Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Political and Personal The house in which I was born in the township of Stanley, in Huron county, stood in a "clearing" of a few acres, and all around was bush, in which no axe had ever swung. As a child I often wandered among thick underbrush and picked wild flowers along streams that ceased to murmur long ago. The trees were beech and maple, ash and elm, basswood and hemlock. But chiefly that was a maple country, where the sap ran in the spring and sugar-making was a happy, if mysterious, festival. In the summer there was something intimate and companionable in the forest. One thinks of climbing moss and trailing vine and tangled thicket. The woodpecker beat his tattoo. The squirrel chirped and gambolled in leafy branches. Plaintive voices whispered from the underbrush or came faintly from the tree-tops. The birds sang the songs that are never new nor ever old. There were open spaces where the sun shone upon a stretch of natural meadow or shimmering water. Near was the long tamarack marsh where we gathered cranberries. We knew that the bush could be loud and angry, for we had heard the great trees wail and seen them thrash their arms in the storm. But for the most part we looked into deep and friendly silences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nullification and Compromise: A Retrospective View A generation has passed away arid another has taken its place since the chivalry of South Carolina assumed a hostile attitude towards the government of the United States, and undertook, in the plenitude of an assumed ah solute and paramount sovereignty, to nullify certain laws of the national government, and forcibly to resist their exeem tion within the limits of her territory. This was an impor tant event in our political history. It was ohe of the out bursts of that irrepressible conflict between freedom and slavery about which so much has been said and written, and which is now raging with accumulated intensity. Be lieving as we do, that a great mistake was committed by our government on that occasion, and that we are now suf fering the bitter consequences of that mistake, it may be useful to review the history of the nullification controversy, and to learn wisdom from the lessons which it incul'cates. Many active politicians of the present day were then either unborn or too young to feel an interest, and to take a part in the discussions and measures to which that controversy gave rise. Others, of a more advanced age, may have for gotten them in the lapse of intermediate years, and may not now have within their reach, the necessary documents to refresh their memories. As history is philosophy teaching liv example, it is well occasionally to pause and listen to its teachings.

Download or read book The Also Rans written by Don Carlos Seitz and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-23 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The "Also Rans" Great Men Who Missed Making the Presidential Goal Some one has wisely said that wherever there is victory there must be defeat. In politics as in battle, mischance often plays a greater part than leadership. Great men who aspired to fill the highest office in the world, the Presidency of the United States, have more than once met Waterloos either in convention or at the polls at the hands of their inferiors. Of the eighteen outstanding figures I have selected as Also Rans, fifteen failed to get enough votes. Three never really reached the people. These last were the most eminent of all. Written at the beginning of another Presidential campaign this volume is a retrospect of American politics on the losing side. I have stopped with William Jennings Bryan, and only allude to Alton B. Parker, the single interlude in Mr. Bryan's twelve year domina tion of the Democracy. The defeated candidates since then, Charles E. Hughes, James M. Cox, and John W. Davis, still flourish as able and interesting citizens, each continuing to make his own place in the affairs of the nation. It has not been deemed seemly to re exhibit them in their retirement from party leadership. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Classics and Irish Politics 1916 2016 written by Isabelle Torrance and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-28 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection addresses how models from ancient Greece and Rome have permeated Irish political discourse in the century since 1916. The 1916 Easter Rising, when Irish nationalists rose up against British imperial forces, became almost instantly mythologized in Irish political memory as a turning point in the nation's history that paved the way for Irish independence. Its centenary has provided a natural point for reflection on Irish politics, and this volume highlights an unexplored element in Irish political discourse, namely its frequent reliance on, reference to, and tensions with classical Greek and Roman models. Topics covered include the reception and rejection of classical culture in Ireland; the politics of Irish language engagement with Greek and Roman models; the intersection of Irish literature with scholarship in Classics and Celtic Studies; the use of classical referents to articulate political inequalities across gender, sexual, and class hierarchies; meditations on the Northern Irish conflict through classical literature; and the political implications of neoclassical material culture in Irish society. As the only country colonized by Britain with a pre-existing indigenous heritage of expertise in classical languages and literature, postcolonial Ireland represents a unique case in the field of classical reception. This book opens a window on a rich and varied dialogue between significant figures in Irish cultural history and the Greek and Roman sources that have inspired them, a dialogue that is firmly rooted in Ireland's historical past and continues to be ever-evolving.
