About the Book

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. 1849 edition. Excerpt: ...be tedious in some degree--which hardly seemed desirable. Then it was asked, What isstrength? Some answered, Power. What was Power? Some said, Effectiveness. But it was soon felt that these definitions left us like Swift s definition of style, that it was the use of proper words in proper places. What were proper words and proper places still remained open questions. So, if power was strength, and strength effectiveness, what was effectiveness was still unknown. It was finally agreed that to be strong was to be just, and to avoid being tedious was to be brief. We, therefore, agreed that remarks just and brief were the proper characterisation. For what was just could never be too strong, and what was brief could never be too tedious. From which we also learned that the secret of the strength of comment lay in just sentiments, and that tedium was the tiresome progeny of prolixity. Pakaoansos announced what Cogan reiterated, that it is as i18cessary to know evil as good; for who can know what is good with out knowing what is evil? This principle of contrast is that upon which truth depends for it development and effect for its power. It is the principle on which similies are founded. To preserve peace and to do good is a. very old maxim of morality. Feltham thus enforces it;-- When two goats, on a narrow bridge met over a deep stream, was not he the wiser that lay down for the other to pass over him, rather than he that would hazard both their lives by contending? He preserved himselffrom danger, and made the other become debtor to him for his safety. lwill never think myself disparaged either by preserving peace or doing good. This comparison elevates the sentiment, relieves its repetition...
