Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs and Correspondence of Mallet Du Pan, Illustrative of the History of the French Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2 As far as possible, the purely conjectural discussions which naturally abound in many of these pages have been omitted; but Whatever partook of the nature of historic critique and philosophic judgment, whatever could serve to define the manner in which events were felt by con temporaries, has been, and deserved to be, retained: we hope that it will be so considered. In one word, we have desired to produce an useful work, and we have been on our guard against allowing it to be in any sense a work of vanity, confident of thus honouring, with a respect which he would have accepted, the least vain of men, and most practical of thinkers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs and Correspondence of Mallet Du Pan, Vol. 1 of 2: Illustrative of the History of the French Revolution Elm years ago, these Memoirs would have had no need of the explanation they require at present. The writer whose career they retrace, had then lately died in the enjoy ment of the most honourable repute: his name was European; his writings, translated into many languages, were spread far and wide. No one connected with the political world was unaware that this writer, a republican as well from conviction as by origin, had deserved the confidence of Louis XVI. In the King's last dangers, and that his counsels had been received in the great cabinets of Europe. All his prophecies, met by incredulity in the first instance, had been realised one after the other; and some thing of the respect paid to prophetic minds attached to his then recent memory. But this reputation was intimately connected with the revolution: it paled, like so many others, when the great successes of Bonaparte prevailed in the popular imagination over recollections of the revolution itself. The journals, the pamphlets of those fatal times, and the names of their authors, merged rapidly into oblivion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the American Revolution, Vol. 2 of 2: From Its Commencement to the Year 1776, Inclusive, as Relating to the State of South-Carolina, and Occasionally Refering to the States of North-Carolina and Georgia The middle of September was an eventful era, in the revolutionary history of south-carolina; for, on the 15th day of that month, the Provincial Troops, * by order of the Council of Safety, took possession of Fort Johnson, commanding the entrance of Charles town harbour - the commons-house of Assembly was dissolved, by the proclamation of Governor Campbell - and, his Excellency, alarmed for his own personal safety, left Charlestown, and took refuge on board the Tamer, sloop of war, then lying in the roads. And, on the 16th day of the same month, the treaty of pacification was interchangeably signed at the camp, near ninety-six court-house. The causes, which influenced this last event, have been set forth in the preceding chapter; and l'orihe purpose of arranging the political aspects of the Colony to the same point of time, we shall now pro oecd to review what took place in the lower parts of south-carolina during the summer; and while, the Commissioners were among the disaffected settlers, of the upper country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ory of the Girondists, Vol. 1 of 3: Or Personal Memoirs of the Patriots of the French Revolution We have not thought it necessary to preface this recital by any introduction of the preceding epochs of the Revolution. We have not re-produced, with the minute elaboration of an annalist, the numerous parliamentary and military details of all the events of these forty months. Two or three times we have, in order to group men and circumstances in masses, made unimportant anachronisms. We have written after having scrupulously investigated facts and characters: we do not ask to be credited on our mere word only. Although we have not encumbered our work with notes, quotations, and documentary testimony, we. have not made one assertion unauthorised by authentic memoirs, by unpublished manuscripts, by autograph letters, which the families of the most conspicuous persons have confided to our care, or by oral and well confirmed statements gathered from the lips of the last survivors of this great epoch. If some errors in fact or judgment have, notwithstanding, escaped us, we shall be ready to acknowledge them and repair them in sequent editions, when the proofs have been transmitted to us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Madame De Stael, Vol. 1 of 2: A Study of Her Life and Times; The First Revolution and the First Empire I have not been able to find, in any language, anything like an adequate biography of Madame de Stael - a woman who, more than any other, (not excepting Madame Roland) represents her epoch, and that the epoch of the modern history of Europe. The best of French critics, Sainte Beuve, has accorded to her this pre - eminence. How incomplete, ' exclaims Gefl'roy (revue des Deux Mondes, tome vi. Are the biographies of Madame de Stael Her gifted cousin, Madame Necker de Saussure, prepared for the first edition of her collected works (ceuvres Completes de Madame de Stae'l, 17 vols. Paris, 1820 - 21) a Notice on her Character and Writings which is the best memoir of her yet given to the world nearly all the facts of her early life, recorded by other writers, are borrowed from it; yet, of its more than three hundred and seventy pages, seven eighths are devoted to general remarks on hercharacter and critical remarks on her works. She complains of the paucity of her data, the difficulty of constructing a connected history of her friend. The writings of Madame de Sta'el, particularly her Ten Years of Exile, ' her Considerations on the French Revolution, and her sketch of her father introductory to his Manuscripts (a sketch which Benjamin Constant pronounced her best self-reve lation), are replete with allusions to her own life; but these are mostly detached and vague. The superabundant 'memoirs' of her times, and the histories of the French Revolution, of the Litera ture, and of the Society of the epoch, abound in similar allusions, but they seem equally intractable to any attempt to reduce them to the correlation and consistence requisite for a biography of the usual form. Hence, probably, it is that, with almost innumerable biographical sketches, we have as yet no real biography of this greatest of literary women, greatest by the events of her life, if not by her literary productions.

They were for the most part written many years ago; and although many details have been excised which appeared to me superfluous, and likely to prove tedious to those not personally concerned, the public may still think I have been too prolix, and I therefore wish to commend myself to their indulgence. These Memoirs were origi nally destined for the perusal of friendly eyes alone; and, although their destination has been altered, I cannot alter the whole 'tone of a narrative dictated by the feelings of my heart, and written in the familiar style of an address to a beloved niece.

Download or read book Wilkie Collins s Library written by William Baker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-03-30 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) is a major British Victorian novelist, dramatist, short story writer, and journalist. He is best known today as the author of ^IThe Moonstone,^R which T.S. Eliot called the first and greatest English detective novel. He has been the subject of two recent biographies, and a revival of interest in his works is now under way. In particular, there is growing concern with his intellectual development, as witnessed by the 1999 publication of his collected letters. This reconstruction of his library offers a thorough analysis of the books he owned and his response to them and thus illuminates Collins as a reader and writer. The book begins with a narrative discussion of the contents of Collins's library and its auction. This introductory essay sheds light on the types of books he owned, his use of those texts in his writings, and the dispersion of his collection in 1890. The bulk of the volume provides annotated entries for each item from his library. Entries include publication and bibliographic information, descriptions from sale catalogs, information about the author of the item, citations of the book or author from Collins's letters, and information on the present location or subsequent history of the item. An appendix catalogs paintings and artwork in Collins's possession at the time of his death.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prison Journals: During the French Revolution The period of my confinement in different prisons during the Reign of Terror was so harassing that the idea of writing out its details did not then occur to me; but when I had the consolation of seeing my son once more, he was desirous of learning all about it. I feared that I should be overcome by my feelings if I tried to relate the details to him, and consequently determined to write the following memoirs. My parents retired to their estate of Mouchyle-Chatel, in the Department of the Oise, in the month of September, 1792. I accompanied them thither, and was their sole companion. They resolved, from prudential motives, to receive visits from no one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
