Book Description
Excerpt from Miscellaneous Essays and Letters Previous to the war with Mexico, the United States had never acquired or claimed a foot Of Mexican territory, other than that included in the new State of Texas. The claim Of Texas to all the disputed territory rested alike oii the same foundation. She had never acquired possession, or exercised jurisdiction over an inch of land lying on the Rio Grande, from its mouth to its source. Her Only title to any part Of it was a legislative enactment, which she purposed to en force by future conquest, but which She never effected. It consequently follows, that, if previous to the war with Mexico, the Rio Grande was the southwest boundary Of the United States, as as serted by the President and Congress, it must also have been the boundary of the State Of Texas when admitted into the Union.

Pages : 302
Book Description
Excerpt from Literary Studies, Vol. 1: A Collection of Miscellaneous Essays The present final collection of his miscellaneous papers, originally written for, and printed in the American Monthly Magazine, Arcturus, the Church Record, the Democratic and Whig Reviews, Boston Miscellany, Union Magazine, Literary World, and other periodicals, is intended to include such of the writer's papers (chiefly of literary criticism) as have appeared to him worthy of preservation. With the exception of a few comparatively recent articles, they were mostly written and printed 1838-1845, and comprise a little more than one-half of his entire contributions to the press up to the present date. Most of the papers here collected (since the publication of The Analyst, anonymously in 1839, and which was made up of lucubrations written the year and a half previously) have appeared already in the volumes of Literary Studies and Essays upon Authors and Books. Holding the doctrine of Hazlitt, however, to be sound, that a first edition is as good as MSS., as the impressions of all these three miscellanies were limited, and have been long since out of print, and as numerous typographical errors had crept in, as well as mistakes of fact and opinion, it was thought a new and correct edition might be favorably received by the present generation of readers, young students in particular, in college, the lovers of the choice old English literature, and those cultivated general readers to whom these miscellanies are unknown.

Here at length the hitherto disjointed ultraisms of the country have found a point on which they can concentrate their traitorous forces; and by similar steps, and on the same soil that they and their coadjutor (the late James K. Polk) compelled a foreign, precipitated a civil, war upon their country. And should retribution be permitted to visit us through this means, how fearfully instructive should be the warning!
