Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 84: July December, 1858 It was to the other element, shown in idle luxury and the pride of wealth, that Spain, at a time when she seemed striding onward to European dominion, owed her fall. With thankfulness we feel that from neither of these sources of ruin has the faintest cloud yet darkened the lustre of British prosperity. Wherever our sword has been drawn, it has been that of the protector and the liberator, not of the oppressor and enslaver - Pacisque imponere morem, Parcere subjectis et debellaresuperbos. To no chapters in the proud history of our battles can we point with more confidence for the vindication of this truth, than to those two last Indian wars, which, to a heedless observer, judging of them by analogy with the acts of other powers, might be deemed to illustrate the spirit of aggression. What was the chief result of the campaign on the Sutlej, but the salvation of the submissive people of Hindostan from the tyrannous rule of a savage soldiery? Seventy thousand strong, with arms and money, and the powerful discipline which old Runjeet Singh had communicated to them, they thought they might take India and keep it to themselves. The bloody reign of anarchy and extirpation which such an oligarchy would have held had they been successful, can be conceived only from the scenes which then took place at Lahore, and those which befell at Delhi and Cawnpore the other day. But for that protracted list of bloody battles, of which Ferozeshah, Aliwal, Sobraon, and Chillianwallah are still familiar to us, the project would have succeeded. And in the last and most desperate of our trials, who were the enemies? Not the docile people of the land - for they remained true even during the temporary paralysis of the strong protecting hand but a pampered soldiery, trained to mimic our own supreme warlike tactics, and idly dreaming that the Empire which they thought the held for us, they might take an hold for themselves. No: from the we are hereafter to stand or to fall, we must for ever be an example to the world, as the first nation that has wielded its power, not in selfishness or cruelty, but in beneficence. Nor have our late terrible trials passed away without assuring us that we are free from all symptoms of moral decay. When the war with Russia began, it was felt that we were going forth against along-cultivated warlike power - "a man of war from his youth;" and we assured ourselves with justice that the resources accumulated by a long career of peaceful progress would give the material elements of warlike strength to us much more abundantly than the development of purely military power could impart them to our enemy. The wealth accumulated by our agriculture, manufactures, and commerce, would afford inexhaustible pecuniary resources; our shipping would supply a navy or transport our troops; the mechanical skill, cultivated for peaceful purposes, would instantly be turned to the creation of destructive engines.

All this was exultingly felt; but sometimes a scarce audible voice whispered, What would all avail if the repose of a long peace had lost to us our ancient hardihood and daring - the ardour that ever panted to be forward - the cool courage never fluttered into panic, and the stubborn endurance that seemed to bring up renewed strength and energy to the last telling charge, when the desperate labours of the day had broken the strength and spirit of all besides, allies or foes? No, they were not gone; it was seen at once, with a throb of pride, when the guns fired and the bells rang for Alma, that the ancient spirit was not dead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 87: January-June, 1860 To be a duke is not, in my humble opinion, much more desirable. Dukes are subjected to all the inconven iences of high dignity, without that fine sensation of being irresponsible which is the sole privilege of majesty. In the olden time, very few dukes died peaceably in their beds. They either perished in foreign battle, or in civil conflict, or mounted the scaf fold te lay their heads upon the block, as the penalty of their rebel lion. There are no rebellions now; and a considerable time has elapsed since any of ducal rank occupied apartments in the Tower. But for all that, a duke can hardly be said to have more freedom than a prisoner on parole. Wherever he goes he is a marked man, at whom the many may stars with impunity. His every word and deed are sure to be quoted and commented on with undue seve rity. If he has large possessions and a fair share of patronage, he must lay his account with being pestered from morning to night by all manner of applications from the greedy, the ia digent, and the unscrupulous. If he is muniflcent, he is accused of being extravagant. If he is economical, he is branded as penurious. Archbishop Tillotson, in a sermon preached be fore the Merry Monarch - doubtless with Buckingham, Rochester, Sed ley, and the rest of that respectable crew among the audience - took occa sion to illustrate the advantages of a' creditable example from men of lofly station. Those, said the excellent prelate, who are in a low and pri vate condition, can only shine to a few, but they that are advanced a great height above others, may, like the heavenly bodies, dispense a gen eral light and influence, and scatter happiness and blessings among all that are below them. To my hum ble thinking, it must be very cold among the stars. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 170: July-December, 1901 Robert Tullis, when I knew him many years later, was a silent, gaunt man, but that may have been because he had so much to remember. This night he discovered himself a new creature to his neighbours. He was standing across his own door when the crowd arrived. It's up wi' the souters o' the Bowes, he welcomed them, and jeered them to the garden end. With his frank and supple tongue, he was like a man gone a length in drink, extraordinary glib and impudent. He was fey, you would have said, only he lived long years afterwards. My uncle, James Seton, a very dull man, was for ever giving voice to the thoughts which he conceived to be pass ing through my Aunt Janet's mind. So now he says, The Devil has sent for his own at last whereas Aunt Janet, good woman, no doubt was thinking that the Devil has a terrible claim upon us all - a very different thing.

Download or read book Chartist Fiction written by Ian Haywood and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2001. When the Chartist leader Ernest Jones emerged from prison in 1850, he was determined to capture the public’s attention with a controversial and topical novel. The result of his endeavours was the remarkable Woman’s Wrongs, a series of five tales exploring women’s oppression at every level of society from the working class to the aristocracy. Each story presents a graphic, often harrowing account of the social, economic and emotional victimization of women, and taken together the tales comprise a devastating indictment of Victorian patriarchal attitudes and sexual inequalities. In his substantial Introduction, Ian Haywood places the novel in the context of Jones’s career as a Chartist author and editor, and in the wider context of the ‘woman question’. Some of the topics covered by the Introduction include: the radical press and popular enlightenment, Jones’s rivalry with George W. M. Reynolds, and the needlewoman as radical icon. This title will be of interest to students of history.
