Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Review of the Remarks on Dr. Channing´s Slavery The "Remarks on Dr. Channing´s Slavery" are written in strong though not acurate language, with liveliness of illustration and general attractiveness of style. The subject is an all-interesting one: the book remarked upon is from a great and popular author. The Remarks are therefore read by many. This writing is a dangerous one; tending, if we mistake not, to do the community much harm. It is so, first, because it is written in a spirit of skepticism with regard to moral means of influence. It treats the expectation of change to be wrought by appeals to men´s consciences, to their sense of the right, to their love of the beautiful, of the pure, of the honest, as visionary and childish. We are taught to believe that no projects are practical, but those that appeal directly to interest, to selfishness, - that virtue in the abstract is well enough to talk about, to form a subject of sermons and poems, of the day-dreams of enthusiasts and the discussions of ministers, but that it has little to do with the actual, prosaic affairs of life. Now moral means of influence are not vain. They are real. They are powerful. They have wrought great changes; they will work greater. They are, they always have been, they must necessarily be, of great efficacy in the history of the world. What revolutions in the opinions, the tastes, the habits of nations have been brought about by the writings of single men! How has the face of society been changed by the unseen, silent. sure influence of principles of religion, of philosophy, of politics, infused into the public mind by gifted writers and speakers!
