"product_id":"the-basis-of-early-christian-theism-gb-24328","title":"The Basis of Early Christian Theism","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Basis of Early Christian Theism\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA question which every author ought to ask of himself before he sends\r\nforth his work, and one which must occur to every thoughtful reader, is\r\nthe inquiry, Cui bono?what justification has one for treating the\r\nsubject at all, and why in the particular way which he has chosen? To\r\nthe pertinency of this question to the present treatise the author has\r\nbeen deeply sensible, and therefore cannot forbear a few prefatory words\r\nof explanation of his object and method.\nIn accounts of the theistic argument, as in the history of philosophy in\r\ngeneral, it has been customary to pass over a space of well-nigh ten\r\ncenturies of the Christian era in silence, or with such scanty and\r\nunsympathetic notice as to make silence the better alternative. Largely\r\nthrough the influence of such treatment as this, we moderns have almost\r\nforgotten at times that during this period there lived men inferior to\r\nnone in history in endowments of mind and influence on succeeding\r\ngenerations, and that there then took place some of the most significant\r\nand far-reaching intellectual conflicts in the history of thought. \"With\r\nCicero,\" says Professor Stirling, \"we reached in our course a most\r\nimportant and critical halting-place.... We have still ... to wait those\r\nthousand years yet before Anselm shall arrive with what is to be named\r\nthe new proof, the proof ontological, and during the entire interval it\r\nis the Fathers of the Church and their immediate followers who, in\r\nrepetition of the old, or suggestion of the new, connect thinker[Pg 10] with\r\nthinker, philosopher with philosopher, pagan with Christian.\"[1] To\r\nattempt to account for even one of the details of thought during this\r\nperiod cannot be without its advantages.\nFor Christianity gave a new and unique turn to thought. It brought with\r\nit a new set of data, and a new subject-matter. The Christian doctrine\r\nof God, the distinctions in the Trinity, the great doctrines centering\r\naround the person of Jesus Christ, though, perhaps, faintly foreshadowed\r\nin some of the earlier speculations, are, in their fulness and\r\ncompleteness, first given to the world by the Founder of Christianity.\r\nThe claims made for these doctrines, too, gave them a unique character.\r\nIn contrast with the half-hearted, faltering conclusions of the\r\nprevalent philosophical schools, Christianity asserted that its\r\nteachings were absolute truth; it claimed to be nothing less than a\r\nrevelation from the Creator of the world. It will be readily seen that\r\nthe introduction of such a system as this into the Greek world would be\r\nattended with important results, not only in its effects upon the\r\nintellectual life of the times, but also in the influence of the current\r\nphilosophical conceptions on the statement of its doctrine. The\r\nsignificance of this early period lies in the fact that, in the\r\npositive, definite system of Christianity, systematic thought, which was\r\nfast becoming disorganized and sceptical, found a center about which it\r\nmight rally and focus itself, and the scattered fragments of philosophy\r\nwere all collected together, by either friends or foes, about the new\r\nreligion. The new point of view and the new relations would be most\r\nsignificant, too, in that department of thought with which the contact\r\nof this new central system had most to do, and thus the treatment of the\r\ntheistic problem exhibits in a special degree the alteration in the\r\n[Pg 11]standpoint and method of philosophy. It threw into bold relief the old\r\nbasis of belief in the divine, and aroused a comparison and discussion\r\nof the validity of the various arguments hitherto used by speculative\r\nthought, and set them over in sharp contrast to the claims of the new\r\nrevelation. In the early period when this contrast was most clearly\r\nfelt, and time had not yet permitted a complete fusion and blending of\r\nthe two points of view, we find a simplicity of situation which will aid\r\nanalysis and facilitate the study of the relation of the old arguments\r\nfor the existence of a God to the Christian doctrine, and which will\r\nhelp in determining the elements due to each and in interpreting the\r\nreasons for the direction of thought on this subject, which\r\ncharacterized the whole of the Medival period.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 24328 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Cole, Lawrence Thomas \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 16, 2008 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Cole, Lawrence Thomas,1869- \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43218222088349,"sku":"gb-24328-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/24328.jpg?v=1671471649"},{"product_id":"theism-or-atheism-the-great-alternative-gb-25291","title":"Theism or Atheism: The Great Alternative","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTheism or Atheism: The Great Alternative\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShrouded in the cloak of philosophy, the question of the existence of\r\nGod continues to attract attention, and, I may add, to command more\r\nrespect than it deserves. For it is only by a subterfuge that it assumes\r\nthe rank of philosophy. \"God\" enters into philosophy only when it is\r\nbeginning to lose caste in its proper home, and then in its new\r\nenvironment it undergoes such a transformation as to contain very little\r\nlikeness to its former, and proper, self. It disowns its parentage and\r\nclaims another origin, and, like so many genealogists devising pedigrees\r\nfor the parvenu, certain philosophers attempt to map out for the\r\nnewcomer an ancestry to which he can establish no valid claim. Nothing\r\nwould, indeed, surprise the ancestor more than to be brought face to\r\nface with his descendant. He would not be more astonished than would the\r\nancient Eohippus on meeting with a modern dray-horse. In anthropology or\r\nhistory the idea of God may fairly claim a place, but it has no place in\r\nphilosophy on any sensible meaning of the word.\nThe consequence of this transference of the idea of God to the sphere of\r\nphilosophy is the curious position that the God in which people believe\r\nis not the God whose existence is made the product of an argument, and\r\nthe God of the argument is not the God of belief. The theory and the\r\nfact have no more likeness to each other than a chestnut horse has to a\r\nhorse-chestnut. A fallacy is perpetuated by appealing to a fact, but the\r\nfact immediately discredits the fallacy by disowning it in practice. The\r\ngrounds upon which the belief in God is supposed to rest, the reasoning\r\nfrom which it springs, are seen to follow the belief instead of\r\npreceding it. The roots are in the air, and on closer[Pg vii] inspection are\r\nseen to be artificial adornments, so many imitations that have been hung\r\nthere for the purpose of imposing on near-sighted or careless observers.\nThe purpose of the following pages is to make clear the nature of this\r\nalliance and to expose the real character of what we are asked to\r\nworship. There are, of course, many on whose ears any amount of\r\nreasoning will fall without effect. To that class this book will not\r\nappeal; it may be questioned whether many will even read it. They will\r\ngo on professing the belief they have always professed, and taking pride\r\nin the fact that they have an intellect which is superior to proof, and\r\nwhich disdains evidence when it runs contrary to \"my belief.\" Others\r\nwill, I expect, complain that the treatment of so solemn a subject is\r\nnot \"reverent\" enough. But why any subject should be treated\r\nreverently, as a condition of examination, is more than I have ever been\r\nable to discover. It is asking the inquirer to commence his\r\ninvestigation with a half-promise to find something good in what he is\r\nabout to examine. Whether a thing is worthy of reverence or not is a\r\nconclusion that must follow investigation, not precede it. And one does\r\nnot observe any particular reverence shown by the religious person\r\ntowards those beliefs in which he does not happen to believe.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 25291 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Cohen, Chapman \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: May 2, 2008 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Cohen, Chapman,1868- \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43218707218589,"sku":"gb-25291-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/25291.jpg?v=1671501672"},{"product_id":"modern-substitutes-for-christianity-gb-32006","title":"Modern Substitutes for Christianity","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModern Substitutes for Christianity\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nThat there is at present a widespread alienation from the Christian\r\nFaith can hardly be denied.

The first part,\r\n\"The Mystery of Evil,\" written soon after \"The Idea of God,\" was\r\ndesigned to supply some considerations which for the sake of conciseness\r\nhad been omitted from that book. Its close kinship with the second part,\r\n\"The Cosmic Roots of Love and Self-Sacrifice,\" will be at once apparent\r\nto the reader.\nThat second part is, with a few slight changes, the Phi Beta Kappa\r\noration delivered by me at Harvard University, in June, 1895. Its\r\noriginal title was \"Ethics in the Cosmic Process,\" and its form of\r\nstatement was partly determined by the fact that it was intended as a\r\nreply to[Pg vi] Huxley's famous Romanes lecture delivered at the University of\r\nOxford in 1893. Readers of \"The Destiny of Man\" will observe that I have\r\nhere repeated a portion of the argument of that book. The detection of\r\nthe part played by the lengthening of infancy in the genesis of the\r\nhuman race is my own especial contribution to the Doctrine of Evolution,\r\nso that I naturally feel somewhat uncertain as to how far that subject\r\nis generally understood, and how far a brief allusion to it will\r\nsuffice. It therefore seemed best to recapitulate the argument while\r\nindicating its bearing upon the ethics of the Cosmic Process.\nI can never cease to regret that Huxley should have passed away without\r\nseeing my argument and giving me the benefit of his comments. The\r\nsubject is one of a kind which we loved to discuss on quiet Sunday\r\nevenings at his fireside in London, many years ago. I have observed on\r\nHuxley's part, not only in the Romanes lecture, but also in the charming\r\n\"Prolegomena,\"[Pg vii] written in 1894, a tendency to use the phrase \"cosmic\r\nprocess\" in a restricted sense as equivalent to \"natural selection;\" and\r\ndoubtless if due allowance were made for that circumstance, the\r\nappearance of antagonism between us would be greatly diminished. In our\r\nmany talks, however, I always felt that, along with abundant general\r\nsympathy, there was a discernible difference in mental attitude. Upon\r\nthe proposition that \"the foundation of morality is to ... give up\r\npretending to believe that for which there is no evidence,\" we were\r\nheartily agreed.

It was because the doctrines of the Hamiltonian\r\nSchool were believed to be dangerous errors, which this process\r\nof thought exposes, that it was undertaken.\nLogically, and in the final analysis, there can be but two\r\nsystems of philosophical theology in the world. The one\r\nwill be Pantheism, or Atheism,both of which contain\r\nthe same essential principle, but viewed from different standpoints,the\r\nother will be a pure Theism. In the schools\r\nof Brahma and Buddh, or in the schools of Christ, the truth\r\nis to be found. And this is so because every teacher is to be\r\nheld responsible for all which can be logically deduced from\r\nhis system; and every erroneous result which can be so\r\ndeduced is decisive of the presence of an error in principle\r\nin the foundation; and all schemes of philosophy, by such a\r\ntrial, are seen to be based on one of these two classes of\r\nschools. Just here a quotation from Dr. Laurens Hickok's\r\n\"Rational Psychology\" will be in point:\n\"Except as we determine the absolute to be personality\r\nwholly out of and beyond all the conditions and modes of\r\nspace and time, we can by no possibility leave nature for the\r\nsupernatural. The clear-sighted and honest intellect, resting\r\nin this conclusion that the conditions of space and time[vi]\r\ncannot be transcended, will be Atheistic; while the deluded\r\nintellect, which has put the false play of the discursive understanding\r\nin its abstract speculations for the decisions of an\r\nall-embracing reason, and deems itself so fortunate as to have\r\nfound a deity within the modes of space and time, will be\r\nPantheistic. The Pantheism will be ideal and transcendent,\r\nwhen it reaches its conclusions by a logical process in the\r\nabstract law of thought; and it will be material and empiric,\r\nwhen it concludes from the fixed connections of cause and\r\neffect in the generalized law of nature; but in neither case\r\nis the Pantheism any other than Atheism, for the Deity,\r\ncircumscribed in the conditions of space and time with nature,\r\nis but nature still, and, whether in abstract thought or generalized\r\nreality, is no God.\"\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 37864 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Jones, Jesse Henry \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Oct 27, 2011 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Jones, Jesse Henry,1836-1904 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43220598489245,"sku":"gb-37864-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/37864.jpg?v=1671555504"},{"product_id":"theism-being-the-baird-lecture-of-1876-gb-45850","title":"Theism being the Baird Lecture of 1876","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTheism; being the Baird Lecture of 1876\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lectures in this volume have been delivered\r\nin Glasgow, St Andrews, and Edinburgh,\r\nin connection with the Lectureship\r\nfounded by the late Mr James Baird of\r\nAuchmedden and Cambusdoon.

The transition\r\nhas been rapid from negative criticism of the Christian\r\nreligion to direct assault upon the very foundation\r\nof all religionthe personality and providence of God.\r\nDistrust of a supernatural revelation, and denial of all\r\nauthority to the teaching of the sacred Scriptures, has\r\nbeen succeeded by doubt of the existence of God in the\r\nproper import of that sacred name. The Theistic postulate\r\nis degraded to the rank of a mere hypothesis, which is\r\npronounced inadequate to explain the universe. A \"law-governed\r\nCosmos, full of life and reason,\" eternal and in[Pg 5]finite,\r\nmust now take the place of a personal God, the\r\nCreator and Ruler of the universe. This is the \"New\r\nFaith\" which is to supersede the Old.\nThe question, \"Are we still Christians?\" has received\r\na final answer in the words of Strauss: \"If we would\r\nspeak as honest, upright men, we must acknowledge we\r\nare no longer Christians.\"[1] And in giving this answer he\r\nis confident he speaks in the name of a large and rapidly\r\nincreasing number of men who once believed in the truth\r\nof Christianity\"The We I mean no longer counts only\r\nby thousands.\"[2] The further question, \"Have we still a\r\nReligion?\" (understanding by religion \"the recognition\r\nand veneration of God, and the belief in a future life\")\r\nis also answered in the negative. Religion \"is a delusion,\r\nto abolish which ought to be the endeavor of every man\r\nwhose eyes are open to the truth.\"[3] The only question\r\nwhich now remains for the speculative intellect is, \"What\r\nis our conception of the Universe?\"the conception\r\nwhich henceforth must take the place of a personal God.\r\nThe answer of Strauss is explicit, and in his estimation\r\nfinal: \"The conception of the Cosmos, instead of that of\r\na personal God as the finality to which we are led by\r\nperception and thought, or as the ultimate fact beyond\r\nwhich we can not proceed, ... assumes the more definite\r\nshape of matter infinitely agitated, which, by differentiation\r\nand integration, develops itself to ever higher forms[Pg 6]\r\nand functions, and describes an everlasting circle by evolution,\r\ndissolution, and then fresh evolution.\"[4]\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 46544 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Cocker, B.

No such reproduction\r\nwould have been either expedient or\r\npossible. The lectures were not read: they\r\nwere spoken (with the aid of brief notes) in\r\nsuch terms as suggested themselves at the\r\nmoment; and their duration was rigidly\r\nfixed, to suit my academic audience, so as\r\njust to occupy the customary hour. Although,\r\ntherefore, they were largely (though\r\nnot wholly) based upon written drafts, none\r\nof the language, and not all the ideas and\r\nillustrations contained in the original could\r\nbe reproduced in the spoken lectures, nor\r\ndid everything in the spoken lectures represent\r\npassages in the written originals.\nIt is not, in these circumstances, surprisingviii\r\nthat the work has had, in large measure, to\r\nbe rewritten, though the argument itself, and\r\nthe order in which its various parts are presented\r\nfor consideration, remains substantially\r\nunchanged.\nI should not have troubled the reader with\r\nthis very unimportant narrative except for\r\nthe purpose of explaining the long interval\r\nthat has elapsed between the delivery of the\r\nlectures and their publication.

No one\r\nwho took any part in public affairs between\r\nMarch 1914 and the outbreak of the war, or\r\nbetween the outbreak of the war and the\r\npresent moment, is likely to regard these\r\nmonths as providing convenient occasion for\r\nquiet thought and careful writing.
