Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World's Verdict: A Novel When Mrs. Harding saw an antique treasure, in the shape of old silver or embroidery or even a copper-pot, she said first, Its lovely; next, I wish I had it; next, I cant afford it; and finished with buying it. Every new article which came home caused the faithful Irish maid Nora to groan, for it meant closer packing, and perhaps another box. They carried many small articles with them, and with these Miss Leslie Harding beautified their salon whenever they made a stop for any time, thus making it a most attractive place to look at. It was also a most attractive place to be in, for Mrs. Harding was a very interesting and vivacious talker, and Miss Leslie a dignified and beautiful girl, who could talk well too, if she chose. Mrs. Harding was seated at a table, writing; Miss Leslie was standing in front of a mirror, with her head on one side, in that contemplative attitude which a new bonnet renders necessary at intervals for several days after its purchase.

Download or read book The Verdict of Time Classic Reprint written by Young Men'S Christian Association and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-12 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Verdict of Time Time, with his hour-glass and scythe, is symbolized as a destructive force only, whereas time is constructive. We sug gest a new figure to take the place of the familiar old man with the scythe. We would leave him his hour-glass, and borrow ing from the blindfolded Goddess of Justice her scales, would place them in his other hand instead of the scythe. We would then have the true figure of Time, measuring with one hand the passing hours, and with the other weighing in the balance and testing the value of all the changing institutions and usages of human society. A great American thinker expressed this in another way when he said, I appeal to the centuries against the hours. The processes of time are slow. We seem to be making little progress along a toilsome way. Presently we gain an eminence, a dividing ridge, and look back. Then we realize how far we have progressed. We have reached such a dividing ridge of time in the his tory of a Philadelphia institution. The practical question is, How shall we get the verdict of time upon the worth and work of an institution of our own city Philadelphia has been characterized, and, we believe, injured by self-depreciation. We are inclined to think more of the same man or the same thing in one of certain other cities than we are when he or it happens to be of or in Philadelphia. Personal modesty is a beautiful thing, but we confess to being a believer in strong local pride. In this case we shall, how ever, appeal for judgment to an impartial judge, one that sweeps away all passing human enthusiasms or prejudices, and inexorably renders his decision. The verdict of time upon a human institution can only be obtained by the careful record of the results that it has accomplished within a given period, and by the voices of the great influential elements that make up human society.

Download or read book Observations Upon the Natural History of Epidemic Diarrhoea written by O. H. Peters and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations Upon the Natural History of Epidemic Diarrhoea The causative agencies from which springs the plentiful harvest of child mortality in large cities may be conceived as a felted mass of rootlets almost inextricably intertwined. Those of poverty, bad housing, bad feeding, and neglect, may be severally recognized, but the extent of their interrelations with actual respiratory and alimentary disease - those to which the greater part of the mortality is referred - can be traced only with difficulty. It is the object Of this work to aid ln the labour of cutting away the matrix and entangling fibres and to lay bare the hidden ramifications of at least one important causative agency - epidemic diarrhoea. This affection - if we accept provisionally the more novel and generally favoured conception. As to its nature - is revealed as something very like an ordinary infectious disease, and one which permeates all classes, while the excessive mortality it gathers round itself in urban centres must be regarded as something superadded, owing to the vicious circle it forms with those baneful conditions of slum life mentioned above. On the other hand, its peculiarly intimate association with the circum stances of domestic life, from the continual faecal pollution of the interior of the household by infants and others, tends to make it more so than other affections of the kind peculiarly a class disease, and an especial scourge of dirty neighbourhoods. Dirty towns may however be saved from excessive mortality by a high percentage of breast feeding. A notable point in the interesting comparison that can be drawn between diarrhoea and typhoid fever is that, in accordance with their peculiarly opposite age-incidence curves, the marked and habitual depositing of infectious excreta within the household in the former disease may make the question of water-closet versus conservancy pan a matter of far less importance than in the latter.

Download or read book General Grant and the Verdict of History written by Frank P Varney and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2023-03-10 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General Ulysses S. Grant is best remembered today as a war-winning general, and he certainly deserves credit for his efforts on behalf of the Union. But has he received too much credit at the expense of other men? Have others who fought the war with him suffered unfairly at his hands? General Grant and the Verdict of History: Memoir, Memory, and the Civil War explores these issues. Professor Frank P. Varney examines Grants relationship with three noted Civil War generals: the brash and uncompromising Fighting Joe Hooker; George H. Thomas, the stellar commander who earned the sobriquet Rock of Chickamauga; and Gouverneur Kemble Warren, who served honorably and well in every major action of the Army of the Potomac before being relieved less than two weeks before Appomattox, and only after he had played a prominent part in the major Union victory at Five Forks. In his earlier book General Grant and the Rewriting of History, Dr. Varney studied the tempestuous relationship between Grant and Union General William S. Rosecrans. During the war, Rosecrans was considered by many of his contemporaries to be on par with Grant himself; today, he is largely forgotten. Rosecranss star dimmed, argues Varney, because Grant orchestrated the effort. Unbeknownst to most students of the war, Grant used his official reports, interviews with the press, and his memoirs to influence how future generations would remember the war and his part in it. Aided greatly by his two terms as president, by the clarity and eloquence of his memoirs, and in particular by the dramatic backdrop against which those memoirs were written, our historical memory has been influenced to a degree greater than many realize. It is beyond time to return to the original sourcesthe letters, journals, reports, and memoirs of other witnesses and the transcripts of courts-martial to examine Grants story from a fresh perspective. The results are enlightening and more than a little disturbing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story Behind the Verdict Everybody both in and out of London, Rome, Paris, and Vienna knew or knew of the Keightley Wilburs. To begin with, their relationship was peculiar. To continue, so were they. Plutocrats, yet to be counted among the intellectuals; mother and son, yet lovers and intimate companions living together in a rare and perfect sympathy. Keightley wrote plays, poems, essays, professed Socialism and practised the occult. His mother dressed exquisitely, preserved her figure and complexion and played auction bridge with ardour. Each was tolerant of the other's hob bies. Their house in Carlton House Terrace, al though not the largest, was certainly the most re markable. For whilst their neighbours cherished eighteenth century masterpieces Sir Joshuas, Romneys, Gainsboroughs, hoppners the Keight ley Wilburs had accumulated a collection of Primi tives, in comparison with which these were as interesting as modern Italian china.
