Some Fruits of Solitude by William Penn Pdf

As a Quaker preacher, minister, and missionary in the late seventeenth century, William Penn was imprisoned for his faith many times. After being falsely accused of treason, Penn was forced into hiding. During those three years of imposed solitude, he had time to think, reflect, and reevaluate. This book is the product of that solitude. In it, Penn distills the essence of his spiritual idealism, combining it with practicality and common sense. Translated into today’s English by Eric K. Taylor, Penn’s wisdom is even more accessible to the contemporary reader. In this new edition, Penn’s voice can once again be heard in its simplicity and timelessness—sharing his fruits of solitude.

Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... DEGREESome {fruitjs of Solitude IN Reflections and Maxims IGNORANCE 1. It is admirable to consider how many Millions of People come into, and go out of the World, Ignorant of themselves, and of the World they have lived in. 2. If one went to see WindsorCastle, or Hampton-Court, it would be strange not to observe and remember the Situation, the Building, the Gardens, Fountains, &c. that make up the Beauty and Pleasure of such a Seat? And yet few People know themselves; No, not their own Bodies, the Houses of their Minds, the most curious Structure of the World; a living walking Tabernacle: Nor the World of which it was made, and out of which it is fed; which would be so much our Benefit, as well as our Pleasure, to know. We cannot doubt of this when we are told that the Invisible Things of God are brought to light by the Things that are seen; and consequently we read our Duty in them as often as we look upon them, to him that is the Great and Wise Author of them, if we look as we should do. 3. The World is certainly a great and stately Volume of natural Things; and may be not improperly styled the Hieroglyphicks of a better: But, alas! how very few Leaves of it do we seriously turn over! This ought to be the Subject of the Education of our Youth, who, at Twenty, when they should be fit for Business, know little or nothing of it. EDUCATION 4. We are in Pain to make them Scholars, but not Men! To talk, rather than to know, which is true Canting. 5. The first Thing obvious to Children is what is sensible; and that we make no Part of their Rudiments. 6. We press their Memory too soon, and puzzle, strain and load them with Words and Rules; to know Grammer and Rhetorick, and a strange Tongue or two, that it is ten to one may never be useful to th

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.
