Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Jeremiad: An Address Delivered Before the Kansas State Bar Association, Wednesday, January 15, 1896 "An error is not the better for being common, nor truth the worse for having been neglected; and if it were put to the vote anywhere in the world, I doubt, as things are managed, whether truth would have the majority, at least while the authority of men, and not the examination of things, must be the measure." - Locke. A Jeremiad Gentlemen: All men hate those who prophesy evil. The visionaries who go around seeing only the end of the world in all things, and finding in the ordinary occurrences of life evidences in support of their gloomy prognostications - "gloomy pessimists," to make use of the exuberant expression of one of our Topeka editors - are generally looked upon as the pests of society, and their presence shunned by all sunny-tempered people.
