Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Afternoon Lectures on English Literature: Delivered in the Theatre of the Museum of Industry, S. Stephen´s Green, Dublin, in May and June 1863 The special value of lectures has been well shown for some years past in the history and success of large associations in our cities and towns, consisting for the most part of young men whose daily pursuits shut them out from the ordinary means of mental improvement. Experience has shown that books are often laid aside by those to whom oral teaching is very acceptable; and while the libraries of Mechanics´ Institutions have been comparatively neglected, the evening lectures of "Young Men´s Societies" have been thronged. No city has witnessed more happy results from these lectures than Dublin; and they have been eagerly listened to by many for whom they were not exactly designed, while large numbers have had reason to regret that the hour and the place have been such as practically to exclude them.
