Author Description

Excerpt from Freedom Through Limitation: Life Problem Series Some ten or fifteen years ago, when I first read Emerson's essay on Compensation, it made upon me a deep impres sion, though I did not then know that what is there stated by the writer is scientifically accurate. Plain and direct laws of the universe, such as those of gravity or hydrostatics, are not doubted by any one of ordi nary intelligence, because their effects are so plainly to be seen, and cause and effect are immediately joined one to the other. The law of compensation equally with these is of God; and it must therefore be just as exactly true. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
