Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of Fifty Years As I have had to trust almost entirely to memory and the few letters I have kept, of which I have been allowed to publish some, there is doubtless much that has escaped my memory and been forgotten. But I trust my temerity may be pardoned by those who agree with me that, after fifty years' acquaintance with many of the world's most interesting people, even the humblest observer may remember something worth recalling.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oxford Memories, Vol. 1 of 2: A Retrospect After Fifty Years The greater part of my Reminiscences have appeared in "London Society" (some of them at an interval of years), but they may claim to be presented in a more lasting form, with numerous additions which from time to time have recurred to my mind. If I speak of things before the present race of Oxonians were either born or thought of, human nature ever is the same. Aristotle in Greece and Horace in Rome, three centuries later, painted youth true to its characteristics in the present day. Men still commit "the oldest sins," though "in the newest kind of ways," and the "years of discretion" still arrive, the said discretion lagging painfully behind. I write of a season when the animal is fighting hard against the moral, and when as to the intellectual it is a light of a very flickering kind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Memories These memories were written for The Christian Register, and ran through twenty-nine numbers, from December, 1903 to April, 1904. Many friends had suggested in the later years that I should write some memoirs of my life and print them, or leave them in the care of my children to be printed after my death. I did not favor the idea. But when I came to the eightieth mile-stone of my pilgrimage, there was such an outpouring of greetings and congratulations from the Church of the Messiah, the sister churches and ministers, and from friends far and wide in my motherland and my homeland these fifty-eight years, that my heart was moved to do something in this sort, and it was done, not as memoirs - these I could not attempt - but as "some memories."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of the Months: Sixth Series Were this volume of a quality to merit a second or explanatory title, that should be the mixture AS before. Like its predecessors in the series, it is no more than an expansion of notes made chiefly in the open air upon incidents and phenomena, for the explanation of which, when they puzzled me, I have had recourse to the writings or oral advice of competent authorities. But whereas note-books, irregularly kept, are not convenient as jogs to a treacherous memory, I have indulged in the luxury of having their contents set up in fair type.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yarns: Stray Memories of 50 Years The large mess-room, which could completely seat 150 boys, was on the lower deck of the Britannia and was heated by three steam radiators, the supply pipes of which ran along overhead. Cadets joined the Britannia in batches every half-year and, as their stay was two years, there were always four batches, or terms, on board at one time. These were known as Cheeky News, Cheeky Threes, Plucky Nines, and Passing Outs. The terms Cheeky Threes and Plucky Nines were survivals of the time when new batches joined every three months. The second-term boys had been there only three months and the word Cheeky was obviously applied. The Plucky Nines were the boys who had been in the Britannia nine months, the adjective being added because a certain third term had won a combat with the fourth. After wards, when the time in the Britannia was extended two years, the names stuck. Each term had its own table and its own heater, but as there were only three radiators the Cheeky News were given the overhead steam-pipes to com fort themselves with on a cold day. The cadet law was very strict and at times arbitrary; but what upset things very much was the irregularity of the numbers of cadets entering the Britannia every half year.

Download or read book Fifty Years Or Dead Leaves and Living Seeds Classic Reprint written by Harry Jones and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-13 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Years: Or Dead Leaves and Living Seeds Though I am asked to pen a preface to this little volume, I do so with a feeling that nothing seems likely to come of it beyond a remark that, having committed myself to an utterance which is unavoidably personal, I might have drawn upon early and college memories. But since I purposed to say a word about such as were mainly of a clerical nature, these would have been out of place, and tempted me to write at greater length. And thus, as the air of publication has grown thick with reminiscences of many sorts, I can submit these to the severity of critics with the reflection that, at any rate, they are not initially deterrent by reason of their bulkiness, whatever fault may be found with what I have ventured to set down in the following pages, now laid before my friends and such Of the reading public as may care to glance at some written experiences and thoughts of a private in the ranks of town and country parsons. I might add that, being a minister of the English Church, which holds together good men of many minds, I have been moved with a desire to recognise its toler ance, and with a feeling that eyes to see fairly those facts which concern all are more needed than views, however honestly taken, of the different sides which they present.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of What I Saw, What I Lived Through, and What I Learned, During More Than Fifty Years of Social and Literary Experience I must begin with a confidential word to my readers. I have been a hard-working literary woman for more than forty years, but I do not Write these memories because I attach any Significance to my own personality. I have written them for my own pleasure; be cause friends have seemed interested and amused by scraps Which I have told them; because I think some of my contemporaries may like to be reminded of ways of life and thought Which are passing into oblivion because I have witnessed some beginnings which are ripening yet; and because I find the present abounds with those to whom some Of my memories have already a certain antiquarian flavour. I must express my gratitude to the friends through whose instigation and sympathy I have been led to enjoy these pleasures of memory. I also offer my cordial thanks to the other friends who have given me ready furtherance in the matter Of illustrations - viz., to Lord Guthrie, Miss Lydia Nicol, and Mr. Robert Brown.
