Download or read book Great Portraits Children Classic Reprint written by Philip Leslie Hale and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-26 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Portraits: Children Still, practically every great painter has tried his hand at painting children at least once or twice, and most of them have produced excellent work; only a man may turn out a very respectable portrait of a child and yet not be a true painter of children. To do that well there is needed a certain insight into child charac ter. Not that a child has a very subtle or complicated character, but it is a character all the same and one that can be divined only by sympathy. Constable once said that to a man who approached Nature in an arrogant spirit her choicest beauties re mained forever veiled. One might 'say this particularly about children. We feel instinctively that only those who love children can paint them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Portraits of American Women Classic Reprint written by Gamaliel Bradford and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portraits of American Women This book might almost be called Portraits of New England Women, since, with the exception of Miss Willard, all of the subjects studied in it were born in New England. As I had devoted a good many years to distinguished representatives of other parts of the country, I felt at liberty to confine my researches for a brief period to souls nearer home. In the study of women it is especially difficult to obtain satisfactory material, and material affecting the lives of New England women was most readily accessible to me. At the same time, of the seven New England characters here portrayed, at least three, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Margaret Fuller Ossoli, and Louisa May Alcott, are so thoroughly iden tified with the country at large that one hardly thinks of their birthplace. Abigail Adams, Mary Lyon, and Emily Dickinson are known to a great number of their countrywomen and Sarah Alden Ripley ought to be so. I hope, moreover, to follow this series with another, embracing prominent women of other sections. I am under deep obligation to various persons for assistance in my work. Mrs. Ripley's grandchildren have kindly supplied me with numerous letters, without which it would have been impossible to make an ade quate study of her. Miss Charlotte A. Hedge has lent me letters of Margaret Fuller to Dr. F. H. Hedge, and the Boston Public Library has placed its valuable Ossoli manuscripts at my disposal. Mount Holyoke College has enabled me to make use of a most interest ing collection of reminiscences of Mary Lyon.

Download or read book Some Portraits of Women written by Paul Bourget and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-11 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Portraits of Women: Voyageuses Here on my table, within reach of my hand, lie fifteen or twenty volumes of manuscript, some thicker and some thinner, with the following titles: Provence, Italy, Spain, England, Greece, Syria, Palestine, Morocco, Germany, America like the table of contents of a hand-book of geography. It gives me pleasure to turn over the pages of this journal of my enthusiastically vagrant youth, as it did, when a child, to look over the herbarium in which I preserved, with dates and names, the plants gathered in my school-boy walks. Innumerable human silhouettes take life for me across these pages. Those that I evoke most gladly are faces of women, seen for a week, a day, an hour the romance of whose lives I divined (or, per haps, imagined) from some sudden incident of travel. Some of these occurrences are recent, others remote. One or two remain associated with tragic memories. I have brought together several of them which seem to me to form a whole, giving them this common title of Voyw geuses, because it is really a series of portraits of women whom I have met thus casually, sketched in the rapid light of the most eeting impression. For once our paths crossed, never again to meet in this world. In regard to most of them, I do not know where they live.

For if they were too often, alas! Corrupt, they were. No more than any other human being, wholly corrupt. When one thinks of them, one must needs think too of a tact and kindliness most womanly and most rare, of hearts not a little generous, of ideals not always base, and of a wit, tenderness, and under standing that must have made social life a witch's charm for care.

The writers may have been quite unknown to us, they may have been laid in their graves long before we were born yet as we read their story - written, of course, without a thought of publication, only for one pair of eyes to read - they take vitality and flesh and blood, and become as human as ourselves. A singer of our own day has shown the strange irony of fate, that a fragile toy of chicken-skin and ivory should survive the wear of years, the dangers of several revolutions, and remain unblemished, while the beautiful, imperious hand that wielded it has long ago mouldered into dust.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portraits of Women of the Bible: Old Testament Series The following character-sketches were given in the ordinary course of my pulpit ministrations. The members of the congregation were interested in them during their delivery, and the suggestion was made that they might be put into a more permanent form hence this volume. The title of the book sufficiently describes its aim; the lectures are pen-portraits, and the endeavour has been to faithfully reproduce the living features of the original. I have ventured, however, in one or two of the sketches - as e.g. In the case of Rizpah - to fill up that which was lacking in the Scripture narrative in order to give a measure of completeness to the portrait. In others a few simple lessons are suggested; but for the most part the character-sketch is allowed to speak for itself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pen-Portraits of Literary Women, Vol. 1: By Themselves and Others This book was suggested by Mr. Mason's "Personal Traits of British Authors," published by Charles Scribner's Sons. With a single exception - Charlotte Bronte - the editor of that excellent work excluded from his pages the literary women of England. The belief that the public would find interest in a presentation of the characteristics and surroundings of many of these women, has induced us to supplement Mr. Mason's volumes with the present series of "Pen Portraits."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Woman's Story, as Told by Twenty American Women: With Portraits, and Sketches of the Authors The woman's story as told by twenty American women is a composite picture of the representative fiction work of the female writers of the republic. It is one which depicts the types and characteristics of people who unitedly compose our young nation. The composite woman's picture is full of patriotic fire; of the fervor and faith of free institutions, and is distin guished by a zealous allegiance to the domestic quali ties of the people, which have found widest expression under our form of government. The difierences in population; the varieties of classes, and the broad distinctions in local coloring are vividly exhibited in the annals of American fiction, the largest contributors to which are women. The compilation represents the field of fiction, from the appearance of the first great American novel to the present day. Mrs. Stowe's sketch of New England life, which Opens the volume, was the forerunner of Uncle Tom's Cabin, and is as graphic 3 pen-picture of the phase of life it represents as was her famous novel of slavery. Miss Alcott's Transcendental Wild Oats is the truest delineation of the salient features of the Transcendental movement yet made, and is as striking in its faithfulness as is Mrs. Stowe's Uncle Lot.
