Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections and Reflections IT is never worth while to publish writings which need not have been given to the world, and then to offer an apology for their publication. I do not seek, there fore, to excuse myself for writing this book. I will only say that nearly at the same time two firms of publishers applied to me for my memoirs, and soon afterwards the head of a third firm expressed his willingness to issue them. It has been a pleasure, not wholly free from sadness, to revive so many old associations. The experience of most people who have lived some time in the world is, I suppose, that they form, more or less unwittingly, certain conclusions which they themselves hold strongly, perhaps too strongly, and which they think may be of some use to others. If among my own conclusions there are any which may be felt to suggest or emphasise the true course of public duty or wisdom, I cannot be sorry that I have made them known. But when I had finished the book, it was found to be a good deal longer than I had promised or the publishers had expected, and a part of the Reflections has, therefore, to my regret, been omitted. It will perhaps appear some day in another form. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Recollections and Reflections Perhaps there is nobody in this world who is passing his life without any disappointment. If there were, he must be a fool. On the other hand, if one has nothing but all disappointments, he is still greater a fool. Because this world is not made especially for any certain people. We all had or have some ambition, and the world does not always fulfil our ambitions. When our ambition is not fulfilled it irritates our sense, and that irritation becomes a solid crystallisation in our minds, which we call "disappointment." Therefore those who have no disappointment must have neither ambition nor sense to be irritated. They must be fools no doubt! But if one meets with some disappointments, each time he ought to get the most valuable thing called "wisdom" in his head.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Did I Know: Recollections and Reflections Most of the following pages were written, in their original form, during the summer of 1961. I have added and changed much since then, but always in the spirit of the first draft, so that the additions and changes are a prolongation and clarification of a mood. This is the only artifice I have employed; everything here recorded is as faithful to fact as copious notes and a self-serving memory can make it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Rambler's Recollections and Reflections IN my Preface I address myself mainly to the pro fessional critic and reviewer and to the anglo-indian official, and I plead their kindly generosity. To the critics I would say that I am an entertainer pure and simple, with no habit of the pen whatever. I feel that in their presence I am but as the dust of the earth (only, however, in reference to their own special line of life). I am like an amateur sitting down to play my first game of chess with Lasker or Black burne or starting out to box with Carpentier or Jack Johnson. Remember, what is sport to you is death to me you know the rules of the game - I don't so as you are strong be merciful to my humble efforts.

This book was released on 2017-02-18 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections and Reflections of an Old Itinerant: A Series of Letters, Originally Published in the Christian Advocate and Journal and the Western Christian Advocate Reflections now before us must furnish many pro fitable lessons, and be eminently worthy of attention. It will be seen from the Letters themselves, that, at the time they were written, the author had no intention ever to republish them. He had furnished a letter, embracing some interesting incidents relating to the introduction and progress Of Methodism in the west, for the Western Christian Advocate - rand this, which will be found in its appropriate place in this volume, excited so much interest, as to-induce a formal appli cation from the corresponding secretary of the Western Methodist Historical Society for further details, which were cheerfully given, and subsequently published. A letter was afterward written for the Christian Ad vocate and Journal; and in compliance with the so licitation of Dr. Ad, the senior editor of that Journal, the Letters followed which comprise the greater part of the series. They are now, in accordance with the wishes Of esteemed and intelligent friends, presented to the public in the present form. Suchfias they are, says the author, they cost me much thought and labor, and many prayers and tears. They are sent forth with fervent prayer to God that they may be.

In doing so, I hope that it may find a welcome with those members of the trade with whom I have been in happy association for over sixty years, and that my experience may be a stimulus to those who are still plodding their way among the many details of what I consider one of the most interesting and fascinating trades, a trade of which all the details are never learned.

Download or read book Recollections of My Youth Classic Reprint written by Ernest Renan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of My Youth This it is which has given birth to the six chapters which make up the present volume. The recollections of my childhood do not pretend to form a complete and continuous narrative. They are merely the images which arose before me and the reflections which suggested themselves to me while I was calling up a past fifty years old, written down in the order in which they came. Goethe selected as the title for his memoirs Truth and Poetry, thereby signifying that a man cannot write his own biography in the same way that he would that of any one else. What one says of oneself is always poetical. To fancy that the small details of one's own life are worth recording is to be guilty of very petty vanity. A man writes such things in order to transmit to others the theory of the universe which he carries within himself. The form of the present w'ork seemed to me a convenient one for expressing certain shades of thought which my previous writings did not convey. I had no desire to furnish information about myself for the future use of those who might wish to write essays or articles about me.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of College Life: At Marshall College, Mercersburg, Pa;, From 1839 to 1845: A Narrative, With Reflections The work here introduced to the public is one which, in our judgment, will not fail to interest the reader. It invites atten tion first of all from those who were in 'any way connected with Marshall College, and the Theological Seminary which shared in its early struggles. It will be read with interest also by the members of the Reformed Church generally, as it gives a his tory of the founding and trials of these first literary and theo logical institutions established by that Church in this country. But it may fairly challenge attention on the part of a wider public also, 'which may be interested in the history and genius of a branch of the Reformed Church of the sixteenth century, in its earlier development in this new world. And we do not overestimate it, we think, when we predict that it will be read with interest by those who appreciate a work of this kind for its literary character, and its able treatment of subjects that per tain to the general culture of the times.
