Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from North American Review, 1856, Vol. 83 Biography is an art that demands a peculiar sense of the appropriate. Even the acknowledged exemplars of this spe cies of'writing do not yield precedents of universal appli cation. Few men, of however rare colloquial powers, can bear so minute a record of their sayings and doings as renders Boswell's Life of Johnson one of the most attractive books in the English language. Where the hero, on the other hand, is a man of deeds rather than of words, the more Simple, literal, and authentic the chronicle of his actions, the better; arid, accordingly, scrupulous fidelity to this condition has made Southey's Life of Nelson a model of its kind. When the interest of the subject, however, is psychological, a reve lation of the conflicts, the aspirations, and the noble pleasures of one whose achievements bear no proportion to the daily beauty of his life and the inward resources of courage, love, and wisdom incarnated in the man himself, and chiefly ex hibited to the eye and heart of friendship, then we hail, with delight, the sympathetic intelligence and moral insight displayed by Carlyle in his Life of Sterling. There is, not withstanding this diversity of merit, one test applicable to all memoirs, -their more or less vivid reflection of character.

The rules of the House were suspended, and the resolution passed on the very day of its introduction. No less than two hun dred and thirty-three votes were recorded in its favor. Only eigh teen members voted against it. That reiterated vociferation accomplished the purpose for which it was designed. It defeated the renomination of General Grant in 1876.

This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 147 Concord School of Philosophy by one of the keen newspaper men who have made American wit a modern discovery. The Concord students spent their time, he said. In trying to scrute the inscrutable and poss the impossible. The controversy in which Colonel Ingersoll has been the defendant is, I venture to say, not upon his part alone, an attempt to poss the impossible. Tactically considered, the discussion has to a marked extent fol lowed that simple military expedient known as firing wild. It strikes me that the chief reason for this is one for which no indi vidual party to the encounter can be held responsible least of all, the distinguished statesman whose scholarship, dignity, and repose have given value to the conflict if they have not won the day.

This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, 1896, Vol. 163 What the great advocate then so unhesitatingly sug gested, many a thoughtful American since then has at least sus pected - that our great proclamation, as a piece of political literature, cannot stand the test of modern analysis; that it belongs to the immense class of over-praised productions; that it is, in fact, a stately patchwork of sweeping propositions of somewhat doubtful validity that it has long imposed upon man kind by the well-known effectiveness of verbal glitter and sound that, at the best, it is an example of florid political declamation belonging to the sophomoric period of our national life, a period which, as we flatter ourselves, we have now outgrown. Nevertheless, it is to be noted that whatever authority the Declaration of Independence has acquired in the world, has been due to no lack of criticism, either at the time of its first appear ance, or since then; a fact which seems to tell in favor of its es sential worth and strength. From the date of its original publica tion down to the present moment, it has been attacked again and again, either in anger, or in contempt, by friends as well as by enemies of the American Revolution, by liberals in politics as well as by conservatives. It has been censured for its substance, it has been censured for its form, for its misstatements of fact, for its fallacies in reasoning, for its audacious novelties and para doxes, for its total lack of all novelty, for its repetition of old and threadbare statements, even for its downright plagiarisms; finally, for its grandiose and vaporing style.

This book was released on 2016-12-09 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, 1834, Vol. 38 Our readers may naturally doubt whether the state of the religious world be equally favorable to impartiality, but we trust that there is more enlargement of mind than in former days, since controversies, though not more gentle than formerly, are argued on more liberal and enlightened grounds. But whetherthis be so or not, it is evident that a fair View of the subject of Cowper's depression need not give offence to any religious party. Hayley and others, who did not agree with Cowper in his sentiments, have generally described his com plaint as religious despondency a phrase which has given much offence to those who hold those Opinions. Even Mont gomery, who, one would think, lived far enough from the scene of action to be able to keep his temper, expresses himself thus: 'in spite of unanswerable confutations of the ignorant and malignant falsehood, the enemies of Christian truth persevere in asserting that too much religion made poor Cowper mad. If they be sincere, they are themselves under the strongest delusion; and it will be well ifit prove not, on their part, a wilful one, - it will be well if they have not reached that last perversity of human reason, to believe a falsehood of their own invention - and more equally in the spirit of the Gospel.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 99 A story, dramatically complete from prologue to epilogue, was demanded in the cosmological childhood Of the science, and its manhood still peruses its fragmentary and mutilated rec Ords for the history Of the creation. But doubtless the story is as deficient in the dramatic unities, as the record itself is in continuity or completeness. Referring to Mr. Spencer's admirable essay on Illogical Geology for our reasons, we will simply state our belief that nothing in the form Of a complete or connected history will ever be deciphered from the geological record.

Download or read book The North American Review 1846 Vol 63 Classic Reprint written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, 1846, Vol. 63 Man is made a moral being by his powers of observation, reflection, and reasoning, combined with his conscious free agency. He understands what he does, and he does what he prefers to do. Moreover, as actions lead to events by invariable laws, they are the legitimate subjects of rules. But moral rules, as they are designed to act upon the will, must, in order to be of any avail, be adjusted with reference to those motives or springs of action which immediately in fluence the will. The springs of action our author enumer ates as follows: The Appetites or Bodily Desires; the Afl'ections the Mental Desnres the Moral Sentiments and the Reflex Sentiments, under which head he classes the desire of love or esteem from others, and the desire of our own approval, together with all those Springs of Action which are designated by some compound of the world Self as Self-fldmt'ration, self-love. This last class seems to us redundant. We can trace no difference in kind between the desire of superiority, enumerated among the mental desires, and that of popularity or fame, which is put among the reflex sentiments. We do not deny, indeed, that the love of fame is a reflex sentiment; but so is hunger, thirst. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
