Excerpt from Institutes of Logic 1. The central conception of Intellectual Philosophy is that implied in the term Truth. This, with the cognate term Certainty, indicates the aim of intellectual effort as animated by the natural desire of knowing. Knowing has various ends or degrees. We may seek simply to know ordinary matters of fact, to acquire science, to go back on the first principles and laws of knowledge itself. We may rest in the individual fact, we may generalise and classify, we may speculate on what is ultimate in knowledge. In each case, however, what we seek is Truth and Certainty. 2. Speaking generally, Truth is the harmony or conformity between fact or reality and our knowledge of it. Fact may mean either an individual thing, quality, object, or a class or law, generalised or necessary, of matter or mind.

The families introduced into the valleys of the Tweed and its tributaries by David I. and his immediate successors have now nearly all disappeared from the district. With a few exceptions, even their names have passed away from the hills and glens over which they once ruled, or they are borne by landless representatives. But their abandoned towers or dwelling-places still form one of the most characteristic and suggestive features of the scenery of Tweedside. The ruined Border Peel meets you on many a knowe. But, as a rule, not much of it remains. In many cases the tower itself, with the quaint human Ufe carried on within it the comfort there was, the terror and alarm, the hopes and fears, the courage to face danger, all have equally passed away; and seldom VOL.

Excerpt from The Feeling for Nature in Scottish Poetry, Vol. 2 of 2 With the passing away of the men mentioned in the foregoing chapter, Scottish poetry sank into a species of theological bondage, which destroyed its freedom, spirit, and power during the latter half of the sixteenth century. The union of the Crowns in 1603 helped still further to enervate, or even quench, its native spirit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Border land of Scotland--that district of hill and valley through which flow the streams of the Liddel, the Teviot, the Ettrick, the Yarrow, and the Tweed--thus nursed in far back times of Scottish history, down to the Union of the Crowns, a people remarkable for personal courage and warlike spirit, for a proud feeling of independence, a stern strong individualism of character. Withal, they had hearts capable of being finely stirred by song-- warmed to enthusiasm by the simple tale of local prowess; again touched to softness by the love strain, or by the story of widowed grief; again awed by glimpses of that weird and supersensible world which their fancies and their fears created for them, and which they believed lay bordering so near this world of common life and everyday experience, that at any moment it might flash on them in the form of fairy pageant in the green glen, or weird wraith on the moor, or water-spirit mingling its wail with the sough of the flood. This Border land has been for long one of the great founts of Scottish poetry,--and of a form of poetry which possesses features so characteristic that no one who has. an ear for the melody of the human soul can mistake its genuine, its native tones. Those features are simplicity of diction, picturesqueness of narrative, a truthful and simple realism, with deep feeling, and the complete subordination of the poet to his subject or theme. The Ballad and Song of the Border land have taken their rise, character, and colouring almost entirely from local circumstances. Nothing can be less indebted to inspiration outside of the district itself than these ballads. They have been a pure growth of the soil. Border men did the deeds...

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. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIII. THOMAS THE EHYMOUR, AND THE EARLY ROMANTIC SCHOOL OF POETRY IN THE LOWLANDS. The struggle with Edward I. not only interrupted the social prosperity of the kingdom; it interfered seriously with the literary and intellectual development which had undoubtedly begun under David I. and the Alexanders, and of which we can still detect some faint traces. The Abbeys of Melrose, Dryburgh, Kelso, and Jedburgh were at this early period schools of a higher type--all that was to be found for High School and College. They preserved what kind of learning there was at the time, and, during the period of upwards of one hundred and sixty years, from David I. to the death of Alexander III., were useful as teaching institutions in the Lowlands. We find several references in the chronicles and charters to the sending of the sons of the lairds to those cloister schools. Matilda, the widowed Lady of Molle, a distinguished family of the thirteenth century, gave to the Abbot and Convent of Kelso a portion of her dower lands, on condition of their maintaining her son with the better and more worthy scholars in "the poors' house" of the abbey. "Exhibebuut Willelmo filio meo in victualibus cum melioribus et dignioribus scholaribus qui reficiunt in domo pauperum."1 The date is 1260. Michael Scot, the reputed "Magus" or Wizard, but a perfectly definite historical character, several of whose writings we still have, was unquestionably connected with a Border family, and may have got his taste for science and philosophy quickened and fostered in some abbey school by the Tweed. He was born, according to tradition, in the Castle of Balwearie, in Fife. His father was a Sir Eichard Scot, his mother Margaret Balwearie of that ilk, who brought the property to...

While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

The Feeling for Nature in Scottish Poetry, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint)

(Excerpt from The Feeling for Nature in Scottish Poetry, V...)

Excerpt from The Feeling for Nature in Scottish Poetry, Vol. 1 of 2 To me it has often seemed curious and puzzling that at any time in the history of Scottish national feeling, and especially national poetry, there should not have been a deep, quick, and impassioned emotion for the hills, the glens, the bums, and the gleaming rivers of the country, - such as the Tweed and the Nith, the Teviot and the Tay. It has even appeared to me surprising that the mists in the glens and on the hills, with their breaks, their wreaths, and the cleaving glints of sunshine through them, should not always have been to the onlooker a source of wonder and delight.
