Slender though the respect may be with which we regard our rotatory assemblymen and our partisan judges, still are they noteworthy personages. The parts are more important than the actors, and centuries hence it will be to our statutes and reports that the curious historian will resort to find out what manner Of men were the restless and energetic Yankees who could found a gigantic empire, but could hardly govern them selves. Lawgiver and law-dispenser, - save the minister of God, what human being can have interests so vital confided to him, or can exercise SO momentous an influence over his fellow-men? Cyrus and Alexander, Tamerlane and Genghis Khan, their names alone remain, and the world is as though they had never been; but the laws of Confucius and Menou.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 8 Sir William Jones, in a letter to Lord Althorpe, written after one of those excursions to France, in which his inquisitive mind, grasping every species of intellectual attainment, combined the severer studies of political science and law with the luxury of oriental literature, states that he had, among his various pursuits, attended some causes at the Palais, and brought home with him the works of a most learned lawyer, whose name and merit he should have the honour of making known to his countrymen. This writer was Pothier, whom he afterwards noticed and imitated in his beautiful essay on the Law of Bailments, and of whose treatises on the different species of contracts he speaks in the following enthusiastic manner: 'I seize with pleasure an opportunity of recommending those treatises to the English lawyer, exhorting him to read them again and again; for if his great master, Littleton, has given him, as it must be presumed, a taste for luminous method, apposite examples, and a clear manly style, in which nothing is redundant, nothing deficient, he will surely be delighted with works in which all those advantages are combined, and the greatest portion of which is law at Westminster as well as at Orleans.

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.

Download or read book The North American Review Vol 144 Classic Reprint written by Allen Thorndike Rice and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 144 The next generation will find it hard to believe that of the four men living at the outbreak of the war who had occupied the presidential chair not one tendered his support to the National cause, or offered sympathy or patriotic counsel to his overburdened successor at the head of the Government. It will be deemed almost incredible that during the whole four years of that terrible struggle not one of these men, all of whom were citizens of Northern States, made any public utterance intended to strengthen the Union cause or indeed any utterance at all upon the subject, except in one case, when compelled by public clamor to make a lame excuse for his own apathy. Already it is hard to realize that when the conflict drew to its close one of these men refused to decorate his house in honor of our final tri-victory, or display the emblems of mourning on the death of the great leader whose marvelous tact and unfailing steadfastness had brought us through those years of unmatched peril. Still more difficult will it be for posterity to understand that our ex-Presidents were simply types of a very large element of our people. These very naturally desired the war, its causes and overshadowing glories to be forgotten just as soon as possible. They made haste, therefore, to turn the public attention into other channels and to clamor for oblivion in regard to the past. There was another and most peculiar influence tending in this direction. The political organization then having control of the country had in it two elements which looked with especial disfavor on the ascendency within itself of those whose fame rested on military renown. One of these was what was known as the "Abolition Element." These men regarded themselves as, in a sense, the possessors of an exclusive proprietary interest in the Republican party of that day, and thought that the laurels of its first administration, both civic and military, ought to relate back to them as the ultimate cause, rather than rest upon the heads of the immediate agents. Such men as Chase, Sumner, Seward, Greeley, and a host of lesser lights, felt deeply aggrieved at being overshadowed by men like Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, and Stanton, and other military leaders whom they regarded, if not us trespassers on their demesne, at least as men who had merely adopted their ideas and reaped advantage from their labors.

Download or read book The North American Review Vol 89 written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 89: July, 1859 Mr. Harford has endeavored to supply the existing want, by giving us a picture of the great artist in the midst of his asso ciates, influenced by the spirit of his age and its leading men, and reacting upon them. He is the first biographer who has recognized the value of the poems as affording a key to Michel Angelo's character, and as indicating the growth of his intel lectual and religious life. We are grateful to him for this attempt, and for the amount of valuable information which he has collected; yet we think he has rather smoothed the way towards the preparation of a good biography than written one. His story is encumbered with too many episodes, which break the thread of the narrative, and destroy the unity of im pression. His readers might be supposed to be already sufh ciently familiar with the leading facts in the lives of Raphael, Perugino, and Leonardo da Vinci. The connection of Michel Angelo with Savonarola seems too slight to justify the large Space which he occupies in the book, although the notice of him is full of interest. With better judgment the author has assigned a distinct place to the life and writings Of the distin guished Vittoria Colonna, whose relation to Michel Angelo required more than a brief notice. A graver defect in the book is the strong prominence given by the author to his own theological views, and his effort to force the expressions of his hero into more meaning than they naturally bear. Slight in accuracies of translation and defects of style are less important. On the whole, we shall find it a good guide to the study of Michel Angelo's life and writings, although we shall not deem it prudent to ignore other authorities in connection with it.
