Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lectures on Great Men "He who has been enabled to see, even dimly, a world of Beauty and of Joy which his brethren do not seem to see, and to feel heaven-descended influences which his brethren do not seem to feel, - such an one cannot be happy to enjoy these things alone. To live in luxury while his brother is dying of want, to enjoy the light while those around him, though having eyes as he, yet see not, - there is no resting-place here for the earnest Christian Man." So spake, in 1840, the revered Frederic Myers, when inaugurating plans he had formed for the spiritual education of his Parish. These words reveal the animating spirit of his noble efforts, of which these Lectures are "remains." He lived as one who felt that his Master´s mission was his, to go about teaching truth and doing good. The works of a man´s love are his works indeed, and of these Lectures it may be emphatically affirmed, they were the works of the Author´s love. His heart glows in every page, witnessing his vivid sympathy with the subject of his discourse. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
