Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1859 edition. Excerpt: ... "Oh speak the joy I ye whom the sudden tear Surprises often, while you look around, And nothing strikes your eye but sights of bliss; An elegant sufficiency, content, Retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, Ease and alternate labour, useful life, Progressive virtue, and approving Heaven."--thomson. "He (Cowper) had at one tune five rabbits, three hares, two guineapigs, a magpie, a jay, and a starling; besides two goldfinches, two canarybirds, and two dogs. It is amazing how the three hares can find room to gambol and frolic (as they certainly do) in his small parlour. I forgot to enumerate a squirrel, which used to play with one of the hares continually."--Lady. Heskkth. Eighteen hundred and twenty-four was the year which changed the imaginary "cousin" of the foregoing correspondence into an actual wife, and commenced the happier half of Mr Wilson's history. With a very superior understanding, and with accomplishments of a high order, Mrs Wilson was able to appreciate her husband's rare endowments. Fond of natural history herself, she entered, with wifely zeal, into his various pursuits--his gardening, his literary labours, his zoological friendships; and there was nothing beautiful in nature or grand in authorship of which her appreciation, so quick and true, did not double the enjoyment. At the same time, as already indicated, her earlier experience of the hopes and consolations conveyed in the gospel made her pre-eminently a help-meet to one whose spirit was now prepared to welcome a joy which the world can neither give nor take away, and whose reserved but keenly observant nature required, rather than sermons or books, the light of a living epistle; and, long before going hence, she had the happiness of knowing how entire was...

Download or read book John James Audubon written by Richard Rhodes and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2004-10-05 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John James Audubon came to America as a dapper eighteen-year-old eager to make his fortune. He had a talent for drawing and an interest in birds, and he would spend the next thirty-five years traveling to the remotest regions of his new country–often alone and on foot–to render his avian subjects on paper. The works of art he created gave the world its idea of America. They gave America its idea of itself. Here Richard Rhodes vividly depicts Audubon’s life and career: his epic wanderings; his quest to portray birds in a lifelike way; his long, anguished separations from his adored wife; his ambivalent witness to the vanishing of the wilderness. John James Audubon: The Making of an American is a magnificent achievement.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Woodrow Wilson: The Man and His Work, a Biographical Study In this work I have tried to give a systematic account of what Woodrow Wilson has done, and of the principles on which he acts. The latter is really the more important, for information without insight is of little value and indeed may be a disadvantage. Besides recounting events I have therefore endeavored to exhibit them in their bearing upon the public welfare, apart from considerations of party advantage; and also to point out their constitutional significance. These are the things that count in the reckonings of history; these are the things that ought to determine present judgement; these are the things I have had in mind in writing this biography.
