Excerpt: ...build up a faith which should command their actions? Certainly not; they valued gold and silver only for their beauty, not for intrinsic worth. The national character had adapted itself to local circumstances, not been formed by them. As it is thus evident that the Northern and Southern aborigines were descendants of a widely difierent stock, the question is, on what nation of Asia might the latter, with some degree of credibility, make out a case of afliliation? Am I too fanciful in discovering numerous aflinities between the characteristics, moral and personal, of this race and the Chinese, weakened to their present degree of faintness by time and the distance of their transit, which might have taken place after some rebellion, when a leader and his party were expatriated. The nations have at least these features in common--configuration of countenance, worship of the sun, a love of congregating in cities, and an ingenuity in various arts arising from their social relations. Some of the principal Indian antiquities--with the general character of which most are acquainted--are to be found at Marietta, where a square area of forty acres is enclosed by a firm wall of peculiarly cemented earth, ten feet high, which has three openings at equal distances on each side. Similar constructions are to be seen on the banks of the Muskingum, where the ramparts are upwards of eighteen feet in height, and on a hill near the Tioga River, where the defences are surrounded by an entrenchment and various pits, which had evidently been dug and covered over to receive assailants--all attesting ingenuity and the existence of system---besides the sculpture of human and animal heads, helmets, spears, etc., on rocks in various parts of the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Retrospections of America, 1797-1811 On his retirement from the stage and return to England, Bernard began the preparation of his biography; and about a year before his death he completed the work, but, as his son tells us, in too voluminous a state for publication. His son was the late W. Bayle Bernard, who was born in Boston, Mass, in 1808, and died in Lon don, England, in 1875. He began life as an actor, but soon turned critic and dramatist, and was the author of the Nervous Man, the Dumb Belle, and His Lost Legs. For Hackett he wrote the earliest drama of Rip Van Winkle, and for Yankee Hill, Silsbee, and other American character actors, he wrote many other plays which entitle him to be considered one of the inventors of the Stage Yankee. After John Bernard's death, in 1828, Bayle Bernard selected and condensed from his father's autobiography the interesting Retrospections of the Stage, by the Late John Bernard, Manager of the American Theatres, and formerly Secretary of the Beefsteak Club. 2 vols. Lon don, Henry Colburn and Richard Bentley, This work met with great and instant success, and is still high ly prized by all collectors of theatrical literature on both sides of the Atlantic. It was republished by Carter 85 Hendee, in Boston, in 1832, but both editions have been long out of print.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1711, the imperious Virginia patriarch William Byrd II spitefully refused his wife Lucy's plea for a book; a century later, Lady Jean Skipwith placed an order that sent the Virginia bookseller Joseph Swan scurrying to please. These vignettes bracket a century of change in white southern women's lives. Claiming the Pen offers the first intellectual history of early southern women. It situates their reading and writing within the literary culture of the wider Anglo-Atlantic world, thus far understood to be a masculine province, even as they inhabited the limited, provincial social circles of the plantation South.Catherine Kerrison uncovers a new realm of female education in which conduct-of-life advice—both the dry pedantry of sermons and the risqué plots of novels—formed the core reading program. Women, she finds, learned to think and write by reading prescriptive literature, not Greek and Latin classics, in impromptu home classrooms, rather than colleges and universities, and from kin and friends, rather than schoolmates and professors. Kerrison also reveals that southern women, in their willingness to "take up the pen" and so claim new rights, seized upon their racial superiority to offset their gender inferiority. In depriving slaves of education, southern women claimed literacy as a privilege of their whiteness, and perpetuated and strengthened the repressive institutions of slavery.

Download or read book The American Experiment and the Idea of Democracy in British Culture 1776 1914 written by Ruth Livesey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In nineteenth-century Britain, the effects of democracy in America were seen to spread from Congress all the way down to the personal habits of its citizens. Bringing together political theorists, historians, and literary scholars, this volume explores the idea of American democracy in nineteenth-century Britain. The essays span the period from Independence to the First World War and trace an intellectual history of Anglo-American relations during that period. Leading scholars trace the hopes and fears inspired by the American model of democracy in the works of commentators, including Thomas Paine, Mary Wollstonecraft, Alexis de Tocqueville, Charles Dickens, John Stuart Mill, Richard Cobden, Charles Dilke, Matthew Arnold, Henry James and W. T. Stead. By examining the context of debates about American democracy and notions of ’culture’, citizenship, and race, the collection sheds fresh light on well-documented moments of British political history, such as the Reform Acts, the Abolition of Slavery Act, and the Anti-Corn Law agitation. The volume also explores the ways in which British Liberalism was shaped by the American example and draws attention to the importance of print culture in furthering radical political dialogue between the two nations. As the comprehensive introduction makes clear, this collection makes an important contribution to transatlantic studies and our growing sense of a nineteenth-century modernity shaped by an Atlantic exchange. It is an essential reference point for all interested in the history of the idea of democracy, its political evolution, and its perceived cultural consequences.
