Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographies of Working Men There at long intervals around some stern and simple Scottish church. Yet the hardy people who inhabit this wild and chilly moorland country may well be considered to rank among the best raw material Of society in the Whole of Britain; for from the peasant homes of these Southern Scotch Highlands have come forth, among a host of scarcely less distinguished natives, three men, at least, who deserve to take their place in the very front line of British thinkers or workers - Thomas Telford, Robert Burns, and Thomas Carlyle. By origin, all three alike belonged in the very strictest sense to the working classes; and the story of each is full of lessons or of warnings for every one of us: but that of Telford is perhaps the most encouraging and the most remarkable of all, as showing how much may be accomplished by energy and perseverance, even under the most absolutely adverse and difficult circumstances. Near the upper end Of Eskdale, in the tiny village of Westerkirk, a young shepherd's wife gave birth to a son on the oth of August, 17 5 7. Her husband, John Telford, was employed in tending sheep on a neighbouring farm, and he and his Janet occupied a small cottage close by, with mud walls and rudely thatched roof, such as in southern England even the humblest agricultural labourer would scarcely consent willingly to inhabit. Before the child was three months old, his father died; and Janet Telford was left alone in the world with her unweaned baby. But in remote country dis.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woodrow Wilson: The Man and His Work, a Biographical Study In this work I have tried to give a systematic account of what Woodrow Wilson has done, and of the principles on which he acts. The latter is really the more important, for information without insight is of little value and indeed may be a disadvantage. Besides recounting events I have therefore endeavored to exhibit them in their bearing upon the public welfare, apart from considerations of party advantage; and also to point out their constitutional significance. These are the things that count in the reckonings of history; these are the things that ought to determine present judgement; these are the things I have had in mind in writing this biography.

This book was released on 2018-10-13 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Autobiography of a Working Man He found my mother a young blooming woman at or in the vicinity of Ayton - a pretty village as you will say if you ever see it. She was a servant in a farmhouse previous to marriage, and the daughter of John Orkney, a working man. She had a female ancestor, reputed as a witch, who is still remembered for her sayings and doings. People in Ayton to this day, to justify some thing unusual said or done by themselves, add to it, As old Eppy Orkney said, or, As old Eppy Orkney did. Perhaps my progenitors who lived nearer to her time than I, did not feel much honour in Eppy's reputa tion for witchcraft. But for myself I confess to have always had a veneration for this, the only one of my progenitors who was in any way distinguished above the common level of men and women. I have no doubt that she was a woman of superior energy and intellect, whom narrower minds around her could not comprehend. Had she been remarkable only for her weakness of mind, her sayings and doings would have perished with her or soon after her. My parents being a careful pair, began housekeeping with a good stock of furniture. But I have heard them tell of the wretched hovel of a house they lived in. The houses of the labourers in the south of Scotland are generally only sheds to this day, even most of those newly buiAbout the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

There was a fire in my bones that impelled me to write when Warren G. Harding was nominated for President of the United States. While not intended as a political book, there is an earnest intent that the reader may feel that this tribute is tempered with the restraint due to dealing with future events, and that it is not inspired by partisan bias.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Distinguished Men: With an Autobiography Two motives conspire to induce me to offer this book to the public: The first is to acquire the means of subsistence; the second is to add something to the stock of human knowledge and thereby increase human happiness; and while I do not expect to present any new truths, for that would imply a sepa rate creation, yet the manifestations of old truths are as various as the ever varying phases of nature; and these possess the interest of new truths. Man is said to be the universe in miniature; that there is no form of which he is not the type, no tone to which his being is not the response. The proper study then of mankind is man. Observation is the first fruitful source of knowledge regarding men, because in addition to the five senses which are channels of communi cation, we are endowed with spirit or mind, which is etherial, all-pervasive, and eternal. Biography is the next best source of information. It is not only the written life of man, it is also a record of human character. In the hands of a skillful artist it is a living image. Self-knowledge is the key to unlock the hidden knowledge of others. I shall therefore commence my work with an autobiographical sketch, adorned only with simple truth, which will constitute its chief merit. I am con scious of no desire for notoriety, I have outlived the love of fame, and if I had acquired fame when young, it would have killed me, as it has killed thousands in every age of the world. Autobiography is the highest source of personal knowledge, reminiscences next, biography third. And history last. In the first, we have the consciousness of our secret thoughts and actions; in the second, the visible form and apparent life; in the third, the record of human character; and in the fourth, a narrative of human events, the causes of whichare frequently left to conjecture. I shall endeavor to show that there are but few elementary principles in the character of man; that during the last two thousand years, but two individuals, Julius Caesar and George Washington, have pos sessed them in an eminent degree; that they are alike in all men, differing only in degree; and that there are but four such elementary principles: first, honesty of purpose second. Practical common sense; third, self-knowledge; fourth, self-government. In these elementary principles there is un varying unity; in their manifestations to the world. Under the in uence of surrounding circumstances, there is endless variety. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Noble Workers: A Book of Examples for Young Men There is no more important work than that of stimulating the minds of the young to exertion, that they may be effective workers, and discharge properly the responsibilities of their various spheres. The world needs workmen, brave and true; and every one should be ambitious to find his place and to fill it worthily. And of the means of stimulating the minds of youth, one of the most obvious and the most powerful is the living example. A good biography, presenting a striking portraiture of trials, struggles and successes, in actual life, comes like an inspiration to the young man who is just entering on the stage of the world, As he reads, compares and reflects, he feels the same spirit thrilling in his veins, and resolves bravely to enter the conflict, to battle with difficulty and opposition as others have battled, that, like them, he may win the crown of triumph and deserve the gratitude of his age and of the mankind. The names selected in this volume take a wide range, purposely, that every one may find an example in his own chosen sphere.

The gradual extension of learning by the printing-press, and its perfect enfranchisement by means of our free religious and political institutions, have produced a total change in the means of access to knowledge. Intelligent perseverance and industry may now sur mount ahnost every obstacle arising from humble birth and limited opportunities; and we are accordingly familiar, in the history of our most distinguished men, with instances of the greatest difficulties overcome, and the highest ranks of learning, genius, and social position achieved, by those who started surrounded by all the disadvantages of a humble sphere.
