Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On American Morals and Manners We propose to offer some observations in this article on American morals and manners. There is, at this moment, a very extraordinary crisis of opinion in Europe with regard to this country. Our national character is not only brought into question, but it is brought into question as furnishing grounds for a decision upon the form of our Government, upon the great cause of Republican institutions. For reasons then, deeper than those which concern our national reputation, - and yet this is not indifferent, - this subject deserves attention. We have no desire to overrate the importance of this country; but it is undoubtedly the great embodiment of the leading principle on which the history of the world is to turn for many years to come. When at some future time a philosophical history of the present age shall be written, this country will occupy a place in it, the very converse of that which it now holds in the thoughts of most men in the Old World. That future time will far better understand the map of human affairs, not to say our literal geography, than does the present. It will be seen that the tree of freedom, planted on this Western continent, has shot its roots and fibres through the whole of Europe; beneath the soil of all her ancient and venerable institutions. Whether it shall stand and flourish and lend strength to the world; or whether, overturned by whelming floods, it shall draw the world down with it, or leave it rent and torn by the disruption of its ties - this is the question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men, Manners Morals in South America Having regard to the present parlous price Of paper and to the patience of much-suffering readers, the perpetration of yet another book on South America might appear at the outset to call for some explanation, if not for apology. The list of books published under this heading in recent years is indeed so formidable that the world may well be weary Of it. From the library catalogue point Of View, the subject might well seem to have been exhausted, every part Of the continent having been ransacked and described, all its words and works recorded. Yet, how few there be amongst all these works (as some Of us know to our cost) that properly and worthily inculcate the profitable exercise Of travel, or that appeal to and justify the wandering instinct Of rational man! Say what you will, the great majority of them are so dreadfully infected with stodgy commercialism, so monumentally useful, that their general effect upon the mind (unless it be the mind of a bagman) can only be compared to a surfeit Of suet pudding. Here and there only, rarz' names, amidst all these dreary volumes, will you find the sort Of company for which the Lord of Montaigne looked (alas, how oft in vain in all his journeyings - that rare chance and seld-seene fortune, but Of exceeding solace and inestimable worth, to wit.

Download or read book Money Morals Manners written by Michèle Lamont and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-04-26 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on remarkably frank, in-depth interviews with 160 successful men in the United States and France, Michèle Lamont provides a rare and revealing collective portrait of the upper-middle class—the managers, professionals, entrepreneurs, and experts at the center of power in society. Her book is a subtle, textured description of how these men define the values and attitudes they consider essential in separating themselves—and their class—from everyone else. Money, Morals, and Manners is an ambitious and sophisticated attempt to illuminate the nature of social class in modern society. For all those who downplay the importance of unequal social groups, it will be a revelation. "A powerful, cogent study that will provide an elevated basis for debates in the sociology of culture for years to come."—David Gartman, American Journal of Sociology "A major accomplishment! Combining cultural analysis and comparative approach with a splendid literary style, this book significantly broadens the understanding of stratification and inequality. . . . This book will provoke debate, inspire research, and serve as a model for many years to come."—R. Granfield, Choice "This is an exceptionally fine piece of work, a splendid example of the sociologist's craft."—Lewis Coser, Boston College

It is in order to explain that Between the Old World and the New was brought into print in continental editions (in Italy, in France and elsewhere) before the publication of the present work. The author has, however, decided, that for the English-speaking readers of the two volumes it would be advisable to change the order of publication and to issue first this study of Morals and Manners. The second book, Between the Old World and the New, will appear, in New York and in London, early in the autumn of 1914.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lecture on Teachers' Morals and Manners: Delivered Before the American Institute of Instruction, at Keene, N. H., August 1851 Past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man Upon the face of the earth, and ask, from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such great thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it. No, my friends, no such amazing contrast hath ever been known; and if it were not that with God all things are possible, one would be almost ready to believe that the like could never again be known. They were the feeblest of the feeble, faint, few, yet fearless; a wilderness and deso late snows of winter before them; a wild, an untried coast, a frozen soil, the terror of the savage dwellers of the land, a scanty supply of stores; homeless, houseless men and women and tender children, - yet all was nought to them, because there dwelt in every bosom the unquenchable fires of liberty - liberty, civil and religious. Loving women, and daring men, what could they not fearlessly encounter.l What have they not surely brought to pass.l And the deep secret of the whole success lies in the simple truth, that they were men of the Church and of the School-house. Blest badges of new-england sure sources of all her greatness Let me traverse through the wide fields of the air, at such towering height, that I can take into my range of sight all of cities and towns and villages and hamlets that dot the face of the re volving earth and I will tell you where the sons of new-england congregate, and where they make their home. It will be where I find these marks of their peculiar way of life, the spire and the school. And it is to these we are to trace her greatness, and to the continued existence of these we are to bind our hopes of her future influences in directing and controling.

Download or read book Society Manners and Politics in the United States written by Michel Chevalier and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Society, Manners and Politics in the United States: Being a Series of Letters on North America M. Chevalier was sent to this country in 1834, under the patronage of Thiers, then Minister of the Interior, in France, to inspect our public works. But attracted by the novel spectacle presented by society in the United States, he extended the time of his stay and the sphere of his observations amongst us, and spent two years in visiting nearly all parts of the Union, and studying the workings of our social and political machinery. His letters give the results of his observations, the impressions made on his mind, his speculations in regard to the future destiny of our institutions, rather than a detailed narrative of facts and events, which, however, is introduced when necessary for illustration or proof. The translator is not, of course, to be considered responsible for all the opinions and statements of the original; but it will be found, in his judgment, that M. Chevalier has studied with diligence and sagacity, drawn his conclusions with caution and discrimination, and stated his views in a clear, forcible, and interesting manner.

Download or read book American Lion written by Jon Meacham and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2009-04-30 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive biography of a larger-than-life president who defied norms, divided a nation, and changed Washington forever Andrew Jackson, his intimate circle of friends, and his tumultuous times are at the heart of this remarkable book about the man who rose from nothing to create the modern presidency. Beloved and hated, venerated and reviled, Andrew Jackson was an orphan who fought his way to the pinnacle of power, bending the nation to his will in the cause of democracy. Jackson’s election in 1828 ushered in a new and lasting era in which the people, not distant elites, were the guiding force in American politics. Democracy made its stand in the Jackson years, and he gave voice to the hopes and the fears of a restless, changing nation facing challenging times at home and threats abroad. To tell the saga of Jackson’s presidency, acclaimed author Jon Meacham goes inside the Jackson White House. Drawing on newly discovered family letters and papers, he details the human drama–the family, the women, and the inner circle of advisers– that shaped Jackson’s private world through years of storm and victory. One of our most significant yet dimly recalled presidents, Jackson was a battle-hardened warrior, the founder of the Democratic Party, and the architect of the presidency as we know it. His story is one of violence, sex, courage, and tragedy. With his powerful persona, his evident bravery, and his mystical connection to the people, Jackson moved the White House from the periphery of government to the center of national action, articulating a vision of change that challenged entrenched interests to heed the popular will– or face his formidable wrath. The greatest of the presidents who have followed Jackson in the White House–from Lincoln to Theodore Roosevelt to FDR to Truman–have found inspiration in his example, and virtue in his vision. Jackson was the most contradictory of men. The architect of the removal of Indians from their native lands, he was warmly sentimental and risked everything to give more power to ordinary citizens. He was, in short, a lot like his country: alternately kind and vicious, brilliant and blind; and a man who fought a lifelong war to keep the republic safe–no matter what it took.
