Summary "The Yale Literary Magazine (Vol. I, No. 5, July 1836)" by Various is a collection of literary works written in the early 19th century. This volume features a variety of essays, poems, and literary criticisms, embodying the intellectual spirit of Yale College during that period. The contents reflect themes of morality, greatness, and the human condition, showcasing the thoughts and talents of its student contributors. The opening portion of the magazine begins with a philosophical exploration titled "On the Simplicity of Greatness," which discusses the nature of true greatness and the simplicity found in the thoughts and expressions of great minds. The author reflects on how great men, absorbed in their objects of contemplation, often exemplify humility and a love for truth devoid of self-interest. The piece emphasizes how greatness is marked by absorption in single truths and a passionate pursuit of knowledge. Following this essay, the magazine includes poetry that touches on themes of contentment and the innate feelings of love and beauty. In summary, the opening sets the stage for a rich literary exploration focused on virtue, the human experience, and the interplay of moral feeling and imagination.
