Excerpt from Letter to His Excellency Whitemarsh B. Seabrook, Governor of the State of South-Carolina: On the Dissolution of the Union Sir, - It will not be thought presumptuous in any man respectfully to submit his opinions to your consideration, on a subject so important, as the dissolution of the Union. - Even they who have been most scrupulous in abstaining from all participation in the ordinary discussions of party politics, will need no apology for freely examining a question, in which not the success of party or persons, but the destiny of the whole country is deeply involved. It is proposed to destroy the Confederacy of the United States. The people have so long and uninterruptedly enjoyed the beneficent influences of this crowning mercy to the wisdom and virtue of our ancestors, that they no longer appreciate the blessing, and are in danger of testing its value by its loss. They have lived in the healthy atmosphere of peace and prosperity which it diffuses around them, as they breathe the vital air, without a thought of how essential it is to their existence. We would destroy that which all other people similarly situated are craving to possess. The best men of Italy and Germany, taught by our example, have been long laboring and hoping to obtain this great remedy for intestine dissention, and aggression from abroad. United Italy, United Germany, are the day dreams of Italian and German Patriots. To realize them, they freely peril fortune and life. Until they can be realized, they see no hope for Italy or Germany. But we upon whom Providence has bestowed this pearl of great price, are willing to cast it away and trample it in the mire.

If you are looking to brush up on your literary knowledge, check a favorite author's work, or see a year's bestsellers at a glance, The Chronology of American Literature is the perfect resource. At once an authoritative reference and an ideal browser's guide, this book outlines the indispensable information in America's rich literary past--from major publications to lesser-known gems--while also identifying larger trends along the literary timeline. Who wrote the first published book in America? When did Edgar Allan Poe achieve notoriety as a mystery writer? What was Hemingway's breakout title? With more than 8,000 works by 5,000 authors, The Chronology makes it easy to find answers to these questions and more. Authors and their works are grouped within each year by category: fiction and nonfiction; poems; drama; literary criticism; and publishing events. Short, concise entries describe an author's major works for a particular year while placing them within the larger context of that writer's career. The result is a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of some of America's most prominent writers. Perhaps most important, The Chronology offers an invaluable line through our literary past, tying literature to the American experience--war and peace, boom and bust, and reaction to social change. You'll find everything here from Benjamin Franklin's "Experiments and Observations on Electricity," to Davy Crockett's first memoir; from Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" to Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome; from meditations by James Weldon Johnson and James Agee to poetry by Elizabeth Bishop. Also included here are seminal works by authors such as Rachel Carson, Toni Morrison, John Updike, and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. Lavishly illustrated--and rounded out with handy bestseller lists throughout the twentieth century, lists of literary awards and prizes, and authors' birth and death dates--The Chronology of American Literature belongs on the shelf of every bibliophile and literary enthusiast. It is the essential link to our literary past and present.
