Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reply to the Reviewer of the Remarks on Dr. Channing´s Slavery Dr. Channing and his defenders remind us of a beauty in a ball room, when she learns for the first time that she is not thought to be so handsome as all her life long she had been accustomed to suppose. The pouting lip, the scornful glance, the airs and graces of affected contempt, with now and then a sly look at the mirror which still seems to warrant the admiration of her flatterers are but indications of a harmless vanity which it is cruel to disturb. But adulation to men or women spoils the temper. It unfits its objects for the common purposes of life. It impresses them with false notions of their character, makes them impatient of contradiction, gathers sycophants round them who delight in the degradation of parasites, and who measure all other excellence by the standard of their own idolatry. A literary man, under such circumstances, finds creatures who attempt to share his fame by retailing his opinions, which very often they do not understand, and therefore they only repeat his prejudices and extend his errors without softening them by the genius or the virtues of their original. We see all this and more of the same kind in the attempts that have been made to defend Dr. C.´s work on Slavery, whether by extravagant eulogy of his book, or by strictures and Reviews of the Remarks that were made upon it by a Citizen of Massachusetts. The subject has lost something of its interest. Agitation on slavery, which Dr. C.´s work was well calculated to produce, has been put down in Congress, and by consequence through the country.
