Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Biographical Sketch Book Andrew fuller once remarked that he would rather be like the moon, which, although full of spots and imperfections, lends a useful light to men, than a meteor, with its dazzling but transient glare, exciting only the wonder of mankind. It was in the spirit of this sentiment that we compiled the following pages, embracing brief sketches, for the most part, of the lives of men who, by unwearied perseverance, have triumphed over difficulties. Born in an humble sphere, which precluded the advantages of a liberal education, we resolved, that although unable to write a learned work, we would attempt to produce a useful one. Hence, the fastidious critic who shall search for faults, will be rewarded with an abundant harvest. If, however, this volume shall serve as a hint to those so well able to write a better, a valuable end will have been attained. But, in the absence of such, we flatter ourself that the biographical sketch Boox, with all its defects, will not be entirely unacceptable to a discerning public. The needle, although unpolished, may yet serve to point the way to the pole 5 and if the examples set forth shall cheer but one sufferer, and enable him to wait with patience for the bright dawning of to-morrow, the labor will not have been in vain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Portrait Gallery, Vol. 1: With Biographical Sketches It is, however, from the combination of portrait and biography that we reap the utmost degree of utility and pleasure which can be derived from them.' As, in contemplating the portrait of an eminent person, we long to be instructed in his history, so, in considering his actions, we are anxious to behold his countenance. So earnest is this desire, that the imagination is generally ready to coin a set of features, or to conceive a character, to supply the absence of one or the other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Sketch Book, Vol. 1: Chippewa Falls, Wis The store, with its numerous departments; its gentle'manly cashier, Mr. H. H. Todd; its clerks and check boys, is one of which any city might be proud, and is certainly appreciated by the people of Chip pewa Falls. The Stanley Brothers have also a large brick store, well filled with various kinds of goods, but the proprietors being away from home at the time of our visit, we were unable to make a tour of inspection. The new court house occupies a very sightly place, and is an attractive edifice. Its dimensions we are unable to give. The two new hotels are both large and centrally situated. We can speak of the accommodations of only one, tne Central House. Here everything is in perfect order here are landlords and landladies who know how to make their guests feel at home; here too, is a marvel a clerk who knows his business and attends to it. Some humorist, speaking of a hotel clerk, once remarked, that after said clerk had looked at him five seconds, he could not swear whether he belonged to the clerk or to himself. Mr. Harding does not so impress visitors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The issue has taken a far wider range, one of portentous magnitude; and that is, whether the white voter of the North shall be equal to the white voter of the South, in shaping the policy and fixing the destiny of this country; or whether, to put it still more boldly, the white man who fought in the ranks of the Union army shall have as weighty and influential a vote in the government of the Repub lic as the white man who fought in the ranks of the rebel army.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Library of American Biography, Vol. 1 The great political consequences of the war of the revolution have thrown into comparative oh scurity the previous military history of the British North American Colonies. In reality, however, the military efforts made by those Colonies, not only in the Seven Years' war, but in that of 1744, were of great importance. Large forces were kept on foot; distant and important expeditions were undertaken with success; valuable con quests were achieved; and, on more than one occasion, a very decisive influence on the politics of Europe was exercised by the colonial govern ments. Great importance would have been at tached to these transactions, but for the greater importance and interest of those, which followed so close upon them, in the war of the Revolution. But it is not the least of the reasons, why we ought to study the history of these earlier wars, that they formed in reality the great school, in which the military leaders of the Revolution were trained.
