Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of George Long Her statement proved true and the companion volume is now in my hands through the kindness of Mrs. Emma Breckinridge, of Grove Hill, Botetourt County, Virginia. Mrs. Breckinridge is a sister of Mr. John Gilmer and a daughter of Peachy Gilmer, the eld est brother of the subject of this sketch.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of George Long In March of 1925 one hundred years will have passed since the doors of the University of Virginia were thrown open for the reception of students. The men of the University, wherever they live, are everywhere awaking to the rapid approach of the momentous anniversary, and historical interest is now alert to discover and preserve every last hidden and unpublished record surviving from the generation of our grandfathers. With the passing of our generation the last thread of direct historical tradition from the times of Jefferson will have been severed forever, and historians of the University will strive with the aid of the sources transmitted to them to attain a scientific knowledge of those determining events which explain the origin and early history of the institution, and to portray the story of its life in its outer course and inner connection. Ours is the sacred duty to cherish the bond that is to bind our age with that of our children and of our children's children, recording before it is too late the precious relics of a passing tradition, and remembering too that the interest which attaches to great events and far-reaching historical and spiritual influences communicates itself even to matters and incidents of otherwise trivial importance, and justifies us in rescuing from oblivion and recording each newly discovered episode in the life of the far-away time to be read and learned with lively curiosity by those who shall succeed to the heritage of their fathers. There are two sources of knowledge from which the historian may draw when seeking to reconstruct the life of a past era: the one, the objective monuments and written records of the time; the other, the ever sparser growing personal recollections of those who were contemporaries and actors in the spiritual drama. The historical recollections of the individual are mainly confined to those events with which he was personally acquainted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of George Wyndham, 1877-1913, Vol. 1 Although a year has passed since George Wyndham died, his nearest relations and friends cannot yet realize their loss. There are men who give so much, who so completely satisfy the needs of others that they do not only influence the life of these others but become a part of it. Such men do not die to their friends. Conscious thought may realize their absence, but sub-conscious thought remains pervaded by their sympathy and continues as before to share with them every impression of beauty, action, or endeavour. It is not time but this continuity of sympathy that blunts the sting of separation. The preparation of these volumes has so fostered and maintained the sense of intimacy and companionship, that it is hoped that the reading of them may do the same for those for whom they have been prepared. George Wyndham's letters are not studied compositions, and for that reason they reflect his mind more truly than do his other writings, either in prose or verse. They supply an almost complete record of his every mood, his interests, his aspirations and his ideals. Living, he wished to share each impression of his full life with his friends; his letters enable us to share them still.

Perhaps the weather is fine where you are? Here, you might imagine it to be the end Of all things; the last fortnight has been one of storm and tempest I am quite ill through it. Fortunately my novel is completed; for, under the effect of the electricity with which the air is charged, I might have copied your de'nouement, and made M. Sylvestre kill his jade Of a wife. But he had not any such right, not being an artiste - that is to say, a man of. Impulse - but rather priding himself upon being a philosopher, that is to say, a man Of reflection. Your de'nouement must, at any rate, be considered the true one, since my good hero felt that, if he should again become enamoured of his wife, he would kill her.

This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 894 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life, Letters, and Journals of George Ticknor, Vol. 1 HE preparation of this Memoir was originally undertaken by me, in compliance with the wishes of Mr. Ticknor's family. This selection was determined mainly by my long intimacy with him. Mr. Ticknor survived most Of his contemporaries, and at his death there was no one, of those who had known him in early youth, who was both willing and able to write a biography of their friend. My task was to be principally that Of selection from a very rich mass of journals and correspondence. When, however, the first ten chapters only had been completed, I was suddenly seized by illness, which withdrew me from all literary labour. After an interval of some months the work was necessarily assumed by others. Since it approached its conclusion, my health having much improved, the manuscript has been submitted to me, and I have been able to give it a faithful perusal and cordial acceptance. The ten chapters prepared by me were stereotyped before my illness, and the early direction thus given to the first portion of the book determined some points of its entire character. Its form and appearance were necessarily then settled, and the proportions to be assumed by the other parts were in great measure fixed. The next six or eight chapters were only partially sketched. The transition may be felt, and needs to be thus explained. When the work was resumed, it was undertaken by Mrs. Ticknor and her eldest daughter, who, thenceforward, devoted themselves conscientiously to the task.
