		This was the pattern in the works of George Bancroft, George Ticknor Curtis, Herman E. von Holst, John W. Burgess, and James Schouler, written from a Unionist point of view, and the works of Alexander Stephens and Jefferson Davis, written from a Southern view.

		George Bancroft, concluding a long life of scholarship and public service, wrote in 1882 that in America the gates of revolution were bolted down, for the Constitution provided a legal and peaceful way to bring about change.

		Indeed, Brooks envisioned his poetic ability as well suited to providing more accurate translations of German lyric poetry than was available at the time, and he saw the entire act of translation as an act of poetry.

		Brooks’s death, one year after the publication of The Wisdom of the Brahmin, was widely reported, and his memorial was attended by such notables as George Bancroft, testifying to his stature in the religious and literary community.
