Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures, Vol. 2 of 10: Illustrated and Embellished With Views of the World's Famous Places and People, Being the Identical Discourses Delivered During the Past Eighteen Years Under the Title of the Stoddard Lectures In this bewildering panorama, we know not what to admire first, for before us is an embarrassment of riches. But gradually we select, as the most conspicuous feature of the scene, a beautifully rounded promontory, called the Seraglio Point, because till recently it proudly bore upon its crest the Sultan's Palace or Seraglio. It rises from the waves just where three famous bodies of water form a union -the first, a glittering avenue named the Golden Horn; the second, that ocean-river called the Bosporus; the third, the Sea of Marmora, across which we have come in sailing north ward from the Mediterranean.

The scripture gives some intimations on the subject, but they are few and indis tinct, and have been, not improperly, represented as presenting only a faint opening, through which may be seen some few traces of a wider and a nobler dispensa tion as bringing before us a dim transparency, on the other side of which the images of an obscure magnifi cence dazzle indistinctly upon the eye.

Download or read book Presenting the Past written by Susan Porter Benson and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, history has been increasingly popularized through television docudramas, history museums, paperback historical novels, grassroots community history projects, and other public representations of historical knowledge. This collection of lively and accessible essays is the first examination of the rapidly growing field called "public history." Based in part on articles written for the Radical History Review, these eighteen original essays take a sometimes irreverent look at how history is presented to the public in such diverse settings as children's books, Colonial Williamsburg, and the Statue of Liberty, Presenting the Past is organized into three areas which consider the role of mass media ("Packaging the Past"), the affects of applied history ("Professionalizing the Past") and the importance of grassroots efforts to shape historical consciousness ("Politicizing the Past"). The first section examines the large-scale production and dissemination of popular history by mass culture. The contributors criticize many of these Hollywood and Madison Avenue productions that promote historical amnesia or affirm dominant values and institutions. In "Professionalizing the Past," the authors show how non-university based professional historians have also affected popular historical consciousness through their work in museums, historic preservation, corporations, and government agencies. Finally, the book considers what has been labeled "people's history"--oral history projects, slide shows, films, and local exhibits--and assesses its attempts to reach such diverse constituents as workers, ethnic groups, women, and gays. Of essential interest to students of history, Presenting the Past also explains to the general reader how Americans have come to view themselves, their ancestors, and their heritage through the influence of mass media, popular culture, and "public history." Author note: Susan Porter Benson is Associate Professor and Chair of History at Bristol Community College in Massachusetts. Stephen Brier is Director of the American Social History Project and Senior Research Scholar at the Graduate Center, City University of New York. Roy Rosenzweig is Associate Professor of History and Director of the Oral History Program at George Mason University in Virginia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from University Lectures, Vol. 2: Delivered by Members of the Faculty in the Free Public Lecture Course, 1914-1915 There is a very widespread popular belief that civilization means not merely the improvement in methods of life in an increase in the material bases of comfort, but also the gradual reduction of the problems of misery, crime and vice. So general is this belief that if those present today were to be asked, Would you prefer to live where crime, vice, poverty are unknown, where taxes are low, or where taxes are high and vice and misery common? Most would choose the former. Yet, if we were to make that decision and seek for the place where you might live under such conditions, you would discover that it involved the leaving of Philadelphia and our own beloved state and country to lead the life of a hermit in Some Utopia, or share the meager joys of some primitive people. It is my purpose this afternoon to Show you as best I can that our problems grow larger, not smaller, as civilization advances; that progress, in other words, involves difficulties.

Sim ple interest for that time on one-third of a thousand dollars, amounted to two hundred dollars more, making the loss four hun dred dollars. Simple interest upon this sum, for thirty years, exceeds seven hundred dollars, which, added to the four hundred, makes the loss which the holder of paper to the amount of one thousand dollars has suffered, by the mode and time of payment adopted by the Government, to exceed eleven hundred dollars so that the sum which we withheld, out of that which we had solemnly promised in writing, with Simple interest only, is now more than the original amount of the debt.
