Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir and Letters Rudolf Cecil Hopkinson was born at Holmwood, Wimbledon Common, on July 10th, 1891. He was the sixth and youngest child of his parents. From both of them he had the advantage of unblemished heritage and high example. His father's name is among the great ones of Science. There was no great difference in age among his elder brothers and sisters; but there was a gap of eleven years between him and the one before. His advent, therefore, was a great experience to the rest of the family, particularly to his three sisters, enthusiastic school girls, who lavished observation and devotion on him. Thus he had more than the ordinary share of baby worship. It made little conscious difference to him. He accepted it as part of his daily life. It did not spoil him in the ordinary sense of the word, though it may have increased the old-fashioned, absent-minded tendencies which were his as a child. It also may have developed his very sweet temper and his extreme reasonableness, since he was seldom treated crossly or unreasonably and seldom behaved so. He was quite aware of his importance; yet it was in no spirit of arrogance that, on an occasion in his fourth or fifth year, when a cousin knocked him down, he said gravely, without any anger: "You must not do that; I am too precious." This detached impersonal view of himself was a characteristic which lasted throughout his life. It was exemplified before he won the famous long distance ski-ing race in Switzerland for the "Roberts of Kandahar" challenge cup in 1911.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Henry Scott Holland: Memoir and Letters So many of Scott Hollands friends have helped me, that it is impossible for me to thank each of them here. Mrs. Ady, whose friendship with him goes back to 1870, was to have written this book: she and her daughter collected and arranged some of the materials for it: a long illness interrupted the work, and it was entrusted to me. I have given a full account of his early life, especially of the years between 1868 and 1874. I hope that I have not done wrong to make free use of R.L. Nettleship sletters. They do not represent all that was in him: they belong to a time when differences of belief were taken gravely, as a tragedy, which now are taken lightly, as a comedy. Men who only knew him as a teacher of pure philosophy in Oxford will wonder at them, and perhaps will feel that they were too intimate for publication. But I could not get away from them, nor could I give without them a clear picture of Holland at Balliol. Besides, I doubt whether the present statements of differences of belief are so well worth studying as the interchange of thoughts, half a century ago, between T.H. Green, Nettleship, and Holland. In his letters, Holland was rather prodigal of little affectionate phrases, and of capitals I find him, for instance, writing of Course and of words underlined. I have not always copied these: and I have not always marked the omission of sentences in letters from or to him.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters and Papers: With a Memoir by Harry Graham "His brother-officers could not speak too highly of his capacity as a leader, of his charm as a companion, and of all those splendid qualities of his which made him the leading spirit of his mess and the idol of his men. He loved his men, and they loved him, and his invincible optimism carried him safely through those dark hours of danger and discomfort which set weaker men grumbling and despairing. It is no exaggeration to say that officers and men adored him. No one more willingly gave up a life of noble promise to a call which he felt was sacred. He thought that in the war there was an inspiration to call men from 'poverty of outlook' (his own expression), and to direct all their energies into the maintenance of a supremely righteous cause. With all his radiant enjoyment of this world, and his artistic temperament, which found fit expression in a lovely voice, as well as in painting and spirited writing, full of ease, force, and grace, the vision of the highest never left him. The spiritual element in his nature was far the strongest, and the life of Christ was always before him as the one great example. He was happy in the circumstances of his death. For he had a peculiar love of France, and the spirit of comradeship in the Army realised his ideal of the brotherhood of man, as a life of sacrifice and adventure appealed to the truest instincts of his being." - The Times, December 8th, 1917.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir, Letters, and Remains of Alexis De Tocqueville, Vol. 1 of 2 The original of this work, edited by M. Gustave de Beaumont, is already well known and widely circulated in France. I do not feel that any apology is needed for offering to the public a translation. M. de Tocqueville's letters are valuable as sources of information and instruction, and above all as a moral study. The depth and seriousness of his mind, combined with an almost feminine grace and delicacy, the elevation which pervaded his whole character, and which breathes in nearly every sentence that he wrote, will be peculiarly appreciated by an English reader. And yet I feel great diffidence in introducing M. de Tocqueville's thoughts, clothed in other words than his own.

We have simply acceded to the wish expressed by numerous friends that a few letters and notes might be published of one who has been so soon and so suddenly taken away from us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peacock's Memoir of Shelley: With Shelley's Letters to Peacock All Peacock's reminiscences of Shelley made their first appearance in the pages of Fraser's Magazine. Part I was the first article in the July number of 1858, and was printed as a review of the following volumes: - Shelley and his Writings. By Charles S. Middleton. London: Newby, 1856.

By Thomas Jefferson Hogg. In Four Volumes. Vols. I and II. London: Moxon, 1858. It is to the titles of these works that Peacock refers on page 4.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Letters of Peter and Susan Lesley IT has been my desire in writing this Memoir to give a lifelike impression of my father and mother. They were unusually full of vitality, their interests were varied, and their affections strong and constant. Any account of them which did not show their abundant strength of mind and heart would be of little value. The most direct and natural way to accomplish this end has seemed to be the use of their own intimate correspond ence, since by self-revelation rather than by the description of others is the most vivid impression of personality made. Fortunately we had for use not only the long series of their letters, but also a large number of letters to intimate friends.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir and Letters of Sara Coleridge, Vol. 1 The difficulty which must attend on all such under takings as that on which I have been engaged, in editing the letters of my Mother, is rather increased than diminished by that very quality which constitutes their peculiar charm, I mean their perfect genuineness and life-like reality. Touching descriptions of personal feeling, acute remarks and wise reflections occur here in abundance. Which seem, to the eye of affection, to be gems of purest ray serene, the utterances of a heart full of sensibility, and an intellect at once subtle and profound. Yet, severed as they must often be from the context which justified and explained them, these thoughtful comments on the life within and around her, may, it is to be feared, either lose their full significance, or assume one that is exaggerated and untrue.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of Martha Smith: With a Short Memoir of Her Life In assuming the task of making selections from the letters of Martha Smith, and arranging and preparing them for the press, we were in some degree aware of the difficulty of the undertaking, and not unmindful of the responsibility that would rest upon us. We would willingly have been excused from the service, and have confided it to more experienced hands; but the lot seemed to fall upon us; and being convinced, from a perusal of her letters, that there was much matter in them too valuable to be lost, or limited even to her family and intimate friends, we were made willing to submit to the undertaking. It will be seen that a large number of her letters were written to her family at home, whilst engaged in religious visits to various parts of the country. These were in many instances almost exclusively made up of directions about domestic concerns, and narrative of her journeyings - remarks about the country, people and things she saw, intended for the entertainment of her family; and however interesting and instructive they might have been to them, it is not believed they would be so to the general reader.

Oliphant In this quiet confidence that everything had been so perfectly arranged for her, with her mind clear, even a little flicker of fun in her eyes at times, always a tender smile and word for those she loved, a great writer passed away from us, leaving a blank that there is certainly no one capable of filling. There have been, perhaps there are (and she herself would have been the first to say it with full belief), greater novelists, but who has ever achieved the same variety of literary work with any thing like the same level of excellence? A great deal of her very best remains at present anonymous - bio graphical and critical papers, and others dealing with an extraordinary variety of subjects. But merely to divide her books into classes gives some little idea of the range of her powers. Her novels, long and short.
