This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical, Poetical Pictorial American Scenes The object of this work, is to present to the reader a series of Historical Incidents in American History, (some of which may not be generally known, ) in an historical, pictorial, and poetic form. We are aware that the plan of this work differs from any we have yet seen, but we flatter ourselves that it will be found interesting and in structive. In the historical introduction to each of the scenes de scribed, we have aimed at accuracy and simplicity; in the lines that follow, there is, of course, latitude given to introduce moral and religious reflections. Whatever we have advanced of this nature, we trust will be found in accordance with the great and vital principles of Christianity. Instead of glorifying mere military he roes, as is too often the case among all nations, we have aimed to give prominence to men who practised the virtues of Christianity. Such men only are the real patriots and nobles of the human race, and such only are worthy of lasting remembrance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Campbell: An American Tale But the author has other motives in presenting this work to the American people. It is the first attempt within his knowledge to connect the occurrences of that proud portion of the history of his country which so emphatically and fully developed its national character with the charms of heroic verse. And if this attempt but succeed in exciting a desire to have that history studied with the pleasures of its romance, he feels as sured. That it will develop one strong and lasting tie of patriotism. To have the' early history of our country connected with our earliest impressions of pleasure and excitement of passion will do much in establishing a desire to continue unchanged those scenes, and uh altered those institutions, which have been so greatly the foundation of our keenest enjoyments. What among the ancient Greeks could have produced a stronger love of their institutions and country than the immor talizing these in the works of their best writers? And who, upon visiting the spot where any well-described event has had its scene, has not felt the whole past come over the soul, mingling and identifying itself in interest with the present. Men may have what opinions they please as to the moral good or evil of works of this kind; but love of country, as all other kinds of love, consists in the affection of the heart and the more that is brought into exercise by the excitement of its feelings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Scene The following pages duly explain themselves, I judge, as to the Author's point of view and his relation to his subject; but I prefix this word on the chance of any suspected or perceived failure of such references. My visit to America had been the first possible to me for nearly a quarter of a century, and I had before my last previous one, brief and distant to memory, spent other years in continuous absence; so that I was to return with much of the freshness of eye, outward and inward, which, with the further contribution of a state of desire, is commonly held a precious agent of perception. I felt no doubt, I confess, of my great advantage on that score since if I had had time to become almost as fresh as an inquiring stranger, I had not on the other hand had enough to cease to be, or at least to feel, as acute as an initiated native. I made no scruple of my conviction that I should understand and should care better and more than the most earnest of visitors, and yet that I should vibrate with more curiosity - on the extent of ground, that is, on which I might aspire to intimate intelligence at all than the pilgrim with the longest list of questions, the sharpest appetite for explanations and the largest exposure to mistakes.
