Pages From An Old Volume Of Life is a collection of essays written by Oliver Wendell Holmes. The essays provide a glimpse into the life and times of the author, who was a physician, poet, and essayist. The essays cover a wide range of topics, including literature, art, science, and philosophy. They also touch on personal experiences and observations, making the book a fascinating read for those interested in the author's life and times. The essays are written in Holmes' signature style, which is witty, insightful, and often humorous. The book is a must-read for fans of Holmes' work, as well as anyone interested in the history of literature and culture in the United States.In opposition to this view, there are many languid thinkers who lapse into a forlorn belief that if this or that man had never lived, or if this or that other man had not ceased to live, the country might have gone on in peace and prosperity, until its felicity merged in the glories of the millennium. If Mr. Calhoun had never proclaimed his heresies; if Mr. Garrison had never published his paper.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
