Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of General Knowledge, Introductory to Useful Books in the Principal Branches of Literature and Science: Designed Chiefly for the Junior Students in the Universities, and the Higher Classes in Schools
If I should be fortunate enough to succeed in pro curing for eminent writers any additional degree of regard; if I should excite a more ardent and more active attention to any branches of useful knowledge and if the variety Of my topics should contribute to diffuse more widely the light of general information and useful truth I shall have the satisfaction to reflect that my time has not been sacrificed to a frivolous purpose by thus endeavouring, in conformity with the occupations of the most valuable portion of my life,.to instruct the rising generation.

Elements of General Knowledge, Introductory to Useful Books in the Principal
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to a wide range of subjects that will benefit those in higher education, and will prove most useful to young people in their senior years of school. Whether they are studying religion, literature, history, logic, mathematics, natural history, or the fine arts, this book will provide a firm foundation for further study. It includes a very useful chapter on logic, which is presented as an exercise, rather than a subject of abstruse terms and argumentative subtlety, and as such will be very accessible to readers of any age. The author insists upon the Christian religion as the very basis of all knowledge, a moral imperative as well as a fascinating subject in its own right. It is for the reader to decide whether they agree with the author on this. Certainly, the Christian religion has left an indelible mark on the history of civilization, from the arts and sciences to the structure of society itself, and for this reason if no other, merits study and analysis. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282600273_0
