Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, 1877, Vol. 124 The difference between the results of voting by single districts and by general ticket may be brought home to the apprehensions of all by an illustration. Suppose all the, people of the United States voted directly for President; suppose the law to require that the entire vote of each State should be cast by the majority of that State; suppose a large State to cast for one candi date, and for the other; the candidate having a majority would be credited with the whole votes in summing up the aggregate vote of the Union. This is practically the result of this method now. Ever so small a majority throws the entire electoral vote of a State. The unfairness of the present system, the great temptation it offers for frauds, and the great scope it gives to the operation of local frauds or even mistakes, ought to be sufficient to condemn it. But this statement does not exhaust, it does little more than begin to enumerate, the objections. Y. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

On account of their insu lation from the few currents Of intelligence that find their way to the plantations of the mainland, they are probably less raised from their original degradation than the major ity Of the blacks, an impression that is confirmed by com paring them with the refugees who have escaped from the interior of the State. Three years we have passed with these people, knowing them intimately in all the relations of life. Our experience therefore is narrow, but at least neither dis tance nor the light that is most favorable lends coloring to our view.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, 1877, Vol. 125 The prominent and well-known facts of the case, set forth in the plain style of simple narration, will show whether the count was honest, and if not honest whether any excuse can be found for its falseness. But to make this more intelligible, it is necessary to remind the reader of certain points in our political history which have within the last twenty years divided the two parties and defined their antagonism. The powers of the Federal government, the rights of the States, and the liberties of the people, these constitute the essential parts of the system to which our fathers set the seal of their wis dom and virtue. This trinity of political forces, so harmoniously adjusted that each gave strength to the others, did indeed seem to make a government as nearly perfect as possible. Each was a vital part; the lzfe of the nation depended upon the preserva tion of one as much as the other; the government (using the word in its true American sense) would as certainly be destroyed by the overthrow of popular liberty, or the subjugation of the States, as by successful resistance to Federal authority.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, 1847, Vol. 64 The year 1721 had opened under happy auspices for the partisans of the Stuarts, for an heir had been born to the throne, and their hopes and affections, so long chilled by the weakness of the father, were turned with double warmth to the son. All the pomp of royal etiquette had been rigorous ly observed at the birth of Charles Edward. The nobles of his three kingdoms had been summoned to attend on this im portant occasion the apartment was crowded with cardinals and prelates rich gifts were offered around the cradle, and a royal salute from the cannon of St. Angelo showed how deep an interest the Catholic world still felt in the fortunes of a family which had sacrificed a throne to its zeal for the reli ion of its fathers.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 144 Doubtless a vast majority of the Republican party, when once they found themselves successful, regretted that instead of the inexperienced backwoodsman, they did not have in the Presi dential chair the scholarly and veteran Seward, or the astute and plausible Chase. In truth, it was mainly because these men were called into his Cabinet that the party gave that confidence to his Administration at the outset that it did. They had the most unswerving confidence in his purity, and almost equal confidence in their skill. They believed him incapable of intentional wrong, and thought his advisers would show him how to do right.

Download or read book The North American Review Vol 248 written by Joseph Hilton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 248: Founded 1815 William Allen White has long been regarded as a Will Rogers of journalism, a beloved philosopher of the West. He is the proprietor and editor of the Emporia Daily and Weekly Gazette which is always enlivened by his shrewd yet kindly comment. His latest book, Puritan in Babylon, was an excellent study of that frost-bitten nonentity, President Coolidge. Henry Seidel Canby was an instructor in English until he became editor of the Saturday Review of Literature in 1924. After twelve years, Mr. Canby relinquished that post and has since been one of their contributing editors. He is chairman of the board of judges for the Book-of-the-Month Club. Houghton-Mifflin are publishing his newest book, Thoreau, of which "Two Women" is a chapter. It seems to us that a woman who has had published about seventy-five articles would be a professional writer, but Marie Kimball assures us that writing is one of her hobbies. Her vocation is being the wife of Fiske Kimball, director of the Philadelphia Museum, and her avocations include cooking (she publishes in women's magazines her culinary discoveries) and translating. Her literary expeditions began when she translated articles for the San Francisco Chronicle at twelve years of age. The list of books written by Reginald Wright Kauffman looks somewhat like a publisher's book-list. He has been associated with Saturday Evening Post, Delineator and Hampton's Magazine on their editorial staffs, was a war correspondent, and, as well as serious books and novels, he has written much juvenile fiction. He is also the author of numerous screen plays. Herbert Wright's business is international law, so he should know the angles on diplomacy. He is a member of the executive council of the American Society of International Law, and has spent the last nine years as head of the department of politics at the Catholic University of America.

The rules of the House were suspended, and the resolution passed on the very day of its introduction. No less than two hun dred and thirty-three votes were recorded in its favor. Only eigh teen members voted against it. That reiterated vociferation accomplished the purpose for which it was designed. It defeated the renomination of General Grant in 1876.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 161: July, 1895 We must be a little wary when Brander Matthews tells us that Cooper's books reveal an extraordinary fulness of invention. As a rule, I am quite willing to accept Brander Matthews's literarv judgments and applaud his lucid and graceful phrasing of them but that particular statement needs to be taken with a few tons of salt. Bless your heart, Cooper hadn't any more invention than a horse; and I don't mean a high class horse, either; I mean a clothes-horse. It would be very difficult to find a really clever situation in Cooper's books and still more difficult to find one of any kind which he has failed to render absurd by his handling of it. Look at the episodes of the caves i and at the cele brated scuffle between Maqua and those others on the table-land a few days later and at Hurry Harry's queer water-transit from the castle to the ark and at Deerslayer's half hour with his first corpse and at the quarrel between Hurry Harry and Deerslayer later and at - but choose for yourself you can't go amiss.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, 1900, Vol. 171 They have recognized in kerosene a cheap and good illuminant, much superior to their own nut-oil, and it has consequently found its way into distant and outlying parts of the Empire where the very name of America is unknown. Stores in the interior now send their agents to the treaty ports for it. In the same way, foreign made candles, because cheaper than those of home make, are selling easily in China. I would suggest that American farmers and manufacturers might find it to their advantage to study the wants and habits of the Chinese and the conditions of trade in China. Thus we see that China can give the United States a much needed market. What, on the other hand, can the United States do for China? Let us consider China's stock of the three requi sites for the production of wealth - land, labor and capital.
