Book Description
Introduction by Frederick C. Leiner. During his distinguished fifty-seven year naval career, Charles Morris was instrumental in bringing the fledgling U.S. Navy through its early trials and in plotting a course to the greatness that would follow. In 1804 he was at Stephen Decatur's side during the fabled burning of the captured Philadelphia in Tripoli Harbor. During the War of 1812, he was second in command to Isaac Hull when Constitution defeated Guerriere. In 1880--eighteen years before the official start of its book-publishing program--the Naval Institute published his autobiography as an issue of Proceedings magazine. Later that year, a Boston publisher brought it out in book form, but this is the first time it has appeared in print since.

With an introduction by an author who specializes in the early American Navy, this new Classics of Naval Literature edition will be welcomed by historians and buffs alike for Morris's eyewitness accounts of the seminal events of his time. Unlike many other writers of the era, he wrote in a style that modern readers will find engaging. Joining the Navy as it reorganized for the Quasi-War with France, Morris fought in its early engagements and later served in many key posts as the Navy traded sails for steam and smooth bore cannon for rifled guns. Echoing the words of naval historian J. R. Soley in the original preface, this book may still offer lessons for the Navy of today. ... Read more

Book Description
This general Aryan superiority is indicative of a highly active and capable intellect, even though no one mind exercised a controlling influence. The general mentality of the race, the gross sum of Aryan thought and judgment, must have guided the course of Aryan evolution and kept our forefathers from those side-pits of stagnation into which all their competitors fell. During its primitive era the Aryan race moved steadily forward unto a well-devised system of organization which formed the basis of the great development of modern times. -from "The Age of Philosophy"What began in the late 19th century as a startlingly inept work of wishful thinking, outrageous conjecture, and bald racism masquerading as scholarship transformed itself, in the late 20th century, into a foundational work of neo-Nazi philosophy. Positing an heretofore-and subsequently-entirely unknown culture of Indo-Europeans as the standard bearers of all human progress and initiative, this 1888 work strings together a portrait of the "Aryan race" from carefully chosen scraps of religious, political, and social systems from across the Old World into a house of historical cards.Useless as a guide to human cultural origins, The Aryan Race is nevertheless essential reading for anyone hoping to understand the modern subculture of white supremacists, and how they come by their extreme doctrines.CHARLES MORRIS (1833-1922) also wrote A Manual of Classical Literature, Aryan Sun-Myths: The Origin of Religion, Heroes of Discovery in America, and The San Francisco Calamity. ...
