Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bancrofts: Recollections of Sixty Years Shortly after the close of our twenty years of management, in 1885, we devoted two volumes to an account of our careers both On and Off the' Stage. That work, after running through seven editions - a success as gratifying as it was surprising to two authors unused to the pen - was allowed to go out of print. Since then we have both been asked so often whether we had written, or why we did not write, our reminiscences, that the idea occurred to us of comprising within a single book the whole of our memories of sixty years. This is our apology for re-telling in a different way, and with that greater freedom which is born of the lapse of time, things which happened in the first half of that long period. In my task of compiling these memoirs I have been greatly aided by the words of my wife, which I have used wherever able to do so, and by the fact that every page has had the benefit of her help and counsel. For the egotism displayed in the following story I offer no excuse. Egotism is inseparable from autobiography.

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.

It was an adventure in which only rugged personalities engage, if the ideals held in View are great enough to overcome the terrors of the flesh, through the strength of their appeal to the spirit. The early settlers sought for a liberty in the wilds that was denied them in the cities of men. They sought to establish justice under the free skies of uncharted shores, because it was not given to them by the courts of the land they left. It was this sacrifice on their part that gave to American civilization its ever-enduring greatness, based upon the right to be free and the belief in justice.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sixty Years Memories of Art and Artists I have to apologize to the readers of this little book of memories for appearing before the public as a writer, for I have no claims to literary merit. My friends have urged me to this because they say I am one of the very few links remaining to connect the older generation of artists with the present schools, and they have thought what I might say of the long past and succeeding years might be of interest at the present time to students in art. Much of this story was written some six or seven years ago and put aside as of no value, but again I was urged to go on, and now have recorded my im pressions and clear recollections of times past.

If I have persevered it is partly because I would like to inaugurate in my family the fashion of memoir making. I will confess, too, that some of the in cidents of travel and sport are so real, even after the lapse of years, and the passing of the old activity, that I do not wish them to die with me. I seek to give them a fresh lease of life in the memory of those who have cared for me and will remaln behind, and I dedicate them to my wife and to my children.

Download or read book Sixty Years in Upper Canada With Autobiographical Recollections Classic Reprint written by Charles Clarke and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-08 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sixty Years in Upper Canada With Autobiographical Recollections The story to be related by me, at the request of various friends, is one marked by few uncommon incidents and fewer extraordinary events. It tells somewhat of the social advancement of Upper Canada, and much more of its political progress, and I have endeavored to portray, candidly and faithfully, some of the leading occurrences of the past sixty years in that direction. In that time I have witnessed the new growth of an old Province, now rejuvenated and well on its way to manhood and nationality. To do this with a knowledge that men are still living, or have but lately passed from the scene, under and largely by whom these changes have been effected, is to attempt a difficult task. It is to write, to some extent at least, with fettered hands, and to be tempted to almost beg a question when outspokenness is preferable.

The people did not live so fast then, but enjoyed themselves as thoroughly, had more real com fort, and were possessed of more sociability, every man knowing his neighbor and calling him friend. There were many places in the city at which their leisure hours could be passed pleasantly. The Battery was then a large, Open park, containing many fine shade-trees, and fronted by handsome dwellings on State street and Market field street, affording a delightful place for a promenade of a warm day or evening, not the least pleasant feature of which was the sniff of old ocean in the breeze from the harbor in front, the islands in the bay and the far-off hills of Staten Island and New Jersey furnishing the picturesque.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Life: Sixty Years' Recollections of Bohemian London I began these reminiscences, written at the suggestion of my friend the editor of the Evening News, in the first hour of the year 1916. The front door was flung wide at five minutes to midnight on December 31, 1915, and as the last Of the twelve momentous Shocks of sound died away a dark man in the Shape Of a friendly policeman did me the kindly service of being the first to cross my threshold. And now that the New Year has come to us amid an almost oppressive stillness, with no gay clang of church bells, and only a far distant and apparently restrained welcome by the steam-whistles and the hooters of the great works where labour toils through the night, I sit down in my grandfather's big cane-seated arm-chair and peer into the dim and distant past. In the hour that my land is athrill and athrob with the alarums and excursions of the greatest war the world has ever known, my memory carries me back to the day just upon Sixty years since when all London was abroad far into the night celebrating the blessed peace that had come to us after the agonies of the Crimea. I gaze from my window into the blacked-out expanse of the park, and I see once again the skies of that memorable May night ablaze. From Hyde Park, from Victoria Park, from St. James's Park, and from Primrose Hill a thousand devices in golden flame have been hurled into the air. But no fireworks of joy flame in the night skies above me in the year that we have just entered upon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
