Download or read book My Life Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by Richard Wagner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Life, Vol. 1 of 2 The contents of these volumes have been written down directly from my dictation, over a period of several years, by my friend and wife, who wished me to tell her the story of my life. It was the desire of both of us that these details of my life should be accessible to our family and to our sincere and trusted friends; and we decided therefore, in order to provide against a possible destruction of the one manuscript, to have a small number of copies printed at our own expense. As the value of this autobiography consists in its unadorned veracity, which, under the circumstances, is its only justification, there fore my statements had to be accompanied by precise names and dates; hence there could be no question of their publication until some time after my death, should interest in them still survive in our descendants, and on that point I intend leaving directions in my will.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Life, Vol. 2 of 3 The detachment to which I was ordered off, was quartered in a small town adjoining the mountains, and stationed there to protect half a-dozen gaugers, who were waging war against illicit whiskey. It consisted of two companies one was commanded by Captain o'moore, and he was mad; the other by Captain Daly, and he was married. Of the subalterns, two were sick and absent, and the other twain sent from head-quarters, being, as the colonel considered, unsuited for the corps. One drank water, kept Lent, played the fiddle, and professed anti duelling principles the other, because the com ruander disliked him for some cause with which we were unacquainted; he was, they said, re served and unsocial, and, from his brusque man ners and cynical disposition, generally unp0pu lar.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Adventures of My Life, Vol. 1 of 2 C'est au point que dans mes articles quotidiens de l'Intransigeant je ne puis m'empecher d'etablir entre la facon dont on pratique le droit des gens des deux cotes du detroit des comparisons qui sont rarement a notre avantage. Et comme il serait inutile de s'instruire si on ne profitait pas de ses decouvertes pour instruire les autres, j'ai revele a la France les beautes de cette admirable ecole des artistes anglais qui ont resplendi vers la fin du siecle dernier et au debut de celui-ci. Car, chose incomprehensible, alors qu'a Londres on appeciait a leur reelle valeur nos Chardin, nos Greuze, nos Boucher, nos Watteau, a Paris on connaissait a peine de reputation les Hogarth, les Turner, les Thomas Lawrence, et pas meme de nom les Raeburn, les Romney, les Etty et cent autres peintres superieurs dont nos musees ne possedent pas le moindre echantillon. C'est pourtant la le terrain sur lequel les nations pourront toujours s'entendre. Quant a moi, qui n'ai pour les guerres coloniales que la plus entiere repulsion, j'ai toujours prefere de beaucoup la conquete d'un beau tableau de Reynolds a celle d'un territoire au Soudan.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Life, Vol. 2: A Record of Events and Opinions Soon after I returned home, in the summer of 1862, Mr. Darwin invited me to come to Down for a night, where I had the great pleasure of seeing him in his quiet home, and in the midst of his family. A year or two later I spent a week-end with him in company with Bates, Jenner Weir, and a few other naturalists; but my most frequent interviews with him were when he spent a few weeks with his brother, Dr. Erasmus Darwin, in Queen Anne Street, which he usually did every year when he was well enough, in order to see his friends and collect information for his various works. On these occasions I usually lunched with him and his brother, and sometimes one other visitor, and had a little talk on some of the matters specially interesting him. He also sometimes called on me in St. Mark's Crescent for a quiet talk or to see some of my collections. My first letter from him dealing with scientific matters was in August, 1862, and our correspondence was very extensive during the period occupied in writing or correcting his earlier books on evolution, down to the publication of "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals," in 1872, and afterwards, at longer intervals, to within less than a year of his death.
