This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences and Sketches, Historical and Biographical But while his contemporaries say he used his sarcasm cruelly at times, struck with venom as if he hated his fellowmen, they bear undivided testimony to many acts of generosity and kindness to the poor and needy, and that he was genial and attractive to young men. When Mr. Pu, lately one of the leaders of the Lancaster county bar, first went to Lancaster, as a young man, he had letters of introduction to F. And Stevens. F. Discouraged him from settling there and repelled him with coldness. Stevens met him pleasantly; said it was a good place for a thorough young lawyer, and at the first court came stumping into his office and asked him to go into a case with him; said he wanted to see the stud he was made of.

They are most considerable in the memoirs of steele and foote and in the latter more especially an attempt by means of them has been made to render more complete the picture of a series of comic writings, which are not more remarkable for character and wit than for their vivid and humorous presentment of English vices and foibles in the later half of the eighteenth century, but which accidental causes may probably for ever shut out from the place they might have claimed to occupy in the literature of England.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An American Biographical and Historical Dictionary To a majestic countenance and dignified manners there was add ed a suavity of temper, which conciliated the affection of his ao quaintance. Some, who disapproved of his political conduct, lov ed and revered him as a neighbor and friend. He could readily relax from severer cares and studies to enjoy the pleasures of pri vate conversation.

He faithfully dis charged the duties arising from the relations of social life. His house was the seat of domestic peace, regularity, and method.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woodrow Wilson: The Man and His Work, a Biographical Study In this work I have tried to give a systematic account of what Woodrow Wilson has done, and of the principles on which he acts. The latter is really the more important, for information without insight is of little value and indeed may be a disadvantage. Besides recounting events I have therefore endeavored to exhibit them in their bearing upon the public welfare, apart from considerations of party advantage; and also to point out their constitutional significance. These are the things that count in the reckonings of history; these are the things that ought to determine present judgement; these are the things I have had in mind in writing this biography.

Download or read book History of English Literature written by William Francis Collier and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of English Literature: In a Series of Biographical Sketches Books into the framework formed by the accession of om Sovereigns, I have adopted a purely literary division. Selecting such great landmarks as the Birth of Chaucer, and the Introduction of Printing, I find that Ten Eras, each possessing a very distinct character, will embrace every name of note, from the oldest Celtic bards to Tennyson and Carlyle. The pre-english Era takes a rapid view of British books and book-makers before the birth of Chaucer, about whose day the true English Literature began to exist. In the nine remaining Eras an entire chapter is devoted to each greatest name, writers of less mark being grouped together in a closing section. Short illustrative specimens, intended mainly to form the basis of lessons on variety of style, are appended to all the leading lives. Since names that cannot be passed over grow very thick towards the end, the closing chapters of the last two Eras have been arranged upon a plan which prevents confusion, and, by the use of Supplement ary Lists, admits the mention of many authors who must otherwise have been left out. The method of the entire book aims at enabling a student to perceive at a glance the relative importance of certain authors, so that his reading may be either confined to the lives of our great Classics, or extended through the full range of our Literature, without much risk of confusion or mistake as to proportionate great ness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays Historical and Biographical No sooner had the news of my brother's death spread last November than several requests were made that a selection of his sermons should be published. One friend, however, suggested that, as he had in a pre eminent degree the gift of sketching character and setting it forth with its surroundings, a volume of sketches should be issued first. The following have been selected from among many more. From the time when he studied in Berlin under Neander till his latest days he cultivated this gift. He lived among the heroes of the past, and yet no man ever took a deeper interest in the men around him. Goethe said of Shakespeare's characters that they are like watches with transparent faces. You not only see the hands pointing to the dial, but you see the working of the machinery inside. Much of the same nature are the sketches in this volume. We have included sketches of reformers, of missionaries, of poets, and of cotemporaries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Makers of America Vol 3 written by Florida Historical Society and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-03 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Makers of America, Vol. 3: An Historical and Biographical Work by an Able Corps of Writers In 1741, Seabrooke's description Of St. Simon's Island men tions the fact that the soldiers Of General Oglethorpe's regiment planted small plots of land near their camps in cotton, which, when gathered, their wives spun and knit into stockings. In 1749, we read that the London Trustees Of Georgia objected to the colonists spinning and weaving their cotton, because such a custom might interfere with the cotton manufacturers Of Great Britain. This West India cotton, however, bore little resemblance to the present Sea Island product. The first authentic record of the introduction Of Sea Island cotton (as we now know it) was in 1768, when seed was sent from the Bahama Islands to Governor Tattnall and James Spalding, and was by them introduced into Georgia. Referring to this seed it is stated: The cotton adapted itself to the climate and every successive year from 1787 saw long-stapled cotton extending itself along the shores Of Georgia and South Carolina. Richard Leake, Of Savannah, was probably the first man to plant Sea Island cotton, and in 1788, sent samples to Philadelphia, mentioning in his letter Of the advice that he would raise 5000 pounds on eight acres, and also stating that he found great difficulty in cleaning the cotton from the seed.

Soon after brother's death a number called for his biography, which would have been written by one more competent, but, for kindly considerations, the task was left for me; that is why it was never done. I thought to furnish a series of sketches that would partially answer all these de mands. I decided that a few months would give suf ficient time in which to compile material that would furnish some future historian, who had more time and means than I have, the data for a more exacting history; but the months passed into years and the work not done.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from True Stories From History and Biography In writing this ponderous tome, the author's desire has been to describe the eminent characters and remarkable events of our annals in such a form and style that the young may make acquaintance with them of their own accord. For this purpose, while ostensibly relating the adventures of a chair, he has endeavored to keep a distinct and unbroken thread of authentic history. The chair is made to pass from one to another of those personages of whom he thought it most desirable for the young reader to have vivid and familiar ideas, and whose lives and actions would best enable him to give picturesque sketches of the times. On its sturdy oaken legs it trudges diligently from one scene to another, and seems always to thrust itself in the way, with most benign complacency, whenever an historical personage happens to be looking round for a seat. There is certainly no method by which the shadowy outlines of departed men and women can be made to assume the hues of life more effectually than by connecting their images with the substantial and homely reality of a fireside chair.
