Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From North America, Vol. 1 of 2: Written During a Tour in the United States and Canada On my return home, I found that my letters had been preserved and collected, in order to be copied, if I should give permission. On look ing them over, I was induced to believe, that those on the subject of emigration, contained some particulars which might be useful at that time. When so many persons were leaving their country to seek subsistence in the Western wilds; and under this impression, I sent three or four letters to a respectable periodical publication, in which they were in setted-and, agreeably to my express injune tion, without my name.

A young Irishman from the neighbourhood of K who belongs to one of them, told me that an economical man could save 301. A year after the first outlay. To give you an idea of the cheapness of forage here, I may mention that Captain has con tracted for the supply of his troop with twelve pounds of oats, ten pounds of hay, and eight pounds of straw (the regular cavalry ration) per man at sixpence per day. In Ireland the average is one shilling and sixpence.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kentucky in American Letters 1784-1912, Vol. 1 of 2 Mr. Townsend's fellow countrymen must feel themselves to be put under a beautiful obligation to him by his work entitled Kentucky in American Letters. He has thus fenced off for the lovers of New World literature a well watered bluegrass pasture of prose and verse, which they may enter and range through according to their appetites for its peculiar green provender and their thirst for the limestone spring. This strip of pasture is a hundred years long; its breadth may not be politely questioned! For the backward-looking and for the forward-looking students of American literature, not its merely browsing readers, he has wrought a service of larger and more lasting account. Whether his patiently done and richly crowned work be the first of its class and kind, there is slight need to consider here: fitly enough it might be a pioneer, a path-blazer, as coming from the land of pioneers, path-blazers. But whether or not other works of like character be already in the field of national observation, it is inevitable that many others soon will be.

Here is an ancestor for every state in the union, which is enough, in all conscience, to content a reasonable man. But there are at least twenty more papas putting in for little America, which shows how anxious every body was to claim this noble offspring. Each of these supported 'his theory with a pertinacity proportioned to its enor mity; and, perhaps, there never was such a mass of absurdity as has been generated by this sub ject, useless in itself, and now beyond the reach of human research to determine. It was to be hoped that the subject had been laid at rest in the learned lumber of the times, never to be revived.

Download or read book Letters from and to Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From and to Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe, Vol. 1 of 2 In the selection and arrangement of the letters, very considerable difficulties had to be encountered. By far the greater number were undated, and many presented no references by which the dates might be accurately fixed. Not a few had found their way into covers evidently belonging to other letters, thereby increasing a confusion already chaotic. By exercising considerable pains, it is believed that the exact dates, or at least the closest approximation to them, have been fixed upon. It may be necessary to explain why so large a num ber of letters to Mr Sharpe has been included in the present volumes. Not only did it seem that these letters were of service as the best illustrations of Mr Sharpe's own letters, but that they added not less than those did to our knowledge of him. Living as he did so much in isolation, Mr Sharpe's biography is written in his correspondence, and the interest of most of the letters addressed to him supersedes any need of an apology.

Download or read book Letters Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by Louise Imogen Guiney and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters, Vol. 1 of 2 Letter-writing on the part of a busy man or woman is the quintessence of generosity. It is an urge, of course, like every other form of activity. People write letters because they can't help writing them. But it is an urge which indicates a generous spirit. Horace Wal pole and Mme. De Sevigne had little else to occupy their abundant leisure. Letters were to them a form of liter ary composition. Sir Walter Scott never had any leisure, and Walter Page died of overwork. Letters were to them a means of communication with friends. No one of the four ever stayed his or her hand because there were other things to do. Louise Imogen Guiney worked hard and loved idle ness - idleness to read, idleness to roam the country side; yet so great was the prodigality of her pen that time and fatigue seem equally out of the reckoning. Even her school letters are full, free, joyous, written as though she loved to write them. Even the familiar commonplaces of season and of weather find space in her pages, and present themselves with an animating air of novelty: Spring is galloping this way, as you would believe if you could see the fat beetles reeling from under the dead leaves in the woods.
