Book Description
Excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, Vol. 18: May 1853 You can't expect that our brains are yet rich enough to give you a Blackwood, or that our pockets are full enough to pay for such articles as make up Putnam's, or that we are so crammed full of jollity as to give you a Knickerbocker, or that our consciences are so totally depraved, and our way of working so piratical, as to give you a Harper's Magazine. But if we cannot pretend to cope with these, we do make pretensions to anything that can be reasonably expected of us. You have been told a thousand times that our Magazine is the oldest College periodical in the United States. We think, too, that there is no doubt in unprejudiced minds that it is, to say the least, fully equal to the best. We have been told, scores of times, by the graduates and students of other Colleges, that it is the best, but this, although we have never heard it denied, our modesty does not permit us to claim. If you complain of prosiness in our articles, we think you will not have the unfairness to charge upon them bombast or softness.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, 1853, Vol. 18 Whenever any body of men finds that a good portion of the talent which formerly aided in its quarrels has become unwieldly, and its ideas tarnished, there is generally some quiet proclamation of a new creed, and proposals to new supporters. This done, the heroes of the old strifes are wo-begone to find themselves stored among the nation's respectables, while a crowd, more pliant, and exponents of the remodeled ideas, are no less astounded to find themselves towering among the nation's nota bles. Before the wry face of this obsolete, and the wondering face of this nascent politician, the best of written comedy wants marrow; a richer mine for gems of the ludicrous no man has yet discovered, and that playwright will make fortune and fame, who shall prolong the laugh ter which agonizes the nation at these revolutions. But these faces in sorrowful and joyful anger give us some questions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, Vol. 18: April, 1853 England violated another great right. We gained another great victory. The Declaration of Independence reproaches the King of Great Britain For depriving us of the trial by Jury for transporting na beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses. N 0 American will question the authority of that immortal instrument. Is it urged in extenuation that th ese acts of gross tyranny were few? The Declaration says that they were many. Moreover, had George III the right thus to maltreat one of his English subjects, he could justify like measures toward our entire nation. That was a noble response of Solon, when asked, What in the best popular government 9 He replied, Where a wrong done to the meanest subject is an insult on the whole Constitution. The trial by jury, since our revolution, has been sacred. We have gained a principle, which takes cognizance of our highest rights. It has jurisdiction over life itself.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, Vol. 53: January 1888 We love one who blindly follows and dies for an ab stract principle, but our love is mingled with sorrow, since we look far down into the hearts of things to the result of a proper application of such force and sacrifice. Does the reader of Camille ever pause to consider why his soul is so wrought upon, why all Obscurity of thought or suggestion is trampled beneath the feet of his strong sympathy? Seldom, we think, for the feeling is perfectly natural and is the most undeniable and axiomatic proof that deep down in every human soul is the divine string that needs but some Slight touch to make us feel the world akin. why, oh! Why, we ask, was all this suf fering wasted? Why, like a little child, should it have reached out its hands to catch only thin air? But with all our questioning we are bound to reverence it, looking, as we have said, far away to a result that might have been and was not. So in real life we find Shelley imbued, intoxicated with the ideas of Condorcet and Godwin, without the calm deliberation of a philosopher, blindly and implicitly trusting a fair falsehood. Beautiful and ineffectual angel, says one, beating with his wings the luminous void in vain; but yet not wholly in vain. To be sure the ultimate source of all human wretchedness and misery is traced by the enlightened scientist of to-day far beyond the most tyrranous political system, but in Shelley's time the energetic explorers had gone no farther up the stream than the spot called Law and Government, and there they thought they found that hidden miasmatic Spring, and toiled and suffered to choke its life and died in the toiling till men said, There is a deeper source. Let us seek it out. It would be but the repetition of a truism to Say that the highest life-purpose results in the greatest usefulness. We all agree to that. Nothing but self-love or folly could make us believe otherwise. But we trip upon the means to usefulness; ah! That is the sad thing. Who can apply the tools of a carpenter to watchmaking? Painfully ab surd any such attempt, however assiduous and devoted. We cannot set diamonds with a jackscrew. But that is just what Condorcet and Godwin and Shelley and a thousand others -have tried to do, have made it the one thing in their lives to accomplish, and the diamonds have ever lain loose-scattered for the men and women who had the microscopes and hair-fine wrenches.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, Vol. 18: August, 1853 The College world furnishes a soil eminently adapted to the growth of reputations. There are some huge plants and some tremendous speci mens occasionally produced, considering the size of the garden Reputa tion seems to be easier attained, to be aspired after more, and to gain more here than in almost any other quarter. Character here sometimes obtains its strict due, but by no means always. Reputation often either shoots far ahead of it, or falls far behind. The advent of many to this microcosm is ushered in by the trumpetin gs of fame. These favorite children of renown -3who dares dispute their claims? The whisperings of report proclaim them great, and great they are. Imaginary laurels crown their brows. There seems to stand forth in bold relief upon their foreheads, the terrible, awful mark, which brands them as distinguished. They set their sails - take the helm-and, waited by the breezes of fame and reputation sail calmly down the river of College life. Look out, my friends, your bark may not be strong enough to encounter the waves of the ocean beyond. How many are there yclept smart men! How many are there who could if they would 1 How many young volca noes are there whose fires are only sleeping Sometimes these fires break forth - the thunders roar, and the mountain heavw - and then succeeds a calm. Some gain reputation, as 'twere, by the Fabian policy, or by a masterly inactivity. To come forth boldly and openly on the field of ac tion, ahd take decided steps - would, mayhap, discover their failings, and disclose their wants. The plan which they adopt - the course which they pursue, is to do but little, and get the credit for the ability to do a great deal more. Occasional flashes and periodical efforts are suficient to give them the credit, which in the interim they live upon.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, Vol. 25: June, 1860 In what we have just said, we by no means wish to have it supposed that we fondly imagine the present Board to excel in taste or intellect, all, or any of its predecessors. No more do we wish to have it sup posed that during the present year all the literary world will stand on tiptoe anxiously waiting for the publication of each successive Lit. But we do imagine that with that hearty and generous support which the Magazine deserves at the hands of its friends, it will take its true position in the estimation of College, and supply a want which is neither new, nor insignificant in its demands. Again, we by no means desire to exclude local articles whose intrinsic merit deserves for them a publication, but quite the contrary. Many, very many, of the best contributions which we shall have during the present year, will doubt less be local in their character. Other things being the same, we would of course give a local piece preference over any other. On many accounts they would be more acceptable to a majority of our readers than any other similar class of subjects which could be se looted. We desire to preserve, if possible, the golden mean between articles wholly literary on the one hand, and those wholly local on the other. To confine our selection, therefore, to the narrow and limited range of the latter, would be entirely out of the question. There is.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, 1864, Vol. 29 The theory and primary object of the Lit., if we read aright the twenty-eight volumes before us, is simply to picture, fully and faith fully, College-life - to express the feelings and hopes which bind to gether five hundred men in a common bond of brotherhood - to tell you, brie y, how our little world moves on, and, by affording a. Field for the interchange of thought, to cherish in us all a warm solicitude for the best welfare of the College and ourselves. Such' is its surely unpretentious aim, and such it is in distinction from all other periodi cals of the world outside. We aspire not with Blackwood, the Edin burgh, or a host of imitators, to delight or astound you, periodically, with profound disquisitions on agitated questions in science, literature, and the arts - with tales of thrilling interest, or with essays of match less grace; but we aim to interest you in themes which, if you are act ing your part aright here, you cannot fail to be interested in-sub jects pertaining to our rights, our interests, our progress.
