Seite 19 - ... romance of Walter Scott received the master's final touches just before the printing began. Bret Harte's famous poem on the Heathen Chinee was corrected and re-corrected, and on the ultimate revision received, I believe, that satirical touch which gave it world-wide fame : " We are ruined by Chinese cheap labor.
Seite 48 - Our society resembles rather the waves of the ocean, whose every drop may move freely among its fellows, and may rise toward the light until it flashes on the crest of the highest wave.
Seite 17 - ... letters is not implanted by a college; the study of nature may be pursued alone in the open air; but given to each one in a group of a hundred youths, a certain amount of talent, more than mediocrity and less than genius, — that is to say, the average ability of a boy in our high schools and academies...
