Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 2 of 3: Stories and Essays I pass over the dinner, which was doubtless very interesting to them, but very uninteresting to me, especially as I knew I was only stationed at the table to satisfy a scruple of society, and a dozen scruples of my precise relative. After the cloth was removed and the tea was brought up, they settled down to a regular evening at back-gammon, while I was left to amuse myself in a distant corner with my box of paints; and I did so by drawing highly-coloured caricatures of my aunt and her adorer. When I was tired of this sport, about nine o'clock at night. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 2: Essays, Tracts or Addresses, Moral and Religious A recent essayist, whose work has attracted more than usual notice, the Rev. Henry Woodward, has forced prominently for ward the fact, that nearly all our reasonings concerning the Wisdom of God imply some limitation of his power. To a being, Omnipotent in the gross and popular sense, wisdom must be wholly useless, and in fact becomes in him an unintelligible quality. As policy is superfluous to a conqueror who can apply overwhelming force, so is wisdom superseded by omnipotence. We admire the adaptation of lungs to air, and of air to the lungs, on the supposition that a difficult problem has been proposed, how to free the blood from noxious particles But if we are asked, why might not the divine fiat have done it as well? One reply alone is to be had, - that there are other objects to be gained by adhering to the general laws of matter, which objects could not have been so well gained by a direct exertion of divine power. If otherwise, there would be no intelligible wisdom in employing a circuitous, rather than a direct method of effecting the end. The like may be observed in every other case. Hence, wisdom and power are in one sense antagonistic qualities; the more you enlarge the sphere of the latter, the more you diminish that of the former; and every time we ascribe wisdom to the divine agent, we virtually imply some unknown limitation to his power, and deny the existence of almightiness in its vulgar sense. To ignorant persons, who have imbibed with their devotional feelings the popular idea of omnipotence, it is apt to appear a profane thing to assert, that it is not within the power of the Almighty to recall the past; or, to construct a square which shall have the properties of a circle. But all thoughtful and philosophical minds have long been aware, that that which is self-contradictory does not lie within the Sphere of power; and that it 18 no degradation to the Almighty that he cannot make the same thing both to be and not to be.

Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 1 of 2 There are, of course, higher and lower degrees of this faith; its object is one more or less worthy: but it is in all cases the belief in certain unseen eternal facts, by keeping true to which a man must in the long run succeed. Must; because he is more or less in harmony with heaven, and earth, and the Maker thereof, and has therefore fighting on his side a great portion of the universe perhaps the Whole for as he who breaks one commandment of the law is guilty of the whole, because he denies the fount of all law, so he who with his whole Soul keeps one commandment of it is likely to be in harmony with the whole, because he testifies of the fount of all law. I shall devote a few pages to the story of an old hero, of a man of like passions with ourselves of one who had the most intense and awful sense of the un seen laws, and succeeded mightily thereby of one who had hard struggles with a flesh and blood which made him at times forget those laws, and failed mightily thereby: of one Whom God so loved that He caused each slightest sin, as with David, to bring its own punishment with it, that While the flesh was delivered over to Satan, the man himself might be saved in the Day of the Lord; of one, finally, of whom nine hun dred and ninety-nine men out of a thousand may say, I have done worse deeds than he: but I have never done as good ones.'

Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 2 of 2 She sat motionless till it was dark, and then one of the sisters asked admittance. It was Helena, the youngest of the nuns, and the one who had most intercourse with Liese. She set down the lamp, and drawing Liese away from the window, placed her beside her on the couch. I did not come sooner, she said, though many of the sisters asked for you. I knew that their spirits would be too much for you. They were even for me, though I cannot feel so melancholy as you do.
