Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative and Critical History of America, Vol. 7 The debt of England in I 775 was one hundred and thirty-five million pounds sterling. But so admirably had the finances been managed that the rate of interest was but little above three per cent. The army and navy were inadequate to the protection of a dominion which in America embraced the larger part of a continent, and in Asia already extended over many populous nations. In 1774 the number of seamen was reduced to and of soldiers to Nor was it easy to raise troops. Eng land was already the great commercial and manufacturing country of the world. Her people were brave, and ready to endure necessary hardships, but they were in the main too comfortable in their homes to be eager to serve in the ranks for the scanty pay and scantier comforts of private soldiers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative and Critical History of America, Vol. 7: Part II State, War, the Treasury, the post-office, and the Judiciary were organized, and a light-house and customs-revenue systems were begun the first steps were taken toward the establishment of the census, naturaliza tion, patents and copyrights, territorial government, pensions, and inter course with the Indian tribes. Provision was also made for the settlement of the present national capital at Washington, and the national and State debts were provided for (1790) arrangements were adopted for the admis sion of the new States of Kentucky and Vermont, and the first Bank of the United States was chartered the mint and coinage, the consular service, and the militia were regulated (1792) and interstate extradition of fugitives from justice and fugitive slaves was provided for Ratification by North Carolina and Rhode Island made the orig inal number of States again complete; and the first ten amendments to the Constitution, subsequently ratified by the States, were adopted by Congress. The contrast between this picture of legislative activity and the, impo tence of the system so recently defunct must have been very great. The United States no longer presented the awful spectacle, as Hamilton had expressed it, of a nation without a national government. But the contrast was enough to bring out to plain view the sharp dividing line between the two essential political parties of the country. Congress, a new and unfamiliar body, sitting at New York, was instantly recognized as a serious restriction on the only republican governments which the people had hitherto known, - the States. Jefferson, Washington's Sec retary of State, was the natural leader of those who wished to construe the Federal government's powers strictly, so as to retain as much as possible to the State governments; and in 1793 his followers began to assume the name of the Republican party,1 in opposition to the dominant Federalist party, of which Hamilton was now the recognized leader. Genet's mission (1793) brought out the fact that the Federalists were as cool towards the rights of man as the Republicans were warm; and for the next half dozen years American politics were largely Gallican and Anglican.

Download or read book Documentary History of the State of Maine Vol 7 written by Mary Frances Farnham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 7: Containing the Farnham Papers; 1603 1688 In selecting the sources from which these documents have been taken, the method adopted has been to choose what seemed the best available text; in all cases the original, if that has been accessible, otherwise an authentic transcript or reprint. The head-notes which accompany each document are mainly designed to give a history of the sources as well as their bearing upon Maine history. A Special bibliography is also given in each case. The work of reading and investigation for that particular pur pose has been materially lightened by the use of Dr. Justin Winsor's Narrative and Critical History of America; Channing and Hart's Guide to the Study of American History; and Hon. Joseph Williamson's Bibliography of Maine. In the titles of documents the terms charter, patent and 0want are employed somewhat interchangeably in accordance with common usage or the reading of the text. No attempt has been made to discern a legal distinction between them. A double set of dates is used until 1752, when the Julian calendar gave place to the Gregorian in England and Catholic Europe. The work of compilation could not have been carried for ward to completeness without many favors, some of which have already been suggested. The wide range of obliga tions makes it difficult to enumerate them all. Before all others, grateful thanks are rendered to Professor Hart, whose wise counsel and kindly assistance have guided the work at every stage; to the late Dr. Justin Winsor, libra rian of Harvard University, for personal suggestions of great value on sources and authorities; to the. Harvard College Library for the generous management which makes all books in the department of American History directly accessible to students of the Historical Seminary; to Mr. Hubbard W. Bryant, librarian of the Maine Historical Society, for access to the Archives; to Dr. Samuel A. Green, librarian of the Massachusetts Historical Society, for the privilege of examining Colonial Letters and Papers, also for permission to make reprints from publications; to the Boston Athenaeum for the privilege of consulting The Acts of the Parliament of Scotland; and to Mr. Edmund L. Barton, librarian of the American Antiquarian Society at Worcester, for the opportunity to transcribe a notarial copy of the Pemaquid Patent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My First Seven Years in America Some objections may possibly lie against this mode of proceeding, even when it has been adopted from the purest motives. A man may be tempted to say more of him self than the nature of the case will justify. He may' be in danger of speaking too highly of himself; for it is a well-known fact, that those persons who do speak often of themselves are apt to do it in terms of self-commendation, either directly, or in directly; and this, in the estimation of many, savers too much of personal vanity.

Download or read book Richard Wright written by Keneth Kinnamon and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African-American writer Richard Wright (1908-1960) was celebrated during the early 1940s for his searing autobiography (Black Boy) and fiction (Native Son). By 1947 he felt so unwelcome in his homeland that he exiled himself and his family in Paris. But his writings changed American culture forever, and today they are mainstays of literature and composition classes. He and his works are also the subjects of numerous critical essays and commentaries by contemporary writers. This volume presents a comprehensive annotated bibliography of those essays, books, and articles from 1983 through 2003. Arranged alphabetically by author within years are some 8,320 entries ranging from unpublished dissertations to book-length studies of African American literature and literary criticism. Also included as an appendix are addenda to the author's earlier bibliography covering the years from 1934 through 1982. This is the exhaustive reference for serious students of Richard Wright and his critics.

Book excerpt: Volume VII of the Cambridge History of American Literature examines a broad range of American literature of the past half-century, revealing complex relations to changes in society. Christopher Bigsby discusses American dramatists from Tennessee Williams to August Wilson, showing how innovations in theatre anticipated a world of emerging countercultures and provided America with an alternative view of contemporary life. Morris Dickstein describes the condition of rebellion in fiction from 1940 to 1970, linking writers as diverse as James Baldwin and John Updike. John Burt examines writers of the American South, describing the tensions between modernization and continued entanglements with the past. Wendy Steiner examines the postmodern fictions since 1970, and shows how the questioning of artistic assumptions has broadened the canon of American literature. Finally, Cyrus Patell highlights the voices of Native American, Asian American, Chicano, gay and lesbian writers, often marginalized but here discussed within and against a broad set of national traditions.
