Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alexander Von Humboldt, or What May Be Accomplished in a Lifetime Have with great diffidence ventured upon the following biographical sketch, based upon Professor Klenke's Denkmal. My sole apology is that my humble effort to popu larize the memory of Humboldt has received encouragement from many men renowned in science - some of them personal friends of that illustrious man. I indulge the hepe, however, that the interesting nature of the subject will go far to atone for my inadequate treatment of it. The reader will no doubt meet with many defects of style inseparable from efforts to think in one language and express those thoughts in another; and I therefore bespeak his indul gence for my attempt to write in a tongue I never learned from my mother's lips. To treat a great theme greatly, requires something of cognate greatness. To this I do not pretend. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life, Travels and Books of Alexander Von Humboldt There are several biographies of Humboldt, French, German, and English, but none of any importance, except Professor Klencke's. Klencke had an excellent opportunity to make a good book, for much of his material was obtained from Humboldt himself, but he failed to do so. He seemed to have no idea of writing, beyond its being a means of conveying facts. His facts are reliable, but bunglingly arranged, without order or method. He says the same thing over and over again, and entirely lacks the chief requisite of a biographer - the art of making his subject attractive. Still, he is reliable, and the author has made considerable use of his work, especially in Book I. The first five chapters of Book II. are taken from Humboldt's "Voyage aux Regions Equinoxiales." As these chapters cover an important epoch in Humboldt's life, it was thought advisable to let him tell his own story, and this has accordingly been done, wherever it was practicable, the relation being changed from the first person to the third - from autobiography to narrative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Alexander Von Humboldt, Vol. 1 of 2: Compiled in Commemoration of the Centenary of His Birth When, on May 6, 1859, Alexander von Humboldt closed his eyes in death, in the ninetieth year of his age, the numerous eulogies, biographical notices, and sketches of character that appeared in periodicals of every description, both in his own country and in foreign lands, afforded striking evidence of the universal recognition of his genius, and of the unanimous acknowledgment of the influence he had exerted on the advancement of science during the present century. Many attempts have already been made to record the life of this illustrious man, and trace the process of development of his master mind. A skeleton biography was furnished by Humboldt, in the year 1850, at the request of the editor, for Brockhaus' 'Conversations-Lexikon.' An abridgment of this biography appeared in the tenth edition of that work, while the original article was published entire in the eighth volume of the periodical entitled 'Die Gegenwart' (1853). A biographical memoir, compiled, however, with no direct references to authorities, nor even with much acquaintance with scientific subjects, was brought out by H. Klencke in 1851, and in 1859 W. F. A. Zimmermann published his 'Humboldtbuch.' In addition, fragmentary portions of his biography have appeared in various forms.

Excerpt: ... castor-oil bushes grew together in luxuriant interlacement, hut weeds were also thickly springing up in every direction. The small plantation formed a marked contrast with the boundless expanse of grass; the grass grew close up to the ruined walls, even within the door of the enclosure. No cattle were seen pasturing in the immense plain; only two ostriches did I notice as they trotted across in the distance. Towards the south-east the horizon was bounded by the forests of the Uruguay. In the evening Bonpland sent for me into his own dwelling, which differed but little from the apartment already described, with the exception of the bed on which the old man lay stretched. 'It is only about a month ago, ' he remarked with a smile, ' that I had a proper bed made for myself; I used before that to sleep anywhere, just wherever I happened to lie down.' Again his thoughts wandered feverishly through the various scenes of his long life. While he was speaking two half-caste boys had entered, who were brothers of the young girl. I wished him good-night, and made up a bed for myself in the other hut. On my visiting him the next morning I found him very feeble; ho had slept badly, and his wasted hands were burning with fever. I begged that he would allow me to nurse him, and assist him in the arrangement of any of his affairs, or conduct him to his friends at Uruguayana; but he declined all offers of assistance. Hopeless as his condition appeared, he would not entertain the thought of death; he seemed to think that as he had been accustomed to put off work all through life, so death might be postponed even at the last. With a cheerful air he invited mo to visit him again in the course of ' a few years;' cattle would then be grazing in the fields, the..
