Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, 1896, Vol. 163 What the great advocate then so unhesitatingly sug gested, many a thoughtful American since then has at least sus pected - that our great proclamation, as a piece of political literature, cannot stand the test of modern analysis; that it belongs to the immense class of over-praised productions; that it is, in fact, a stately patchwork of sweeping propositions of somewhat doubtful validity that it has long imposed upon man kind by the well-known effectiveness of verbal glitter and sound that, at the best, it is an example of orid political declamation belonging to the sophomoric period of our national life, a period which, as we atter ourselves, we have now outgrown. Nevertheless, it is to be noted that whatever authority the Declaration of Independence has acquired in the world, has been due to no lack of criticism, either at the time of its first appear ance, or since then; a fact which seems to tell in favor of its es sential worth and strength. From the date of its original publica tion down to the present moment, it has been attacked again and again, either in anger, or in contempt, by friends as well as by enemies of the American Revolution, by liberals in politics as well as by conservatives. It has been censured for its substance, it has been censured for its form, for its misstatements of fact, for its fallacies in reasoning, for its audacious novelties and para doxes, for its total lack of all novelty, for its repetition of old and threadbare statements, even for its downright plagiarisms; finally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 103 The religious belief of the North American Indians seems at a first view anomalous and contradictory. It certainly is so, if we adopt the popular impression. Romance, Poetry, and Rhetoric point, on the one hand, to the august conception of a one all-ruling deity, a Great Spirit, omniscient and omnipresent, and we are told to admire the untutored intellect which could conceive a thought too vast for Socrates and Plato. On the other hand, we find a chaos of degrading, ridiculous, and incoherent superstitions. A closer examination will show that the contradiction is more apparent than real. We will begin with the lowest forms of Indian belief, and thence trace it upward to the highest conceptions which the unassisted mind of the savage attained. To the Indian, the material world is sentient and intelligent. Birds, beasts, and reptiles have ears for human prayers, and are endowed with influence on human destiny. A mysterious and inexplicable power resides in inanimate things. They, too, can listen to the voice of man, and influence his life for evil or for good. Lakes, rivers, and waterfalls are sometimes the dwelling-place of spirits, but more frequently they are themselves living beings, to be propitiated by prayers and offerings.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 31 Mr. Jefferson, in his letter on the kings of Europe, charges Joseph II. of Austria with insanity. It may be worth the while to give a little time to the consideration of the character of a ruler, about whom opinions have been so much divided. The materials are abundant, and now that the age of revolutions is past, history may be just to the imperial reformer. The prince, for whom Mozart composed music, Kaunitz negotiated, and Laudon won victories, occupies a prominent station among the sovereigns of Austria. The contrast between monarchies and democratic states is in nothing more striking, than in the degrees and amount of political abilities, which they respectively call into action. Men may dispute, if they will, whether liberty be the fostering parent of the arts, and may continue to raise questions respecting the influence of forms of government on letters; but the turbulent contests, the unsparing and unqualified competition, allowed in popular states, quicken natural talents and furnish every facility and every inducement for their display. At courts the race is not necessarily to the swift; and men are naturally turned aside from the career of the public service, when no scope is furnished them for the full exercise of natural powers and the manly struggle for honors.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 70 Literary history is the least familiar kind of historical writing. It is, in some respects, the most difficult, requiring, and certainly, far the most laborious study. The facts for civil history we gather from personal experience, or from the examination of a comparatively few authors, whose statements the historian transfers, with such modification and commentary as he pleases, to his own pages. But in literary history, the books are the facts, and pretty substantial ones in many cases, which are not to be mastered at a glance, or on the report of another. It is a tedious process to read through a library in order to decide that the greater part is probably not worth reading at all. Literary history must come late in the intellectual development of a nation. It is the history of books, and there can be no history of books till books are written. It presupposes, moreover, a critical knowledge, - an acquaintance with the principles of taste, which can come only from a wide study and comparison of models. It is, therefore, necessarily the product of an advanced state of civilization and mental culture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 147 Concord School of Philosophy by one of the keen newspaper men who have made American wit a modern discovery. The Concord students spent their time, he said. In trying to scrute the inscrutable and poss the impossible. The controversy in which Colonel Ingersoll has been the defendant is, I venture to say, not upon his part alone, an attempt to poss the impossible. Tactically considered, the discussion has to a marked extent fol lowed that simple military expedient known as firing wild. It strikes me that the chief reason for this is one for which no indi vidual party to the encounter can be held responsible least of all, the distinguished statesman whose scholarship, dignity, and repose have given value to the conflict if they have not won the day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 67 Lord Aberdeenbitrther debatelin the Housetof. Lords, on the proposal of a vote of thanks tolord ashburton for his services in these negotiations, said, It happens but too often that we not only Show little gratitude to those who have extricated us from difficulties and dangers, but we for get the very existence Of the apprehensions from which we have been freed. Both parts of this remark have been realized here in the case of mr..webster; and one reason for this, apart from the general tendency of mankind to for get such services, has been a political one. During all the time that Mr. Webster was engaged in these negotiations, he remained in Office against the wishes of a vast majority of his O'wn' political party, who had - whether rightfully or wrong fully it is no business of ours to inquire - a standing and bitter quarrel with Mr. Tyler, then President of the United States. Whether his party were right in wishing the Secretary to surrender the care of our foreign affairs before he had completed the great work of peace, or whether he was right in retaining it, we do not now propose to consider. We are afraid that it must be allowed there has always been a reluctance on the part of the Whigs to acknowledge that any good has come out of the Nazareth of Mr. Tyler's administration and for this reason, mainly, that the attention of the country has not, by that party, been directly called to the crowning' glory of that administration, the results accom plished by Mr. Webster as Secretary of State. Of course, the attention of the'people would not be called to his services by his political opponents. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
