Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Past and the Present: A Discourse Delivered Before the Erosophic Society of the University of Alabama A few facts, simple in themselves, but wonderful in their connexion and results, make up the entire history of man, and explain his relation to the planet he inhabits. The earth, itself, is but a vast tomb of buried matter, man but the rudiment of a future. Both are destined to a more perfect and useful state. The one to become the base of mighty physical changes, the other the source of moral and intellectual reforms. If, on the one hand, all is destruction, so, on the other, all is re-production. Nothing lives or perishes without its purpose. No variation in nature occurs in vain. If fires burst forth from the centre of our globe, and heave, and twist, and break into fragments, immense beds of rock; if the fountains of the great deep are broken up, and the winds rushing from their prison house, overturn the barriers between sea and land; if empires are destroyed; if whole races of men become extinct, and the records of their sciences crumble to dust; - it is only that new seas and new lands, new races of beings, and new civilization, may rise in their places. All, from the land we stand upon, to the most refined intelligence, is in a state of progression. Each atom of existence forms a part of that great system, which evolves the destiny of man, and advances him nearer and nearer towards his God. There may be discovered in many of the writers and speakers of the day, a disposition to undervalue the times in which we live.

Download or read book Taming Alabama written by Paul McWhorter Pruitt (Jr.) and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2010-07-20 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taming Alabama focuses on persons and groups who sought to bring about reforms in the political, legal, and social worlds of Alabama. Most of the subjects of these essays accepted the fundamental values of nineteenth and early twentieth century white southern society; and all believed, or came to believe, in the transforming power of law. As a starting point in creating the groundwork of genuine civility and progress in the state, these reformers insisted on equal treatment and due process in elections, allocation of resources, and legal proceedings. To an educator like Julia Tutwiler or a clergyman like James F. Smith, due process was a question of simple fairness or Christian principle. To lawyers like Benjamin F. Porter, Thomas Goode Jones, or Henry D. Clayton, devotion to due process was part of the true religion of the common law. To a former Populist radical like Joseph C. Manning, due process and a free ballot were requisites for the transformation of society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This case study in cultural mythmaking shows how antebellum Alabama created itself out of its own printed texts, from treatises on law and history to satire, poetry, and domestic novels. Early 19th-century Alabama was a society still in the making. Now Philip Beidler tells how the first books written and published in the state influenced the formation of Alabama's literary and political culture. As Beidler shows, virtually overnight early Alabama found itself in possession of the social, political, and economic conditions required to jump start a traditional literary culture in the old Anglo-European model: property-based class relationships, large concentrations of personal wealth, and professional and merchant classes of similar social, political, educational, and literary views. Beidler examines the work of well-known writers such as humorist Johnson J. Hooper and novelist Caroline Lee Hentz, and takes on other classic pieces like Albert J. Pickett's History of Alabama and Alexander Beaufort Meek's epic poem The Red Eagle. Beidler also considers lesser-known works like Lewis B. Sewall's verse satire The Adventures of Sir John Falstaff the II, Henry Hitchcock's groundbreaking legal volume Alabama Justice of the Peace, and Octavia Walton Levert's Souvenirs of Travel. Most of these works were written by and for society's elite, and although many celebrate the establishment of an ordered way of life, they also preserve the biases of authors who refused to write about slavery yet continually focused on the extermination of Native Americans. First Books returns us to the world of early Alabama that these texts not only recorded but helped create. Written with flair and a strong individual voice, it will appeal not only to scholars of Alabama history and literature but also to anyone interested in the antebellum South.
