Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... NOTES i. This poem is attributed in the "Complete Angler" to a "Jo. Davers, Esq." It has also been attributed to Donne and Davies. The Secrets of Angling, by J. D., was first published in 1613, and since then has become one of the rarest books in the whole of angling literature, where rare books are somewhat common. Many other passages in the poem are excellent beside the one quoted, notably a delightful account, in the third book, of the qualities which a good angler should possess. In the Stationers' Registers, the author's name is given as John Dennys. VIII. IX. X. The work of a charming and little - known poet. His Britannia's Pastorals give a wonderful picture of old English country life and its pleasures--maypole - dancing, angling, hunting, and love-making. His works have recently been published in the Muses' Library (Lawrence & Bullen). xx. Dr Johnson has a Latin rendering of the last stanza of this song, which is one of the most famous in the literature of the sport-- "Nunc, per gramina fusi, Densa fronde salicti, Dum defenditur imber, Molles ducimus boras," etc. XXXII. The writings of the once famous Peter Pindar, though now little read, are often full of real humour and surprising skill in epigram. The poem quoted is from the New-Old Ballads, a collection of verses in ridicule of old-fashioned poetry. xxxiv. This sonnet is interesting, since nowadays one often hears it said that Wordsworth disliked angling. He has another admirable sonnet on Wallon's Lives. "There are no colours in the fairest sky So fair as these; the feather whence the pen Was shaped that traced the lives of these good Men, Dropped from an angel's wing. With moistened eye, We read of faith and purest charity, In Statesman, Priest, and humble Citizen. Oh 1...

Download or read book The Thirty Nine Steps written by John Buchan and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1993-11-18 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Buchan wrote The Thirty-Nine Steps while he was seriously ill at the beginning of the First World War. In it he introduces his most famous hero, Richard Hannay, who, despite claiming to be an `ordinary fellow', is caught up in the dramatic race against a plot to devastate the British war effort. Hannay is hunted across the Scottish moors by police and spy-ring alike, and must outwit his intelligent and pitiless enemy in the corridors of Whitehall and, finally, at the site of the mysterious thirty-nine steps. The best-known of Buchan's thrillers, The Thirty-Nine Steps has been continuously in print since first publication and has been filmed three times, most notably by Alfred Hitchcock in 1935. In this, the only critical edition, Christopher Harvie's introduction interweaves the writing of the tale with the equally fascinating story of how John Buchan, publisher and lawyer, came in from the cold and, via The Thirty-Nine Steps, ended the war as spy-master and propaganda chief. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Book excerpt: Three successful but bored friends in their mid-forties decide to turn to poaching. They are Sir Edward Leithen, lawyer, Conservative Member of Parliament (MP), and ex-Attorney General; John Palliser-Yeates, banker and sportsman; and Charles, Earl of Lamancha, former adventurer and present Conservative Cabinet Minister. Under the collective name of 'John Macnab', they set up in the Highland home of Sir Archie Roylance, a disabled war hero who wishes to be a Conservative MP. They issue a challenge to three of Roylance's neighbours: first the Radens, who are an old-established family, about to die out; next, the Bandicotts: an American archaeologist and his son, who are renting a grand estate for the summer; and lastly the Claybodys, vulgar, bekilted nouveaux riches. These neighbours are forewarned that 'John Macnab' will poach a salmon or a stag from their land and return it to them undetected...

Book excerpt: "Andrew Lownie's acclaimed biography - the first in over thirty years - reveals a character as complex and fascinating as any in his great quartet of thrillers starring master spy Richard Hannay. He succeeds in the daunting task of retelling Buchan's life in all its variety, breadth, and complexity. Based on exhaustive research and drawing on private papers previously unavailable to biographers, this is a compelling picture of Buchan's life, and a panoramic view of British political, social, and literary circles during the first half of the twentieth-century."--Jacket.
