Produktbeschreibung
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.
