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. 1869 edition. Excerpt: ... conclusion. ef a small essayist, departing from the field wheron he has had his day, say a word about his craft. He has always tried to write fairly and kindly: to say what he thought true: and if possible to help his anxious fellow-pilgrims to bear the burden of the day. He has sought to set things in an encouraging and consolatory light. To this end he has turned away as far as might be from the great field of the tragical and distressing, of which we have all known only too much. I knew well that round my little precinct there howls a great stormy wicked world: I did not want to see or hear more of it than I could help. I have kept to' a small region of unexciting topics, fit to be thought of quietly. We have quite enough of vexation and worry in our actual life: I wished that any one taking up such a volume should be sure that he would not find any additional vexation here. There are wild tracts in the world of thought: very sublime, very awful, very heart-breaking: sometimes no worse than stinging with a million little envenomed stings. Other feet walk these. Great geniuses, in fiction and in tragedy, have led us through these realms, fascinated, shuddering, catching glimpses of awful black chasms, of irremediable wrong, of grinding misery, of inexpiable crime. Doubtless it is good for us sometimes to give ourselves up to that grand guidance: but it is not rest that we get under it. Many human beings find it hard wear of heart and head. "Of course, I read it," said Dr Parr of Sardanapalus; "and could not sleep a wink after it." Not such should be the result of reading an essay. Indeed, just the contrary. I wished that whoever came with me should (as it were) turn into a little green corner of a quiet garden, to rest a while. I was...
