Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Recollections and Sketches In the days of my boyhood there may have been several denizens of Edinburgh, my native city, who knew and remembered Burns; but I was aware of the existence of only two such, and both of them belonged to the gentler sex. One of them played a prominent part in the poet's biography, being no other than the Clarinda of his fervid love-letters, the 'Nancy' of several of his songs and other poems, especially of the exquisite and impassioned 'Ae fond kiss, and then we sever!' When I was a boy and first heard of her as alive and in Edinburgh, the Clarinda of Burns's rapturous prose and verse was an old and invalid lady of eighty, living in solitude and seclusion in a quiet little street just round the south-western corner of the Calton Hill. There a short walk would take her to the monument erected, opposite the southern boundary of the High School of Edinburgh, to the poet whose memory she appears to have cherished to the last. She was the widow of a husband who was unworthy of her and whose name, M'Lehose, she has made familiar to all worshippers of Burns. Among these, in a boyish way, I might then be reckoned.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections: Literary and Political A certain writer of the old time - forty years seems so long ago - was known, as everything is in our days, by initials, and signed himself A. K. H. B. He wrote a book entitled The Recreations of a Country Parson. I forget what the recreations were, but I believe he amused himself with his pen, for I remember reviewing, in those days, another book by him called Changed Aspects of Unchanged Truths, which was, in fact, a volume of sermons delivered in St. Andrews, and which he had not courage enough to publish under their proper name. And really the 'changed aspects' was only the name for the old sermons which Dr. Boyd had already inflicted upon his followers. But the title of the earlier work attracted me - The Recreations of a Country Parson. The recreation of a man who is busy in one way, according to his calling, is to be busy in another way according to his heart, and in a long life I have found leisure too much for me, and have made holiday in some kind of work I was not called upon to do.

This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections, Personal and Literary His youth showed again how much more inborn tendency has to do with one's life than any exter nal forces, such as guardianship, means, and what we call education. The thrush takes to the bough, wheresoever hatched and fledged. Many waters cannot quench genius, neither can the floods drown it. The story of Dickens's boyhood, as told by him self, is not more pathetic, nor is its outcome more beautiful, than the story of Richard Henry Stod dard's experiences, his orphanage, his few years' meagre schooling, his work as a boy in all sorts of shifting occupations, the attempt to make a learned blacksmith of him, his final apprenticeship to iron moulding, at which he worked on the East Side from his eighteenth to his twenty-first year. As Dr. Griswold put it, he began to mould his thoughts into the symmetry of verse while he moulded the molten metal into shapes of grace. Stoddard, how ever, afterward said that a knowledge of foundries was not one of the learned doctor's strong points.

Download or read book Personal Memories Social Political and Literary Sketches of Many Noted People 1803 1843 Classic Reprint written by Edward Deering Mansfield and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Memories Social, Political, and Literary, Sketches of Many Noted People 1803-1843 I had no such vanity as would have induced the publication of this book. It was urged upon me by others. Several years ago a number of gentlemen in Cincinnati sent me a written request to publish my reminiscences. After that my children made the same request. Not liking personal publicity, I paid, at first, little attention to the subject. Subsequently I began writing my memories in a series of letters to my children. In this form they had more of personality and of personal address than perhaps a printed book should have, but the reader will no doubt make allowance for that. One reason for my publishing these personal reminiscences is, that I remembered I was always interested, and I think others have been also, in this kind of narrative. Human nature is always interested in itself, and each individual looks with curiosity on the progress of others in the journey of life. This common interest in each other is my best reason for this publication, a small contribution to the history of human nature.
