Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of Men of Letters and Science, Who Flourished in the Time of George III Though I could entertain no doubt that this plan was expedient, no one could more doubt than I did the capacity brought to its execution, or feel more dis trustful of the pen held by a hand which had so long been lifted up only in the contentions of the Senate and the Forum My only confidence was in the spirit of fairness and of truth with which I entered on the performance of the task; and I now acknowledge with respectful gratitude the favour which the work has hitherto, so far above its deserts, experienced from the public, both at home, in spite of party opposition, and abroad, where no such unworthy influence could have place. It is fit that I also express my equal satisfac tion at the testimony which has been borne to its strict impartiality by those whose Opinions, and the opinions of whose political associates, differed the most widely from my own. That in composing the work I never made any sacrifice of those principles which have ever guided my public conduct, is certain that I never concealed them in the course of the book is equally true nay, this has been made a charge against it, as if I was at liberty to write the history of my own times, nay, of transactions in many of which I had borne a forward part, and not show what my own sentiments had been on those very affairs. But if my opinions were not sacrificed to the fear that I. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of Men of Letters Time Science: Who Flourished in the Time of George III The general preface to the first volume renders it unnecessary to add anything introductory to the second, except for the purpose of calling the reader's attention to the following circumstances: - 1. Beside the Letters of Voltaire, communicated by Mr Stanford, and which were given in the former editions, there are some of his and one of Helvetius now inserted, which had been given in the French edition, having been kindly communicated by M. Feuillet, a gentleman of great respectability. 2. The family of La Beaumelle made strong representations against the manner in which he had been described, upon the authority of Voltaire's correspondence; and, after folly considering their statements, it appeared that in some material particulars an unjust account had been given, by Voltaire and his friends, of that person's history. Some change has therefore been made as to those particulars. 3. Of the judgment respecting Maupertuis's conduct no modification can be admitted. In that judgment there has long been an entire concurrence of all who have considered the facts. It appears that his merits as a mathematician had been rated somewhat below their just amount.

Download or read book Letters of George Wyndham 1877 1913 Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by George Wyndham and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of George Wyndham, 1877-1913, Vol. 1 Although a year has passed since George Wyndham died, his nearest relations and friends cannot yet realize their loss. There are men who give so much, who so completely satisfy the needs of others that they do not only influence the life of these others but become a part of it. Such men do not die to their friends. Conscious thought may realize their absence, but sub-conscious thought remains pervaded by their sympathy and continues as before to share with them every impression of beauty, action, or endeavour. It is not time but this continuity of sympathy that blunts the sting of separation. The preparation of these volumes has so fostered and maintained the sense of intimacy and companionship, that it is hoped that the reading of them may do the same for those for whom they have been prepared. George Wyndham's letters are not studied compositions, and for that reason they reflect his mind more truly than do his other writings, either in prose or verse. They supply an almost complete record of his every mood, his interests, his aspirations and his ideals. Living, he wished to share each impression of his full life with his friends; his letters enable us to share them still.

Perhaps the weather is fine where you are? Here, you might imagine it to be the end Of all things; the last fortnight has been one of storm and tempest I am quite ill through it. Fortunately my novel is completed; for, under the effect of the electricity with which the air is charged, I might have copied your de'nouement, and made M. Sylvestre kill his jade Of a wife. But he had not any such right, not being an artiste - that is to say, a man of. Impulse - but rather priding himself upon being a philosopher, that is to say, a man Of reflection. Your de'nouement must, at any rate, be considered the true one, since my good hero felt that, if he should again become enamoured of his wife, he would kill her.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Washington Spurious Letters: A Paper Read Before the Mount Vernon Society of Detroit I had stumbled upon a very rare and very famous, or rather infamous, publication, first issued in London and afterwards in this country by the Rivingtons and scattered broadcast over the land to put Washington before his countrymen in the light of a hypocrite; secretly opposed to the war and absolutely doubtful of its success; holding privately opinions totally at variance with his public position and duty as Commander-in-chief, and yet were these opinions so artfully intermingled with statements of actual facts connected with the distracted state of the country, and written with the air of one so entirely at home in the Washington household, it is not surprising that those not perfectly familiar with his absolute sincerity must have been greatly influenced; while in England the letters could not but strengthen the warlike policy of King George and his cabinet.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An American Man of Letters: George Horton, the Negro Poet At length the silver queen begins to rise, And Spread her glowing mantle in the skies, And from the smiling chambers of the east, Invites the eye to her resplendent feast. The poet begged a blue-backed spelling book, and from this learned his letters, with what assistance no one ever knew. Later he learned to spell by matching the words in his hymnal, which he already knew by heart and by sight, with the words in the spelling book. In this way, he learned to read his Bible. Thus, entirely unaided by instruction, he learned to read and made. The acquaintance of grammar and prosody, acquiring a simple straightforward style, and writ ing good idiomatic English.

The pens of his opponents have been dipped in gall, overflowing in ebullitions of ill-will, misrepresentations, unfounded conclusions, and false reports and, the writers being men of mark and of talent, very erroneous impressions have been made on the public mind, which must be disabused; and to this task I have addressed myself, with no wish to provoke hostility, but with a strong desire that the truth should be known.

His Excellency says he is more than ever of opinion that the absolute disposal of the several offices of the revenue, subject to the control of the Treasury in England, should be placed in his hands. He is the more confirmed in that opinion from the great weight some of the Commissioners have been. Able to exert over several members who are officers under them. Asks if there are not some in the different branches of the services who ought to be marked out as particular objects of His Majesty's displeasure. On the other hand, there are men of the first abilities, integrity, and property, who have supported the Govern ment, who can be recommended to His Majesty as servants to carry on the public business with safety and credit. Is anxious that the Earl of Tyrone, and his brother Mr. John Beresford, and others, should have some mark of the Royal favour. (pp. 335.
