Download or read book Devonshire Idyls Classic Reprint written by H. C. O'Neill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Devonshire Idyls Impressionists of the new school, reading their own melancholy into a humanity they look at with a half contemptuous pity, would fain have us believe that life is scarcely worth living on any terms - certainly not, when money is short, and food means daily toil, and the care of children interferes with preconceived notions of love and pleasure. In these days of hurry and competition, there is no doubt that the art and joy of humble life, as Ruskin puts it, is in danger of being lost from among us. Half a century ago, there were traces of such an art existing in many a Devonshire home, where dwelt simple country folk lapped in sweet content. These tales relate some of the incidents of those bygone times. They would have no merit if they were not absolutely true, except in unessential details of name and place.

Download or read book Memorials of Old Devonshire Classic Reprint written by F. J. Snell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorials of Old Devonshire The Editor takes this opportunity of rectifying two omissions in his preliminary sketch. Owing to some accident, he failed to refer to the defence of Dartmouth against the attack of Du Chastel in 1404. This event was memorable on account of the active part taken by the women, who, Amazon-like, hurled Hints and pebbles on the French, and thus expedited their retirement. The other omission concerns the abortive Cavalier rising of 1655. Penruddock and Groves, the leaders in the afiair (for which they suffered death at Exeter), were both Wiltshire men, but it is certainly interesting that an attempt which might have antedated the Restoration by five years was initiated by the proclamation of Charles II. At South Molton - a town of the county of which George Monk, to whom the Merry Monarch owed his crown, was a native.

Download or read book Bygone Years written by F. Leveson Gower and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bygone Years: Recollections T has been often remarked that few men above the age of eighty retain any activity of mind. Although I have long passed that age, I do not perceive that my mind, which was never active, is less so than it was. What is gradually failing me is memory, and if I am to relate a few incidents of my life, I must do so at once. I cannot attempt to write an autobiography, but merely to jot down some recollections which may be found of interest. It is curious how uncertain memory becomes at an advanced age. Whilst I remember a number of unimportant events, I find it difficult to call to mind the broad outlines of my life. I can, therefore, only offer a disconnected account of it, for which I crave the indulgence of any one who may be inclined to glance over these pages. It may be extended to me because the whole of these recollections have been written since I attained my eighty-sixth birthday, and because I possess no notes or journals to assist me, except those from which I have taken descriptions of Spain, India and Russia, which I wrote at the request of my uncle, the Duke of Devonshire.

Download or read book Poetical Letters Tu Es Brither Jan and a Witch Story written by Nathan Hogg and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poetical Letters Tu Es Brither Jan and a Witch Story: Tea, Old Humman Way Tea, Urd Cloke, Ur Tea Evil Eye, in the Devonshire Dialect The success which has attended the publication of "Nathan Hogg's Letters" in the two former Editions, has induced the Author to present them to the public on the third occasion in an amended form. - In the first place it may be stated that the Epistles to his respected relative were originally written without even the remotest idea of their being published beyond the limits of a Newspaper column; there were consequently many allusions to public abuses, which, tho' having the desired effect at the time, it is considered undesirable to reproduce in the present edition. The object of the Author is simply to record the idioms and phrases of the vernacular of the county in which he was born, and in a form best calculated to exhibit that quaint humour and native wit with which the "Countryman" of Devon is so largely embued. With this view some letters have been omitted, others added, the Vocabulary enlarged, and "last, not least," Nathan having ventured on an extended path of literature, presents his admiring friends with the result in the shape of a Witch Story!

Download or read book Toronto of Old written by Henry Scadding and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 1987-01-10 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1873, Henry Scadding, former rector of Toronto’s Church of the Holy Trinity, wrote the definitive history of early Toronto. His detailed portrait of the streets, customs and prominent citizens is a goldmine of sights and insights into a Toronto long-since disappeared. Toronto of Old was first reprinted in 1966 and has been out of print since 1973. The later version, edited by Frederick H. Armstrong is shorter than the original, with Scadding’s references to outside cities and characters shortened or omitted to give the book a sharper focus on Toronto. This second edition is an updated and corected version of the 1966 edition. The best history of Toronto ever written, "Toronto of Old" by Henry Scadding, has just been edited by Professor F.H. Armstrong of the University of Western Ontario ... Armstrong’s editing, with his written reasons for a series of cuts, has made it a tighter and more informative book than the original. - Gordon Sinclair in Let’s Be Personal
