Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old South Work The Old South Leaﬂets gradually began to attract the atten tion of teachers of history outside of Boston; and ten years ago the publication of a general series was begun, to meet the needs of schools and colleges and literary societies and classes. Every teacher of history from Maine to California now knows, we think, of the Old South Leaﬂets. They are sold at a price just covering the cost, five cents-a copy, or four dollars for a hundred copies, the aim being to bring them within easy reach of everybody, especially of schools and of those wishing to circulate them in connection with lectures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old South Historical Work The series of monographs on American Statesmen, now in progress of publi cation, is an undertaking that is likely to have no slight effect upon the popular comprehension of the inheritance and duties of the American citizen. The educational inﬂuence of such books is, in fact, not to be easily over-estimated. Nothing can be truer than the maxim that the genesis and development of a nation are best studied in the lives of its great men, and in the compact and readable volumes which Mr. Morse has edited, the history of whole epochs is skilfully condensed. To young men, especially, they will form a political library of the utmost value. Boston Traveller. Their value can hardly be exaggerated when we remember that all the evils which threaten our government at the present time may be averted by a careful study of the past. As studies of civics in a concrete and interesting form, they deserve the notice of every teacher. The Academy (syracuse). Apart from the exceeding interest which attaches to the story of the lives of these remarkable men, the series is of the highest order of excellence from a literary point of view. Northwestern Journal Of Education. We are glad to repeat our appreciation of the public service which is done by the issuance of this series of political biographies. Boston Advertiser. These monographs are invaluable to the student of American history. New York Examiner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old South: A Monograph I was born in and of the Old South. At six teen, after a year under General Lee, I received my parole at Appomattox, and went home to look upon the ruin of the Old South. Whatever is good or evil in me I owe chieﬂy to that Old South. Habit, motive, ideal, ambition, passion and prejudice, love and hatred, were formed in it and by it. My life work as a man has been wrought under what is called the New South, but inspiration and aspiration to it came out of the Old South. The spell it cast upon my boyhood is strong upon me after more than a generation has gone. It is not the Spell of enchantment. It has not blinded me to bad or good qualities, and after the lapse of a half century and de spite the tenderness for it that grows with the passing years, I think I can see and judge the Old South and give account of it more impartially than one who received it at second-hand.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old South Leaflets, 1886 The Old South Lectures for Young People were instituted in the sum mer of 1883, as a means of promoting a more serious and intelligent atten tion to historical studies, especially studies in American history, among the young people of Boston. The success of the lectures has been so great as to warrant the hope that such courses may be permanently sustained in Boston and established with equal success in other cities of the country. The course of lectures for 1883, which was intended to be strictly upon subjects in early Massachusetts History, but was by certain necessities somewhat modified, was as follows Governor Bradford and Governor Winthrop, by edwin D. Mead. Plymouth, by Mrs. A. M, diaz. Concord, by fr'ank B. Sanborn. The Town Meeting, by prof. James K. Hosmer. Franklin, the Boston Boy, by george M. Towle. How to Study American History, by prof. G. Stanley hall. The Year 1777, by john fiske. History in the Boston Streets, by edward everett hale. The Leaﬂets prepared in connection with these lectures consisted of (1) Cotton Mather's account of Governor Bradford, from the Magnalia (2) the account of the arrival of the Pilgrims at Cape Cod, from Bradford's Journal; (3) an extract from Emerson's Concord Address in 1835; (4) extracts from Emerson, Samuel Adams, De Tocqueville and others, upon the Town Meeting; (5) a portion of Franklin's Autobiography; (6) Carlyle on the Study of History; (7) an extract from Charles Sumner's oration upon Lafayette, etc.; (8) Emerson's poem, Boston.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lyddy: A Tale of the Old South Officers and men that for four years struggled to tear down the Stars and Stripes, are to-day proudly planting Old Glory over a land oppressed by cruelty. In the words of Commodore Dewey, "There is no South, no North, but one united country." Old lines of differences are for ever obliterated. Descendants of Lee and Grant shouldered arms, and have been standing side by side, doing battle, at the will of the American Government. And in this cause of humanity men that were once bound by the yoke of servitude are taking an active part. Southern negroes have now enjoyed the blessings of freedom for more than thirty years, yet their faithfulness and devotion remain fresh in the minds of former owners; even as the harrowing scenes depicted by Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe continue to attract throngs of men, women, and children to theatres and halls.

A few days sufficed to convince him that to chronicle his observa tions with photographic fidelity, and to report them, with his conclusions therefrom, to his countrymen at large, might prove to be a fitting close to the labors of a long life which has been devoted chicﬂy to the investigation of so'cial and politico-economic questions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bond and Free: A Tale of the South Upon relating incidents which occurred under the observation of the writer, the suggestion has been frequently made to her that they should be recorded in a book, and placed within the reach of those who are interested in studying the habits of the Southern people before the late war. This volume is presented to the public in compliance with that request, since slavery is now so far removed from us by time that it has become historical. The contingencies of "the peculiar institution" invaded the domestic circle, made children masters and mistresses from infancy, causing them to be reared rulers over their sable playmates, and impressed on their unfolding minds ideas of superiority in. birth, which, as they advanced to manhood or womanhood, qualified them to exercise authority to a degree inconceivable by those raised with different surroundings. That miscegenation was of frequent occurrence is not to be denied; but mulatto children, being held by their darker mothers, were identified with the maternal race; yet there were instances where amalgamation was extended to successive generations, and State laws were enacted liberating those who possessed a certain degree of consanguinity with the Caucasian race. In the slave markets, among which that of New Orleans was pre-eminent, quadroon girls, possessing superior personal attractions, commanded a high price; and in exceptional instances, where they were received into families, and enjoyed advantages of mental and moral education, they became women of intelligence and sterling worth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sam Williams: A Tale of the Old South Then there were the slaves. Grafting the half-acquired Eng lish on the peculiarities of their native tongues, and following the natural bent of their vocal organs, they had in the genera tions of slavery developed a dialect peculiarly their own. This dialect is all the more interesting because it is passing away. Just as the old-time darkey is soon to become extinct, so his speech will shortly be heard no more. And this is true of all the phases of society which existed in the South before the war. The upheaval has been so complete that the old life is now a memory, and will soon belong to tradition. To aid in rescuing this life from oblivion the writer hopes is not the chief merit of this volume. The rendering of the dialects, both of the blacks and of the po' white trash, as well as the representa tion of the manners and thoughts of the generation gone, or rapidly passing, he hopes will be accorded the charm of useful ness. As a Southerner to the manner born, and having lived among the characters represented, he claims the right to speak. But beyond this he hopes the book, on account of its contents, will be found worthy of perusal. W. S. H. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
