Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of Forty Years, Vol. 1 of 2 NE of the greatest of Roman Emperors, when lying upon his death-bed at York, said, Omnia feci, nihil expedit. And yet, when asked for the watchword of the night, with his dying breath he gave it: Laboremus. M. De Lesseps, in the course of his long and honoured career, has made the watch word of the dying Emperor his rule of life but he is not likely, when his last hour comes, to look on all the works his hands have wrought and on the labour that he has laboured to do, and find them vanity and vexation of spirit. For what else was the ex clamation of the Roman Emperor but a paraphrase of the Preacher's sermon upon the vanity of all human effort and human enjoyment? In a spiritual sense all this is true enough, no doubt, but the labour of a life mainly devoted to the furtherance of works cal culated to benefit others rather than oneself, and to add to the general sum of the welfare of humanity, is not assuredly wasted.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty Years' Recollections of Life, Literature, and Public Affairs, Vol. 1 of 2: From 1830 to 1870 In the early summer of the year 1832 a young man who had just completed his eighteenth year arrived in London, from Brussels, where he had passed the previous four years in study. He had high hopes, great ambition, vigorous health, and immense inexperience. He had, moreover, a few - a very few - pounds in his pocket, and a small - a very small - credit at an army agency in Westminster, which last was a fund which was only to be available upon occasion of the utmost urgency. This youth had come to London to make, or endeavour to make, his way in literature and journalism. He had once thought of studying law, but had abandoned the idea. He had no taste for theology and divinity and did not think that he was fitted for the pulpit. He had speculated on the possibility of becoming a physician, but did not think on cool reflection that that was his true vocation; and he had an unwise objection to trade. His ancestors, as far back as he could trace them, had all been soldiers, but he lacked interest to obtain a commission, or having had interest it had slipped from his grasp, though he would not have objected to a military career.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Past Times and Pastimes, Vol. 1 of 2 When I bethought me to spend the autumn evenings in jotting down reminiscences, I had no desire to write a biography or an outline of history. I could have done so even of it had been my wish, for the material necessary for the purpose was lacking, and I could not view Irish politics with an impartial eye. Nevertheless, when I came to think about politics and events in Ireland, some materials was available, and I have referred to it. In all other respects I had to rely entirely on memory, for the following reason. In the summer of 1894 my yacht Valkyrie II. was in collision with Satanita at Hunter's Quay on the Clyde, and sank in about four minute. Of course everything went down with her, and, for a long time after, the disappearance of anything was accounted for by "It must have gone down in Valkyrie." About some of the object I had kept did go to the bottom of the sea in over twenty fathoms of water, and I never had the courage to re-write the diary or to start another. I could not, therefore, place events in proper chronological order. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
