Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Great Republic and the Early Discoveries, an Impartial History of the United States of America to 1884 To write history respectably - that is, to abbreviate dispatches, and make extracts from speeches, to intersperse in due proportion epithets of praise and abhorrence, to draw up antithetical characters of great men, setting forth how many contradictory virtues and vices they united, and abounding in withs and withouts - all this is very easy. But to be a really great historian is perhaps the rarest of intellectual distinctions. Many scientific, works are, in their kind, absolutely perfect. There are poems which we should be inclined to designate as faultless, or as disfigured only by blemishes which pass unnoticed in the general blaze of excellence. There are speeches, some speeches of Demosthenes particularly, in which it would be impossible to alter a word without altering it for the worse. But we are acquainted with no history which approaches to our notion of what a history ought to be - with no history which does not widely depart, either on the right hand or on the left, from the exact line. The cause may easily be assigned. This province of literature is a debatable land. It lies on the confines of two distinct territories. It is under the jurisdiction of two hostile powers; and, like other districts similarly situated, it is ill defined, ill cultivated, and ill regulated. Instead of being equally shared between its two rulers, the reason and the imagination, it falls alternately under the sole and absolute dominion of each. It is sometimes fiction. It is sometimes theory. History, it has been said, is philosophy teaching by examples. Unhappily what the philosopher gains in soundness and depth, the examples generally lose in vividness. A perfect historian must possess an imagination sufficiently powerful to make his narrative affecting and picturesque; yet he must control it so absolutely as to content himself with the materials which he finds, and to refrain from supplying deficiencies by additions of his own. He must be a profound and ingenious reasoner; yet he must posssess sufficient self-command to abstain from casting his facts in the mold of his hypothesis. It maybe laid down as a general rule, though subject to considerable qualifications and exceptions, that history begins in novel and ends in essay. Of the romantic historians, Herodotus is the earliest and the best. There are passages in Herodotus nearly as long as acts of Shakespeare, in which everything is told dramatically, and in which the narrative serves only the purpose of stage-directions. It is possible, no doubt, that the substance of some real conversations may have been reported to the historian.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Greater Republic: A New History of the United States, Embracing the Growth and Achievements of Our Country From the Earliest Days of Discovery to the Present Eventful Year The late war with Spain marks a momentous epoch in the progress of our country, whose history, stretching through the centuries of discovery, explora tion, settlement, the struggle for independence, foreign and domestic war, lofty achievement in all departments of knowledge and progress, is the most interest ing in human annals. It is a record full of instruction and incitement to endeavor, which must fill every American with pride in his birthright, and with gratitude to Him who holds the earth and the sea in the hollow of His hand. The following pages contain a complete, accurate, and graphic history of our country from the first visit of the Northmen, a thousand years ago, to the open ing of its new destiny, through the late struggle, resulting in the freeing of Cuba, the wresting of the Philippines, Porto Rico, and the Ladrones from the tyranny of the most cruel of modern nations, and the addition of Hawaii to our domain. The Greater United States, at one bound, assumes its place in the van of nations, and becomes the foremost agent in civilizing and christianizing the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our First Hundred Years: The Life of the Republic of the United States of America, Illustrated in Its Four Great Periods: Colonization, Consolidation, Development, Achievement The hlmming of the great striped-leaved Agave, or Century-plant, at Messrs. Frost Co.'s, Rochester, N. Y., is quite a noteworthy event in the history of American horticulture. This plant is supposed to be about eighty years old, having been purchased of Prince C0, Flushing, L. I., in 1809. It was then about ten years old, and has escaped all the mishaps that usually fall to the lot of such tender plants until reaching a sufficient size and age to bloom. Quite a number of the common Century-plant (agave Americana) have bloomed in the Northern States within the past half century, but this, we believe, is the first instance where the striped-leaved variety has done so consequently, it is quite a novelty. The ower stem made its appearance early last spring, and has continued to grow until it reached its pre sent height, about eighteen feet. The owers are now rapidly opening, and the plant has the appearance of an immense chandelier. An idea of the general appearance of the plant may be had from the left-hand figure in the accompanying engraving. The centre figure shows the plant on a larger scale, with a small portion of the stem, with two clusters of the owers. On the right, four of the owers and ower-buds are shown about one-half their natural size. In two, the stamens and pistil have not appeared, and in the centre figure they are fully developed, while in the fourth they are decaying. The Agaves are riot what we would call beautiful plants; for they are too coarse and rugged in appearance, but there is a stateliness about them, especially when in bloom, that commands our admiration. Even the name of the genus (agave) is derived from a Greek word, which signifies something wonder ful or admirable - Hearth and Home, September 4, 1869.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Republic: A Descriptive, Statistical, and Historical View of the States and Territories of the American Union Again, take the length of rivers as a measurement of size. A steamboat can go ninety miles up the Thames, two hundred miles up the Seine; five hundred and fifty miles up the Rhine. In America, the Thames would be a creek, the Seine a brook, the Rhine a local stream, soon lost in a mightier flood. The Mississippi is five times longer than the Rhine; the Missouri is three times longer than the Danube; the Columbia is four times longer than the Scheldt. From the sea to Fort Snelling, the Missouri is plowed by steamers a distance of two thousand one hundred and thirty-one miles; yet she is but the second river in the United States.
