Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the Late War Between the United States and Great Britain When proposals were issued for the publication of this work, some time after the ratification of the treaty of peace with Great Britain, its contemplated plan embraced nothing more than the compilation of hasty sketches of the leading events of the war, arranged in chronological order, and with a proper regard to the preservation of the principal features, and the general characters, of the land and naval engagements. The author was not long in discovering that infinite pains and excessive labour were necessary, to the collection of materials from which these sketches, however concise, might be made, with that fidelity which such subjects require.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Late War Between the United States and Great Britain The work now presented to the public, after passing through five large editions, has been for many years entirely out of circulation, and it was with much difficulty that a copy of it could be procured by the publishers. At the time of this publication it was the only one calculated for general use, and none has yet appeared comprising in so small a compass so many details of the events of the last war between Great Britain and the United States. The frequent demands for the work have induced the publishers to prevail on the author to revise and prepare it for a new edition with great care. This is now offered to the public. As to the merit of the work, the reader must judge for himself. Its general accuracy has received the approbation of those most capable of judging. It has been translated by a French writer, M. Dalmas, who speaks in high terms of the energy of the style, and the clearness of the narrative. It has also been translated by an Italian writer of celebrity. The design of the work was not a history of the times, embracing the legislative, diplomatic and statistical subjects connected with the war. These are occasionally glanced at. But it was the intention of the author to bring within one narrative, as far as it was practicable, all the campaigns, battles, skirmishes and incidents which may properly be considered as constituting the events of the war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Late War, Between the United States and Great Britain: Containing a Minute Account of the Various Military and Naval Operations, Illustrated With Plates The obstinate persistance of Great Britain in her pre tensions to this prerogative, first broke the ties of depen dence, which it was so much her interest to preserve, and her subsequent illiberal policy, has tended to weaken the influence of affinity, which a true wisdom would have taught her to cherish. Why is it that the enmity of those, between whom there naturally exist the most numerous bonds of friendship, is the most bitter? It is because each of these is a distinct cord which may vibrate to the feelings of hatred, as well as of love. With China, with Turkey, with France, we may be governed by temporary and varying policy, but towards England we can never feel indifference. Why then has England taken so much pains, to make us hate her as a nation? The grievances of which we have to complain, by frequent recital, have grown wearisome to the car. There always existed, and still exist, numerous ties to attach us to Britain, which nothing but her ungenerous and unnatural policy, can weaken or destroy. Her wisest and best men foretold to her, the consequences of the usurpations which led to our independence, and yet she still continued to afflict us, with every species of irritating and insulting deport ment, and then at last complained of our unnatural con duct, in refusing to bear it any lon er.

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters on the Late War Between the United States and Great Britain His writings certainly bear no more analogy to the speeches of the members of the opposition, than to those of the ministerial bench, excepting that of the thorough contempt which he now bears for those privileged orders he once extolled, and those licentious exactions he once called necessary. The opposition never uttered, nor dared to utter, such sentiments as are expressed by Cobbett in these letters. They are completely unique, to come from the pen of an Englishman, and are as bold as unique, possessing within themselves a property, sui generis, which neither king, lords, nor commons could imitate, for they speak a language they are not wont to hear - the language of truth, exhibiting their errors, their injustice, and folly. Instead of adverting to what William Cobbett has been, we therefore prefer to do justice to what he now is, and, presenting these letters as his index, we leave him to the better judgment of our readers. is not the novelty of these letters which induces our publication, hut in order to preserve them for the American reader.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Of the Late War: Between the United States and Great Britain; With a Critical Appendix, &C Since the late hostilities with Great Britain, several books have been published in the United States purporting to be histories of the war. No one of them, it is believed, can be received as generally authentic; the whole adding little to the literary character of the country. Of those most generally circulated, we can speak the least favourably, as specimens of history, which means something more than compilations from newspapers, or a tirade of epithets stigmatising our adversaries. Two or three stipendiaries occupied the fore ground in the race, for the booksellers for the market of the United States, producing interesting though coarse compilations; which, while the feelings created by the war were still in lively existence, were read with sensations of pleasure. But no one now will ascribe to their works, the name, much less the character of history. Weems' life of Marion, in which the author has collated and embellished many interesting events, with the view to a popular book, has greatly superiour pretensions to either. With enough of fact to challenge, at this late day, the credence of most readers, it excels in all kinds of jest and fancy; and administers abundantly of the finest entertainment to the lovers of fun. Not so the works we have noticed. Eaton, Latour, and McAffee have furnished books of a different character. They are useful; containing a great mass of important information, necessary to the historian who shall come after them. We do not design to bring up for criticism, or any thing else, the many other histories, sketches, and biographical memoirs, published in different parts of the country. They appear to have been sheltered from animadversion, by their own demits, and naturally reposed in oblivion. Great Britain, too, has had her histories of the war. We have seen three: Nicholson's, Clarke's, and Baines'. In addition to the English histories there has been one published in Canada, by a Mr. James, cooked and seasoned exactly for the palate of John Bull. The first and second are echoes of the reports of British commanders, and British ministerial newspapers and magazines.
