Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures With Books and Autographs This is the book for which the world has waited so long and patiently and to which all that has gone before has been in the nature of preparation. It has been in the making for over forty years, coinciding with the author 's term of service in this mortal penitentiary. He started taking notes for it at the age of two, observing attentively all that happened and resorting to eminent authorities, such as his mother and his nurse, for exposition and corroboration. In order to qualify himself for the task he studied penmanship, cultivating speed and inaccuracy until now he greatly prefers a letter written by a world-famous celebrity to one written by himself. For his possession of such marvelously acute powers of observation, which must impress the reader at the outset, the author can offer no explanation, but possible investigators may find significance in the fact that many years of his life were spent in riding on the New York subway, succeeded by other years spent in riding on the Illinois Central. His graces of style have been developed through conversation with his wife and diligent reading of the daily papers. En passant be it remarked that much useful information can be gleaned from the daily papers if one only knows where to look for it. Books have been much written about, but the literature of autograph collecting is familiar only to initiates. Until this work was written, the books on the subject were few and out standing (they still are). In 1918, Mr. A. Edward Newton, who was lying flat on his back under the Atlantic Monthly tree, trying to discover the secret of successful authorship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Adventures of Charles Edward It was a pleasant Sight even for one who was not fresh from the regions of the barbarians. Half the tables were still filled, and the restaurant, with its low ceiling and its dark, mahogany-panelled walls, looked like a warm, glowing cave. At a table near by, a party of eight were dining. Facing Austin sat a girl with a quiet face, but an infinite fund of laughter in her eyes. Not much description is needed; every one has seen Lady Angela's portrait in the illustrated papers. Charles Edward withdrew his gaze from her. Mind! He exclaimed. Rather not. No, I don't know anybody here. I have a cousin who has bagged an English husband. If she were here, she would fix me. But the silly woman has chosen just this time to go to America on a Visit. She is sending some letters for me, I believe, but they haven't come. And she won't be back herself for three weeks or so. But even if one got acquainted, one couldn't be sure of getting acquainted with just the people one wants to know.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Adventures of Diggeldy Dan As for the open space between the little white tent and all the bigger circus tents - for the tents were all a part of Spangleland there was no sign of life. True, there were gayly dressed men scattered about here and there - and women, too. But all were fast asleep. Some lay back in low, canvas chairs strung in a row in the shadow of the tents. Some, with their chins propped in their hands, were perched like pigeons on the tongues of wonderful red and golden wagons; while still others lay at full length on the cool, green grass. The lap of one was covered by a newspaper and that of another held an open book, just as if their owners had grown weary of reading and dozed off to sleep, square in the middle of a sentence.

Download or read book In the Hurricane s Eye written by Nathaniel Philbrick and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Nathaniel Philbrick is a masterly storyteller. Here he seeks to elevate the naval battles between the French and British to a central place in the history of the American Revolution. He succeeds, marvelously."--The New York Times Book Review The thrilling story of the year that won the Revolutionary War from the New York Times bestselling author of In the Heart of the Sea and Mayflower. In the concluding volume of his acclaimed American Revolution series, Nathaniel Philbrick tells the thrilling story of the year that won the Revolutionary War. In the fall of 1780, after five frustrating years of war, George Washington had come to realize that the only way to defeat the British Empire was with the help of the French navy. But coordinating his army's movements with those of a fleet of warships based thousands of miles away was next to impossible. And then, on September 5, 1781, the impossible happened. Recognized today as one of the most important naval engagements in the history of the world, the Battle of the Chesapeake—fought without a single American ship—made the subsequent victory of the Americans at Yorktown a virtual inevitability. A riveting and wide-ranging story, full of dramatic, unexpected turns, In the Hurricane's Eye reveals that the fate of the American Revolution depended, in the end, on Washington and the sea.

Download or read book No Dream Is Too High written by Buzz Aldrin and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beloved American hero and astronaut Buzz Aldrin reflects on the wisdom, guiding principles, and irreverent anecdotes he's gathered—both in outer space and on earth—through his event-filled life, in this inspiring guide-to-life for the next generation. Everywhere he goes, crowds gather to meet Buzz Aldrin. He is a world-class hero, a larger-than-life figurehead, best known of a generation of astronauts whose achievements surged in just a few years from first man in space to first men on the moon. Now he pauses to reflect and share what he has learned, from the vantage point not only of outer space but also of time: still a non-stop traveler and impassioned advocate for space exploration, Aldrin will be 86 in 2016. No Dream Is Too High whittles down Buzz Aldrin's event-filled life into a short list of principles he values, each illustrated by fascinating anecdotes and memories, such as: · Second comes right after first. NASA protocol should have meant he was first on the moon, but rules changed just before the mission. How he learned to be proud of being the second man on the moon. · Look for opportunities, not obstacles. Buzz was rejected the first time he applied to be an astronaut. Failure is an opportunity to learn to do better. · Always maintain your spirit of adventure. For his 80th birthday, Buzz went diving in the Galapagos and hitched a ride on a whale shark. He stays fit, energetic, and fascinated with life. No Dream Is Too High is a beautiful memento, a thought-provoking set of ideas, and a new opportunity for Buzz Aldrin to connect with the masses of people who recognize his unique place in human history.

Download or read book The Adventures of Timias Terrystone Classic Reprint written by Oliver Bell Bunce and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-04 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Adventures of Timias Terrystone While the records of my ancestry and birth are a blank, the history of my childhood is very meager. My earliest recollections are of being under the care of a middle-aged, portly, good-natured woman, who assured me often, and no doubt truthfully, that she was not of my kindred, and who always wept when she spoke of the fate that befell my mother. My protector was a comedy actress in one of the metropolitan theatres, and I had fallen into her charitable and willing hands when only a little more than two years of age. My mother, coming whence no one knew, had joined the company, had strug gled many months with ill-health, and had died uttering no word of her history. A few friends gave her sepulchre, and I, the helpless waif left behind, was charitably adopted by good Mrs. Tobey, whose jovial, rubicund visage I shall remember with pleasure to the end of my life.
