Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hampshire Days Sometimes about noon the clouds grow thin in that part of the sky, low down, where the sun is, and a pale gleam of sunlight filters through; even a patch of lucid blue sky sometimes becomes visible for a while: but the light soon fades; after mid-day the dimness increases, and before long one begins to think that evening has come. Withal it is singularly mild. One could almost imagine in this season of mist and wet and soft airs in late November that this is a land where days grew short and dark indeed, but where Winter comes not, and the sensation of cold is nu known. It is pleasant to be out Of doors in such weather, to stand in the coloured woods listening to that autumn sound of tits and other little birds wan dering through the high trees in straggling parties, talking and calling to one another in their small sharp voices. Or to walk by the Boldre, or, as some call it, the Lymington, a slow, tame stream in summer, invisible till you are close to it; but now, in ood, the trees that grow on its banks and hid it in summer are seen standing deep in a broad, rushing, noisy river. The woodpecker's laugh has the same careless happy sound as in summer: it is scarcely light in the morning before the small wren pours out his sharp bright lyric outside my window; it is time, he tells me, to light my candle and get up. The starlings are about the house all day long, vocal even in the rain, carrying on their perpetual starling conversation - talk and song and recitative; a sort of bird-yiddish, with uty fragments of melody stolen from the black bird, and whistle and click and the music of the triangle thrown in to give variety. SO mild is it that in the blackness of night I sometimes wander into the forest paths and by furzy heaths and hedges to listen for the delicate shrill music of our late chirper in the thickets.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Open Air: An Anthology of English Country Life Another form of isolation has been brought by mo tors into country districts. One's circle of friends is no longer the circle of a ten-mile radius. On the contrary, one's circle of friends has small geographical reference. One friend is forty miles in one direction, another twenty-five miles in another, half-a-dozen are in Lon don, one in Hampshire and so on. Thus people living in a place may have no part in that place fundamentally, or in any place. Whereas in the old days whoever lived round about you, unless they were extremely difficult, you fitted into your circle of friendship. The more so cially gifted thus helped out the less, and the whole was leavened. Now, by more peremptory standards, we choose only those With whom we are 'in sympathy' the spontaneous functions of local life consequently de cay and the number of lonely old people must be le gion. Young people must earn their living in cities, so the country that is not within week - encl radius of Lon don is given up to the elderly and retired.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lisbeth Wilson: A Daughter of New Hampshire Hills UP in northern New Hampshire, on a delightful April morning of the sweet old days, a rosy child, with spring time buoyancy in every motion, climbed over the stone steps of a wall close by a pair of bars, sprang with-a hop, skip, and jump across a road, by a garden, to the front door of a house, turned, and watched a flock of sheep which she had just fed with corn and beans. One red-mittened hand held a wooden measure carelessly by its brim. She was Dorothy Wilson, seven years old, daughter to Thomas Wilson and his wife Martha, who owned the dwelling and farm around it. Curling locks of brown hair showed under a quilted red hood. Her long, full cloak of black-and-white checked flannel was gathered into a yoke around the shoulders. It blew back, disclosing a wine-colored flan nel gown and blue linen tier. Pantalets like the dress touched the instep of her high leather bootees. The unpainted house behind her was built at a fork of roads, well back from each. It was large, double, substantial, and faced south. It was slightly lapped on its northern side by a low shed, which ran easterly nearly to one road. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Forest In these modern days, when towns are increasing on every side, and the new idea of garden cities threatens to swallow up what little is left us of the true country, it is good to remember that in one quiet corner of Hampshire lies a sanctuary, a little region set apart with its own laws and customs for over eight centuries for the preservation of wild life. In our childhood we were taught to look upon the deed of Norman William with horror, as an iniquity perpetrated by an inhuman conqueror, and we spouted in the words of good Miss Smedley: "Oh Forest! green New Forest! Home of the bird and breeze, With all thy soft and sweeping glades, and long, dim aisles of trees, Like some ancestral palace thou standest proud and fair; Yet is each tree a monument to death and wild despair."

Download or read book Richard Pinkham of Old Dover New Hampshire and His Descendants East and West Classic Reprint written by Charles Nelson Sinnett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richard Pinkham of Old Dover, New Hampshire and His Descendants, East and West Rev. Dr. Quint has given this clear statement: Richard Pink ham appears to have been a man of good character, and had his share of public offices. The spot where he early dwelt is said to have been the same on which stood the Pinkham garrison, which Richard afterwards made into his habitation. The precise location of this is easily pointed out, inasmuch as it continued to be a dwelling-house until one side of it fell down seven and twenty years ago; that event rendered it necessary for the family to remove, which they did as soon as possible, into a new house standing about five rods from the old one. After passing the house of Hanson Roberts on Dover Neck the traveler will notice a lane on the west side of the' road leading towards the river. On the north side of this lane is a house now occupied by Elijah Pinkham, a man of more than eighty years, who owns land once owned by his ancestor, Richard. (after the death of this Elijah Pink ham in 1862, the house was occupied by Mr. Charles Thompson, who married Rose Pinkham; daughter of Elijah. This old home stead was after this owned by those not of the Pinkham line for a short time' it has lately been purchased by Mr. De Orville L. Pinkham.) About four rods west of this home of Elijah' Pink ham was the Pinkham garrison house, half of which was taken down about 'two years after the wind had demolished the other half. The spot on which the fortress stood in the ancient days a few months ago presented the aspect of a flourishing cabbage yard!

It holds no such wonders of achieve ment as that of Booker Washington; it follows no such romantic paths as those in which Jacob Riis has led us; it climbs to no such altitudes of dignity and power as those to which we have rejoiced to follow Carl Schurz. It will take us along country roads, and through the busy thoroughfares of cities; it will observe, and try to interpret, the life of all sorts and conditions of Ameri can men and women. Its interest, if it has any, Will not be found in any exploits of the narrator, but in whatever power he has possessed of looking sympathetically at the things he has seen and of accurately reporting them.

Download or read book Spinoza and Spinozism written by Stuart Hampshire and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-05-26 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the great thinkers of modern times, only Spinoza (1632-77) created a complete system of philosophy that rivals Plato's. Few other thinkers have felt so strongly 'the desire to have a unitary view of the world and of man's place within it' - a desire that led Spinoza to make crucial contributions to every major philosophical topic: the nature of knowledge and freedom, the existence of God, ethics and politics, mind and matter, pleasure and perception. In this new edition ofhis classic Spinoza (1951), with substantial new material added, the late Sir Stuart Hamsphire offers a masterly introduction to a supreme thinker, and to his enormous influence on philosophy as it has been practised since.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from They Live on a Rock in the Sea!: The Isles of Shoals in Colonial Days It would appear appropriate, likewise, that this narrative we are about to hear and the considerable research which it entailed should be undertaken by a younger member of the Society, who, although a Philadelphian, has been privileged to know coastwise New Hampshire and its adjacent Southern Maine since he was a small boy - and to become intrigued by the colorful and often romantic background of the Isles of Shoals. He comes naturally by an interest in the Sea and its lore, because his family during four generations were colonial Shipbuilders in Pennsylvania.

Without it the book could not have been written. More might have been sent forward, but the compiler has spared no pains to get what has been written, and it is enough to give a history of our organization. If we had waited we should have lost some part which we have gained. It is time that the history was written', for the comrades are fast passing away. Within the last two years four prominent members have died, and at this writ ing one whom we can least spare lies almost helpless between the two worlds.
