Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroines of the Crusades Jerusalem, the capital of Palestine, whether glorious in the beauty of her first temple, and the excellent wisdom of her philosopher king, or veiled in the darkness of that fatal eclipse in which the solemn scenes of Calvary consummated her glory and shame, has occupied a position in the great drama of human events, more interesting and important than any other city on the globe. But Jerusalem, in the gloom of that moral night which gathered over the nations after the fall of the Western Empire of the Romans, exerted a greater in uence upon the minds of men than at any for mer period. The insulting Moslem felt a degree of veneration for the splendid ruins over which he walked with all a conqueror's pride - the African anchorite left his solitary hermitage to weep upon Mount Olivet - the European adventurer wreathed his staff with the branch ing palm from her holy hills - the despairing Jew sat in sackcloth at her fallen gates, and even the mingled barbarians of the East united with the Christian to revere the spot where art achieved its proudest monument, and poetry found the theme of its sublimest song.

Download or read book Memories of the Crusade written by Eliza Daniel Stewart and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of the Crusade: A Thrilling Account of the Great Uprising of the Women of Ohio in 1873, Against the Liquor Crime In presenting this book to the public, the publishers desire to say: - 1st. As to its merit: It is thrillingly interesting in its matter, and deeply instructive in its lessons. Its style is easy and natural - good English, enriched by vigorous Anglo-Saxon. It contains some imperfections - the perfect book has not yet been published. But the manner and matter of this book are such as to make it worthy of a place in every public or private library. 2nd. As to the subject "The Crusade: " There has perhaps not occurred during the present century, if during any century since the first of the Christian era, any movement that has been more wonderful in its phenomena and its operations, and extensive in its general results, than the "Woman's Temperance Crusade." It was the cradle of new views of Home and its relations to Government, and a thousand statutes have been modified, or repealed, or made new, as the result of the influences started in the Crusade. Millions of people have changed their views on the position of woman. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union has been organized, with 200,000 members and more than thirty departments of work for women. Hundreds of avenues for the employment of women have been opened, largely as the result of discussions which grew out of the Crusade. So that in stores and business establishments alone, we presume there are a million places occupied by women and girls now that were occupied by men before the Crusade. We can only hint at the results of the Crusade in this statement. To write a complete history of such a warfare in all its ramifications cannot be done. Many have attempted to "write up the Crusade."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Assassins: A Romance of the Crusades It was not the juice of the grape alone that had been given to the Assassins, but spices had been added and also haschisch. The potent drug began to work; dull eyes kindled, a strange exaltation possessed them. Their senses were quickened, they felt their strength swell, and they shrieked their battle-songs, clashing their scimitars on their shields. The visages of many were seamed with scars, which changed color as the wine fired their blood, and they boasted of their wounds, while those who had no mark to point to dyed their forearms in the lees so as to look more fierce.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crusaders, Vol. 2 of 2: Or, Scenes, Events, and Characters, From the Times of the Crusades The flattering reception which the first volume of the crusaders, ' destitute of novelty as the subject might appear to be, has met with, causes the appear ance of the present volume, which like the former embraces the space of about half a century. In this the narrative is carried down to the taking of J eru salem by sultan Saladin, and terminates with the crusade headed by Philip Augustus and Richard Caeur de Lion. At this point also the work con eludes. It was not designed to be a complete history of the Crusades, and the writer therefore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Legends of Lampidosa, or the Seven Heroines Another awful pause was broken by our scheming brother's exclamations. "Eurekas, I have found it! Never had Archimedes himself greater reason to rejoice in a discovery! In this portfolio is a piece of oriental music, in which every sound is expressed by a corresponding image, and ever concord or discord in it forms a picturesque groupe. Let us borrow the old Brahmin's idea, and obtain a patent for publishing sonatas in the shape of landscapes. A purling stream might indicate a succession of soft notes; a forest thick with innumerable leaves would represent the difficulties of a fine chromatic passage; and a full thundercloud behind might express the sublime burst of sound usual at a grand finale." "Certainly," said Clanharold, "the sister arts of music and painting might be beautifully blended by associating lovely forms with ideas of melody; but the specimen of ancient Hindoo harmony seems to suggest an improvement on Lavater's system. Might you not obtain a more profitable patent by devising a gamut of human faces expressing the gradations of intellect and beauty?" "Many thanks for the hint, Brother Poet. And as bass and treble notes admirably shew the contrast between the shrill sounds of female eloquence and the growlings of deep masculine wisdom, we might contrive an instructive example of the concords and discords resulting from both united. For this purpose, I have already sketched a gamut of faces exhibiting the seven stages of spleen, as displayed in our own fraternity, with an accompaniment composed of seven female heads whose scornful beauty affords a tolerable excuse for us." We all gathered round this whimsical caricature - "These fair heads," continued Philowhim, "which I have placed according to nature, an octave lower in the scale than ours, arc borrowed from a certain institution established by seven wealthy spinsters. They reside in a romantic secbision, admit no strangers, and amuse themselves with collecting all the legends left in favor of their sex by historians of seven nations. But as the compilation of so many female heads required adjusting, they inquired for a confidential amanuensis to transcribe it. I was a candidate for the task, and had the felicity of a moments glance at seven heads which would have been worth a thousand pounds to Drs. Gall and Spurzheim." "Pray," said Sir Pertinax, surveying them through his eye-glass, "is the office of secretary vacant now?" "O most probably. King Boleslaus, who employed a hundred clerks, or Cardinal Dubois, who hired one merely to scold at, never gave an amanuensis more trouble.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crusaders: A Story of the Women's Temperance Movement of 1873-74 Already many who could have given testimony in regard to it have passed from earth; and the gray hair and failing strength Of many others are silent monitors Of the voiceless grave. A nation that prays to God, day after day, to spare the life of its wounded chief magistrate, must believe in an overruling Providence; and a people that SO believes must be willing, at least, to take into consideration such religious experiences as may serve to illustrate a call that conforms to Bible teachings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Merle's Crusade I pondered this question heavily before I summoned courage to speak to' Aunt Agatha. To my surprise she listened to me very quietly, though her soft brown eyes grew a little misty - I did so love Aunt Agatha's eyes. Dear, she said, very gently, I wish this could have been prevented; but, for my husband's sake, I dare not throw cold water on your plan. I can not deny that he has had a heavy loss, and that we have to be very careful. I would keep you with me if I could, Merle, for you are just like my own child, but Ezra is not young; and here Aunt Agatha's forehead grew puckered with anxiety. Oh, Aunt Agatha, I exclaimed, quite forgetting the gravity of my proposition in sudden, childish annoyance.
