(Excerpt from The Mental Status of Guiteau, the Assassin o...)
Excerpt from The Mental Status of Guiteau, the Assassin of President Garfield The question of the mental condition of Guiteau on the 2d of July last, when he murdered President Garfield, is one that requires concentration of mind, and freedom from the common sentiments of human ity, to discuss with perfect impartiality. There is an unconscious tendency in the mind to be influenced by a sense of what is right, which may at times mislead well-meaning and truthful men. Connected with this sense of the eternal fitness of things, still further, is a desire to punish wrong or make the guilty suffer for their crimes, and this feeling also distorts and perverts a sound judgment. Perhaps there has been no in stance in the civilized world, where, combined with such universal sympathy for the victim, there has been so little feeling for the doer of the foul deed as in this. It would seem as if every voice in the country had been lifted up in execration against the miserable Guiteau, and had made us blind to the ordinary dic tates of humanity and dumb to the voice of reason. As a consequence we have been over nice in our dis criminations between this point and that, and have thrown aside any testimony possessing the smallest evidence of doubt. In an ordinary case doubt would tell in favor. Of the prisoner, in this case it has told against him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Thoughts on Peace and War Ihave a word or two more. For the doctrines, and for the opinions of this Address, I am alone responsible. For a moment, it was but for a moment, - it was thought that a word, or a sentence or two, might have been adapted to some temporary criticism of a portion of the public press. The criticism was the probable result of an imperfect memory, or of some unhappy tendency to find fault, and this without the current excuse. It has not been heeded. The Address was written, as above stated, at short notice and when it was finished, it was done. I have given a copy for the press, in the deep conviction of its truth.

(Excerpt from Thoughts: On the Origin, Nature, Principles ...)
Excerpt from Thoughts: On the Origin, Nature, Principles and Prospects of the Temperance Reform Was it not wise that no more was attempted in the times we speak of? Has the reform been checked for a day in its onward progress by this distinct reference by the reformers to the circumstances of their times? I answer that it has not. The earliest movements were necessarily slow. Men looked with doubts about the results of the enterprise, and some men with suspicion about the motives of the reformers. There was occasion found in this extraordinary movement for de liberate argument against the wisdom of the undertaking, and the more powerful weapon, sarcasm, was not forgotten among the means employed to defeat it. But neither the opposing circumstances of the times, nor the direct, nor indirect agencies to obstruct its progress, which the reform gave rise to, have produced this effect. It has gone steadily onward, gaining and diffusing light in its whole career. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Walter Channing was born on April 15, 1786 in Newport, Rhode Island, United States. He was the son of William Channing, who at one time served as United States district attorney, and of his wife, Lucy, daughter of William Ellery, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. He was a brother of William Ellery Channing and Edward Tyrrell Channing.
In 1804 Channing entered Harvard College in the same class with his cousin, Richard Henry Dana. He took part in the undergraduate “Rebellion of 1807” and consequently failed to receive his bachelor’s degree in the regular course. His Doctor of Medicine degree was obtained from the University of Pennsylvania in 1809. Thereafter, he spent a few years of study abroad, principally in Edinburgh and London. In 1812 Harvard Coillege conferred upon him the Doctor of Medicine degree.
In 1812 Channing began to practise obstetrics in Boston. In 1815, he was appointed the first professor of obstetrics and medical jurisprudence in the Harvard Medical School, a position which he held for nearly forty years. He also acted as dean of the Medical School from 1819 to 1847.
His professional interests were many. He assisted in the founding of the Boston Lying-In Hospital in 1832. When the New England Journal of Medicine and Surgery expanded into the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal (1828), he became co-editor with John Ware M. D. (1795 - 1864). He served as librarian of the Massachusetts Medical Society from 1822 to 1825 and treasurer from 1828 to 1840.
Walter was one of the first American physicians to employ anesthesia during childbirth. He began to use ether in cases of childbirth in 1847 and published his first report of two cases, in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal for May 19, 1847. Later in the same year he was able to issue a small pamphlet on the subject, Six Cases of Inhalation of Ether in Labor His Treatise on Etherisation in Childbirth (1848) reported over 500 cases.
He wrote brief biographies of Enoch Hale, M D John Revere, M. D. , John D. Fisher, M. D. , and Jos ua Fisher, M. D. , and an anonymous volume of poems, New and Old (1851). His long letter, which was later published in pamphlet form as Professional Reminiscences of Foreign Travel, gave a graphic account of the prevalence of puerperal fever in Europe in 1852 and of the ether-chloroform controversy. In 1856, he published A Physician’s Vacation, the record of another extensive European tour.
Walter Channing was known as one of the founders of the Boston Lying-In Hospital. His chief contribution to medicine was the introduction of anesthetics at the Massachusetts General Hospital in 1847. As an author, he published many papers on obstetrics, on the use of ether in labor and also various addresses of a more general nature.
