Excerpt: ...the idea of it present to his mind, during the whole time of his confinement, sweetening all the bitterness of it, and will never have known the distress of uncertainty, or the agony of despair. Whenideas only are concerned, and not both ideas and sensations, the influence of hope and fear is much more distinctly perceived, and the nature of this comprehension of mind will be better understood by it. Instead, then, of putting a case in which we ourselves are concerned, let us put the case of a wife, a child, or any other near relation or friend, with whom we can truly sympathise, taking part in all their joys and sorrows. If we see them in prison, and, after apprehending that their confinement will be for life, have private information that they will be released, and placed in very agreeable circumstances in a few days, weeks, or months; we can see them in the mean time, even though we are, not allowed to communicate our intelligence to them, with joy almost unmixed; because the future is realized, and the agreeableness of it heightened in our ideas by its contrast with the present; which, being temporary, is overlooked by us, as nothing, and has not power to damp our satisfaction. If my child be peevish and obstinate, and I be sensible that pain and mortification will do him good, I can, without the help of much anger, have a kind of satisfaction in inflicting it, and have little or no sympathy with what he suffers; though, for a time, he be in an agony of distress, and think very unkindly of me. On the other hand, ifl foresaw that he would lose a limb in a few days, weeks, or months, I should look upon him in the mean time with a most painful compassion, notwithstanding he himselfshould be ever so happy, and enjoy himself ever so much;...

Excerpt: ...At Constantinople it was formerly eaten by young scholars, sent from the school for that purpose, as is related by Evagrius, who wrote at the endiof the sixth century. The Council of Toledo, in 693, left it to the liberty of each particular church, either to keep what remained of the consecrated elements, orto eat it; but, in the latter case, it was ordained that the quantity consecrated should be moderate, that it might not oppress the stomachs of those who were appointed to take it. But, in whatever manner they disposed of these sacred elements, it was the custom not to leave any of them till the next day.1 One would imagine that we had seen superstition enough in this one article of Christian faith and practice, within thifl period; but we shall find much greater abuses in the next: and notwithstanding the reater light of the present age, they continue unreformed in t e church of Rome to this day. SECTION III.. The Ifistory of the Eucharist, from the Time of Paschasius to the Reformation. WE are now arrived at the most distinguished tern in the history of the eucharist; after having seen how much the eucharistical elements in this age of darkness had gained in point of sacredneas and solemnity, and how awful a thing the act of communicating was generally apprehended to be; so that commonly the priest alone communicated, and the people very seldom, except at the time of the greater festivals, and especially at Easter. This was in consequence of the people in general being impressed with a confused notion that the eucharistical elements were, in some sense or other, the body and blood of Christ, and therefore that Christ himself was present in them. But in what manner he wasipresent they seem to have had no clear 'idea. This...

This engagingly written new work highlights Britain's long-underestimated and pivotal role in disseminating the ideas and culture of the Enlightenment. Moving beyond the numerous histories centered on France and Germany, the acclaimed social historian Roy Porter explains how monumental changes in thinking in Britain influenced worldwide developments. Here is a "splendidly imaginative" work that "propels the debate forward ... and makes a valuable point" (New York Times Book Review).
