"On the wall" (of a bookstore in Boston, England), writes Hawthorne, "hung a crayon portrait of Sterne, never engraved, representing him as a rather young man, blooming, and not uncomely. It was the worldly face of a man fond of pleasure, but without the ugly, keen, sarcastic, odd expression that we see in his only engraved portrait. The picture is an original, and must needs be very valuable; and wo wish it might be prefixed to some now and worthier biography of a writer whose character the world has always treated with singular harshness, considering how much it owes him. There was likewise a portrait of Sterne's wife, looking so haughty and unamiable, that the wonder is, not that he ultimately left her, but how he ever contrived to live a week with such an awful woman."

Book The North American Review  1896  Vol  163  Classic Reprint

This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, 1896, Vol. 163 What the great advocate then so unhesitatingly sug gested, many a thoughtful American since then has at least sus pected - that our great proclamation, as a piece of political literature, cannot stand the test of modern analysis; that it belongs to the immense class of over-praised productions; that it is, in fact, a stately patchwork of sweeping propositions of somewhat doubtful validity that it has long imposed upon man kind by the well-known effectiveness of verbal glitter and sound that, at the best, it is an example of florid political declamation belonging to the sophomoric period of our national life, a period which, as we flatter ourselves, we have now outgrown. Nevertheless, it is to be noted that whatever authority the Declaration of Independence has acquired in the world, has been due to no lack of criticism, either at the time of its first appear ance, or since then; a fact which seems to tell in favor of its es sential worth and strength. From the date of its original publica tion down to the present moment, it has been attacked again and again, either in anger, or in contempt, by friends as well as by enemies of the American Revolution, by liberals in politics as well as by conservatives. It has been censured for its substance, it has been censured for its form, for its misstatements of fact, for its fallacies in reasoning, for its audacious novelties and para doxes, for its total lack of all novelty, for its repetition of old and threadbare statements, even for its downright plagiarisms; finally, for its grandiose and vaporing style.

These extenuations are admissible; but they are, after all, much too slender to save the vituperative habit from being an abomination.

Book The North American Review  Vol  144  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The North American Review Vol 144 Classic Reprint written by Allen Thorndike Rice and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 144 The next generation will find it hard to believe that of the four men living at the outbreak of the war who had occupied the presidential chair not one tendered his support to the National cause, or offered sympathy or patriotic counsel to his overburdened successor at the head of the Government. It will be deemed almost incredible that during the whole four years of that terrible struggle not one of these men, all of whom were citizens of Northern States, made any public utterance intended to strengthen the Union cause or indeed any utterance at all upon the subject, except in one case, when compelled by public clamor to make a lame excuse for his own apathy. Already it is hard to realize that when the conflict drew to its close one of these men refused to decorate his house in honor of our final tri-victory, or display the emblems of mourning on the death of the great leader whose marvelous tact and unfailing steadfastness had brought us through those years of unmatched peril. Still more difficult will it be for posterity to understand that our ex-Presidents were simply types of a very large element of our people. These very naturally desired the war, its causes and overshadowing glories to be forgotten just as soon as possible. They made haste, therefore, to turn the public attention into other channels and to clamor for oblivion in regard to the past. There was another and most peculiar influence tending in this direction. The political organization then having control of the country had in it two elements which looked with especial disfavor on the ascendency within itself of those whose fame rested on military renown. One of these was what was known as the "Abolition Element." These men regarded themselves as, in a sense, the possessors of an exclusive proprietary interest in the Republican party of that day, and thought that the laurels of its first administration, both civic and military, ought to relate back to them as the ultimate cause, rather than rest upon the heads of the immediate agents. Such men as Chase, Sumner, Seward, Greeley, and a host of lesser lights, felt deeply aggrieved at being overshadowed by men like Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, and Stanton, and other military leaders whom they regarded, if not us trespassers on their demesne, at least as men who had merely adopted their ideas and reaped advantage from their labors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 162: January, 1896 Addressing himself to his task under these circumstances, his argument is partly negative, and partly affirmative. The first goes to show the futility or insufficiency of the presumptions against survival which are drawn from the character of death. The second and more limited part goes to show substantive likeli hoods, drawn from nature or experience, that the soul may sur vive death. In the first he is eminently successful. In the second we become sensible how scanty is the supply of material at his command. Much of the depreciation lavished on the chapter has arisen from'the careless supposition that he is advancing as substantive arguments what in reality he only propounds as re buttals of adverse presumptions.

Download or read book The North American Review 1846 Vol 63 Classic Reprint written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, 1846, Vol. 63 Man is made a moral being by his powers of observation, reflection, and reasoning, combined with his conscious free agency. He understands what he does, and he does what he prefers to do. Moreover, as actions lead to events by invariable laws, they are the legitimate subjects of rules. But moral rules, as they are designed to act upon the will, must, in order to be of any avail, be adjusted with reference to those motives or springs of action which immediately in fluence the will. The springs of action our author enumer ates as follows: The Appetites or Bodily Desires; the Afl'ections the Mental Desnres the Moral Sentiments and the Reflex Sentiments, under which head he classes the desire of love or esteem from others, and the desire of our own approval, together with all those Springs of Action which are designated by some compound of the world Self as Self-fldmt'ration, self-love. This last class seems to us redundant. We can trace no difference in kind between the desire of superiority, enumerated among the mental desires, and that of popularity or fame, which is put among the reflex sentiments. We do not deny, indeed, that the love of fame is a reflex sentiment; but so is hunger, thirst. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-12-09 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, 1834, Vol. 38 Our readers may naturally doubt whether the state of the religious world be equally favorable to impartiality, but we trust that there is more enlargement of mind than in former days, since controversies, though not more gentle than formerly, are argued on more liberal and enlightened grounds. But whetherthis be so or not, it is evident that a fair View of the subject of Cowper's depression need not give offence to any religious party. Hayley and others, who did not agree with Cowper in his sentiments, have generally described his com plaint as religious despondency a phrase which has given much offence to those who hold those Opinions. Even Mont gomery, who, one would think, lived far enough from the scene of action to be able to keep his temper, expresses himself thus: 'in spite of unanswerable confutations of the ignorant and malignant falsehood, the enemies of Christian truth persevere in asserting that too much religion made poor Cowper mad. If they be sincere, they are themselves under the strongest delusion; and it will be well ifit prove not, on their part, a wilful one, - it will be well if they have not reached that last perversity of human reason, to believe a falsehood of their own invention - and more equally in the spirit of the Gospel.
