Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Bright A history of John Bright's career must needs be largely a record of opinions. In constructing this record I have tried, as far as possible, to use his own words, although the limits of this book do not permit extended quotations from his speeches. Such a method is facilitated by the terseness of his style; and inasmuch as his opinions were always clearly defined, and, being notably independent of circumstances and conditions, were subject to very little change, I may reasonably hope to have escaped the error of misrepresenting occasional utterances as definite judgments. I have not, however, been content merely to summarize Bright's acts and views, but have throughout tried to form and to suggest a critical estimate of his work and its results. With one exception the controversies in which he was engaged are now sufficiently remote, and their issues sufficiently developed, to bear historical treatment. The exception is the controversy raised in 1886; upon this subject, therefore, I have added no comment to the account given of Bright's opinions. The space allotted to the different subjects treated is proportional, not to their importance, but to the importance of Bright's dealings with them. For some details of Bright's parentage and early life I rely on the authority of the biography written by Mr. W. Robertson of Rochdale. In studying his parliamentary career I have resorted throughout to Hansard and the newspaper files. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Life and Times of John Bright Classic Reprint written by William Robertson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Times of John Bright The first edition of this work was published in 1877. Its success induced the author to extend his researches and to issue a new and greatly enlarged edition six years later. His qualifications for such a task were an enthusiastic admiration for Bright, an unwearied patience in the collection of his material, and residence in Bright's neighbourhood, which enabled him to consult his hero's early associates. The book, however, was so encumbered with detail that it has been found necessary to reduce it for the present edition. Nothing of moment is omitted, and as far as possible the characteristic features of the work have been preserved. As the last edition was published six years before Bright's death the present editor has added a brief supplementary chapter continuing the story to the end. The value of the work is increased by 3. Prelude consisting of Mr. Birrell's address at Rochdale on the occasion of the celebration of Bright's Centenary last November.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of John Bright How clear-cut is the sturdy image evoked by those two blunt Saxon syllables, 'John Bright!' Once the rallying-cry of the masses seeking enfranchisement - the trump of doom to Whig and Tory in possession - the name in memory has since become the symbol of an honest man in politics, of a strong, kind face framed in venerable white hair. But to no one have the words 'John Bright' ever suggested change or hesitation, sophistry or self-interest. His views of peace and war, of Church and State, of trade and freedom, the same throughout the half-century of his public life, are as limpid and resistant as a block of crystal. If the language in which he set them forth to his countrymen often surpassed the more elaborate orations of his great compeers, it was by reason of a strong simplicity, learnt neither in academies nor senates, but springing direct from man's common experience on earth, and reaching thence straight upwards into the sphere of faultless and noble literature. His voice had a bell-like clearness; in the largest hall he never strained, and scarcely seemed to raise it. The sound of it was music and poetry. He was singular among orators for his absence of gesture: there he stood foursquare, and sometimes half raised his arm. His oncoming was as the surge of the full swollen tide, not of the sea in storm; he awed his listeners by the calm of his passion, a terrible steed restrained by a yet stronger hand. Thus he uttered his plain man's prophecy to his fellow-citizens, bidding them keep the paths of peace and freedom, righteousness and good sense, when statesmen and diplomats led them, as ever, astray. He flattered no one, great or small, man or woman, in politics or in private life, but always spoke his thought. 'Thou must not mind all the fault John finds with thee, ' wrote his sister, as he makes no scruple to say the very worst he can to our faces.

Download or read book A Bright Shining Lie written by Neil Sheehan and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-10-20 with total page 898 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most acclaimed books of our time—the definitive Vietnam War exposé and the winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. When he came to Vietnam in 1962, Lieutenant Colonel John Paul Vann was the one clear-sighted participant in an enterprise riddled with arrogance and self-deception, a charismatic soldier who put his life and career on the line in an attempt to convince his superiors that the war should be fought another way. By the time he died in 1972, Vann had embraced the follies he once decried. He died believing that the war had been won. In this magisterial book, a monument of history and biography that was awarded the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction, a renowned journalist tells the story of John Vann—"the one irreplaceable American in Vietnam"—and of the tragedy that destroyed a country and squandered so much of America's young manhood and resources.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Public Letters of John Bright I think it necessary to state, in justice to Mr. Bright, that he is in no degree responsible for the publication of this volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like Engels in south Lancashire, young Cole in North America yearns toward an ideogram of "classic perfection," "Arcadia." It was Cole, not Engels, who made the transition to a more mature view, dividing his energies, after 1844, between a radical new empiricism and an iconic transcendentalism that, together, implied an abandonment of the pseudoclassic Arcadia of adolescence."--Jacket.
