Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diary Two Parliaments: The Gladstone Parliament, 1880-1885 It had been my intention to continue this record through succeeding Parliaments; but circumstances have arisen which preclude the carrying out of that plan, and The Diary of Two Parliaments will remain a fragment in strict conformity with its title. I am fully sensible of the good fortune which has attended me in having two such momentous and distinctive those that will, through all history, be associated with the names of Mr. Disraeli and Mr. Gladstone.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes From a Diary, Vol. 1 of 2: 1851-1872 It will be Observed that I have said very little about the House of Commons, although fifteen of the years included in the portion of my notes now published were passed in that Assembly. I have done so for three reasons first, because I wished to make these pages as light as possible secondly, because I was anxious to leave behind me one of the most good natured books of its kind ever printed, and I apprehend that for a politician to write truth fully of the political struggles in which he has been engaged, without paying to some of the combatants the genuine tribute of undis sembled horror, would be a hopeless enter prise thirdly, because I had, during these fifteen years, frequent opportunities Of stating my views upon all public matters, in Parliament and out of it, opportunities of which I availed myself pretty freely.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Balfourian Parliament, 1900-1905, Vol. 1 Opportunity of describing personal incidents and dramatic scenes failing, the student of Parliamentary history and manners may find some interest in trac ing the course of events consequent on Mr. Chamber lain's departure on his Fiscal Campaign in May 1903.

Download or read book White House Diary written by Jimmy Carter and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2010-09-20 with total page 589 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The edited, annotated New York Times bestselling diary of President Jimmy Carter--filled with insights into his presidency, his relationships with friends and foes, and his lasting impact on issues that still preoccupy America and the world. Each day during his presidency, Jimmy Carter made several entries in a private diary, recording his thoughts, impressions, delights, and frustrations. He offered unvarnished assessments of cabinet members, congressmen, and foreign leaders; he narrated the progress of secret negotiations such as those that led to the Camp David Accords. When his four-year term came to an end in early 1981, the diary amounted to more than five thousand pages. But this extraordinary document has never been made public--until now. By carefully selecting the most illuminating and relevant entries, Carter has provided us with an astonishingly intimate view of his presidency. Day by day, we see his forceful advocacy for nuclear containment, sustainable energy, human rights, and peace in the Middle East. We witness his interactions with such complex personalities as Ted Kennedy, Henry Kissinger, Joe Biden, Anwar Sadat, and Menachem Begin. We get the inside story of his so-called "malaise speech," his bruising battle for the 1980 Democratic nomination, and the Iranian hostage crisis. Remarkably, we also get Carter's retrospective comments on these topics and more: thirty years after the fact, he has annotated the diary with his candid reflections on the people and events that shaped his presidency, and on the many lessons learned. Carter is now widely seen as one of the truly wise men of our time. Offering an unprecedented look at both the man and his tenure, White House Diary is a fascinating book that stands as a unique contribution to the history of the American presidency.

At a house where I was calling to-day, people talked of some absurd schoolboy answers which appeared in the Spectator, and several of which looked as if they had been happily invented. The Dean of Christ Church said: "I should have set down the one I am going to quote as happily invented, if I had not known the man to whom it was actually shown up." Question: "Enumerate the principal battles between Marston Moor and Naseby." Answer: "General Marston Moor and General Naseby repeatedly encountered each other; but at last General Naseby defeated his opponent in a great battle, and Marston Moor was left dead upon the field." 6. At Heath Court, Coleridge's Devonshire home, we spoke of Thirlwall. After his great speech in the House of Lords on the Irish Church, which had been preceded by a good deal of exertion, Coleridge said to him: "It must have been very hard work."

S, Vol. 2 of 4: The Diary Deciphered by Rev. J. Smith, A. M. From the Original Shorthand Ms. June et. The Duke having been a hunting to-day, and so lately come home and gone to bed, we could not see him, and we walked away. And I with Sir J. Minnes to the Strand May-pole 1 and there light out of his coach, and walked to the New Theatre,2 which, since the King's players are gone to the Royal one, is this day begun to be employed by the fencers to play prizes at. And here I come and saw the first prize I ever saw in my life: and it was between one Mathews, who did heat at all weapons, and one Westwicke, who was soundly out several times both in the head and legs, that he was all over blood: and other deadly blows they did give and take in very good earnest, till Westwicke was in a sad pickle. They fought at eight weapons, three boutes at each weapon. This being upon a private quarrel, they did it in good earnest; and I felt one of their swords, and found it to be very little, if at all. Blunter on the edge than the common swords are. Strange to see what a deal of money is flung to them both upon the stage between every boute. So, well pleased for once with this sight, I walked home. This day I hear at Court of the great plot which was lately discovered in Ireland, made among the Presbyters and others, designing to cry up the Covenant.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diary, Vol. 2: From November 18, 1862, to October 18, 1863 November 18. - In the street a soldier offered to sell me the pay already several months overdue to him. As I could not help him, as gladly I would have done, being poor, he sold it to a curb-stone broker, a street note-shaver. I need not say that the poor soldier sustained a loss of twenty-five percent, by the operation! He wanted to send the money home to his poor wife and children; yet one fourth of it was thus given into the hands of a stay-at-home speculator. Alas, for me! I could not save the poor fellow from the remorseless shaver, but I could and did join him in a very energetic cursing of Chase, that at once pompous and passive patriot.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes From a Diary, Vol. 1 of 2: Kept Chiefly in Southern India, 1881-1886 The two volumes which I now offer to the indulgence of those who care to follow me into new scenes, cover the period which elapsed between my departure from this country and my laying down the Government of Madras in December 1 8 8 6. So far as I can, I have excluded business, politics, and the graver interests of a Governor from these pages also but there is this difference between the life to which I had been accustomed in the House of Commons, and the life I led in India. The Head of an Indian Government knows nothing of the Recesses which diversify the Parliamentary year and prevent its monotony becoming intolerable. The day hardly ever dawns for him which is not largely occupied with public affairs of one kind or another. That being so, it is hardly possible absolutely to exclude business from these pages but I have done my very best to effect that object. I am the more able to do this, because in 1 884. And 1 8 86 I published in India two Minutes Anglia State-papers in the nature of Bluebooks, which, taken together, set forth pretty fully my views upon the things which most occupied my mind in my capacity of Governor of Madras, and sent copies of them to all my friends in this country whom I thought likely to be interested in Indian Administration.

Download or read book My Diaries Vol 2 written by Wilfrid Scawen Blunt and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Diaries, Vol. 2: Being a Personal Narrative of Events, 1888-1914 No further preface is needed for the present volume more than that prefixed to Part I of these "Diaries," except a brief one of apology for the short period which has been allowed to elapse between the latest of the events recorded in it and their appearance to-day in print. This has seemed a political necessity forced upon the Diarist by the ungenerous terms imposed by the allied Governments at Paris on their opponents vanquished in the war, terms which are still not definitely settled and against which it may be yet possible to appeal on grounds of truth and honour. For the benefit of those who would follow the logic of events leading to the Great War of 1914, and especially to the war with Turkey and the declaration of a British Protectorate in Egypt, readers are invited to take notice of the Chronology printed as No. VIII of the Appendix. It has been carefully drawn up, and will be found of use to them in forming a correct historic judgment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
