Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 149 While, then, it should be distinctly understood as not open to debate that the faculty must govern the college, and must absolute ly decide in any issue between them and the students, still the con stant aim and unceasing study should be to make it unnecessary for them to use their authority by cultivating in all ways among the students the manly and earnest spirit which makes the resort to authority unnecessary, and especially by leading the students to feel that their teachers are not spies and antagonists, but their true friends, eager to assist them in every way. A great improve ment has taken place in this generation in the relations of college officers and students, and in the general demeanor of students. That improvement has been largely due to the adoption to a greater or less extent of the principles advocated in this paper. In most colleges the petty and detailed supervision of the student's daily and hourly life has been relaxed or abandoned. Less reliance for insuring good conduct is now placed on manifold restraints than on the appeal to a manly spirit in the student. I am of the opinion that the introduction of the elective system in the latter part of the college course has also been most beneficial from a moral, as well as from an intel lectual, point of view. The compulsory pursuit of unwelcome studies in the junior and senior years used to cause much friction and discontent.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 70 Literary history is the least familiar kind of historical writing. It is, in some respects, the most difficult, requiring, and certainly, far the most laborious study. The facts for civil history we gather from personal experience, or from the examination of a comparatively few authors, whose statements the historian transfers, with such modification and commentary as he pleases, to his own pages. But in literary history, the books are the facts, and pretty substantial ones in many cases, which are not to be mastered at a glance, or on the report of another. It is a tedious process to read through a library in order to decide that the greater part is probably not worth reading at all. Literary history must come late in the intellectual development of a nation. It is the history of books, and there can be no history of books till books are written. It presupposes, moreover, a critical knowledge, - an acquaintance with the principles of taste, which can come only from a wide study and comparison of models. It is, therefore, necessarily the product of an advanced state of civilization and mental culture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 26 Twenty-Three years have elapsed, since the work standing at the head of this article was given to the public by its distinguished author. It was originally prefixed to his Life of General Washington, as an Introduction necessary to the full understanding of the events of the revolution. It is now detached from that highly valuable work, the merits of which we hope, at some future period, to bring in an ample manner before our readers, if indeed there be any to whom they are unknown, and it is again presented to the public in the form of a distinct history of the colonies, adapted for an independent circulation. We entirely approve of the plan of originally annexing it to the Life of Washington; and we equally approve of its present separation in the manner adopted by the author, and for the reasons which he assigns. A general knowledge of the antecedent history of the colonies is indispensable, for a correct understanding of the history of the revolution, whether it be read for edification, or for the mere amusement of idle hours.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 147 Evidences of both are only too apparent. Dignity is always an argument in itself, it lends a beautiful force, like that of delicate machinery, to those perfected arguments which it weaves. The man who keeps his temper; who avoids invective as a distinguished American gentleman for forty years avoided audible sneezing; who has no more taste for superficiality and sophistry than a ship-wrecked sailor for a polka; who curbs passion into persuasions, and the license of rhetoric into the liberty of logic such a man carries the presumption of favor for his case in so far as he is such a man; and he ought to. The treasure of the Christian faith is not of a kind to be borne away from us by intellectual burglary. In the next place I am reminded of the comment made on the Concord School of Philosophy by one of the keen newspaper men who have made American wit a modern discovery. The Concord students spent their time, he said, in trying to scrutineer the inscrutable and poss the impossible. The controversy in which Colonel Ingersoll has been the defendant is, I venture to say, not upon his part alone, an attempt to poss the impossible. Tactically considered, the discussion has to a marked extent followed that simple military expedient known as "firing wild." It strikes me that the chief reason for this is one for which no individual party to the encounter can be held responsible; least of all, the distinguished statesman whose scholarship, dignity, and repose have given value to the conflict if they have not won the day. Is not the main trouble with the discussion the absence of definition? Really, when we come to look at it, there is no such thing postulated between the opponents. The simplest conditions of controversy are disregarded from the start. There are no common terms. It is easy to ask, How can there be any? What can there be? Between a mind which finds it natural to call Heaven a poorhouse and Jehovah an eternal turnkey, and the mind of a devout believer in the divine mission of Jesus Christ, where is the common term? True, it may be a matter of the subtlest difficulty to find one; it may even seem to be past finding out; but for controversial purposes it is no less necessary for that.
