Download or read book Our Young Folks Abroad written by James D. McCabe and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Young Folks Abroad: The Adventures of Four American Boys and Girls in a Journey Through Europe to Constantinople Although many books of travel have appeared in past years, it has seemed to the author and the publishers of this volume that there is room for one which shall bring up before the young readers of this country the principal places and scenes of the most charming portions of the Old World, together with such incidents of their history and romance as will interest without fatiguing. The plan adopted has some elements of novelty. An American gentleman and his wife sail for Europe, taking with them their son and daughter, and their nephew and niece. They travel through portions of England, France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, until they reach Genoa. There they engage a swift-sailing yacht, and make a pleasant summer cruise in the Mediterranean, visiting Mentone, Monaco, Nice, Leghorn, Florence, Pisa, Rome, Naples, Palermo, and other points in Sicily, Athens, and Constantinople, where the voyage is brought to an end. The narrative consists of a recital of their adventures, the wonderful things they saw, and the impressions of the younger portion of the party. The author has not relied solely upon his imagination in the treatment of his subject, for while the names and characters of the travellers are fictitious, he has drawn freely upon his own experience during several visits to Europe. His aim, throughout, has been to instruct, as well as to amuse. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Uncle Phil: A Novel Keep your heart as light as you can, An ounce of care killed a man. The inhabitants, which are mostly of the Spanish race, of the peaceful little city of Bonito, are in the enjoyment of the post-meridian siesta. There are exceptions, however, for, standing in the corridor of an ancient adobe building - its flagstaff, from which floats the American flag, proclaims its official character - and fronting the pier, for Bonito has a seaport, are three young people: sister and brothers, as evidenced by the strong resemblance they bear one to another; cast in the same generous mold, with the same upright carriage, lofty poise of head, and noble, finely chiseled features. The girl is young, not eighteen, and her brothers only a few years older. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Young Fugitives: A Story for Young People However much the author of watch and wait may sympathize with that portion of the population of our country to which the principal characters of the story belong, he is forced to acknowledge that his book was not written in the interests of the anti-slavery cause. His young friends require stirring incidents of him, and the inviting field of adventure presented by the topic he has chosen was the moving spring which brought the work into existence; and if the story shall kindle any new emotion of sympathy for the oppressed and enslaved, it will have more than answered the purpose for which it was intended, and the writer will be all the more thankful for this happy influence.

Download or read book The First Book in United States History Classic Reprint written by Waddy Thompson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Book in United States History The value of biography in teaching history to young pupils is well recognized. The personal, or human, element that this form of narration adds to the text arouses the interest that is essential to the study of history. Care should be taken, however, not to overemphasize biography lest the relative importance of the in dividual and the event be misunderstood and lest the historical connection between events be lost. The biographies furnished in' this text are abundant, and they have been selected because, taken together, they cover nearly all the events of the history of our country that the young pupil need know. Wherever biography is not available, or wherever it is advisable to emphasize the event rather than the individual or to preserve a closer connection between events, the author has resorted to the ordinary form of narration. In preparing the text he has used portions of his earlier work, A Primary History of the United States. When undertaken properly the study of history is not only very useful, but is a source of delight. If the pupil, in taking up the study for the first time, can see in it the wonderful story of people who have gone before him and builded that he might live the better, he will acquire a liking for history that will abide with him in after years. To give to the young people of America not only the advantages, but the pleasure, that may be found in the study of the history of their country is the purpose of the author. With the hope that his purpose will be fulfilled, this little book is sent forth on its mission. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
