Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, 1913, Vol. 198 I wish to present some observations which may have a useful application in the course of this process. There are two separate processes going on among the civilized nations at the present time. One is an assault by Socialism against the individualism which underlies the social system of Western civilization. The other is an as sault against. Existing institutions upon the ground that they do not adequately protect and develop the existing social order. It is of this latter process in our own country that I wish to speak, and I assume an agreement, that the right of individual liberty and the inseparable right of private property which lie at the foundation of our modern civiliza tion ought to be maintained. The conditions of life in America have changed very much since the Constitution of the United States was adopted. In 1787 each State entering into the Federal Union had preserved the separate organic life of the original colony. Each had its center of social and business and political life. Each was separated from the others by the barriers of slow and difficult communication. In a vast territory, without railroads or steamships or telegraph or telephone, each com munity lived within itself.

This book was released on 2018-03-03 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 48 But no part Of his early studies was so advantageous to him, as the long series Of diligent researches, which he carried on upon the Site of the principal Cities of Ancient Italy fre quently directing in person the excavations from which his materials were to be derived, and pursuing with his own eyes the numerous topographical investigations, the neglect of which had hitherto formed one of the Chief obstacles to a Satisfactory history of that remote period. An attentive Study of numismatics strengthened and confirmed the views, which these preparatory researches had suggested and, when he first put his hand to the composition of his history of Italy before the Roman Conquest, there was hardly a spot of the peninsula which he had not visited, or an important monu ment which he had not examined. This work was published in Florence, in 1810, in four volumes octavo, together with a folio Atlas, containing sixty plates, illustrative of the manners and customs of the ancient Italians. Its object was as important as its plan was new. Ancient Italy had till then been the subject of puerile fables, or of researches purely antiquarian. Micali was the first who ventured to engage in the bold and hazardous task of separating the false from the true, in the fragments which have come down to us Of the old writers, and of restoring the history of this primitive civilization, by drawing from its numerous monuments their varied and enigmatic records. His work was divided into two parts. The first is devoted to a descriptive examination of the original divisions and Of the primitive inhabitants of the country. The second is a narrative of their revolutions and of the various incidents of their history. The History of Italy before the Roman Conquest, preceded the Roman History of Niebuhr, and, if we may be allowed to judge by the rank which these two celebrated works seem now to have permanently taken, has survived it. Niebuhr himself, who had attacked many of the positions of Micali in his first edition refracted his accusations in the last.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 31 Mr. Jefferson, in his letter on the kings of Europe, charges Joseph II. of Austria with insanity. It may be worth the while to give a little time to the consideration of the character of a ruler, about whom opinions have been so much divided. The materials are abundant, and now that the age of revolutions is past, history may be just to the imperial reformer. The prince, for whom Mozart composed music, Kaunitz negotiated, and Laudon won victories, occupies a prominent station among the sovereigns of Austria. The contrast between monarchies and democratic states is in nothing more striking, than in the degrees and amount of political abilities, which they respectively call into action. Men may dispute, if they will, whether liberty be the fostering parent of the arts, and may continue to raise questions respecting the influence of forms of government on letters; but the turbulent contests, the unsparing and unqualified competition, allowed in popular states, quicken natural talents and furnish every facility and every inducement for their display. At courts the race is not necessarily to the swift; and men are naturally turned aside from the career of the public service, when no scope is furnished them for the full exercise of natural powers and the manly struggle for honors.

Few there are that 'consider the lilies of the field, how they grow;' and even those who do believe, that 'the morrow will take thought for itself, ' are not entirely wrong in wishing to acquire the means of avoiding vexatious cares, and of doing good.

They don't want efficiency, they want flattery. The back - slap ping, baby - kissing, gin-drinking, dry voting, loud-mouthed politician is the natural product of democracy.

Download or read book Tanakh Epistemology written by Douglas Yoder and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, Douglas Yoder uses the tools of modern and postmodern philosophy and biblical criticism to elucidate the epistemology of the Tanakh, the collection of writings that comprise the Hebrew Bible. Despite the conceptual sophistication of the Tanakh, its epistemology has been overlooked in both religious and secular hermeneutics. The concept of revelation, the genre of apocalypse, and critiques of ideology and theory are all found within or derive from epistemic texts of the Tanakh. Yoder examines how philosophers such as Spinoza, Hume, and Kant interacted with such matters. He also explores how the motifs of writing, reading, interpretation, image, and animals, topics that figure prominently in the work of Derrida, Foucault, and Nietzsche, appear also in the Tanakh. An understanding of Tanakh epistemology, he concludes, can lead to new appraisals of religious and secular life throughout the modern world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, 1859, Vol. 88 Apart from the exact scrences, there is no subject which is more interesting, or which more fully repays the student, than the history of jurisprudence. When Austin Caxton devoted the labor of a lifetime to the History of Human Error, he had for his theme the sorrows and the weaknesses of man kind from the birth of time; but more vast and instructive would be a history of the laws under which man has lived and died, each unit of the race struggling on his allotted path through joys and griefs fashioned for the most part by the in visible network of habits, customs, and statutes, which sur round him ou every side, and silently shape his daily actions. To the reflecting mind few popular quotations are so essen tially false, or reveal so narrow a View of human affairs, as the often cited lines, how small, of all that human hearts endure, That part which laws or kings can cause or cure!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 19 Now, though there are not many men capable of origin ating these comprehensive, self inspecting surveys and esti mates, yet, after they are made, there are large numbers who can read them with enjoyment and profit.' It is no small thing to direct a man's attention to himself; yet this is effect ed by the very Sight of a book on the mind. The soul for a moment swells before it with the consciousness of its untried and indefinite powers. The contents of most libraries lead one away from one's self. But take such a work as Cogan on the Passions, - though it is rather a dull book, and the author was not equal to his task, which abler hands might have wrought into a treatise almost unequalled in interest and utility, - we think that any common man, who reads this book, will become wiser, better, greater, and happier, and will particularly be convinced that every one cannot be 'his own intellectual philosopher. Passion, habit, prejudice, wild imagination, unprofitable reverie, wrong directions, and mis taken objects Of thought, all which, by stealing encroachments or violent incursions, may be fast wearing away the charac ter, are liable to be arrested in their progress even by a prosing treatise, which shall subject them to a cool analysis, and make the mind familiar with comprehensive descriptions and classifications of them.

Download or read book Democracy in Session written by David M. Gold and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 200 years no institution has been more important to the development of the American democratic polity than the state legislature, yet no political institution has been so neglected by historians. Although more lawmaking takes place in the state capitals than in Washington D.C., scholars have lavished their attention on Congress, producing only a handful of histories of state legislatures. Most of those histories have focused on discrete legislative acts rather than on legislative process, and all have slighted key aspects of the legislative environment: the parliamentary rules of play, the employees who make the game possible, the physical setting--the arena--in which the people's representatives engage in conflict and compromise to create public policy. This book relates in fascinating detail the history of the Ohio General Assembly from its eighteenth-century origins in the Northwest Territory to its twenty-first-century incarnation as a full-time professional legislature. Democracy in Session explains the constitutional context within which the General Assembly functions, examines the evolution of legislative committees, and explores the impact of technology on political contests and legislative procedure. It sheds new light on the operations of the House and Senate clerks' offices and on such legislative rituals as seat selection, opening prayers, and the Pledge of Allegiance. Partisan issues and public policy receive their due, but so do ethics and decorum, the election of African American and female legislators, the statehouse, and the social life of the members. Democracy in Session is, in short, the most comprehensive history of a state legislature written to date and an important contribution to the story of American democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 99 A story, dramatically complete from prologue to epilogue, was demanded in the cosmological childhood Of the science, and its manhood still peruses its fragmentary and mutilated rec Ords for the history Of the creation. But doubtless the story is as deficient in the dramatic unities, as the record itself is in continuity or completeness. Referring to Mr. Spencer's admirable essay on Illogical Geology for our reasons, we will simply state our belief that nothing in the form Of a complete or connected history will ever be deciphered from the geological record.
