PREFACE. SOME years ago Mr. Kebles MS. Sermons were entrusted to us, with a view to our making selections from them for publication. This has been done, and eleven Volumes have been, published, under the superintendence of Dr. Pusey, who wrote a Preface to the Volun e for Lent, which was the first published, though now standing fourth of the ten Volumes which form the series for the Christian Year. Vol. XI. being a miscellaneous collection. But together with the mass of Sermons dating from the year 1815 to 1865, thus reaching over half a century, and other MSS. sent to us, there were a large number of scraps of paper of all sorts and sizes, backs of letters, of parish notices, C., C., past counting, but weighing, when put together, over five pounds. These had been found, when Mr. Kebles papers had to be removed from Hursley Vicarage, scattered about in all kinds of places, and had been carefully collected by his nephew, the Rev. J. Keble, jun. , from whom we received them. . These sketches bring vividly before me the recollection of days long ago, how he used to sit at the round table in the little Hursley Vicarage drawing-room, bending over his book or paper, in the midst of conversa They were at first set aside, while we were occupied with the work of selecting the Sermons, and preparing them for the press but when that began to draw to a close, the loose papers were looked into, and the more they were considered, the more valuable they appea ed varying extremely in character, there was in them that combination of exceeding simplicity with deep and accurate theology, and wonderful familiarity with Holy Scripture, which is such a marked characteristic of his Sermons and many of them had an originality peculiarly his own, which their very shortness and abruptness seemed to bring out, even more forcibly than if they had been filled out into finished compositions. A number of them were copied, and shewn to Dr. Pusey, who entirely approved of their publication, and kindly looked over and compared with the originals, by far the larger number of those which form the contents of the present Volume. Specimens of them have since been occasionally submitted to others, in whose judgment we had confidence, and in every case the expressions of approval have been strong and uniform. In more than one instance the opinion was even given, that these outlines would be, to some, of more value than finished Sermons. It has been thought that they may be of use in two ways first as notes or sketches for Sermons this was no doubt the purpose for which they were originally tion grave or gay, in which he would from time to time take part, taking off his spectacles, looking up, and breaking in with please say that again, I did not quite hear.-R. F. W. written, and as it may beinteresting and instructive, especially to young preachers, to see how the Author himself expanded his notes, a few have been introduced. into the Volume, of which the working out will be found amongst the series of Sermons for the Christian Year, alluded to above -thus No. xxvi. of these outlines will be found worked out into Sermon 16, Vol. 111. No. xxvii. in Sermon 18 of the same Vol. No. xciv. seems to have been expanded into two Sermons, viz. 20 and 21. in Vol. I. No. cii. will be found in Sermon 20, Vol. IX...

Excerpt from book: he visa too wise to entertain. In the midst of his projects for the conquest of Asia, he fell by the hand of an assassin. CHAP. V. ALEXANDER AND HIS SUCCESSORS. Alexander. Alexander was in his twentieth year when his father was u. c. slain: he had been educated by Aristotle, and his naturally 337. great talents sedulously cultured. Difficulties environed him on his accession: the Athenians and Thebans, on the intelligence of the death of Philip, were flying to arms, when Alexander appeared in Bceotia at the head of an army. They were terrified, and desisted. The IHyrians and Triballi had made inroads into Macedon: the young prince marched against them, and conquered to the Danube. A report was spread in Greece of his death: Thebes rose in arms; but Alexander suddenly returned, entered Bceotia, and took and levelled that city. All Greece was now at his devotion. He called on the different states for the contingents they had voted his father for the invasion of Asia; and, at the head of 33-1. 30,000 foot and 4500 horse, passed the Hellespont. At the river Granicus the Persian army opposed his progress: it met a total defeat, and all Lesser Asia fell to the conqueror: he restored the Grecian cities to independence, and pursued his march through Cilicia. At Issus, in the pass of the mountains 333 J' ';ng into Syria, he again encountered and defeated the n ersian army. He continued his progress southwards, took 332. Tyre, after an obstinate resistance, and reduced all Egypt to subjection. He here founded the most permanent monument of his fame, the city of Alexandria,a place that has exercised such influence on the political and moral relations of the world as ever to render it memorable,marched with a select body of men to the oasis containing the temple of Am- mon, and ...

out of the house of bondage

- Genre: Books
Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: THE PHYSICAL DESTINY OF THE AMERICAN NEGRO America has been called the universal melt ing pot, in which the various nationalities of Europe are to be fused into one homogeneous type. This alembic, however, is supposed to affect only the different branches of the Aryan race. The accepted assimilative process is not universal in its scope, but is limited to the continent of Europe. The white races alone are deemed eligible components of the desired compound. The polychrome races and sub-races of Asia, Africa, and the scattered islands of the seas are not considered as contributory factors to the forthcoming composite American type. The primal passion of mankind recognizes no ethnic limitations or physical barriers of race, but results in fusion of blood wherever it has unconstrained exercise and scope. Racial antipathies real or alleged, political pronouncements, religious inhibition, social proscription, all break down in face of the cosmicurge to multiply and replenish the earth. The sons of God, in their supercilious security, never fail to look lustfully upon the daughters of men, while shielding their own sisters from the embraces of the lower order of males. The composite progeny is the offspring of the male sex of the stronger race and the female sex of the weaker; but, in the final fetching up of things, the same results will be accomplished. "Wherever different racial elements are brought into proximity, physical separation can be safeguarded only by legislative enactment, religious sanction, and the excitation of race antipathy by artificial stimulus. Universal experience shows that natural aversion of races does not possess strength and stubbornness to preserve purity of breed. The white race in America is put to its wit's end to keep its racial stock free from ...

on the study of words

But a caution is necessary here. We must not regard as certain in every case, or indeed in most cases, that the first rise of a word will have exactly consented in time with its first appearance within the range of our vision. Such identity will sometimes exist; and we may watch i the actual birth of some word, and may affirm with confidence that at such a time and on such an occasion it first saw the light--in this book, or from the lips of that man.
