Sinopsis
Excerpt from Principles and Prospects of the Friends of Peace: A Discourse Pronounced Before the Hartford County Peace Society, December 25, 1833
So much for French philosophy. In regard to the lighter literature of France, it must be allowed that its aspect for three years past, has not been so pleasing. It has strongly reflected the political and social fermentation which has existed since the revolution of 1830. The English reader will obtain a view of its character from the Foreign Quarterly Beview, No. 18, and the Edinburgh Review, No. 116. He will perceive that notwithstanding the wild and morbid spirit, the cynicism, the scenes of blended horror, mirth and attrocity which appear in the dramatic and roo mantic writings of Janin, Balzac, Rabou, Charles, doc. Yet the lighter lit critturs of the present day, is by no means a professedly ifqidel literature like that of the 18th century. In regard to these strange and exaggerated creations, it is a singular and consoling feature, that at the bottom of them all, lies the admission of the necessity of a religion. In short, it is a period of ferment. It is transitional. The agitation will disappear. In the mean time, there are writers, such as Victor Hugo, and Lamartine, who pour forth their inspirations from a loftier and moresequutered seat. The latter is, by universal consent, admitted to be the Postof Frame; and his verses are imbued with a pervading spin rit of religion, with inmges and thoughts, rte-ascending to that heaven from which they had their birth.

Excerpt from Principles and Prospects of the Friends of Peace: A Discourse Pronounced Before the Hartford County Peace Society, December 25, 1833
Now who could have been found thirty or forty years ago in Paris, to give utterance to such sentiments in a course of public lectures on philos - splay? Who would have come to hear them? Or if an audience could have been gathered, would not such views have been received with hissing and execration'} Yet these lectures, in 1828 and 1829, were attended by more than three thousand auditors composing the very elite of Paris Society. They were heard with unbounded delight and applause; and so eager was the public curiosity, that abstracts of them were daily published in the papers, the lectures were taken down in short hand at their delivery, corrected by the author, published weekly, and propagated to every part of France. Thesis facts certainly indicate that a great change has taken place in French thinking. If the reader will consult the writings of B. Constant, Boyer, Collard Joufl'my, Laramigw'ere, and many others, that might be named, who enjoy a brilliant reputation, he will find them pervaded by a similar spirit. Unquestionably there is still a great amount of materialism and infidelity in France, especially among certain physicians and naturalists. But infidelity and mate rialism have lost altogether the predominance they formerly had. They do not occupy the high places as before. The current is in the other die rection. This appears even in the tone adopted by the adyocates of mm terialism. Broussais, a distinguished physician and physiologist, and I believe the only eminent writer who has lately appeared on the side of mm the preface to his work, de l'irritatt'on et de la Folie, (paris feels himself compelled to protest against the unpopularity of the Sensual philosophy, and complains that the advocates of materialism cannot now obtain a fair hearing. In short, from every quarter.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the history of the Peace Movement and reflects upon the future of international peace. It begins by acknowledging that most people deplore war but for a variety of reasons do not support peace societies. This book directly addresses the arguments of these unreconciled individuals who often believe ending war is either impossible or impractical. The author points out that, historically, the use of violence to solve disputes has greatly diminished. He cites the example of feudal warfare in Europe, which, at one time, was pervasive. The author also provides arguments against defensive warfare. He notes that the true teachings of Jesus Christ stress nonresistance and presents examples where nonviolent resistance has been successful. He concludes by stating that Peace Societies are optimistic about the future and believe with the help of a universal adherence to Christian principles, the abolition of war is possible. The book will engage those interested in Christianity, war and peace, and ethics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
