Book excerpt: A Little Tour of France by Henry James A Little Tour of France by Henry James The notes presented in this volume were gathered, as will easily be perceived, a number of years ago and on an expectation not at that time answered by the event, and were then published in the United States. The expectation had been that they should accompany a series of drawings, and they themselves were altogether governed by the pictorial spirit. They made, and they make in appearing now, after a considerable interval and for the first time, in England, no pretension to any other; they are impressions, immediate, easy, and consciously limited; if the written word may ever play the part of brush or pencil, they are sketches on "drawing-paper" and nothing more. From the moment the principle of selection and expression, with a tourist, is not the delight of the eyes and the play of fancy, it should be an energy in every way much larger; there is no happy mean, in other words, I hold, between the sense and the quest of the picture, and the surrender to it, and the sense and the quest of the constitution, the inner springs of the subject-springs and connections social, economic, historic.

This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stained Glass Tours in France The purpose of this book is a very simple one. It is to provide an answer to the question, Where does one find good stained glass in France, and how can it most conveniently be seen All the books upon this subject are more or less technical and are in tended rather for the student than the Sightseer. Dur ing the Six years that the writer has been studying glass, he has so Often been asked the above question, as to finally conclude that an answer in the form of a Simple touring handbook might be of service. To that end he has put together notes taken on sundry vacation trips. The reader should be indulgent, for the writer is not an authority on glass - just a lawyer on a holiday. In addition to the purpose al ready described, it is hoped that this little book may also serve to lure forth into the charming French country some who have hitherto neither heard nor cared much about glass, SO that they may see the wonderful beauty that the stained-glass window can alone reveal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of France It often happens that those of us who live in great cities do not know our next door neighbors. In the great world it is very much the same and we know little or nothing about our neighbors. Hundreds of years ago a French writer called us his next neighbor. It was impossible, he said, to write about France without also writing about England. That is very true, for during hundreds of years the history of the two countries mixed and mingled. Yet in spite of that Jacques Bonhomme and John Bull have gone on liv ing side by side knowing little of each other's history, understanding little of each other's ways. For during hundreds of years France and England were deadly enemies, and Englishmen cared little about the history of France. They thought that they knew enough about Frenchmen when they knew how to fight them. But those days have long gone past, and now Jacques Bonhomme is not only our next neighbor, but our very good friend. That being so, British boys and girls are no longer con tent to know nothing about this friend, and several years ago I got a letter from a little English boy. I like that book, he/said, and I wish you would write one just the same, only about France, because we can't find anything nice about France. Since then I have received many such letters both from British boys and girls and from their cousins in America. I promised them all that some day they should have the book they asked for. They were not very pleased with that promise, I think. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-06-27 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Year's Journey through France and Part of Spain, 1777 Volume 1 by Philip Thicknesse As you are kind enough to say, that those letters which I wrote from this kingdom, nine or ten years ago, were of some use to you, in the little tour you made through France soon after, and as they have been considered in some degree to be so to many other persons, (since their publication) who were unacquainted with the manners and customs of the French nation, I shall endeavour to bring together, in this second correspondence with you, not only some of the former hints I gave you, but such other remarks as a longer acquaintance with the country, and a more extensive tour, may furnish me with; but before I proceed any further, let me remind you, of one great fault I was then guilty of; for though your partiality to me might induce you to overlook it, the public did not, I mean that of writing when my temper was disturbed, either by cross incidents I met with upon the road, or disagreeable news which often followed me from my own country into this. I need not tell a man of your discernment, in what a different light all objects, whether animate, or inanimate, appear to those, whose temper is disturbed, either by ill health, ill treatment, or, what is perhaps more prevalent than either, the chagrin he may feel at not being rated in the estimation of others, according to that value he puts upon himself.

This book was released on 2017-06-10 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Switzerland, the South of France, and the Pyrenees A little before sunset, I found my way to the neighbourhood of the cathedral, where a terrace planted with chestnut-trees overhangs the Rhine, which flows about two hundred feet below. Here I cuj oyed a charming prospect, not altogether of a Swiss landscape, but in which were mingled some of the features of Swiss scenery. A delightful little plain, covered with thickets and small coun try-houses, extended from the opposite bank of the river to the foot of the hills which stretch through the territory of Baden. These formed a fine back-ground, chequered as the were by sunshine and shade. Up and down t e Rhine, the gardens of the citizens, full of choice shrubs and flowers, sloped down to the river side while on one bank, the picturesque buildings of Little Basil, and on the other the superb edifices of the rich merchants, extended as far as the eye could follow the curve of the river. Switzerland seemed still to lie beyond for, as the sun continued to sink, it suddenly disappeared behind a lofty range of mountains which bounded the horizon, and which form an appendage to the J ura.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art in France Certain kindly disposed confreres who have taken an interest in the following work have asked me now and then whether I intended to deal with French Art in fifty volumes or fifty pages. I have written a good deal less and a good deal more - too much or too little, it may be objected. Compared with works which exhaust the material and those which condense it into a few drops Of elixir, this little book has but one merit - that of existing. For the art of our country has never been treated as a whole, save in treatises on universal art, where the French-chapters appear in their due order, or in general histories of France, where the names Of artists defile at the end of a volume, like baggage at the rear of a convoy. Why has it not been thought necessary to coiordinate these different chapters, as has been done so efficiently and so frequently in the history Of our politics and our literature?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of France for Young People T is hard to realize, as one travels now through fertile France and sees the well-tilled fields, noble cities, and vineyards heavy with their purple fruit, that it was once covered by tangled for ests, whose only inhabitants were wild beasts and men nearly as savage as they. Indeed, one might almost have mistaken the man for the animal at a little dis tance, for they both wore coverings of Skins and never combed their hair; but when you saw the human being drinking out Of a cup formed from the skull of his enemy, then you knew he must be a man, for wild beasts are not so revengeful. The Old name for France was Gaul, and the people who lived there before the time of Christ are supposed to have come from Central Asia, and to have belonged to one of the fierce races called Celtic, which Spread over the western part Of Europe before history begins.
