Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1882 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IV. ENERGY. Energy, the third quality of style, expresses the force and vigor of composition, --the power with which it reaches its end. It is a leading quality of discourse, since this aims at an immediate and thorough effect. It springs chiefly from the will and desires, and is measured by their strength. The desires so direct and seal the will, that the tenacity of the latter must be determined by the firmness of the former. We speak of the desires: this language ought not, however, to imply any inherent distinction in them. They differ from each other in the objects which excite them, rather than in the feeling excited. From the very constitution of the mind, it cannot be indifferent toward its own good, its own enjoyment. It belongs to the very nature of happiness to impart desire, and this desire logically extends itself to all objects and actions which are found to be the conditions of pleasure. We would not say that the desire comes first, and that the enjoyment arises from its gratification, but that certain appetites and powers furnish us pleasure, and that this pleasure inspires desire for the objects with which it is connected. The enjoyments of the mind, like those of the body, arise independently of the desires, and enkindle them. But desire, though exclusively directed toward things capable of affording some independent pleasure, is not always proportioned to the value thus attaching to them. It may, as in avarice, acquire a constitutional hold on the mind, aside from any good to be realized in possession. As the motive power of life is furnished by the appetites, passions, and affections, the energy with which the mind is driven in any direction must depend on their vigor. The will goes forth to determine and...

(Excerpt from Natural Theology One cannot write well on ...)
Excerpt from Natural Theology One cannot write well on Natural Theology and undertake his task mechanically. He cannot make each day a day's march, and so reach the journey's end. Every step is in a contested territory. It is contended for on the one side by instinctive fears and aversions, by narrow but close-knit arguments, and the whole army of prudential sentiments. It is held on the other side by hope and aspiration, by the insight of large thought, and by those emotions which spring up as retainers of the moral nature. Every step, therefore, must be taken with courage, and firmly held with a loyalty to all that is highest within us and brightest before us.

The following Lectures were written with a desire to supply the want of an exclusive and compact treatise on the principles of taste. Though the literature of this subject is voluminous, there is no work which gives itself singly to a systematic statement of the nature of beauty, and of its primary and fundamental laws. Eames s Elements of Criticism, so long used in academic and collegiate instruction, contains matter which belongs to several distinct departments, and is not a complete or thorough presentation of the subject of taste, for which it has been chiefly relied on. IS omany principles have been established in the department of beauty, so much of the minds action in this direction is understood, as to entitle the subject to distinct consideration; and, at the risk of some offence, we have ventured to style our work Esthetics; or, The Science of Beauty.

(The present volume is iiidei eiident of the authors previ...)
The present volume is iiidei eiident of the authors previous volume, entitled Sociology. It is far more comprehensive, is for the most part diverse, and, so far as it offers the same material, presents it in a new form and in different relations. The volume is designed for the general student of Sociology rather than for the specialist. The references it contains are made both as giving authority and as drawing attention to co-ordinate, and often popular, discussions. The reader is not at liberty to infer, in eacdi case, that the persons mentioned support the view of the author. As there are full bibliographies of Sociology, there has been no effort to add another. The book is both theoretical and practical. The problems discussed are offered for the sake of the principles involved in them, and the principles are urged for the sake of the problems which come under them. It is prompted by a progressive temper, and, it is hoped, will awaken, correct, and guide the same temper in others. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
