Books with author William Frederick Denning

Excerpt from BethlehemFor this Book not only represents a past in which you are as much mixed up as with that other past six years ago, but, by God's appointment, it calls up associations, which, if they are less joyous, are on that very account more tender. That Will of God, which has laid you aside and given you, apparently for life, only pain and endurance for your portion in the work of His vineyard, has disappointed many hopes and frustrated many schemes, which were more dear to us than strangers can ever understand. Yet I trust that neither of us have, even so much as in thought, rebelled against it.Your pilgrimage to the East did not - so God willed it -restore the health which you had lost in His service, and which, I have a right to say, was of even more value to me than to yourself. Neither has it pleased Him to give you the strength necessary to turn your journey to account in a literary way, for the good of His Church or the illustration of His Word. But much of this Book is yours. To you is owing all that is correct and accurate and pictorial about the scenes which it describes. It gives the Book a sort of sad value to me, to think that it is, with all its incompleteness, the only record of your painstaking visit to the Holy Places.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

My dear Father A ntony, Six years ago it seemed natural to me to cast what I had to say in the way of Preface toG rowth inH oliness into the shape of a Prefatory Epistle to you; so much and so affectionately were you mixed up with the past life and the past experience which that Book represented. It seems still more natural now, that I should do the same in the case of Bethlehem. For this Book not only represents a past in which you are as much mixed up as with that other past six years ago, but, by God sappointment, it calls up associations, which, if they are less joyous, are on that very account more tender. That Will of God, which has laid you aside and given you, apparently for life, only pain and endurance for your portion in the work of His vineyard, has disappointed many hopes and frustrated many schemes, which were more dear to us than strangers can ever understand. Yet I trust that neither of us have, even so much as in thought, rebelled against it.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

Excerpt from Telescopic Work for Starlight EveningsPlanetary Observations, and kindred subjects, which I furnished to 'the Observatory' and other scientific serials from time to time, have also been included, and the material so much altered and extended that it may be regarded as virtually new matter. The work has outgrown my original imten tion, but it proved SO engrossing that it was found difficult to ensure greater brevity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Spirit of Father Faber Apostle of LondonGod, the interests Of Jesus, and the welfare of souls, abound in good times, andseemtobeto thechurchwhat themiddle classes are to the prosperity of the state not its heroes, but its life, strength, muscle and independence. They are the growth of quiet times. Martyrs can be, and will be, made out of them by scores, when troubles come. But Saints, the spiritual creations of an interior life, belong to an other order oi things. It is plain, then, that in uneventful times it is our chief work to increase the middle class of the Faithful otherwise we shall be such dry and uninteresting Christians, that we shall never convert those outside the fold, and, what is even of more importance, we shall have nobody to love our multitudinous poor, or to take any generous, persever ing pains about them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
