Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs, Vol. 2 of 2 There was a morning paper in Philadelphia which grieved me sore by pilfering my news items as I wrote them. SO I one day gave a marvellous account of the great Volatile Chelidonian or Flying Turtle of Surinam, of which a specimen had just arrived in New York. It had a shell as of diamonds blent with emeralds and rubies, and bat-like wings of iridescent hue surpassing the opal, and a tail like a serpent. Our contemporary, nothing doubting, at once published this as original matter in a letter from New York, and had to bear the responsibility. But I did not invest my inventiveness wisely; I should have shared the idea with Barnum. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Memoirs, Vol. 2 England hoped to overwhelm our country with the Russian steam-roller, whilst the Franco-Anglo-Belgian army brought ours to a standstill, and intended then to stop the war if the danger arose of the Russians winning too big a victory. The enemy assumed that Italy's secession would upset our calculations and cancel our numerical superiority in the west during the decisive weeks. The enemy's well-founded hopes of victory were disappointed by the way in which our military machine did its work and the speed with which we seized Belgium. The Russian masses did what could be expected of them. But they had the misfortune soon to stumble across great generals, who, favoured by the luck of battle, brought out by magnificent man uvres the best qualities of our nation in arms. The Schlieffen plan of attacking France through Belgium was intended to stave off from Germany the first vital danger.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Autobiographic Memoirs, Vol. 2 As years rolled on, having at last a wife, a home, and children, I began to feel myself a fully enfranchised citizen, a man who wanted nothing more, who felt a clear course before him, and was conscious of being fit to run it out. And for forty years, with my wife by my side, one with me in every thought, aim, and hope, I have never been a prey to weariness or disappointment, much less despair, however small were the ends achieved, however useless or even mischievous they may have looked to the world. 1 was no longer without a systematic religion, nor without a growing body of brothers and sisters in common communion and hope.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Goethe, Vol. 2 of 2 We had agreed with Merk to meet together in the spring at the residence of Madame La Roche, at Coblentz. I had sent my baggage to Frank fort; and such articles as I might stand in need of on my journey were embarked on the Lahn. I passed along the banks of that fine river, so rich in agreeable and varied prospects. The re solution I had first formed ensured to me perfect liberty of mind: my heart, though in truth less free, was, however, filled with pleasing sensa tions. In short, I was just in that state of feel ing which enables one to derive inefi'a'ble delight from the animated scenery of nature. My eye. Accustomed to observe the picturesque beauties of the country, eagerly dwelt on every object that appeared before me. I by turns admired the wood-covered rocks, the summits of the hills gilded by the rays of the sun, the castles crown ing the heights, and the horizon vaguely bounded by the distant blue mountains.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs, Vol. 2 Haldane added a curious fact to my knowledge of the means taken at different times to bring to an end the official life of Lord Wolverhampton. Two years ago, when Asquith became Prime Minister, Lord Morley, by arrangement, suggested to Sir H. Fowler, as he then was, that the time had come for both of them to tender their resignations, knowing Of course that his would not be accepted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Memoir of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Vol. 2 of 2 At the time of the Divinity Hall address, Emerson, as I said, was intending to lecture, the next winter, in Boston; and he persevered, though he expected that his audience would be small. When the lectures began, however, in December, there was no appearance of any deterrent effect from the address. "The lecturing [he writes to his brother William] thrives. The good city is more placable than it was represented, and forgives, like Burke, much to the spirit of liberty." The attendance was large, and of the same class of persons as before, most of them, no doubt, Liberal Christians, but of a liberality that was not disturbed by his departure from the Cambridge platform. They came, as Mr. Lowell says, to hear Emerson, not to hear his opinions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diplomatic Memoirs, Vol. 2 of 2 I have referred in previous chapters to the interest manifested President Arthur in the development of commercial reciprocity, and to the steps taken by his administration to inaugurate and carry forward such a system of exchange with foreign countries. His defeat in the national convention of his party in 1884, followed by the election of President Cleveland, who was opposed to the system, resulted in the failure of the three treaties which had been negotiated with Mexico, with Spain for Cuba and Porto Rico, and with San Domingo. But the return of the Republicans to power in the election of President Harrison in 1888 revived the reciprocity projects. Special arrangements or treaties for the favored ex change of products with other nations were not an entirely new measure. During the presidency of Jackson a treaty made with France(1831) contained commercial reciprocity provisions. In 1843 President Tyler instructed our Minister to Prussia, Mr. Wheaton, to negotiate with the Germanic Customs Union, or Zollverein, "a commercial treaty, which, while it will open new advantages to the agricultural interests of the United States and a more free and expanded field for commercial operations, will affect injuriously no existing interest in the Union.' This was the exact basis upon which reciprocity was advocated by the Harrison Administration in 1890. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Madame Lafarge, Vol. 2 At a few leagues' distance from Paris, the country, without being less beautiful, assumed a harsher aspect. Flowering shrubs, fragrant but useless, were succeeded by cultivated fields; the clover was falling under the mower's scythe; the hay was gathered into sweet-scented heaps; and fields of standing rye, undulating under the morning breeze, resembled an ocean of ears and corn-flowers. For the first time I felt all the poetry of spring, away from Villers-Hellon. All the joys of my beloved grandfather returned after the winter. Alas! he would return no more. My heart failed me. The smiling face of spring appeared to me ungrateful and neglectful. Lalo's thoughts and feelings sympathised with mine, and we were both affected by painful reminiscences.
