Fruits of Solitude by William Penn Pdf

Excerpt from Fruits of Solitude: Reflections and Maxims Relating to the Conduct of Human Life The publishers feel that they have been fortunate in their discovery of William Penn's Fruits of Solitude for the fourth volume of the Lakeside Classics. Although the book was immensely popular during the latter half of the eighteenth century, yet the scattered volumes of its many editions have found their way to but few private libraries, and the work is to-day almost unknown. Still, it possesses the same charm that carried it through its early editions. The publication of the book as an American classic may and undoubtedly will be questioned, but Penn's connection with the early history and settlement of the country warrants the extension of the claim of America to anything connected with him. Although the Maxims were first published in England, as Mr. John Vance Cheney, the editor of the present edition, informs the reader in his Introductory Note, yet the volume from which this edition is copied was printed in Philadelphia in 1797, presumably on type cast in the young republic.

Fruits of Solitude, in Reflections and Maxims Relating to the Conduct of Human Life. by William Penn. the Tenth Edition by William Penn Pdf

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

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. 1841 edition. Excerpt: ...great and small. 409. Her sentence is not guided by the person, but the cause. 410. The impartial judge, in judgment, knows nothing but the law; the prince, no more than the peasant; his kindred, than a stranger. Nay, his enemy is sure to be upon equal terms with his friend, when he is upon the bench. 411. Impartiality is the life of justice, as that is of government. 412. Nor is it only a benefit to the state; for private families cannot subsist comfortably without it. 413. Parents that are partial, are ill obeyed by their children; and partial masters not better served by their servants. 414. Partiality is always indirect, if not dishonest; for it shows a bias, where reason would have none; if not an injury, which justice every where forbids. 415. As it makes favourites without reason, so it uses no reason in judging of actions: confirming the proverb, "The crow thinks her own bird the fairest." 416. What some see to be no fault in one, they will have criminal in another. 417. Nay, how ugly do our failings look to us in the persons of others; which yet we see not in ourselves. 418. And but too common it is, for some people not to know their own maxims and principles in the mouths of other men, when they give occasion to use them. 419. Partiality corrupts our judgment of persons and things, of ourselves and others. 420. It contributes more than anything to factions in the government, and feuds in families. 421. It is a prodigal passion, that seldom returns till it is hunger-bit, and disappointments bring it within bounds. 422. And yet we may be indifferent to a fault. INDIFFERENCE. 423. Indifference is good in judgment, but bad in relation, and stark naught in religion. 424. And even in judgment, our indifference must be to the...

Fruits of Solitude by William Penn Pdf

Excerpt from Fruits of Solitude: Reflections and Maxims Relating to the Conduct of Human Life The author blesseth God for his retirement, and kisses that gentle hand which led him into it: for though it should prove barren to the world, it can never do so to him. He has now had some time he could call his own, a property he was never so much master of before: in which he has taken a view of himself and the world; and observed wherein he hath hit and missed the mark; what might have been done, what mended, and what avoided, in his human conduct: to gether with the omissions and excesses of others, as well societies and governments, as private families and persons. And he verily thinks, were he to live over his life again, he could not only, with God's grace, serve him, but his neighbour and himself, better than he hath done, and have seven years of his time to spare. And yet, perhaps, he hath not beenthe worst or the idlest man in the world; nor is he the oldest. And this is the rather said, that it might quicken thee, reader, to lose none of the time that is yet thine. There is nothing of which we are apt to be so lavish as of time, and about which we ought to be more solicitous; since without it we can do nothing in this world. Time is what we want most, but what, alas! We use worst; and for which God will certainly most strictly reckon with us, when time shall be no more. It is of that moment to us in reference to both worlds, that I can hardly wish any man better, than that he would seriously consider what he does with his time; how and to what end he employs it; and what returns he makes to God, his neighbour, and himself for it. Will he never have a ledger for this; this, the greatest wisdom and work of life? To come but once into the world, and trifle away our true enjoyment of it, and of our selves in it, is lamentable indeed. This one reflection would yield a thinking person great instruction. And since nothing below man can so think, man, in being thoughtless, must needs fall below himself. And that, to be sure, such do, as are unconcerned in the use of their most precious time.
