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 of 3 IN some of the treatises which make up this volume there are a few pages of bare outlines. They were intended to be fully clothed, orally, by the lecturer at the moment of delivery. Some readers may find fault with the editor because he has not expanded these outlines. His reply to all such is: his efforts to develop the author's meaning would have taken space from the author himself.

Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 2 of 3: Literary and Religious In an ancient fresco painting, from the Catacombs of Rome, our Blessed Lord is represented having a nimbus of glory on His head, and seated on a throne, and having in His left hand an Open Book (representing the Holy Bible) and raising His right hand in the act of Blessing. The Bible is also represented in its composite character, that is, as consisting of various writings, by two cylinders or caps containing written rolls, symbolizing the books of the Two Testaments. And the method in which the Bible is given by Christ to the World is shown by the figures of the two Apostles, St. Peter, the Apostle of the Circumcision, and St. Paul, the Apostle of the Gentiles, the one on one side of Christ, the other on the other side. Thus is displayed the great truth, that the Written Word is avouched by Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word; that it is His will that it should be opened in the eyes of all, to be seen, heard, and read by all; and that the Holy Scriptures are delivered by Him to the Apostolic Ministry of His Church, in order to be guarded, interpreted, and preached by her to all the world. This ancient fresco is a pictorial Essay on the Inspiration of the Bible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
