Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Critical and Political, Vol. 2 Many of the essays in this volume were written and published a good many years ago. Much has altered since they were written, and the views then expressed might have to be modified if the essays had to be rewritten to-day. But the opinions were held when the words were written, and although a resurrection of dead essays may seem a foolish experiment, there is enough of interest in some of them to make the experiment worthy of a trial. I have in no case tried to bring the essays up to date, but have reprinted them as they were published in these years, now too far away. I have to thank the editor of the National Review for his permission to reproduce in this volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
