Excerpt from Essays, Speeches and Sermons This volume contains a selection from the Essays, Sermons, Speeches, Addresses, and miscellaneous writings of Bishop Thirlwall. The bulk of the Essays consists of those originally published in the Philological Museum, a journal which was started by him and his friend Julius Charles Hare, and intended, as the latter informs us in his Preface, to forward "the knowledge and the love of ancient literature," the main attention of the Editors being directed "toward the two colossal edifices that stand forth amid the ruins of the ancient world;" and their main object being "to illustrate the language, the literature, the philosophy, the history, the manners, the institutions, the mythology, and the religion of Greece and Rome." Foremost among these Essays is that on the Irony of Sophocles, a masterpiece of philosophical criticism. To these I have added two Essays read before the Royal Society of Literature, of which the Bishop was for many years President. They are now reprinted from its Transactions, by the kind permission of the Council of that Society. Of occasional Pamphlets I have selected those that seemed to be of most permanent interest, or which, like that on "The Pan-Anglican Synod," were characteristic of the author. The Sermons collected in this volume have, with two or three exceptions, already appeared in print. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Miscellaneous Sermons First. The greatest of all follies is a mockery of God by insincere repentance, by that fluctuation between sin, and Sorrow, resolution and infringement, - by that endless circle of penitence, and crime, which they tread, who know virtue only by its labours, and extract nothing from guilt but re morse. The first stage of repentance is in every man's power, and almost in every man's practice. If sighs and tears could purchase the kingdom of Heaven, and a sad face expiate a wicked life, hardness of heart would indeed be weakness of understanding: but, though God is merciful, he is not fallible, nor will he take the odour of sacrifices, or the incense of words, in the lieu of a solid, laborious virtue. In the Christian religion there is no compensation, no arrange ment, no shifting, no fluctuation, no dalliance with duties, no deference to darling vices: if the eye offends us, we must pluck it out; if the hand is sinful, we must cut it ofiz - Better to merit heaven by every suffering, than eternal punishment by every gratification.

Excerpt from Essays, Lectures, Addresses, Sermons, and Miscellaneous and Descriptive Pieces: Including a Discussion on Education OF the fact that of making many books there is no end we are fully conscious. Neither do we fondly seek to persuade ourselves that the present production is just the desideratum to fill a long felt want. Honored usage has prescribed that a book-maker furnish some apology for the innocuous vanity of appearing in print. When the enraptured eye of Dickens first rested on his fascinating effusions arrayed in the decoration of type, he attempted the novel performance of reading them, while standing upon his head; which freak Edmund Burke would doubtless define as an effort to live in an inverted order. We shall, probably, never be the sport of such strange ups and downs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Sermons, Doctrinal, Miscellaneous, and Occasional IN preparing this Edition, the sermons have been carefully revised, - additions made to some, retrench ments in others, and some changes also in their arrangement. An additional sermon has been in 'serted, on the true nature of the Faith spoken of in the Gospels: this now stands as Sermon IV. The sermon on' The New Jerusalem, as being the first that the author composed, is now placed first in the volume, thus increasing the number of Doctrinal Ser mons to twelve. With these improvements, it is hoped that the work will be found still more useful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
