Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Green Book: Or Gleanings From the Writing-Desk of a Literary Agitator The following pages contain a few selections in verse and prose, the compilation of which was first suggested by the casual perusal, during a winter´s residence in the country, of an allusion, in the Quarterly Review, to two political and literary Societies, with which the author of this volume connected himself, at a period of life, when those who have not been under the necessity of adopting a regular profession or business devote their time to dissipation or intellectual amusement. Of this latter mode of spending some hours that might have been worse employed, the verses in the work are specimens. A desire of correcting the errors in the Quarterly respecting the political objects of the Societies alluded to, and the admission by such an eminent literary as well as politically-hostile periodical, that each of those Societies "exhibited public proofs that its labours were not frivolous or unproductive," suggested the idea, that a miscellaneous volume, like the present, might be of some use, from the light it would throw upon one of the most important portions of the agitation of the last few years; even independent of any additional service that such a publication might be made capable of rendering to the cause of voluntaryism in religion, and self-legislation in politics, without which there can neither be true Christianity nor real liberty in any country. Till each religion is left to support itself, and each nation is left to make laws for itself, there can be no such thing as justice; and there should be no such thing as tranquillity.
