Jubilee Essays: A Plea For The Unselfish Life is a book written by Edward Payson Tenney and published in 1862. The book is a collection of essays that focus on the importance of leading an unselfish life. The essays cover a range of topics, including the benefits of selflessness, the dangers of selfishness, and the ways in which individuals can cultivate a spirit of generosity and kindness. Tenney argues that selfishness is a destructive force that undermines the well-being of individuals and society as a whole. He contends that the pursuit of personal gain at the expense of others leads to conflict, inequality, and unhappiness. In contrast, he suggests that living an unselfish life is not only morally right but also brings great personal fulfillment and joy. Throughout the book, Tenney draws on examples from history, literature, and his own experience to illustrate his points. He also offers practical advice on how to develop the habits of generosity and kindness that lead to a more fulfilling life. Overall, Jubilee Essays: A Plea For The Unselfish Life is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that challenges readers to examine their own values and priorities. It is a timeless work that remains relevant today, reminding us of the importance of putting others before ourselves and living a life of purpose and meaning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
