Excerpt from Tribune Essays: Leading Articles Contributed to the New York Tribune by Charles T. Congdon
Some members of this class are men of all work ready, at the word of command, to review the most ponderous tome that embodies the latest and least intelligible speculations in German theology or Scotch metaphysics - to report a masquerade-ball, or to chronicle the latest Paris fashions; but the better, if not more numerous, class do that work only (or mainly) for which they are specially qualified, and to which they are, attracted by their studies, or their tastes - often by both.

Excerpt from Tribune Essays: Leading Articles Contributed to the New York Tribune by Charles T. Congdon
In making this compilation, I have trusted that the memory of the render would be sufficient for the explanation of most allusions; and commentary would not only have cumbered these pages, but would hardly have been fair. Nor have I ventured upon any corrections or alterations of importance. These articles are precisely what they profess to be; they were, from day to day, hastily written to serve an immediate purpose; and they are, therefore, entitled, I hope, to a lenient and charitable judgment.
A book like this would be of little value if it did not, in some respects, illustrate one of the most extraordinary changes in the opinions of a great people which history records. The election of Mr. Buchanan seemed definitely to indicate not merely the perpetuity of Human Slavery in this Republic, but the acquiescence of the people of the Free States, or of a majority of them, in the extension of that unhappy institution.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This collection of essays incisively analyzes the issues and heated debates that defined the slavery controversy of the mid-nineteenth century. Published as public opinion shifted and just prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, this timely compendium eloquently exposes the irrationality, cruelty, and political entrenchment that characterized pro-slavery arguments. The author's use of humor and satire provides an accessible and often bitingly sarcastic lens through which to view the era's most consequential arguments. This book offers an essential snapshot of the period, making vivid the attitudes and misconceptions that contributed to the nation's tumultuous divide, and illuminating the human cost of the entrenched racism which pervaded the country at the time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
