Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Francis Lieber For a long time Germany has paid a high price for her military supremacy and her somewhat rigid system of government, by the constant drain that emigration to this country has made upon her population. During the last sixty years, no less than three million Germans have reached these shores, most of whom have made themselves homes where it was possible to enjoy immunity from some Of the discomforts which. They felt in their own land. Among these immigrants, who have formed a very valuable part of the population of the United States, have been many political exiles, who have been the special Object of the despotic measures that have occasionally threatened to stifle the national life of Germany during the present cen tury and it is impossible to overlook the almost infallible accuracy with which the German police put their hand on those young men who, under different circumstances, have shown themselves able to shed glory on the land of their adoption, as well as on that Of their birth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Francis Lieber This volume contains extracts from the Diary and the copious correspondence of the late Dr. Francis Lieber, with such additional information as was necessary concerning his early years. Fortunately the greater part of his life was told by his own pen, and'the incidents of his later years were so few in number that they may be gathered from his letters. These were many in number, and the reader will see how varied were the subjects which attracted Lieber's attention. His zeal for the great questions of civic duty is familiar to those who have studied his books. Dr. D. C. Gilman, the accomplished president of Johns Hopkins University, has collected in two volumes the most important of Lieber's miscellaneous writings. This book, it is hoped, will complete the picture of the man. Doctor Lieber's widow had faithfully preserved every memorial of her distinguished husband, and the task of the editor has been almost entirely one of selection from a vast mass of material.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life, Character, and Writings Francis Lieber: A Discourse Delivered Before the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, January 13, 1873 Which regiment should we choose? Of course one which was garrisoned near the enemy's frontier, so that we should be sure not to have a peaceable campaign in a distant reserve. There was a regiment among the troops near the frontier of France, which en joyed a particularly high and just reputation; its name was 'col berg, ' bestowed in honor of its valiant defence of the fortress of Colberg in the year 1806 - the only Prussian fortified place at that wretched time which did not surrender to the French. It was composed of brave and steady Pomeranians, a short, broad shouldered, healthy race; in more than twenty 'ranged' engage ments during the campaign of 1813 - 14 had they shown themselves worthy of their honorable name. My brother and myself selected this regiment. When the day of the enlistment of the volunteers arrived, we went to my father and said: Well, then, we are going; is it with your consent Go. To your mother, ' he replied. We went to her; our hearts were full, she had suffered so much during the first campaign. With a half choked voice I said; 'mother, we are going to be enrolled - shall we She fell into our arms, that noble woman, and sobbed aloud. 'gol' was all her bleed ing heart allowed her to utter and, had she been the mother of twenty sons, she would have sent them all. We had to wait from ten to one o'clock before we could get a chance to have our names taken down, the throng was so great.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Sister St. Francis Xavier (Irma Le Fer De La Motte): Of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana A revised edition of the Life and Letters of Sister Saint Francis Xavier is especially welcome at this time, when the centennial celebration of Indiana's statehood has revived the memory and the worth of those who have laid the foundation of Indiana's position and power among the States of the Union. The Life and Letters of Sister Saint Francis Ite freshens our memory, in a special manner, with the heroic deeds of those, who, in the designs of Wisdom Eternal, were destined to plant the seeds of faith, since then grown and still growing into the mighty tree of the Gospel. Looking only to God's glory and to the spread of His kingdom among men, it is not surprising that they have written so little concerning themselves. Fortunately, in the correspondence preserved and here presented, we have virtually an autobiography Of one of these great servants of God.

Download or read book Cradle of Liberty written by Caroline Levander and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2006-10-25 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout American literature, the figure of the child is often represented in opposition to the adult. In Cradle of Liberty Caroline F. Levander proposes that this opposition is crucial to American political thought and the literary cultures that surround and help produce it. Levander argues that from the late eighteenth century through the early twentieth, American literary and political texts did more than include child subjects: they depended on them to represent, naturalize, and, at times, attempt to reconfigure the ground rules of U.S. national belonging. She demonstrates how, as the modern nation-state and the modern concept of the child (as someone fundamentally different from the adult) emerged in tandem from the late eighteenth century forward, the child and the nation-state became intertwined. The child came to represent nationalism, nation-building, and the intrinsic connection between nationalism and race that was instrumental in creating a culture of white supremacy in the United States. Reading texts by John Adams, Thomas Paine, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Augusta J. Evans, Mark Twain, Pauline Hopkins, William James, José Martí, W. E. B. Du Bois, and others, Levander traces the child as it figures in writing about several defining events for the United States. Among these are the Revolutionary War, the U.S.-Mexican War, the Civil War, and the U.S. expulsion of Spain from the Caribbean and Cuba. She charts how the child crystallized the concept of self—a self who could affiliate with the nation—in the early national period, and then follows the child through the rise of a school of American psychology and the period of imperialism. Demonstrating that textual representations of the child have been a potent force in shaping public opinion about race, slavery, exceptionalism, and imperialism, Cradle of Liberty shows how a powerful racial logic pervades structures of liberal democracy in the United States.
