Excerpt from Selections From the Writings of Fenelon: With a Memoir of His Life No apology is necessary for giving anything to the public from the pen of Fenelon. Such were the elevation and liberality of his spirit, that it soared above party, to diffuse itself over all the interests of humanity. He was in spirit and in truth a Christian; a lover of God and man. His pure and expansive thoughts could not in their nature be confined to any sect or country. It is true that he was not above all the prejudices and influences of education. Who is? But his was one of those pure and beneficent spirits, which from their natures belong to the whole of mankind. It is not contended that he has done as much as some others to enlarge the limits of human science. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
