Excerpt from Two Essays on the Remnant Yes, man is in general a political, a social animal, but not so are gods, whether because that is 'their nature, ' or by necessity, because there are not swarms or cities of such. And as a mother rears up with all endearment her children, only to see them at a touch of manhood detach and stand off by themselves, yet is instructed to feel satisfied, so the State, the fairest and best appointed of States, and the city compactly built together, brings forth a few gods, ' who depart from her and come not again, even when sorrow comes upon her in her old age. Who shall gainsay our doctrine of the Remnant, uttered alike by solemn Jew, quick-glancing Greek, and haughty Roman? To thee therefore, London, mother also of gods, hail! We know not whom thou hast yet in store! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
