Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections and Impressions In giving these Recollections and Impressions to the public, I feel some sort of explanation is due, - and the explanation is, that they were written at long intervals during the last four or five years, entirely for my grandchildren, and are therefore of a more domestic character than if a larger audience had been anticipated. I have never kept a diary, and am conscious that what I have written is often very desultory, and at all times it is difficult to keep reminiscences from being a dry catalogue of names. Had I even suppressed the personal note, the sketches of well-known people who came into our life might appear too like detached portraits, lacking a frame. Such as they are, I shall feel grateful and pleased if my readers find some little interest in any of them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections and Impressions, 1822-1890 My father was, as I have said elsewhere, a clergyman in Boston, Massachusetts, a Unitarian minister to the First Church, standing in a long line of men, of whom the earliest was severely orthodox, while he abhorred orthodoxy. Yet he was ordained without hesitation, was more than acceptable to the best minds through a service of thirty-five years, and continued more and more unorthodox to the end; so gradually and insensibly did the Puritan tenets disappear one by one until the shadow of them only remained. We are assured that by 1780 nearly all the congregational pulpits were filled by Arminians. In 1815, the year of my father's ordination, they were well domesticated in New England, Calvinism having lost its hold on the minds of thinking people, and none but keen-eyed watchers on the tower seeing what course opinion was taking.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Recollections and Impressions of Abraham Lincoln Someone has said, That nation is death-stricken that ceases to reverence the memory of her great men. And so we in America are raising memorials to our Washingtons, our Lincolns, our Grants, our Roosevelts, and are commemorating their birth days. The British are doing the same for their great heroes. There is a good deal in common between our British cousins and ourselves. John Wesley was a Britisher but there are millions in our land to-day who also claim him as theirs. No man could possibly be more of an American than was Abraham Lincoln, but today he belongs to the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reprint of "Recollections of Cincinnati" The reproduction of Recollections of Cincinnati, by Gor ham A. Worth, is largely owing to the author's attractive and racy manner of recounting his impressions of the city and its inhabitants, received while a resident there in early days. This, taken in connection with the evidence obtained of the scarcity of existing copies of this small publication, seems to justify a reprint.

Download or read book Recollections and Impressions of James A McNeill Whistler Classic Reprint written by Arthur Jerome Eddy and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections and Impressions of James A. McNeill Whistler Most of what is contained herein has been collected from time to time within the past ten years and jotted down for use in certain lectures on Whistler and his art. The lectures were, as is this book, a tribute to the great painter. The reminiscences are mostly personal. Many of the anecdotes - though perhaps equally familiar to others - were had from the artist's own lips. The views concerning his art, whether right or wrong, were formed while watching him at work day after day, and after many interviews in which, now and then, he would speak plainly concerning art. At the same time not so much as a thought must be attributed to him unless expressly quoted. The biographical data - just sufficient to furnish a connecting thread and aid in the appreciation - have been gathered from casual sources, and are, no doubt, subject to incidental corrections. Only when a duly authorized "life and letters" is published by those who have access to the material that must exist will the great artist be known by the world as he really was - a profoundly earnest, serious, loving, and lovable man. Meanwhile, those who believe in his art must - like the writer -speak their convictions for what they are worth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories and Impressions: 1831-1900 The present volume has not the character of an Autobiography; nor, indeed, could its author plead any of the usual excuses for publishing a Memoir of himself. It is not the life-history of one who has attained to eminence; it is not the record of an eventful career; it contains few, if any, graphic pictures of remarkable scenes or remarkable men. Since I am not one who has kept a diary, some noteworthy incidents have doubtless escaped my recollection; while, on the other hand, I have been under no temptation to insert extracts on matters of slight importance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Musical Reminiscences and Impressions I had materials of sufficient interest at my disposal. I had not, however, written many pages, before I began to live again in the past. Incidents which i I had almost forgotten came before me as vividly as if they had occurred but yesterday. I saw, in imagination, the faces and figures of musicians, the lives and doings of whom the younger generations read as matters of musical history. For me, whilst penning my recollections, these musicians of the past were just as present as they were years ago when I was holding converse with them, or when I saw them at the festival or concert in which they were taking part. Some of these celebrities still live in their works, and are thus in a manner present amongst us; but the great singers and the world famed executants I have written about are, for the most part, but a name to those who have not had the privilege, as I had, of hearing them. The voice of many a celebrated singer of bygone days still rings in my ears, although now for ever mute. I.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections as a Source of History: A Paper Read by Edward L. Pierce Before the Massachusetts Historical Society, March 12, 1896 One need not be as old as seventy-nine to distrust himself in this respect. If any one of us were to have all his letters written in youth and early manhood brought to him, he would find in them vivid pictures of some scenes which he had wholly forgotten and could not, even with the assistance of the written account, recall, and of other scenes which lay in his mind very differently. From the way in which he described them at the time. Retentiveness of memory in persons of equal intelligence varies greatly. Some retain only general impressions, while others retain a firm hold on details. When I used in the seventies to ask Mr, Longfellow about things occurring in the thirties and forties, he would often say, You had better ask Hillard. The latter was remarkable for the freshness and accuracy of his recollections; and the same may be said of the late Judge Hoar. One frailty which perplexes advancing years is the incapa city to distinguish between what one has seen and what one has only heard; and the result is that the two kinds of knowl edge are hopelessly mixed together. The late Henry W. Paine, while still holding a foremost rank at the bar, used to describe a scene witnessed by him when Daniel Webster pre sented publicly to Charles Sumner, then a' youth, a prize for an essay. Mr. Paine on reading Sumner's Memoir (vol. I. Pp. 73, 74) discovered that he had fallen into an anachronism, as the presentation took place before he and Sumner met as stu dents at the Harvard Law School. Happening to see his old comrade at the school, Wendell Phillips, enter the court room, he communicated to him his error, saying, What a wretched thing, Wendell, the memory is! The explana tion is, that Mr. Paine had in early life heard the Story, and, telling it often, had come to believe that he himself Was present.

This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Recollections of Abraham Lincoln Lincoln lore has become so rich in recent years, and so voluminous withal, that he who would add to it must needs show cause why his book should be read. And yet, in spite of all that has been written, it cannot be said that we yet have a thoroughly satisfactory interpretation of the life and work and character of our First American. A few have had the necessary knowledge and sympathy, but their literary power has not always been adequate. Others have written well, but they have failed of insight and understanding. In the meantime the volume of facts, impressions, and reminiscences increases, and by assembling items from a variety of sources we are coming to a composite conception of our prophet-president that is at once vivid and satisfying.
