Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Empire Builders Engine Number 206, narrow gauge, was pushing, or rather failing to push, the old-fashioned box-plow through the crusted drifts on the uptilted shoulder of Plug Mountain, at altitude ten thousand feet, with the mercury at twelve below zero. There was a wind - the winter day above timber-line without its wind is as rare as a thawing Christmas - and it cut like knives through any garmenting lighter than fur or leather. The cab of the 206 was old and weather-shaken, and Ford pulled the collar of his buffalo coat about his ears when the grunting of the exhaust and the shrilling of the wheels on the snow-shod rails stopped abruptly.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire Builders and Other Poems Said the West to the East of a nation, The fruit of your loins am I, And I claim no other birthright And I own no other tie But the bond that is fixed between us And the blood that is yours and mine Yet nurture the child that is born you, Ere other arms entwine. And the West in his youthful vigor, Wrought earnestly, soon and late, As he planted the seeds of Empire, And knotted the thongs of Fate; And the East in her home at the Gateway Mused long o'er the problem deep, For the harvest was ripe to the sickle But the reapers were fast asleep! And she said, In my western vineyard, Where the hope of my future lies. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Empire-Builders: A Course of Lectures These lectures - which may either be delivered verbatim, or serve as the quarry out of which school masters can hew their own materials - have been written with a twofold purpose first, to give some account of a few of the great men of the Empire and secondly, to suggest that the success of their work, whether consciously or unconsciously achieved, depended on certain qualities which all the builders possessed, though they combined them in varying proportions. King Alfred, by reason both of his station and his circumstances - and possibly also of his native genius - stands alone but I think that, because of the qualities which all had in common, any one of the last five could successfully have filled the posi tion and done the work of any of the others granted, of course, a similar training. Insight, promptitude, courage, tenacity, together with some conscience of what they did - these are the qualities which led the men of yesterday, and will lead the men of to-morrow, to the high places of the Universe and to the golden mountain-top where dwell the Spirits of the Dawn.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pillars of Empire: Studies and Impressions IN a book which is dedicated to Empire Builders it is obviously inexpedient to include mere politicians. Mere politicians are for the most part concerned with essentially minor interests. Most days they have to battle with various divisions of the political community violently divided in their aims and their theories - some of them active on purely party grounds, others animated by personal rivalry, none of them supremely anxious as to the general structure and mutual relations of that great aggre gate oi free nations which we call the British Empire. Though this would apply to the majority of those who make their voices heard in the House of Commons, or who employ their eloquence on pro vincial platforms, it would not be true, of course, of leaders, who are bound to have wider aims. If we look at the present position, which is obviously one of transition, we see that while nearly all the activities of Parliament are concerned with matters, so to speak, of internal policy, such as, to name the capital instance, the future relations of Ireland towards Great Britain, s.

Download or read book The Life of Sir Humphrey Gilbert England s First Empire Builder Classic Reprint written by William Gilbert Gosling and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Sir Humphrey Gilbert, England's First Empire Builder I feel assured that readers of this Life of Sir Humphrey Gilbert will wonder why such an interesting and important character had not before received the attention of historians. It came as a surprise to me, I remember, when I wished to get particulars of his voyage to New foundland, to find that no biography of england's first empire builder had been written, and I then determined to undertake the task myself. I had nearly completed my work when I learned that the Prince Society of Boston had published a life of Sir Humphrey Gilbert; but being intended for members of the Society only, it is out of the reach of the general reader. I have been at great pains and considerable expense to obtain all possible information on every detail of his career, and can conscientiously affirm that every possible source of knowledge has been explored. In this connec tion I beg to acknowledge my indebtedness to the Rev. Walter Raleigh Gilbert, of the Priory, Bodmin, Corn wall, for permission to examine his family records and papers. Mr. Gilbert is the direct lineal descendant of Sir Humphrey, and I had great hopes of obtaining some interesting new facts, although Mr. Gilbert warned me that he thought it very unlikely. The search was, unfor tunately, fruitless, but I am none the less indebted to Mr. Gilbert. I have also to thank him for permission to reproduce the portraits of Sir Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Walter Ralegh now in his possession. These are thought to be very early portraits if not actually contemporary, and have not hitherto been published.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thomas Coram: Churchman, Empire Builder and Philanthropist This sketch was outlined in a lecture delivered before the Theological Society of King's College, London, in October, 1917, and repeated in a revised form in November, at a public meeting of the Ladies' Association of the Royal Colonial Institute. The subject clearly evoked interest, and many of my bearers expressed a hope that the lecture would be published. In the form in which it now appears it has been possible to enlarge considerably the scope of the work; and several documents are now printed for the first time. Readers of Brownlow will see that I am much indebted to his - or rather Brocklesby's - summary; but I have, where possible, had recourse to original documentary and other sources, and my aim has been to use the available material in such a way as to give a comprehensive view of Coram's career as fully as it can, with our present knowledge, be traced.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Testaments, Vol. 3: The Testament of an Empire-Builder The Protagonist answered, 'i am dissatisfied with the Old songs and wish to sing new ones.' With that they held their peace and listened attentively, and Often with approval, because the new songs, like the old, contained many expres sions Of delight and hope. Besides it was exactly the superficial complexion Of things that this people, like most peoples, loved to contemplate. Wherefore when pain and terror, which are the blood and nerve, the entrails and inmost com plexion of the world, began more fully to inform the Protagonist's songs, the people bade him cease.
