Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 12. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Is the, Eclectic history of the United States, written by Miss Thalheimer and published by Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co., Cincinnati, a fit book to be used in our schools? (search)
Is the, Eclectic history of the United States, written by Miss Thalheimer and published by Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co., Cincinnati, a fit book to be used in our schools? A Review by J. Watm. Jones. Paper no. I. We propose to confine ourselves for the present to that part of this so-called History which treats of the origin, progress, and results of the late War between the States. At some future day we may take occasion to point out some of its sins of omission and commission in its account of the Colonial, Revolutionary, and civil history of the country. We will first give a few illustrations of the tone and spirit of the book, which its friends claim to be preeminently fair, non-partisan, and non-sectional. 1. Let any one turn to the account given (pp. 265-266) of the Kansas troubles and he will find that it is entirely one sided and partisan-telling of outrages committed by the pro-slavery party, aided by Missourians, and saying not one word about the Emigrant Aid So

Is the Eclectic history of the United States, written by Miss Thalheimer, and published by Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co., Cincinnatti, a fit book to be used in our schools? A Review by J. Wm. Jones. Paper no. 2. We were noticing in our last the tone and general spirit of this book, and will now add several examples to those then given: II. Designating the Northern States (page 308) as the loyal States—stating (page 309) that more than two-thirds of the States ratified the amendment of the Constitution abolishing slavery, and on page 324 that all of the States adopted the Fourteenth Amendment, annulled their ordinances of secession, and repudiated the Confederate war-debts without giving the slightest intimation that the Southern States acted in this matter as much under duress as the traveller who yields to the highwayman's demand, your money or your life, the statement (page 313) that Mr. Lincoln, in his second inaugural address, fairly stated the positions of the two parties

Your friend and hle St Josiah Quincy.Harvard College Papers [Ms.], 2d ser. XI. 187. Cambridge. 30 Sep. 1842. Longfellow spent his summer at the water-cure in Marienberg, with some diverging trips, as those to Paris, Antwerp, and Bruges. In Paris he took a letter to Jules Janin, now pretty well forgotten, but then the foremost critic in Paris, who disliked the society of literary men, saying that he never saw them and never wished to see them; and who had quarrelled personally with all the French authors, except Lamartine, whom he pronounced as good as an angel. In Bruges the young traveller took delight in the belfry, and lived to transmit some of its charms to others. At Antwerp he had the glories of the c

e number seemed infinite. Amsterdam was the centre of the commerce of Europe. The sea not only bathed its walls, but flowed through its streets; and its merchantmen lay so crowded together, that the looker — on from the ramparts could not see through the thick forests of masts and yards. War for liberty became unexpectedly a well-spring of opulence; Holland plundered the commerce of Spain by its maritime force, and supplanted its rivals in the gainful traffic with the Indies. Lisbon and Antwerp were despoiled; Amsterdam, the depot J. R. Brodhead's History of N. Y. 20. of the merchandise of Europe and of the East, was become beyond dispute the first commercial city of the world; the Tyre of modern times; the Venice of Chap.

s which aspired to the dominion of the seas. Great Britain, moreover, remained in possession of Gibraltar, her strongest fortress, the key to the Mediterranean. By insisting on the cession of the Spanish Netherlands to Austria, England lost its only hold on Spain; and by taking Gibraltar, it made Spain its implacable enemy. Again: by the peace of Utrecht, Belgium was compelled to forego the advantages with which she had been endowed by the God of nature; to gratify commercial jealousy, Antwerp was denied the use of the deep waters that flowed by her walls; and afterwards the Austrian efforts at trade with the East Indies were suffocated in their infancy. This policy was an open violation of international justice,—a fraud upon humanity,—a restriction, by covenant, of national industry and prosperity. It was a pledge that Belgium would look beyond treaties, and grow familiar with natural rights; and it was possible that, even in the line of Austrian monarchs, a wise ruler might o

a, Captain Munroe, and in a short time we all stood without effects on a friendly deck. Thence they proceeded to Hong Kong. For the rescue Captain Munroe received from President Fillmore a gold chronometer. We have had an interesting interview with Captain Hinckley, who though well nigh a nonagenarian, is still actively engaged in the insurance business in Boston, and who followed the seas for several years after the loss of the Living Age. His voyages were to St. John, N. B.; London; Antwerp; Gibraltar; Malaga; and to Batavia, Java, the latter with a cargo of ice for Frederick Tudor. It is somewhat remarkable that these were also made in four Medford-built vessels, the Cygnet, Horsburgh, Vancouver, and /osiah Quincy. The N. B. Palmer, in which he returned after the wreck of the Living Age was not here built. Captain Hinckley modestly disclaims the title, and says it was hard to say no to the offer of the ship owners of a captain's position, pay and privilege, having served

Foreign Goods for the South. --On the 4th of last month the Am. bark Henry left Antwerp for Savannah, Ga., with a cargo of various productions intended for exhibition at the Georgia State Fair. This vessel, the Precurseur says, is the first of a line destined to carry on direct commercial intercourse between the Southern United States and Europe, and her departure on that account attracted considerable attention. Among the articles are products not only of Belgium, but of several German provinces. The cargo is in charge of two pupils of the High School of Commerce of Antwerp.
