Book excerpt: Excerpt from The True Grandeur of Nations: An Oration Delivered Before the Authorities of the City of Boston, July 4, 1845 Honor to the memory Of our fathers! May the turf lie lightly on their sacred graves! Not in words only, but in deeds also, let us testify our reverence for their name, imitating what in them was lofty, pure, and good, learning from them to bear hardship and priva tion. May we, who now reap in strength what they sowed in weakness, augment the inheritance we have received! TO this end, we mu st not fold our hands in slumber, nor abide content with the past.

Download or read book Addresses on War Classic Reprint written by Charles Sumner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses on War Charles sumner began his public life by what he himself called a declaration of war against war. His great oration in Tremont Temple on The True Grandeur of Nations marked, his biographer rightly Observes, the most important epoch in Sumner's life. Had he died before this event, his memory would have been only a tradition with the few early friends who survive him. The 4th of July, 1845, gave him a national, and more than a national, fame. Epoch making in Sumner's own life, we think it may be safely said that no oration which he ever gave has greater intrinsic importance, and perhaps no other will be read so long. Of all pleas made by Ameri can men for the rule of peace on earth, it is the noblest and the most comprehensive, save Sumner's own later address on The War System of Nations. There is almost no argument against war which these orations and their successor do not somehow make use of; and the advocate of peace in all the years returns to them, and returns again, for support and inspiration. The bringing together in a single volume, as is now done for the first time, of all of Sumner's three great addresses on war and peace is a distinct public service; and every philanthropist and every true philo-american will wish the volume the widest currency and influence.

This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 758 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Centennial Biographical History of Champaign County, Ohio: Illustrated Champaign County, Ohio, has sustained within its confines men who have been prominent in public affairs and great industrial enterprises for almost a century. The annals teem with the records of strong and noble manhood, and, as Sumner has said, the true grandeur of nations is in those qualities which constitute the greatness of the individual. The final causes which shape the fortunes of individ nals and the destinies of States are often the same. They are usually remote and obscure, and their influence scarcely perceived until manifestly declared by results. That nation is the greatest which produces the greatest and most manly men and faithful women; and the intrinsic safety of a community depends not so much upon methods as upon that normal development from the deep resources of which proceeds all that is precious and permanent in life. But such a result may not consciously be contemplated by the actors in the great social drama. Pursuing each his personal good by exalted means, they work out as a logical result.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a masterful study Carl Richard explores how the Greek and Roman classics became enshrined in American antebellum culture. For the first time, knowledge of the classics extended beyond aristocratic males to the middle class, women, African Americans, and frontier settlers. The Civil War led to a radical alteration of the educational system in a way that steadily eroded the preeminence of the classics.

Download or read book A Library of the World s Best Literature Ancient and Modern Vol XXXVI Forty Five Volumes Sully Thackeray written by Charles Dudley Warner and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular American essayist, novelist, and journalist CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER (1829-1900) was renowned for the warmth and intimacy of his writing, which encompassed travelogue, biography and autobiography, fiction, and more, and influenced entire generations of his fellow writers. Here, the prolific writer turned editor for his final grand work, a splendid survey of global literature, classic and modern, and it's not too much to suggest that if his friend and colleague Mark Twain-who stole Warner's quip about how "everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it"-had assembled this set, it would still be hailed today as one of the great achievements of the book world. Highlights from Volume 36 include: . the poetry of Sully-Prudhomme . the writings of Charles Sumner . the philosophy of Emanuel Swedenborg . the satire of Jonathan Swift . the poetry of Algernon Charles Swinburne . the writings of Tacitus . Tahitian literature . excerpts from the Talmud . the sermons of Jeremy Taylor . the poetry of Alfred Tennyson . the writings of William Makepeace Thackeray . and much, much more.
