Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sense: Or Saturday-Night Musings and Thoughtful Papers
There is something so much beyond human reasoning in this life, that one hardly dares to stop thinking long enough to think! It is so terrible to be lost! And there is so much, and yet so little, that who of us has the courage to step, even in thought, beyond the present. So many have gone before, yet they tell us nothing, and we play like children waiting the bell!
It seems as though we c0uld make the path to the school-room door an easier one to walk in if we would. If we but took half the pains to shun the brambles and ugly points we take to run upon them, how easy would be the read! And thus it is that we at night loosen the curtains, tone the light, draw the easy-chair to hearth and fender, forget the world, and run the pen, line upon line, doing to others as we would have them do by us.
