Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Falkland In the character of Falkland I have wished to show that all virtue is weak, and that all wisdom is unavail ing, where there is no pervading and fixed principle to become at once our criterion for every new variation of conduct, and our pledge for pursuing, if we have once resolved to adopt it. Nor is it only in the general plot, but in the scattered reflections it embraces, that I have attempted to realize what ought to be the grand object of all human compositions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Battle of the Falkland Islands: Before and After This plain, unvarnished account, so far as is known, is the first attempt that has been made to link with the description of the Falkland Islands battle, fought on December 8th, 1914, the events leading up to that engagement. In order to preserve accuracy as far as possible, each phase presented has been read and approved by officers who participated. The personal views expressed on debatable subjects, such as strategy, are sure to give rise to criticism, but it must be remembered that at the time of writing the exact positions of the ships engaged in overseas operations were not fully known, even in the Service. The subject falls naturally into three divisions: Part I. deals briefly with the movements of British and German warships, and includes the duel fought by the Carmania, and the action that took place off Coronel. Part II. describes the Falkland Islands battle itself, and the subsequent fate of the German cruiser Dresden. Part III. contains the official dispatches bearing on these exploits.

Download or read book Falkland And Zicci Classic Reprint written by Edward Bulwer Lytton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Falkland, And, Zicci In the next place, the considerations which would naturally guide an author of established reputation in the selection of early compositions for subsequent te publication, are obviously inapplicable to the preparation of a posthumous standard edition of his collected works. Those who read the tale of Falkland in 1827 have long survived the age when character is influenced by the literature of sentiment. The readers to whom it is now presented are not Lord Lytton's contemporaries they are his posterity. To them his works have already become classical. It is only upon the minds of the young that the works of sentiment have any appreciable moral influence. But the sentiment of each age is peculiar to itself 3 and the purely moral influence of sentimental fiction seldom survives the age to which it was first addressed. The youngest and most impressionable reader of such works as the Nouvelle Helmse, ' Werther, ' The Robbers, ' Corinne, ' or Rene, ' is not now likely to be morally influenced, for good or ill, by the perusal of those masterpieces of genius. Had Byron attained the age at which great authors most realise the respon sibilities of fame and genius, he might possibly have regretted, and endeavoured to suppress, the publication of Don Juan but the possession of that immortal poem is an unmixed benefit to posterity, and the loss of it would have been an irreparable misfortune.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coronel and the Falkland Islands The Glasgow swept round to northward, calling to the flagship with her wireless. Von Spec, anticipating this move, at once set his wireless in operation, in order to jamb the British signals. Captain Luce soon picked up the M oumouth and the Otranto, and the three ships raced northwards towards the flagship, the Glasgow leading. At about five o'clock the Good Hope was seen approaching. The three ships wheeled into line behind her, and the whole squadron now proceeded south. Von Spec, coming up from that direction in line ahead, about twelve miles ofi, changed his course and also proceeded south, keeping nearer to the coast. The wind was now blowing almost with the force of a hurri cane. So heavy was the sea that small boats would have been unable to keep afloat. But the sky was not completely overcast, and the sun was shining. Firing had not opened. The washing of the seas and the roaring of the wind deafened the a r to other sounds. The warship of to-day, when her great turbines are whirling round at their highest speed, moves without throb and almost without vibration through the waves. The two squadrons, drawing level, the Germans nearer to the coast, raced in the teeth of the gale, in two parallel lines, to the south.
