Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 90 The question is often started, whether advance in civilization and knowledge is favorable to poetry. It would be about as fair a question, whether the spring, summer, or autumn is the most favorable season for flowers. The only answer would be to ask, in turn, For what kind of flowers? If for anemones and violets, the spring; if for asters, the autumn. In like manner each stage of development has its poetry. In an age of external facts, when life has to do constantly with the outward, poetry will be objective. The epic and the drama both have their epoch here. But when life has become more internal, - when the outward affords little excitement, and the great struggles are carried on within the soul, - then poetry becomes subjective. As society advances, narrative poetry, or even prose fiction, has less place. It is in the imperfections of a wall, the crevices that time has made or unskilfulness has left, that the ivy and the wall-flower take their root. So an examination of the narrative literature of our own day would show that it has its root in the faults, not in the perfections, of our civilization.

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. 42 II. But it is well known that manuscripts, believed to be ancient, do exist, and in great numbers. We pass, then, in the next place, to consider what facts and arguments there are by which the genuineness of these is to be authenticated. We commence this division of the subject, with two pre liminary remarks. One is, it is obvious, that if in respect to any work regarded as ancient, an unquestionable autograph copy, that is, a copy in the hand-writing of the author can be found, all further question in regard to its genuineness is precluded. But there are few such autographs, even of any modern writer; and none of any ancient one. Yet, as we shall presently attempt to shew, such a near approximation can be made to this degree of certainty, by means of the circum stances attending the original writing, and the preservation and transmission of manuscripts, that the genuineness and antiquity of a work is scarcely less certain, than if the first copy in the hand-writing of the author were still extant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 97 When we consider Jean Paul as an artist, we find a singular limitation in his genius. He has a gigantic creative power combined with a diminutive shaping power. He can grasp and associate truth, feeling, facts, phenomena, more Copiously than any except the very greatest minds; but in grouping his material into coherent relations to a general design, fashioning it into symmetrical forms, giving it proper location, perspec tive, and movement, many rank much above him who are in comparably inferior to him in everything else. He suffers in popularity greatly in consequence of this defect. Most per sons read chiefly for the story; with him the story is the least important thing, and is buried in gorgeous masses of incidental matter. His sporadic mind and style bewilder and weary the reader who has not agile faculties and, wealthy resources to follow his clews of swift and complex allusion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 91 These are the principal exceptions which need be made to Mr. Kemp's book. Taken altogether, it merits the highest commendation. Its leading principles are correct, and its practical directions are for the most part judicious, minute, and clearly expressed. Seldom have we seen so much matter condensed into so small a space. It must take rank among the best works Of the kind in the English language. The second book mentioned at the beginning of this article is one to which an interest Of a different sort attaches. It is an American production, the larger part of it written by the lamented Downing, and the Supplement by a friend of kindred spirit and acquirements. With the original work, the public had long been familiar: it had passed through six editions, and was still read and admired by all lovers of the refined pursuits which it advocates and explains. But, during the lapse Of eighteen years since its publication, new trees, shrubs, vines, and plants had been introduced, and longer experience had given its verdict on the merits Of the Older favorites; considerable improvement had been made in the methods of arranging and planting ornamental grounds; and the country, having advanced in wealth and refinement, demanded further instruction in the arts which embellish rural life. For these and other reasons, it seemed quite desirable that a new edition of this work should be prepared, bringing the subject in all respects up to the condition and wants of the present day. This has been done by Mr. Sargent. A gentleman Of fin ished scholarship, with a natural taste for arboriculture, cultivated by various reading and observation and by practice on his own estate, as well as liberalized by foreign travel, he was just the person to revise the pages of Downing, and to add to them whatever improvements had recently been made in this department. It will enhance the reader's interest in the work, to know that the labors of the editor were bestowed gratuitously, for the benefit of Mr. Downing's family, a voluntary enriching of the widow's bequest, Mr. Willis ob serves, for which, aside from the especial merits of his work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 31 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 respect ing 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 natu ral powers and the manly struggle for honors.

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.
