Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches in History and Poetry Of the ten papers, which have been named Sketches, contained in this volume, some were given to the public in periodicals by the author himself. Others are now printed for the first time. The date of the earliest is 1860; of the latest 1884, the year before the authors death. Four of them were given as Lectures in the chair of Poetry, Oxford, viz., VI., VII., IX., X. All the subjects, save one, are taken from Scottish History or Poetry, fields in which the writer showed a lifelong and special interest. One or two of the papers may be singled out as but slight in treatment of the subject; yet all of them contain passages which are highly characteristic of the author, and some are worthy of him at his best - as, for example, "The Songs of Scotland before Burns." They thus seem to me to be well deserving of collection and publication in one volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pencilings of Light and Shade The main incidents of the following sketch are based upon an historical fact, and a traditionary tale. The Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, by Louis XIV., expatriated many of the noblest and truest citizens of France; compelling them to seek, in foreign countries, that exercise of their civil and religious rights which had been denied them in their native land. A tradition existed among the early navigators, that a group of beautiful islands far to the west, was favored with the visible presence of celestial visitants; and that those who passed the night upon their coral shores, beheld heavenly visions, and listened to the harmonies of delicious music, and heard the sound of Angel Voices, strangely melodious, floating on the midnight air.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of Remarkable People, Chiefly From Personal Recollection: With Miscellaneous Papers and Poems So far the production; and now a word as to the publication. Accustomed to hearing readers of taste, and critics of acknowledged acumen, say of many of the prose papers as well as poems that they ought not to be lost sight of, but collected and published in a volume, this was at last resolved upon, and announcements of it made as far back as 1866 but from domestic suffering and other causes the issue was delayed Meanwhile other works of a somewhat similar bearing, by various writers, were published, yet in no way connected with or superseding this, which during the year 1871 was in part issued as a serial, under the title of Morning Studies and Evening Pastimes, with a result suggesting its te-issue in a more complete and solid form; and, though again sadly delayed, it i's at last sent forth, not without a hope that it may meet with such welcome as will justify its being followed, ere long, by another, touching however on different though kindred themes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Life and Landscape True Life. Thou that hast tuned my reed, if tuned it be, If this high prayer to such low dust belong, Ineffable Inspirer! speak to me, That I sing not an inharmonious song. Speak to me, trembling in thy glory's blaze, That chanting Life, withal I chant thy praise. This earth-strung harp but teaches me to weep, Furrows my aching brow before its time; O! give me now the lyre that I shall sweep Upon the hills of you celestial clime: God! make my spirit like a surging sea, Rolling its thundering anthems up to Thee! Such scope I covet - fitly to adore! Such scope, the import of my theme to scan; Ocean of Life! no swimmer finds a shore; Unfathomable mystery of Man! So vast, so various, whence, or whether, all Shrouded in secrecy as with a pall! Dread dissonance of earth! each life a note Swelling the mighty uproar tempest high; Harmonious voices few, and too remote To temper the wild clamor of the sky; O! for a plunge that ocean to explore! O! for a wing that chaos outsoar! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Sketches and Poems Classic Reprint written by Walter Hinchman and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches and PoemsWalter Hinchman, whose life covered seventy-five years of vivid activity, lived through three greatly varying eras in American history. He knew in boyhood the period when the greater part of the country west of the Mississippi was practically a wilderness, and when the rest of the country was in its first stages of railroad and steamboat travel, photographs generally unknown, and slavery still a fact. During his middle life, scientific discoveries and inventions set the stage for an astonishing material development. Finally, after experi encing in his youth the terrible years of the Civil War, he saw in old age an upheaval which in large part overthrew those things which had been laboriously built up in his lifetime. With much justification he shared the view of so many of his contemporaries, that it was really hard to see where it all might be leading to. Yet he never allowed the pessimism which he felt over international affairs to make of him a gloomy companion. A lover of outdoors, especially in the spring, he was instinctively optimistic. His unfail ing good humor and kindliness were the strongest traits in his character.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
