Publisher's Synopsis
All Things Considered is a collection of essays written by G.K. Chesterton, a renowned British writer and philosopher. The essays cover a wide range of topics, including politics, religion, literature, and social issues. Chesterton's writing style is characterized by his wit, humor, and paradoxical reasoning. In this book, he offers his unique perspective on various subjects, such as the importance of tradition, the dangers of modernity, the nature of democracy, and the role of the artist in society. Chesterton's insights are still relevant today, and his essays continue to be widely read and admired. All Things Considered is a thought-provoking and entertaining read for anyone interested in philosophy, literature, or cultural critique.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.
