Book Description
Excerpt from The North American Review, 1902, Vol. 174 The man who is truly strong examines with eager care the praise and advantages that his actions have won for him, and silently rejects whatever exceeds a certain line that he has traced in his consciousness. And the stronger he is, the more nearly will this line approach the one that has already been drawn by the secret truth that lies at the bottom of all things. An act of injustice is almost always a confession of weakness, and there need be but very few such confessions to reveal to the enemy the most vulnerable spot of the soul. To commit an unjust deed that we may gain some small measure of glory, or that we may save the little we have, is to confess to ourselves that we do not merit what we desire or what we possess, and that the part we have sought to play is beyo'nd our powers of loyal fulfilment. To this part, however, we none the less cling most anxiously, and thus do errors, phantoms and illusions make their entrance into our lives.

Book Description
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 135 The death of the greatest of American men of letters - a man who was at once an elemental thinker and an elemental power - immediately drew forth such a series of tributes to his genius and character, from such a wide variety of thoughtful minds, that it is difficult at this date to say anything of him which has not been said before. But perhaps, in surveying him as a poet, some additional reasons may be given in proof that he was original in the sense in which the word is applied to the recognized masters of song. In estimating the relative worth and rank of a poet, we are hound to consider not merely his possession of "the vision and the faculty divine," but the penetration and extent of his vision and the originality of his faculty. Did his spiritual insight go deeper than that of other poets of his age and generation? Did he advance beyond the recognized frontier of the ideal world in his time, and add a new province to it? Were his verses imitations or revelations? Did his poetic faculty work on old materials, adding only an individual flavor to new combinations of the old, or did he create or spiritually discern new materials for poetic treatment? In the case of Emerson, these questions can be answered only by a survey of what had been done by the great poets of the century, when (to use General Sheridan's significant phrase) he "took the affair in hand."

Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 279: February, 1880 Presidential office after their second term, has become, by universal concur rence, a part of our republican system of government, and that any departure from this time-honored custom would be unwise, unpatriotic, and fraught with peril to our free institutions. The rules of the House were suspended, and the resolution passed on the very day of its introduction. No less than two hun dred and thirty-three votes were recorded in its favor. Only eigh teen members voted against it. That reiterated vociferation accomplished the purpose for which it was designed. It defeated the renomination of General Grant in 1876.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 28 We remember Mr Hunt as the author of the Feast of the Poets, a gay and pleasing little poem; of Foliage, which faded with considerably more expedition, than if it had been natural; and of Rimini, a work not deficient in talent, but written expressly to recommend a remarkable dialect, which he chose to denominate the poetical language, because, as it appeared, it was such as never had been heard of in the intercourse of men. In the Dedication of the last of these works to Lord Byron, the author spoke much of his fellow-dignity, a phrase which we do not profess to comprehend, but which seems to have given umbrage to his lordship; whose dissatisfaction was expressed in a manner, which evidently had its influence in changing this fellow-dignity into indignation. Nothing we had known of Mr Hunt inspired us with any enthusiastic desire to meet him again, though we could not have expected from his good-natured absurdity, a work like the one before us.
