Description
Hamilton examines the global career from a background of society. Each one of the 25 essays center on a singular attribute of the subject. For instance, the first essay, “Tool or Man?” finds two insights of man. One is that of power as the source of safety. The other is that of an art lover, as a fanatic of the arts or scholastics or belief. In our society, the source of safety is the victor each time. Human as a basis of many skills cannot be permitted. As the writer outlines the dispute, “Specialisation has been carried so far that it has become an organised tyranny.” Hamilton supports the notion of a world in which we see the entire man, not only as the source of safety. In the next essays, Hamilton copes with development from childhood to adulthood, the function of education, and man’s pursuit for liberty. Hamilton Wright Mabie, A.M., L.H.D., LL.D. was an essayist, editor, critic, and lecturer. He was born in Cold Spring, N. Y.. Hamilton was the youngest son of Sarah Colwell Mabie who was from a prestigious Scottish-English family and Levi Jeremiah Mabie, whose forefathers were Scots-Dutch. They were one of the first settlers to New Amsterdam, New Netherland around 1847. Because of trade openings with the inauguration of the Erie Canal his family emigrated to Buffalo, New York when he was a forthcoming pupil. When he was 16 years old, he qualified for his college entrance examination, but expected a year before he enrolled at Williams College in 1867 and the Columbia Law School 1869. He is widely regarded for these quotations: “Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.” and “Don’t be afraid of opposition. Remember, a kite rises against, not with the wind.” A few of his works include: Norse Stories, Retold from the Eddas; Nature in New England; My Study Fire; In the Forest of Arden.
