Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Old Cambridge So great are the changes in the town since my childhood that the aspects and conditions of those days seem more than a lifetime away. I have the happiness of passing my old age in the house in which I was born. It has always been my home; but when I was a boy, it was in the country now it is suburban and in the heart of a city. Kirkland Street was a country road with not a single house on its southern side, but with a wide stretch quite over to Harvard Street of marsh land and huckleberry pasture, with chan nels running through the thick growth of shrubs, Often frozen in the winter, and on which we boys used to skate over the very site of the building in which we have met to - night.

This book was released on 2017-01-18 with total page 1068 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cambridge Modern History, Vol. 12: The Latest Age The period of history with which this volume deals presents many obvious difficulties to the historian. Living in a crowded and circum scribed fragment of a fraction of the world which he is attempting to describe, he must transport himself by imagination to some higher sphere whence the nations and their fortunes may be seen to range themselves in intelligible perspective. Writing under the influence of momentary and transitory impressions, he must free himself from their bondage and pay homage to the future and the past. He must endeavour to see this world, not as it affects the prejudices, interests, and limited outlook of his contemporaries, but as it might appear to one who should look back on it without any personal concern in its turmoil. Only partial success is possible; but he may console himself for partial failure with the belief that he is handing down to posterity one of those records of contemporary impressions which history is bound to respect if only they be sincere, impartial, and accurately informed. Sources of information are not lacking. Secret history, such as is included in confidential papers and private correspondence, remains, for the most part, unrevealed. Rumours and false reports cannot yet be controlled or checked. But in the abundance of contemporary literature, solid as well as ephemeral, lies the answer to nine-tenths of all the historical problems relating to this age which will ever receive even an approximate solution. We are, in many ways, more amply instructed about our own time than we are in the affairs of any other age; the main difficulty lies in the fact that hardly a beginning has been made in the sorting, sifting, arranging, and summarising of the bewildering mass of accessible knowledge. With these difficulties we and our contributors have done our best to cope. A chapter on the foreign relations of the United States during the great Civil War finds a place in this volume, since it was observed that these relations had been insufficiently explained in the American volume (vol. And further elucidation was needed for the clear understanding of the Alabama question, which looms large in the opening years of our period. An introductory chapter deals with the larger aspects of world history in the period, and five chapters at the close of the volume treat of those movements that are most distinctive of the latter part of the nineteenth century: the development of an international code of law.

Download or read book Old Cambridge and New Classic Reprint written by Thomas C. Amory and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Cambridge and New This brief sketch of a few among the memorable antiquities of Cambridge was published in the July number of the New-England Historical and Genealogical Register. Under the impression that it may possess some interest for a wider circle than the readers of that Journal, with the consent of the editor it is now issued in a separate form. Some few additional particulars which have since been collected or which it seemed desirable to mention with a view to obtaining more full information with regard to them for future use, have been appended. Circumstances altogether accidental first attracted the attention of the writer to the by-gones of New-England. Being in some respects favorably placed for the study of the subject, he listened rather to his own taste and inclination than to the suggestion forced constantly upon his mind that there were other antiquarians in the community far better qualified than himself to do it justice. He is not unmindful of what they have accomplished, or many more who have already finished their course. lie realizes that their abundant knowledge and superior ability have only been restrained by innate modesty and conscientious thoroughness from the field upon which he has ventured. Nothing indeed but the profoundest conviction that valuable information with regard to former days is constantly passing out of mind which future generations will be glad to possess and which no one else shows any disposition to preserve, could make him bold enough to brave the censure of the critical in lending a helping hand to rescue it from oblivion. All are ready to admit that private life, with its varied interests and pursuits, is an important subject for study, not of course entitled to the same consideration as the course of political events, the province of the regular historian, but both alike contributing to a thorough knowledge of the past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cambridge Staircase The English is loose in places: I hope, however, that the sense is. Clear enough to convey what is intended, and that is more than can always, I think, be said of some even of the anti-posthumous works Of the present day; and there are one or two Cambridge expressions which are fallacious: these last are purely printer's errors, and the assistance Of a Cambridge man, if he is anywhere about, must be called in to set them right. There are, too, passages in the book which I should have preferred to have altered altogether, for reasons which my more intimate friends will understand, and which have arisen since the sketches were originally written these must be read by those friends with mercy, and they must not judge me by them.

Download or read book Cambridge Gild Records Classic Reprint written by Cambridge Antiquarian Society and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cambridge Gild Records The traces of craft gilds at Cambridge are scanty: this was not due to the absence of artisans; the shearmen in Shearers' Row and the wool-combers, who held a procession on St Blaise's day, have left their traces, but there does not appear to have been any local gild or company in connection with the clothing trade. Some Skinners had indeed formed a gild of their own in honour of St Katherine, but they made no effort to keep the membership or management of the gild entirely in the hands of men of their own craft, and they do not seem to have contemplated any trade objects in founding their society. It is possible that the existence of the University, and the rights of market supervision which it possessed, interfered with the development of bodies of townsmen, under municipal au thority, for the purpose of mutual supervision. It is interesting to notice that, however widely diffused and common the practice of association for common objects might be, consider able pains were taken to control it and that while towns were vigilant in permitting the existing or overhauling the proposed regulations of such bodies as professed to regulate trade, the ecclesiastical authorities were on the alert to protect the parishioners from the intrusion of private corporations in the use of the churches of the town. The most clearly defined line which we can hope to draw between merely 'social' gilds and 'religious' or 'craft' gilds, is likely to be found by noting the purpose for which any particular body desired to obtain special powers, and the nature of the public authority which it had to approach in order to secure them.
