His glasses may be of the magnifying, or of the diminishing, or of the distorting order they may be rose-pink, or smoky, or grey, or green. So this same typical Nobody of ours must duly preface his So here are mine with So here am I. Know thyself may be a counsel of perfection, but one must be singularly stupid if one does not get a good way towards it by a good way short of seventy years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of Victorian London May I dare to hope that a few words of preface to this book of "Memories" will hold my readers' attention for a moment, as it is very necessary that they should be written? In my former volume of "Recollections," no reference was made to certain episodes which must always rank among the great days of my life, yet which did not fit in with the general tenor of that book. They had an interest all their own. They could not be dismissed with a passing tribute. They merited more - much more. They haunted me in many a lonely Highland glen, or by the waters of some lapping lake - and the time seems now come when they can be put on record. For it was my happy fate to be from time to time, from early youth onwards, the guest of a beloved relation, to me as a sister, in her London home, where she was the centre of a singularly attractive circle. Albeit a rich and handsome young married woman with abundance of energy and leisure, she cared nothing for gay society, but sought and was sought by many either already prominent in the world of letters, or destined to become so.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Days of Victoria: Some Memories of Men and Things The orthodox retailer of reminiscences usually begins by presenting his readers with a full, true and particular account of his birth and parentage, and, if he has any well to-do forbears with a bit of breeding about them, we learn all about them in the first chapter. I shall not follow custom in this respect, as in many others, because, in the first place, I never had, so far as I know, any ancestors worth talking about, and if I had it wouldn't be much to boast of inasmuch as I had no voice in their selection, and couldn't have changed them if they failed to fulfil expectations. Suffice it to say then that I was born of poor but honest parents, in the sense that they were far removed from being millionaires. Under these circum stances, in accordance with the rule laid down in the story books of my childhood when the infant's parents came under the above-named description, I ought to have had a fairy-godmother present at my birth to endow me with such priceless gifts as only fairies can bestow. However, I have no recollection of anything of the sort, so we must take it for granted that I entered upon the world under very ordinary conditions, was a very ordinary baby, and so became a very ordinary citizen. And that's all I can say upon the subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Playgoer's Memories I don't know why you should apply to me for a foreword to your book on the inner history of the late Victorian and Edwardian stage, unless it be for the reason that no one else in the theatrical world is so ignorant as I of the said inner history. I have never in my life been in a green-room - does such a thing exist nowadays - and at theatrical clubs I have been a very infrequent and somewhat dépaysé guest. Therefore I could as easily have written a book on Einstein's Theory of Relativity as on the subjects which you handle with such suave and humane omniscience. I suppose, then, that you apply to me as the least expert and the most appreciative reader you can find. You know how I delighted in your Fifty Years of a Londoner's Life, and you make with confidence a second appeal to my interest in the men and women whom I have hitherto known only, or mainly, as actors and actresses.

Download or read book Memories of Gospel Triumphs Among the Jews During the Victorian Era Classic Reprint written by John Dunlop and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of Gospel Triumphs Among the Jews During the Victorian Era In sending forth this Jubilee volume we have to express our regret that its publication has been so long delayed, on the one hand through illness and absorbing secretarial and editorial duties, and on the other hand, from causes which it was not in our power to obviate. We are sorry also that for want of space we have been obliged to give portraits of preachers and missionaries without sketches, and crush out articles and illustrations enough to fill a volume equal in size to this. Then, once more, the lives and labours of such representatives of the Society as the Revs. John Gill, M.D., Josiah Miller, M.A., Robert Grant Brown, Principal McAll, &c.; and such spiritual sons as the Rev. Abraham Ben Oliel, and his brother, the Rev. Maxwell Ben Oliel, Dr. Schnlhof, Dr. Benzion, Mr. J. B. Lazarus, Mr. C. D. Joseph, of Jerusalem, and the Revs. John Wilkinson, and James Adler, of the Mildmay Mission, would take more than one volume to do them justice; and yet we have only been able to insert a brief account of the work of the last two named. Many years ago Mr. Wilkinson wrote to the office for copies of the Annual Reports, Jewish Heralds, lectures, sermons, &c., which the Society had published. A parcel of these was sent to him in due course, which ho studied diligently, and afterwards, in his own way, reproduced in the discharge of his difficult and important double task as the Society's able and earnest Missionary and Deputation. The Jubilee volume contains some fine specimens of these early literary products of the Society; it also includes many striking incidents of Jewish conversion, and all the telling arguments in favour of Jewish Missions. In fulfilling our task as editor, our aim has been for the glory of God and the good of His people Israel, to make the book an impressive and inspiring record of the British Society's Jewish Mission work; and we entertain the conviction that we have succeeded. The hook proves that the London and British Societies are the illustrious mothers of modern Missions to Israel. In a word, our Jubilee volume is a storehouse of interesting and instructive facts and figures, arguments and illustrations, adapted alike to the aged and the young, which unmistakably show that the work of Jewish evangelization during the last 50 years has been so rich in spiritual results that it deserves and demands from the members of the Christian Church a million-fold more support than it has yet received. Again, in perusing the book, we would affectionately ask all our readers to bear in mind, and carry along with them to the end, the following important considerations: - (1.) That the golden sheaves presented in it are only a few taken from ten thousand reaped by our faithful missionaries in our home and foreign fields during the past half-century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes and Memories My Dear Children, The impressions gathered together in this book, though written most of them in this last decade, are all of them taken from very voluminous recollections jotted down at a much earlier period. If one day any of you think it worth while to publish these wider recollections, they will give a true picture of the world as it has appeared to me; for it has, throughout, been my aim to give an exact representation of my impressions of events, things, and people. That will be their only merit. I must explain, however, that the last chapter of this book, 'The Mysterious City, ' which has never been published, is a fantasy written to please a friend long since passed away, by collating records about some very interesting but unknown villas around Florence of which he had taken the photographs. The events I allude to are all true, and most of them I witnessed myself during my frequent and long sojourns in the Mysterious City; it will, however, be readily understood that names could not be given, though many of them will easily be guessed by those who knew the Florence of that day.
