Philosophy of the human mind.

Miller, Samuel

Pages: 1 –35

If the physical sciences have received great improvements during the century under consideration, it is feared the same cannot, with truth, be said respecting the science of the human mind, and the auxiliary branches of philosophy. In this wide field, new experiments and discoveries, in the...

Classic literature.

Miller, Samuel

Pages: 35 –54

At the revival of learning in the fifteenth century, Classic Literature, or the study of the best ancient writers of Greece and Rome, was an object of primary and enthusiastic attention among the literati of Europe. The remains of those writers were sought with avidity, and studied with...

Modern languages.

Miller, Samuel

Pages: 91 –121

In this chapter it will only be attempted to present some brief and general remarks on the improvements which have been received during the last age by the more cultivated living languages of Europe. To propose a discussion of greater extent would be to engage in an inquiry altogether...

Philosophy of language.

Miller, Samuel

Biography.

Miller, Samuel

Pages: 149 –154

Romances and novels.

Miller, Samuel

Pages: 155 –179

Poetry.

Miller, Samuel

Pages: 180 –234

Poetry, in one form or another, has been the growth of every age with the history of which we are acquainted; and the eighteenth century had its full share of those who paid their court to the muses. It may be said with confidence, indeed, that the last age produced a far greater number of poets...

Literary journals.

Miller, Samuel

Pages: 234 –247

In the former part of the seventeenth century, "it was a consolation, at least for the unsuccessful writer, that he fell insensibly into oblivion. If he committed-the private folly of printing what no one would purchase, he had only to settle the matter with his publisher: he was not arraigned at...
