Compromises is a collection of essays written by Agnes Repplier, an American essayist and literary critic. The book was first published in 1904 and contains a total of 13 essays. In these essays, Repplier explores the concept of compromise and its role in various aspects of life. She discusses how compromise is often necessary in relationships, politics, and religion, and how it can be both beneficial and detrimental. The essays cover a range of topics, including the compromises made by great leaders such as Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, the compromises made in marriage and family life, and the compromises made in the pursuit of art and literature. Throughout the book, Repplier’s writing is insightful and thought-provoking, and she offers a nuanced perspective on the complexities of compromise. Her essays are both entertaining and enlightening, making Compromises an engaging and worthwhile read for anyone interested in the topic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
