Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Discourse, Preached in the West Church, on Theodore Parker Perusing some speeches and discourses lately, I thought how funeral solemnities, obituary notices, and orations over the dead, show the cheapness of eulogy. Praise is easy, very easy at the tomb. The Latin has become an English proverb, to say nothing but good of those that are gone. Is this from a fine instinct, that evil is a passing cloud? Is our praise a tribute to the common soul in all men? Or, as censure is found alike easy for those who have differed from us, is it because it requires so little elevation in ourselves to commend our favorites? Not presuming to decide such questions, and not expecting, amid jarring clamors of approbation and detraction, to satisfy any party, in what I shall speak of Theodore Parker I shall but take this for my maxim, that death does not alter truth; while, to whoever in surprise at my topic may, with the old incredulity, ask, "Is Saul also among the prophets?" I answer, "Yes." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
