Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Character Sketches, Or, the Blackboard Mirror: A Series of Illustrated Discussions, Depicting Those Peculiarities of Character Which Contribute to the Ridicule and Failure, or to the Dignity and Success of Mankind; Also, a Number of Moral, Practical, and Religious Subjects, Presented in an Entirely Ne In presenting this volume to the public we do so believing that it fills a place in literature peculiarly its own, and that wherever it goes it will be read and appreciated by the masses of the people with both pleasure and profit to themselves. The ancient philosopher wisely enjoined, "Man, know thyself;" and the poet has longingly sung, "O wad some power the giftie gie us;" but the man who invented the looking-glass alone gave us the physical means "To see oursels as others see us." This book is truly a mirror. It flings back upon us the reflections of our own characters and those of our neighbors, uncovered and standing side by side, with a vividness of revelation and a truth of comparison that must help one to correct his own faults and exercise a greater charity toward his unfortunate fellows. The subject-matter and illustrations of the work compose a scries of forty-one character sketches and other illustrated lectures or blackboard talks delivered recently by Rev. G. A. Lofton before crowded assemblies on Sunday afternoons. Though delivered weekly in the same building, they created a genuine sensation which lasted for a full vear, with increasing intensity from beginning to close.
