In this book little or nothing is said of any of these matters; they do not interest me; they are superficial, and I do not care for surface things they are what divide, and truth is what unites. It is of the humanity which India shares with the rest of the world, the hearts that beat always the same under whatever skin, the ideals that can never be choked by no matter what customs or religions, that this book is concerned with.

Download or read book Court Life of the Second French Empire Classic Reprint written by Le Petit Homme Rough and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Court Life of the Second French Empire Tuileries, and it' is not surprising, perhaps, that it should have occurred to him to pen a record of the last years which he spent there - the chequered years of the Second Empire. The Little Red Man does not claim to have witnessed personally everything which then occurred (he was never ubiquitous), but during his years of leisure he has cultivated a taste for reading, and, naturally enough, he has peeped into virtually everything that has been written about his old surroundings. He has come upon no little absurdity, no small crop of errors, garnered by outsiders, but he has also noted many interesting facts emanating from Court gentlemen and ladies whom be well remembers, though, as he himself usually remained invisible, they were not aware of his presence beside them. Briefly, piecing together his own personal recollections and those of the more reliable men and women of the time, and adding thereto a number of little-known facts and documents, and sketches of the notable people whom he once knew, he has written a book on the Tuileries Court as it was during the last years of his residence at the Palace. He has described the Court's organization, manners, and customs; he has endeavoured to depict both its magnificence and its darker side; he has dealt, neither too harshly nor too indulgently, he hopes, with its fu'volities; he has not forgotten to include some account of its sojourns at such places as Compiegne, Fontainebleau, and St. Cloud; and he has made a few excursions into the realm of politics in order that certain incidents may be the better understood. He here offers the result of his labours to the courteous critic and the indulgent reader; and as on most occasions his appearance in proprid persaud is, unfortunately, a foreboding of trouble, he sincerely trusts that he will never have reason to visit them otherwise than in this present guise of print and paper.

This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oneonta Memories and Sundry Personal Recollections of the Author The early settlers little thought they were forming the nucleus of a town which, within one hundred years, would maintain a population greater in extent than could be found at any other given point, within a section of the Empire State, extending from Kings ton, oh the east, to Cortland, on the west; from Amsterdam on the north, to Binghamton on the south. Oneonta village is Situated upon ground more or less hilly and The Plains a few miles west thereof has often been looked upon as a more natural place for a large town. In a purely physical sense, applied locally, this may be correct, but in considering the respective merits of the two points, in their relation ship to the general topography of the country sur rounding, a person of good judgment, if expressing an opinion, would decidedly answer in the negative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Patriotism and Empire History and poetry, we may be sure, will not willingly let die the antique tale of the three hundred who at Thermopylae held out for Sparta against the Persian host, knowing that there could be but one end, and facing it with a stern exaltation, combing their long hair for that, the last festival, and singing the while - 'Singing of death and of honour that cannot die.' It is true, there are offsets. There was no military wisdom in defending the pass after the Persians had got behind it; and if it was to be defended, it should have been, as before, from the narrows, not, as was finally done, by way of a sortie.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Struggle for Imperial Unity: Recollections and Experiences Some fifteen years ago the late Dr. James Bain, Librarian of the Toronto Public Library, urged me to write my reminiscences. He knew that, as one of the founders of the Canada First party, as Chair man of the Organising Committee of the Imperial Federation League in Canada, then President of it, and after its reorganisation, under the name of the British Empire League in Canada, still President, I had much private information, in connection with the struggle for Imperial Unity, that would be of interest to the public. He was therefore continually urging me to put down my recollections in order that they should be preserved.

Download or read book Personal Recollections and Observations of General Nelson a Miles Embracing a Brief View of the Civil War Or from New England to the Golden Gate Classic Reprint written by Nelson Appleton Miles and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Recollections and Observations of General Nelson a Miles Embracing a Brief View of the Civil War, or From New England to the Golden Gate This Book is largely the result of a desire to comply with the wishes of friends who have expressed the opinion that such a work would find a goodly number of interested readers. It was no part of my purpose to write my memoirs or a history; but rather to retrace, with such readers as shall choose to accompany me, some portions of the journey of life that now lie in the past. It is impossible in a single volume to do justice to all my companions who were engaged in the great cause of the Civil War, or those who engaged in the war for civilization along our western frontier; yet it has been my endeavor to do injustice to none. I have by no means exhausted the important features that marked the original journey, but have aimed to point out briefly, as far as practicable, the more interesting and instructive events so that the time of the reader may be spent not only agreeably, but with some degree of profit. In presenting these thoughts and observations I have hoped to meet the favor of the intelligent, generous American, who I know to be most considerate, and I trust I may rely upon his liberal consideration, especially when it is remembered that I have been obliged to gather and prepare much of the material at spare hours during the time largely taken up with the cares or exacting official duties and responsibilities. In this I have had the earnest assistance of Mr. N. E. Dawson, and for his faithful and zealous labor I desire to express my appreciation. If this narrative shall inspire thought or promote a taste for further research and study along the diversified lines of development in our great and growing country, my efforts will not have been in vain. I have also endeavored to illustrate the difficulties and dangers to which my companions in arms were exposed, in order that, if possible, their services and achievements might be more fully appreciated by the beneficiaries who are now enjoying the fruits of their heroism and sacrifices.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Patriotism and Empire And so the process goes on apace, unless checked by saner and more righteous counsels, until the empire falls prostrate by the weight, not so much of external antagonisms, as of an internal decay which has wasted the opportunities and fruits of industrial activity. Patriot ism becomes more and more the exclusive watchword of a growing military caste, and the civilian population has hurled at it many reproaches if it objects to being too much, or wholly confined to looking after the commissariat and the baggage train.
