JV History of the Great Republic, Considered from a Chri3tian Stand-point. By
JtssE T. Peck, D.D. 870., pp. 710. New York: Broughton & Wyman. 1868.

ThmghU on the Future Civil Policy of America. By John William Draper,
MIX, LLD., Professor of Chemistry and Physiology in the University of New-
York.- 8vo., pp. 317. New York: Harper ft Brothers. 1865.

The two volumes whose titles we have given are in sharpest
contrast with each other. Both authors generalize, and aim at
the reasons of things. They both seek the laws by which na-
tions grow, and civilization advances; but here the parallel
*nds. The one, imbued with fullest faith in the spiritual and
the invisible, studies the interior life of the people, sees the
Mvinc hand every-where laid upon human affairs, and regard-
ing nlUUe as secondary and incidental, recognizes mind alone,
UW unite and the Infinite, as the great builder of nations and of
liMury. The other analyzes the soil, watches the barometer and
the thermometer, notices the topography, and assumes that the
darkest problems in human history are to be solved by iso-
thermal lines and the use of the globes. His axioms are, that
all mundane events are the results of the operation of law," and
all over the world, physical circumstances control the human
nice. Now and then he favors us with some more specific
dec aration in regard to cause and effect, as when he informs
u* that u the instinctive propensity to drunkenness is a function
Of the latitude," and that Milton's "Paradise Lost" would

never have been written had it not been for the Gulf Stream.
As a rule, much learning is not likely to make a man mad ;
nevertheless, there are minds so peculiarly constituted that they
can hardly pursue intently any branch cf scientific research with-
out falling victims to some theoretical crotchet, which gives rea-
son a twist and renders it wholly unreliable within the circle of
the delusion. TVe do not question Professor Draper's proficiency
in the natural sciences, nor do we fail to recognize the value, as
well as the extent, of his acquisitions ; but when he proceeds to
construct weak materialistic theories out of his multitudinous
and rich but abused facts, we confess that we regard the raw
material as of much more value than the manufactured article,
and are reminded of the mouse's nest that was made of bank
bills.

It is not wise, indeed, to forget natural laws, or deny the
part which they play in shaping the destiny of men and of
nations. But for the Nile, whose annual overflow clothes with
fruitful harvests a valley six hundred miles long, the Egypt of
history would have been impossible. But the Nile still flows ;
and the annual tribute which the swelling floods bring, from
the southern mountains are as rich as when hundred-gated
Thebes stood in her grandeur. And yet the greatness of Egypt
is seen only in the massive relics of dead centuries. The old
Eoman, stern, patriotic, law abiding, was not the mere crea-
ture of the zone which he inhabited ; else the modern Italian
would show more of the iron strength of his ancestors. Empires
wax and wane, not as climate and soil change, but in obedience
to subtler influences and less material laws. The materialistic
fancies of certain pretentious writers, the " oppositions of science
falsely so called," are as shallow as they are impious. Both
men and nations are doubtless shaped in some degree by the
peculiarities of their material surroundings ; but the most potent
of all formative influences cannot be measured by the geometer,
not tested in the alembic of the chemist. The unseen is stronger
than the visible. As a man " thinketh in his heart, so is he."

A sound reasoner, even if lacking in religious knowledge, will
not mistake materialistic fatalism for true philosophy ; but if
he believes in the God of the Bible, he will see the Divine hand
guiding the current of events, and feel that the great Sovereign
has neither abdicated nor been dethroned. As the power of

gravitation, silent, but ever present and ever potent, guides the
descent of the falling leaf, holds the hills upon their founda-
tions, and the stars in their orbits, and yet allows the human
will its area of true freedom of action, so underneath all human
agencies, and through all material forms and forces, and more
powerful than all, the Divine purpose rules, winning all things
into harmony with itself, and moving steadily onward to its
grand results. The pen of the historian needs to give this fact
a fuller recognition. There is a class of mind which seems to
exult in the rejection of every truth of Revelation, and yet is
weakly credulous of every thing besides ; that works with in-
sidious zeal to make us forget all except the things which are
seen, and reject as unworthy of consideration every thing that
is allied to what Atheism delights to call the supernatural.
Yielding to none in regard for scientific research and its fruits,
and holding as firmly as any the existence of definite material
law, the Christian finds no ultimate basis but Divine wisdom
and Divine agency. If the wildest Darwinian theory of de-
velopment could be absolutely demonstrated, still the great
question would remain, Who set in motion this complicated
enginery of cause and effect? True wisdom will trace with
profoundest interest the action of natural law, and mark the
skill with which the golden links are joined, each with its fel-
low, and yet feel at all times, that however long the chain, the
hand of God holds the end which is out of sight. Herein ap-
pear the folly and the effrontery of a pretentious and yet feeble,
unbelieving philosophy, which to-day traces the chain one link
further back than yesterday, and straightway rushes to the con-
clusion that nothing exists save material law and its effects.

J he rustic who believes that the world is a vast plain which

rents upon a rock, and that rock upon another, and " so all the
way down," is just as wise and worthy of respect as he who,
with sage face and infinitude of learned phrases, assures us
that there is no God, but only one cause growing out of an-
other, and so all the way up. "Vain man would be wise,
though man be born like a wild ass's colt."

This infidel abuse of science ought to be rebuked. We owe
it to science and reason, as well as to religion, to "witness a
good confession " of a wiser faith. This Dr. Peck has done, and
well done, in his recent work. The plan and purpose of the

8 American Histories — Peck and Draper. [January,

volume are clearly stated in the title-page. The author does
not propose to write a new history of the Republic, that shall
be more accurate or complete in its narration of events, or in
its estimate of historic characters, than those which have pre-
ceded it. As the title of the book declares, Dr. Peck's work
is not so much a new history as a reconsideration of history,
rehearsing the main facts, as briefly as is consistent with their
use in illustration, to show the hand of Providence in the found-
ing and the building of the Great Republic, and its true place
in the history of human progress. The author thus states the
underlying principle upon which he has built his edifice :

The theory of this book is, that*God is the rightful, actual Sov-
ereign of all nations ; that a purpose to advance the human race
beyond all its precedents in intelligence, goodness, and power,
formed this great Republic ; and that religion is the only lite-force
and organizing power of liberty. Incapable, as he trusts, of the
absurdity of any pretensions to originality in discovering either prin-
ciples or methods of the Divine government, or of having in any
sense superseded the labors of other men, he simply claims to have
made, with perfect candor and some thoroughness, his humble
contribution to what must be admitted to be a very important, if
not in some sense a newly-defined, method of American history. —
Preface, page viii.

These antecedent convictions are in the highest degree con-
sistent with both reason and revelation. If God does not
superintend the affairs of men, then are they adrift upon the
fitful currents of chance, or, at the best, at the mercy of merely
human aims and agencies, narrow, feeble, and short lived. It is
evident that God is giving the American people boundless
material wealth, and every other element of national power ;
and seeing that much is required of those to whom much is
given, he must demand of us a purer national life, and a greater
advancement in personal virtue, corresponding with our supe-
rior advantages. The bestowal cannot be aimless ; the aim
must be at least inclusive of this. And if liberty be a good
thing, and, at the same time, a perilous gift to men except
where virtue and intelligence prepare them to use it wisely,
then is religion the only solid rock on which to found it, so
that it may stand when the winds of stormy passion blow, and
the waves of corruption beat. We not only agree heartily
with Dr. Peck's methods of considering American history, but

1SG9.1 American Histories — Peck and Draper. 9

believe that this is the only true method of writing the history
of any nation ; and that on any other plan the work of the
historian, however minute and accurate within its circle, fails
to go into the real depths of the theme, and above all, fails
totally to teach the lessons which history ought to give, and
without which it is superficial and well-nigh valueless. The
moral and religious life of a man is his real life, the chief
source of his present joys and sorrows, and the arbiter of his
destiny in the life beyond. In regard to a nation, the true in-
quiry is, not what cities were founded, what battles were fought,
•what tyrants lived and died, but, "What were the people ? What
did they know of God, nature, and themselves? What value
did they set upon truth, honesty, honor, purity, piety ? What
did they most of all seek for in life ? What did they most of all
hope for in death ? These things are not fixed by the soil, the
climate, the natural scenery, and yet they afiect more than all
else, for weal or woe, the national welfare. Wouid" that the
history t>f the whole world were rewritten, "considered from a
Christian stand-point !"

The task which our author proposed to himself was not an
easy one.

Assuming that there will be no captious reader, anxious to
discover and reject all that savors of the "supernatural,"
the work includes so wide a field, involves interests of such
vast proportions, the nice weighing of so many influences, the
measuring of so many forces, material, intellectual, and moral,
and the interpretation of so many and so diversified events,
that the labor of the mere historian is light in comparison with
it. Our author has done his work thoroughly, and with skill
and judgment In the selection of representative events, and
the estimate of their value, as well as in his general plan
and method, he has been singularly happy. The history is
divided into five periods. The Period of Preparation extends
from the Discovery of America to the time of the agitations
which ushered in the war of the Revolution. The Period of
Independence includes the Revolutionary War, and reaches on-
ward to the inauguration of George Washington, the first
President under the present Constitution. The Period of De-
velopment extends to the beginning of the Great Rebellion.
The Period of Emancipation treats of the contest through

10 American Histories — Peck and Draper. [January,

which the nation has just passed in the defense of the national
life.* The Fifth Period glances at the Future of America, as
foreshadowed in the wondrous past, and the present hopeful
state of our country. The whole is a body " fitly joined to-
gether and compacted by that which every joint supplieth."
All the sections find unity in the chapters, all the chapters in
the periods, and all the periods in the theme announced in
the title of the volume ; so that the discussion is not irregular
and fragmentary, but exhaustive, neither omitting any thing
essential to the argument, nor inserting any thing that does
not tend to the conclusion. The author does not indeed trace
these periods with the pen of the minute historian, attempting
to enter the field where Bancroft, Hildreth, and others have
won their fame. Nor does he select, here and there, the single
facts which seem to favor his theory, while others are designedly
kept out of sight, lest they undermine the logic of the work.
On the contrary he comes before us, as the spies returned to
Kadesh-barnea, not indeed with the vintage of every hill, nor
bearing the whole harvest of' any field in the land of promise,
but bringing enough to show the character of what has been
left behind. The materials thus gathered are wrought into a
compact argument ; and yet the descriptions are so vivid, the
narrative so clear, the whole so full of vigor and enthusiasm,
with so much of pathos and power, that not only the slow and
patient reasoner,
