Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Are We Better Than Our Fathers?: Or a Comparative View of the Social Position of England at the Revolution of 1688 and at the Present Time The following Lectures were not prepared with any thought of their being published. In conjunction with one of my colleagues, I proposed to give a short series of Lectures in the small north-west chapel of the Cathedral; but that chapel being under repair at the time my Lectures commenced, and no other part of the Cathedral being available for the purpose, I was compelled to deliver them under the dome. The very large attendance on each occasion would have made any other arrangement inconvenient; but this I had not foreseen. The object of the Lectures was to point to the existence of deep disorder in our social system. I had called attention to the subject in the University pulpit at Oxford in 1860, and in a series of Sermons on the poorer classes in 1867-9. In them I had spoken of the evil positively; I thought it might secure more attention and interest if I reviewed our position relatively by comparing it with some past period in our history. The Revolution of 1688 was convenient for my purpose; I therefore adopted it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
