Book excerpt: Excerpt from Honolulu: Sketches of Life, Social, Political, and Religious, in the Hawaiian Islands, From 1828 to 1861 As the reader will see, this book is not designed to be a history of the Hawaiian Islands. It does not occupy the field taken by the historians Dibble, Bingham or Jarves, nor that of the later writers, Nordhoff, Miss Bird or Mr. Chaney. My mother's narrative is a compilation of the personal recollections of one who had rare opportunities for observation among the chiefs and people of Hawaii from the year 1828. The intimate connection of my father with Hawaiian history would entitle him to say without egotism, "Quorum pars magna fui," and this work is occupied so largely with describing his agency in building the ship of State of this little kingdom, that it may be regarded more as a tribute to his memory, than as an attempt at history-writing. But few of the actors in the scenes portrayed now survive, and the twenty years that have elapsed since they were written have, I trust, dulled the sensitiveness of those who might think some of the reflections are too severe or of too personal a nature to be published.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketch of the Life and Public Services of Gen. Lewis Cass Lewis Cass was born at Exeter, in New Hampshire, on the 9th day of October, 1782. His father, Major Jonathan Cass, was a soldier of the Revolution, who enlisted as a private the day after the battle of Lexington. He served in the army till the close of the war, and was in all the important battles in the Eastern and Middle States, where he was distinguished for his valor and good conduct, and attained the rank of captain. He was afterwards a major in Wayne's army, and died at an advanced age, after a life of usefulness and honor, at his residence, near Dresden, in Muskingum county, Ohio. His son Lewis Cass, the subject of this biography, emigrated, at the of seventeen, to the then Northwestern Territory, and settled first at Marriet a; in the county of Washington. He was thus, as he was recently called by the convention of Ohio, one of the 'early pioneers' of that immense western region, which has already risen to such a magnitude in our own days, and is destined to attain one so much greater hereafter. The country north of the Ohio then contained one Territory and about twenty thousand people. Mr Cass bore his full shares in the toils privations, and dangers to which the defence of a new country, and its conversion from a primitive forest to the happy abodes of civilized man, are necessarily exposed. He read law at Marietta, and was admitted to the bar before the close of the Territorial Government. He commenced the practice, and, as was the custom then, visited the courts in a large district of the country, travelling on horseback, and encountering many difficulties unknown to the members of the bar at the present day. In 1806, he was elected a member of the Legislature of Ohio, and during the session he took his part the business of the day. He drafted the law which arrested the traitorous designs of Burr, and introduced an address to Mr Jefferson, which was unanimously adopted, expressing the attachment of the people of Ohio to the Constitution of the United States, as their confidence in that illustrious man. In March, 1807, he was appointed, by Mr Jefferson, marshal oi Ohio. In execution of the duties of that office, in the business of his profession, and in the occupation of a farm in Muskingum county, where he resided, he passed his time until 1812. Then our difficulties with England assumed a portentous aspect. Her multiplied aggressions left us no recourse but war; and the statesmen of the day prepared for it with firmness. As one of the preparatory arrangements, it was determined to march a considerable force to the northwestern frontier, to be ready for offensive or defensive measures, as circumstances might render it necessary. The command was given lo General Hull; and a regiment of regular troops, which had fought with credit at Tippecanoe, was assigned to him. To this were to be added three regiments of Ohio volunteers. As soon as this demand upon their patriotism was known, the citizens of that State hastened to the call of their country, and the force was raised without delay or difficulty. Mr Cass was among the volunteers, and was elected to the command of the third regiment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 1966 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Honolulu is not a diary, not even a rewritten 'journal.' It is an autobiography, and surely one of the most interesting of its kind--richly embroidered reminiscences of a continuously eventful period in the history of the Hawaiian kingdom--a monarchy that was fully constituted only eighteen years before Mrs. Judd reached the Islands, and endured only twenty-one years after her death in 1872. With her husband, Dr. Gerrit P. Judd, she was a faithful and hard-working member of the missionary community from 1828 to 1842, when he separated from the mission to labor for the Hawaiian government ; and for eleven years after that she had exceptional opportunities to observe from inside the strains and stresses that beset the kingdom."--Historical introduction, page xv

Download or read book Honor in Political and Moral Philosophy written by Peter Olsthoorn and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2014-12-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this history of the development of ideas of honor in Western philosophy, Peter Olsthoorn examines what honor is, how its meaning has changed, and whether it can still be of use. Political and moral philosophers from Cicero to John Stuart Mill thought that a sense of honor and concern for our reputation could help us to determine the proper thing to do, and just as important, provide us with the much-needed motive to do it. Today, outside of the military and some other pockets of resistance, the notion of honor has become seriously out of date, while the term itself has almost disappeared from our moral language. Most of us think that people ought to do what is right based on a love for jus-tice rather than from a concern with how we are perceived by others. Wide-ranging and accessible, the book explores the role of honor in not only philosophy but also literature and war to make the case that honor can still play an important role in contemporary life.
