Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 54 The barrens are moved over by troops with comparative fa cility, but, being everywhere intersected by spurs of hum mocks, or by the hummocks themselves, no march of many hours can be made in any section of the territory, that does not encounter impediments which obstruct, delay, or, per haps, entirely turn it aside. Besides, in the more southern portions of the peninsula, there are cypress swamps, the most impracticable of all the embarrassments that beset military Operations in Florida. The cypress has a base that spreads like a trumpet's mouth, and, though the trees may stand many feet apart, they almost crowd at the surface of the earth; while nearly every interstice is filled up by cypress knees, which are Sharp, slender, and short cones, seemingly set there like artificial obstructions to a march. These swamps are moreover mostly inundated, as their name bespeaks. In this enumeration of difficulties, we must not forget the saw-grass and saw-palmetto, both of which have ser rated edges, made harsh and unyielding by the mineral sub stance they take up in their growth, which tear the clothes, and lacerate the legs and feet of the soldiers moving through them, to a degree that can scarcely be comprehended by those who have not seen or felt their effects. The trace of a column through these lets and hinderances has often been marked by blood and the tatters of clothing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 8 Sir William Jones, in a letter to Lord Althorpe, written after one of those excursions to France, in which his inquisitive mind, grasping every species of intellectual attainment, combined the severer studies of political science and law with the luxury of oriental literature, states that he had, among his various pursuits, attended some causes at the Palais, and brought home with him the works of a most learned lawyer, whose name and merit he should have the honour of making known to his countrymen. This writer was Pothier, whom he afterwards noticed and imitated in his beautiful essay on the Law of Bailments, and of whose treatises on the different species of contracts he speaks in the following enthusiastic manner: 'I seize with pleasure an opportunity of recommending those treatises to the English lawyer, exhorting him to read them again and again; for if his great master, Littleton, has given him, as it must be presumed, a taste for luminous method, apposite examples, and a clear manly style, in which nothing is redundant, nothing deficient, he will surely be delighted with works in which all those advantages are combined, and the greatest portion of which is law at Westminster as well as at Orleans.

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.
