Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of American Life, Vol. 2 of 3 It is, sometimes, agreeable to stray off into the wilderness which fancy creates, to recline in fairy bowers, and to listen to the murmurs of imaginary fountains. When the beaten road becomes tiresome, there are many sunny spots where the pilgrim may loiter with advantage - many shady paths, whose labyrinths may be traced with delight. The mountain and the vale, on whose scenery we gaze enchanted, derive new charms, when their deep caverns and gloomy recesses are peopled with imaginary beings. But above all, the enlivening influence of fancy is felt when it illumines our fire-sides, giving to the wings of time, when they grow heavy, a brighter plumage, and a more sprightly motion. There are seasons, when the spark of life within us, seems to burn with less than its wonted vigour; the blood crawls heavily through the veins; the contagious dullness seizes on our companions, and the sluggish hours roll painfully along. Something more than a common impulse is then required to awaken the indolent mind, and give a new tone to the flagging spirits. If necromancy draws her magic circle, we cheerfully enter the ring; if folly shakes her cap and bells, we are amused; a witch becomes an interesting personage, and we are even agreeably surprised by the companionable qualities of a ghost.

Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of European History The following pages will be found to contain, in the first place, a rapid outline of the History of Europe, from its be ginning to the present time and then a series of sketches or pictures of important and interesting events, belonging to the history, and drawn out with some detail.

Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of American History The continent of America stretches from the polar regions of the north, almost to the frozen zone of the southern hemisphere. Its whole length is nearly nine thousand miles, and, bent upon the surface of the globe, embraces more than one third of its entire circumference. It occupies about one third of the land upon the earth. Its inhabitants may be estimated at forty-five millions, or one twentieth part of the entire population of the globe. In comparison with the eastern continent, America is marked with a scale of grandeur in several of its physical features. The great chain of mountains which extends through both portions of the continent, from Cape Horn to the borders of the Arctic ocean, is the longest in the world. Lake Superior has a surface exceeding that of all the fresh water lakes of Europe, Asia, and Africa. The river Amazon bears to the ocean as great a volume of water as the united streams of Europe.

Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of Asiatic History The physical features of Asia are very striking. It presents every variety of climate, from the dreary confines of the polar world to the heart of the tropical regions. Its rivers yield in magnitude only to those Of the Western Continent; its towering mountains sur pass all others in elevation; its immense salt lakes, or inland seas, its wide deserts, its extensive plains, are among its distinguishing features. The natural productions of Asia are not less striking than its geographical features. It abounds in the rich est minerals, and yields every variety Of precious gem. The vegetable kingdom presents us with the choicest fruits and flowers, with costly gums and fragrant spices. Nor is the animal kingdom less remarkable and diversified. From this region we have derived the horse, the peacock, the pheasant, and our ham-door fowls. Every thing in Asia seems to have been formed on a scale of magnificence and profusion, in which all that is grand is blended with all that is beautiful.
