This book was released on 2016-08-03 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Which Shall It Be? New Lamps or Old? Shaxpere or Shakespeare? The brief observations on Shakespeare's name at Pp. 9 to 12 are extracted from a privately printed volume which I have now in the press, and are separately distributed in the hope of inducing further researches to ascertain the general practice adopted in the autograph of surnames in the time of the great dramatist. Upon looking over my collections on the subject I find numerous lists of varieties of the same name collected from records and printed books, but comparatively only a few derived from signatures. Any additional information in this direction would be useful in absolutely deter mining the accuracy of the main position, of which even now there can hardly be a reason able doubt, that there was then no settled orthography of surnames and that a signature of those days is not conclusive evidence of the mode in which a person's name should be spelt.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Lamps or Old?: A Few Additional Words on the Momentous Question Respecting the E and the an in the Name of Out National Dramatist The subject of our early nominal orthography, discussed in the following pages, has elicited so wide an interest, apart from the individual question, that I have been induced to reprint the pamphlet with a few additions and corrections. The special case which has occasioned this investigation may thus be briefly epitomized. There having been no standard for the spelling of names in the time of Shakespeare, it follows, of course, that one form of signature was then as correct, or as incorrect, as another, that it was no authority for a printed orthography, and that the election of an uniform mode can be left to modern usage. In selecting, in the case of Shakespeare, the longest form, we are guided by the probability, almost the certainty, founded on the dedications to the first poems, that the great dramatist himself, had he lived to have superintended the publication of an edition of his works, would have adopted in that edition the orthography of his name which was sanctioned by his intimate friends and colleagues when they edited the folio of 1623, the complete form, Shakespeare, accepted with a singular unanimity by Ben Jonson and other contemporaries.

Download or read book The Souter s Lamp written by Hector MacGregor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-03-20 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Souter's Lamp: And Other Stories The Glen folk liked to appear in their new boots for the first time at the Kirk. This made Saturday the Souter's busiest day. But the week's work was generally finished by eight o'clock on Saturday evening. The Souter liked a quiet talk, and Saturday evening was the time when people had an hour to spare. Between eight and ten o'clock there were usually three or four cronies seated about the kitchen ingle. As the big clock, which choked the passage between the room and the kitchen, rumbled out the strokes of eight, the Souter rose from his bench with a sigh of relief. He first swept the week's clippings into a corner, and then hung his apron on a nail behind the door. His wife came in when she heard him stirring, and took the boots that were to be called for into the kitchen. At a quarter past eight, after he had washed his face and hands in the tub that stood outside the kitchen door and caught the water off the roof, the Souter carried the big lamp in from the workshop and hung it carefully on the knob of the kitchen window shutter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mirror and the Lamp And so it is with the whole town. Time cannot truly touch it, and change leaves it unchanged. Where fierce-eyed Romans used to buy and sell their slaves, bland traders now assemble with samples of hops and grain; the Norman keep is a gas-work, the dungeon mound a nursemaid's garden; the pilgrims' inn and its hundred beds have vanished in flame; carved scrolls and polished stone are succeeded by slates and bricks and plate glass; the vulgar music-hall brings ruin to the legitimate theatre, and in its turn is destroyed by the lantern-flash of a cinema show; boat expresses sweep through iron girders, screaming in the silence of night and belching out foul clouds by day; look where you will, you can see the ugliness of an ugly age, the cynical contempt for grace, the unfaltering grasp at gain; railway companies and jerry-builders, municipal committees and gentlemen speculators, have all tried to spoil the grey old city; - and yet still the air that blows across its three towers id holy, the smoke that rises from its hearths has a perfume of incense, and the murmur of its river is a prayer.

Download or read book Ancient Light written by John Banville and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Sea gives us a brilliant novel about an actor in the twilight of his life and his career: “a devastating account of a boy’s sexual awakening and the loss of his childhood…. Seamless [and] profound ... An unsettling and beautiful work.” —Wall Street Journal Is there a difference between memory and invention? That is the question that haunts Alexander Cleave as he reflects on his first, and perhaps only, love—an underage affair with his best friend’s mother. When his stunted acting career is suddenly, inexplicably revived with a movie role playing a man who may not be who he claims, his young leading lady—famous and fragile—unwittingly gives him the opportunity to see, with startling clarity, the gap between the things he has done and the way he recalls them. Profoundly moving, Ancient Light is written with the depth of character, clarifying lyricism, and heart-wrenching humor that mark all of Man Booker Prize-winning author John Banville’s extraordinary works.
