It is the Globe, I think, which defines this species of combat and the ignoble scenes that ensue, as a carnival of brutality. The Morning Star also stigmatises them. But see what is the power of a general passion. The Morning Star found itself unable to give vent to its indignation in less than four Whole columns - pretty certain, as envious tongues declare, that the sale of a number in which no detail was omitted, could not fail to be enormous.

This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Correspondence on the Present Relations Between Great Britain and the United States of America The change has been particularly sad to me'and my friends, who had formed interesting friendships in what they loved to look upon as the mother-country. I know that I must have loved you, wherever I might have met you; but I doubt not that my friendship for you and others was heightened by the sentiment that we were of one race, and that our countries, in the chief essentials of Christian civilization (at least so far as New England was concerned), were the same. England was to me a hallowed spot; and I looked for ward to another visit there as among the hepes of the future. My whole intercourse with your countrymen had led me to believe that there was a cordial good will towards us, which every man should do his utmost to cultivate and extend. The consciousness of sup posed superiority, which few of them know how to conceal, and many are not aware of as appearing in their manners, sometimes amused, but never offended me; and, until ten months ago, no passport to my hospitality, - humble indeed, but hearty, and to that of my friends generally, was more sure than an introduction as a gentleman from England. This feeling had been of late growing throughout our country with surprising rapidity and strength. It was exhibited (i should have thought unmistakably) in the universal gratification expressed throughout the land in the opportunity to evince our national good will in the restoration of the Arctic ship the Reso lute in sending an expedition in search of Sir John Franklin; in raising our flags at half-mast when Ha velock fell; in contributions for Ireland; and in the reception of your Prince, which no observer could mistake as a popular excitement for a pageant merely, instead of seeing In it the exhibition of a downright hearty good-will to your Queen and people. Had She landed on our Shores, it would have been more feel ingly demonstrated; and no monarch, at home, could receive an ovation more grateful to a' generous and noble heart than she would have met with here.

This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Correspondence of King George the Third With Lord North, Vol. 2 of 2: From 1768 to 1783; Edited From the Originals at Windsor, With an Introduction and Notes The raid of Lexington and the battle of Bunker's Hill had irri tated, rather than aroused, the King, his ministers, and his subjects, without opening their eyes to the real nature of the war. On the other hand, these actions had excited some hopes and dispelled some fears on the part of the insurgents. Troops which looked well on parade, and which in regular combat against French or Spanish armies would have been formidable, were comparatively inefficient against an enemy who broke or was ignorant of the rules of civilised warfare. It had already become evident that a thousand of these lambs would not, as had been predicted, run before a handful of these lions. Something besides pipeclayed belts and well-pow dered clubs was wanted to cower and crush this rabble. Neither did England take into account that, while her ministers dallied with the war, and her representatives for the most part uttered very brafe but not wise worts on the hustings and in parliament, the Americans were thoroughly in earnest and kindling into the same heat which some hundred years before had animated the yeo manry of England against Rupert and his chivalry.

Book Fors Clavigera  Vol  2

Download or read book Fors Clavigera Vol 2 written by John Ruskin and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fors Clavigera, Vol. 2: Letters to the Workmen and Labourers of Great Britain On the thirteenth shelf of the south bookcase of my home-library, stand, first, Kenelm Digby's Broad Stone of Honour, then, in five volumes, bound in red, the "history of the ingenious gentleman, Don Quixote of La Mancha;" and then, in one volume, bound in green, a story no less pathetic, called the Mirror of Peasants. Its author does not mean the word "mirror" to be understood in the sense in which one would call Don Quixote the "Mirror of Chivalry;" but in that of a glass in which a man - beholding his natural heart, may know also the hearts of other men, as, in a glass, face answers to face. The author of this story was a clergyman; but employed the greater part of his day in writing novels, having a gift for that species of composition as well as for sermons, and observing, though he gave both excellent in their kind, that his congregation liked their sermons to be short, and his readers, their novels to be long. Among them, however, were also many tiny novelettes, of which, young ladies, I to-day begin translating for you one of the shortest; hoping that you will not think the worse of it for being written by a clergyman.

Book Revolutionary Feminist Narratives and Perspectives on the Italian Risorgimento

Download or read book Revolutionary Feminist Narratives and Perspectives on the Italian Risorgimento written by Sharon Worley and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study extends from the Neapolitan Revolution of 1799 to the first unification of Italy in 1861, and presents insights into the work of feminist authors who responded to the Italian Risorgimento in their writings, including novels, poetry and non-fiction political analyses. The narratives of these women form a cohesive view of emerging feminism in the nineteenth century in response to the Italian Risorgimento. A number of American and British women who lived in Italy (Emma Hamilton, Margaret Fuller and Elizabeth Barrett Browning), as well as Italian women (Eleonora Fonesca Pimentel and Cristina Belgiojoso), participated directly in the developing events of the Risorgimento revolutions for Italian independence and unification, while British, French and American authors who travelled to Italy, including Mary Shelley, George Sand, Marie d’Agoult (Daniel Stern) and Edith Wharton joined their cause and rallied support for democracy, civic justice and gender equality. These authors promoted gender equality through their feminist narratives and political analyses of the Italian Risorgimento.

Book Archaeologists in Print

Download or read book Archaeologists in Print written by Amara Thornton and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2018-06-25 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeologists in Print is a history of popular publishing in archaeology in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a pivotal period of expansion and development in both archaeology and publishing. It examines how British archaeologists produced books and popular periodical articles for a non-scholarly audience, and explores the rise in archaeologists’ public visibility. Notably, it analyses women’s experiences in archaeology alongside better known male contemporaries as shown in their books and archives. In the background of this narrative is the history of Britain’s imperial expansion and contraction, and the evolution of modern tourism in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. Archaeologists exploited these factors to gain public and financial support and interest, and build and maintain a reading public for their work, supported by the seasonal nature of excavation and tourism. Reinforcing these publishing activities through personal appearances in the lecture hall, exhibition space and site tour, and in new media – film, radio and television – archaeologists shaped public understanding of archaeology. It was spadework, scripted. The image of the archaeologist as adventurous explorer of foreign lands, part spy, part foreigner, eternally alluring, solidified during this period. That legacy continues, undimmed, today. Praise for Archaeologists in Print This beautifully written book will be valued by all kinds of readers: you don't need to be an archaeologist to enjoy the contents, which take you through different publishing histories of archaeological texts and the authors who wrote them. From the productive partnership of travel guide with archaeological interest, to the women who feature so often in the history of archaeological publishing, via closer analysis of the impact of John Murray, Macmillan and Co, and Penguin, this volume excavates layers of fascinating facts that reveal much of the wider culture of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The prose is clear and the stories compulsive: Thornton brings to life a cast of people whose passion for their profession lives again in these pages. Warning: the final chapter, on Archaeological Fictions, will fill your to-be-read list with stacks of new titles to investigate! This is a highly readable, accessible exploration into the dynamic relationships between academic authors, publishers, and readers. It is, in addition, an exemplar of how academic research can attract a wide general readership, as well as a more specialised one: a stellar combination of rigorous scholarship with lucid, pacy prose. Highly recommended!' Samantha Rayner, Director of UCL Centre for Publishing; Deputy Head of Department and Director of Studies, Department of Information Studies, UCL

Book Charles Stewart Parnell and His Times

Download or read book Charles Stewart Parnell and His Times written by N. C. Fleming and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-07-06 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Stewart Parnell (1846-1891) wrote remarkably little about himself, but he has attracted the attention of many writers, politicians, and scholars, both during his lifetime and ever since. His controversial and provocative role in Irish and British affairs had him vilified as a murderer in The Times, and afterwards dramatically vindicated by the Westminster Parliament. It cast him as a romantic hero to the young James Joyce, and a self-serving opportunist to the journalists of the Nation. Parnell has been the subject of court cases, parliamentary enquiries and debates, journalism, plays, poems, literary analysis and historical studies. For the first time all these have been collected, catalogued and cross-referenced in one volume, an invaluable resource for scholars of late nineteenth century Ireland and Britain. Divided into fifteen chapters, including a biographical sketch, the volume contains information on manuscript and archival collections, printed primary sources, Parnell's writing, Parnell's speeches in the House of Commons and outside Parliament, contemporary journalism, contemporary writing, and contemporary illustrations on Irish affairs, and a substantial list of scholarly work, including biographies, books, articles, chapters, and theses. This volume offers readers a clear record of the substantial material already available on Parnell, and in doing so offers resources to future research in this area.
