As I Was Saying

By Horace James Bridges

"As I Was Saying" is a compelling collection of essays by Horace James Bridges, a prominent figure in the Ethical Culture movement. This work offers a series of intellectual reflections on literature, philosophy, and the social fabric of the early 20th century. Bridges engages with the works of notable figures such as Samuel Butler and Mark Twain, providing astute critical analysis while weaving in his own humanist perspective on morality and religion.

The essays traverse a wide range of subjects, from the nuances of Victorian literature to the evolving ethics of modern society. With a style that is both erudite and accessible, Bridges invites readers to contemplate the enduring questions of human conduct and the role of tradition in a changing world. "As I Was Saying" serves as a significant record of humanist thought during the interwar period, showcasing the author's ability to bridge the gap between rigorous scholarly inquiry and public discourse. It remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of ideas, literary criticism, and the development of secular ethics.
