Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical Miscellanies, Vol. 1 A French writer has recently published a careful and interesting volume on the famous events which ended in the overthrow of Robespierre and the close of the Reign of Terror. These events are known in the historic calendar as the Revolution of Thermidor in the Year II. After the fall of the monarchy, the Convention decided that the year should begin with the autumnal equinox, and that the enumeration should date from the birth of the Republic. The Year I. opens on September 22, 1792; the Year II. opens on the same day of 1793. The month of Thermidor begins on July 19. The memorable Ninth Thermidor therefore corresponds to July 27, 1794. This has commonly been taken as the date of the commencement of a counter-revolution, and in one sense it was so.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miscellanies, Critical, Imaginative, and Juridical, 1855, Vol. 1 of 2: Contributed to Blackwood's Magazine These volumes contain such of the Author's contributions to Blackwood's Magazine, as appeared to deal with subjects of general, intrinsic, and permanent interest and importance. Most of them were originally written with a view to subsequent separate publication; and some have cost the Author great pains, alike in the writing and revision. The paper, however, entitled "The Mystery of Murder, and its Defence," did not appear in Blackwoods Magazine, but in the quarterly Law Review, and is included in these "Miscellanies," for reasons stated in a note subjoined to the commencement of the paper.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical Miscellanies: First Series NE of the most important phases of French thought in the great century of its illumination is only thoroughly intel ligible, on condition that in studying it we keep constantly in mind the eloquence, force, and genius of Pascal. He was the greatest and most influential representative of that way of viewing human nature and its circumstances, which it was one of the characteristic glories of the eighteenth century to have rebelled against and rejected. More than a hundred years after the publication of the Pense'es, Condorcet thought it worth while to prepare a new edition of them, with annotations pro testing, not without a certain unwonted deference of tone, against Pascal's doctrine of the base and desperate estate of man. Voltaire also had them reprinted with notes of his own, written in the same spirit of vivacious deprecation, which we may be sure would have been even more vivacious, if Voltaire had not remembered that he. Was speaking of the mightiest of the enemies of the Jesuits. Apart from formal and specific dissents like these, all the writers who had drunk most deeply of the spirit of the eighteenth century, lived in a constant ferment of revolt against the clear witted and vigorous thinker of the century before, who had clothed mere theological mys teries with the force and importance of strongly entrenched propositions in a consistent philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 1 of 2 'Truth is stranger than fiction.' A trite remark. We all say it, again and again: but how few of us believe it! How few of us, when we read the history of heroical times and heroical men, take the story simply as it stands. On the contrary, we try to explain it away; to prove it all not to have been so very wonderful: to impute accident, circumstance, mean and commonplace motives; to lower every story down to the level of our own littleness, or what we (unjustly to ourselves, and to the God who is near us all) choose to consider our level; to rationalize away all the wonders, till we make them at last impossible, and give up caring to believe them; and prove to our own melancholy satisfaction that Alexander conquered the world with a pin, in his sleep, by accident. And yet in this mood, as in most, there is a sort of left-handed truth involved. These heroes are not so far removed from us, after all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical and Critical Miscellanies, Vol. 1 The volume of Biographical and Critical Miscellanies was published when Prescott had attained an international reputation. It was sent to the press not because of any intrinsic merit in the essays themselves, but because their author rightly judged that the reading public, especially in England, would like to peruse some of his earliest productions, and to compare them with his later works. The English edition, which contains all the papers except the review of Ticknor's History of Spanish Literature, was published in 1845. As one studies the Miscellanies to-day he realizes fully the force of Daniel Websters oft quoted remark when, after the publication of the "History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella" he characterized Prescott as "a comet which had suddenly blazed out upon the world in full splendor." They are exceedingly interesting to the historical student who desires to compare the reviews of the first half of the last century with those of the present day.

Upon hearing of the assault on his publisher, he lost no time in avowing the authorship of the offensive review, and in intimating, in accordance with the usage of the period, that his friend Mr. Hugh Fraser was prepared to receive a message. A hostile meeting was arranged the combatants met in a field in the Barnet Road; and three shots were exchanged, at the last fire Maginu's bullet grazing the collar of his adversary's coat, and the bullet of the latter striking the ground beside Maginu's boot. Upon this third ineffectual exchange of shots, the account runs, the seconds interfered, and the parties, bowing to each other, left the ground without explanation.
