All Things Considered (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419105579)

""All Things Considered"" is a collection of essays by the renowned British writer and philosopher, G.K. Chesterton. The book is divided into various sections, each containing essays on different topics such as politics, religion, literature, and social issues. Chesterton's writing style is witty, humorous, and thought-provoking, and his essays often challenge conventional wisdom and offer fresh perspectives on familiar subjects. The topics covered in the book include the importance of tradition, the dangers of modernity, the role of religion in society, and the nature of human freedom. Chesterton's insights are still relevant today, and his essays continue to be widely read and admired by readers of all ages.Most of us will be canvassed soon, I suppose; some of us may even canvass. Upon which side, of course, nothing will induce me to state, beyond saying that by a remarkable coincidence it will in every case be the only side in which a high-minded, public-spirited, and patriotic citizen can take even a momentary interest. But the general question of canvassing itself, being a non-party question, is one which we may be permitted to approach. The rules for canvassers are fairly familiar to any one who has ever canvassed. They are printed on the little card which you carry about with you and lose. There is a statement, I think, that you must not offer a voter food or drink.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
