North American Review

And now, standing in imagination by his grave, we ask, will the night be eternal? The brain says, perhaps, while the heart hopes for the dawn.

North American Review, November 1892.

This ends Ingersoll's lecture on Ernest Renan.

Wherever he happened to be, in his office, at his home, on the boat, in the train, in the cab rattling through noisy streets, sitting, standing, reclining, he spoke the splendid words that the stenographer's art caught and reproduced for him.

His famous replies to Judge Black in the North American Review were dictated at the billiard table in his home with cue in hand.

A sentence and a paragraph, then a run with the balls.

Another paragraph, another run, and so on to the end.

Now, I find it fascinating that any conservative calls Joseph Story an originalist because I think that's laughable.

"Persuaded of the great importance of the debate, Edward Everett of Massachusetts, an editor of the influential North American Review and a Webster supporter, wrote James Madison asking for his opinion on the constitutional questions that had been discussed." Um, now, Edward Everett is important because this is the man that made the nearly, like, three-hour speech before Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address in 1863.

Edward Everett was a very important member of New England society.

So he's writing James Madison, and what do you think? "Hayne had cited both Jefferson and Madison as the fathers of those principles now avowed by him, including the right of state nullification.

It contains none of the Leroux compilation.

Howells also said that I must go hang myself first." and when I asked him what I should do that for, he said to save the public the trouble, because when that story appeared in print they would surely hang me.

Iconoclastic as the article referred to may have been, Mr. Clemens lived to meet his end peacefully at home.

And I'm Makaya Utini.

And today we're speaking with Jeremy Schraffenberger, poet, author, educator, and editor of the North American Review, America's oldest literary magazine.

Jeremy has published several collections of poetry and has won the Seattle Review's Poetry Prize, Arcana's Creative Nonfiction Prize, Revolver's Wanted Fiction Contest, and others.

In this episode, we discuss the history of the North American Review, Jeremy's editorial philosophy, and what kinds of submissions he's currently seeking.

In the meantime, we're excited to be with him today.

Jeremy, thank you so much for joining us.

We're so excited to have you.

A Little Note to M. Paul Bourget.

The preceding squib was assailed in the North American Review in an article entitled Mark Twain and Paul Bourget by Max Orel.

The following little note is a rejoinder to that article.

It is possible that the position assumed here, that M. Bourget dictated the Orel article himself, is untenable.

This is not going over well.

Uh, the North American Review in September eighteen eighty-two publishes an article which exposes some of the horrible examples of assessments going on.

They talk about in New York where a judge from the bench goes to a hotel room and then summons employees of the Postal Service to appear before him along with a clerk.

What if in diligence they explore these murky waters where our party cruised and cast their anchor near every shore where public confidence has been abused.

So goes the story of Arthur and the ghost.

The North American Review again after the election.

It is a groundswell of which all surface disturbances are effects not causes.

AI and the Dangers of Electric Lightning by Peter C.

Early Thomas Edison published an article in the North American Review in November 1889 with the headline, The Dangers of Electric Lighting.

Safety had become a concern, and Edison argued that high tension currents particularly alternating current, posed an unacceptable danger.
