It Is Certain That Since The Time Of Homer The Deeds And Circumstances Of War Have Not Been Felicitously Sung. If Any Ideas Have Been The Subject Of The Strife, They Seldom Appear To Advantage In the Poems Which Chronicle It, Or In the Verses Devoted to The Praise Of Heroes. Remove The "Iliad," The "Nibelungenlied," Some English, Spanish, And Northern Ballads, Two Or Three Old-Bohemian, The War-Songs Composed by Ziska, And One Or Two Romaic, From The Field Of Investigation, And One Is Astonished at The Scanty Gleaning of Battle-Poetry, Camp-Songs, And Rhymes That Have Been Scattered in the Wake Of Great Campaigns, And Many Of The Above-Mentioned are More Historical Or Mythological Than Descriptive Of War.

The First Blood That Was Shed In Our Revolutionary Struggle, Was In Boston, In March, 1770. The Next At Lexington, In June, 1775. The Interval Was Filled With Acts Of Coercion And Oppression On The One Side And With Complaints And Remonstrances On The Other. But The Thought Of Independence Was Entertained By Very Few Of Our People, Even For Some Time After The Affair At Lexington. Loyalty To The Mother Country Was Professed Even By Those Most Clamorous In Their Complaints, And Sincerely So, Too. The Great Majority Thought That Redress Of Grievances Could Be Obtained Without Severance From Great Britain. [mehr]

It Is Obviously Unnecessary To Repeat So Much Of The Previous Description As Applies To The General External And Internal Appearance Of The New Palace Of Westminster. It Only Remains To Speak Of The Hall Devoted To The Sessions Of The House Of Lords. And Certainly It Is An Apartment Deserving A More Extended Notice Than Our Limits Will Allow. As The Finest Specimen Of Gothic Civil Architecture In The World, Perfect In Its Proportions, Beautiful And Appropriate In Its Decorations, The Frescoes Perpetuating Some Of The Most Striking Scenes In English History, [mehr]

The American Character Is Now Generally Acknowledged to Be The Most Cosmopolitan Of Modern Times; And A Native Of This Country, All Things Being equal, Is Likely To Form A Less Prescriptive Idea Of Other Nations Than The Inhabitants Of Countries Whose Neighborhood And History Unite To Bequeathe And Perpetuate Certain Fixed notions. Before The Frequent Intercourse Now Existing between Europe And The United states, We Derived our Impressions Of The French People, As Well As Of Italian Skies, From English Literature. The Probability Was That Our Earliest Association With The Gallic Race Partook Largely Of The Ridiculous. All The Extravagant Anecdotes Of Morbid Self-Love, Miserly Epicurism, Strained courtesy, And Frivolous Absurdity Current Used to Boast A Frenchman As Their Hero. It Was So In novels, Plays, And After-Dinner Stories. Our First Personal Acquaintance Often Confirmed this Prejudice; For The Chance Was That The One Specimen Of The Grand Nation Familiar To Our Childhood Proved a Poor _Émigré_ Who Gained a Precarious Livelihood As A Dancing-Master, Cook, Teacher, Or Barber, Who Was Profuse Of Smiles, Shrugs, Bows, And Compliments, Prided himself On _La Belle France_, Played the Fiddle, And Took Snuff. A More Dignified view Succeeded, When We Read "Télémaque," So Long An Initiatory Text-Book In The Study Of The Language, Blended as Its Crystal Style Was In our Imaginations With The Pure And Noble Character Of Fénelon.
