Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recreations of a Book-Lover Well, you have given me theme enough for a letter, or two, or more, so if I run on to inordinate length, you and your hundred volumes are responsible. There are bookish martinets who would say, Buy one volume at a time, and read it before you buy another. That is excellent advice for impecunious youth, and in my early days I was compelled to follow it. But you are no longer a youth, and are not impecunious, and you need not regard it. It represents, not the voice of wisdom, but of prudence - quite a different thing - and is only of temporary and limited application. It is good to have books about you in num bers, to look at your shelves and see them there, and to know they are there when you are not looking at them. With what curiously unsatisfying things, by the by. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Confessions of a Book-Lover Part of the present volume appeared in Great Thoughts. Yet here am I, whose name is associated - ii at all - in the memory of readers with 'little thoughts, ' and with booklets impudent in the slenderness of their matter, presumptuously stand ing forth to bow the public into the writer's presence, and essaying to introduce the one to the other. The necessary explanation shall be brief. I must have been a young man, and Mr. E. Walter Walters a boy, when he and I last met; indeed I am not sure that I altogether remember him. But his father, who bore an honoured name, I well remember. The Rev. W. D. Walters and my own dear and honoured father were personal friends; and when the former's son sent me a manuscript of a book, with the request that I should write an introduction, how could I do otherwise than accede, and express myself honoured by the invitation?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Recreations and Miscellanies Oi my voyage out I need not write, as I have spoken of it in my letters already, and it greatly irks me to think of it. Oh, a very long, dismal time of sickness and great discomforts, and many sad thoughts of all I had left, behind, and fears of all I was going to meet in the New England! I can liken it only to an ugly dream. When we got at last to Boston, the sight of the land and trees. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Diversions of a Book Lover Classic Reprint written by Adrian H. Joline and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diversions of a Book-Lover A book must have an index, a title-page, and a preface. Such is the unwritten law, but no one pays much attention to a preface unless it is short. Barry Cornwall said: "Always read the preface to a book. It places you on vantage-ground and enables you to survey more completely the book itself. You frequently also discern the character of the author from the preface." More than a century ago the ingenious Mr. John Home Tooke published the first volume of The Diversions of Purley, but he made his philology subordinate to his peculiar philosophy. "Diversions," I understand, are those things which turn or draw the mind from care, business, or study, and thus rest and amuse. In these discursive papers I have aimed to keep within the definition.

Download or read book Literary Recreations Classic Reprint written by Edward Cook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Recreations The President of the Board of Education said the other day that in these dark times we were entitled to draw consolation whence we might, and that there was a legitimate source of con solation in the spread of the reading habit. Mr. Fisher has seen evidences of it in every omnibus, tram-car, and railway-carriage. Even in the trenches, he added, much reading goes on. There are probably few men who, like General Smuts, have studied the Critique of Pure Reason during a raid; but Mr. Fisher has known instances of officers enjoying the solace of Keats and Milton under the hottest fire, and an anecdote is recorded below (p. 46) of a man in the Lancashire Fusiliers who went into battle with a book by Ruskin. Perhaps, therefore, it may not be taken as any sign of undue detachment from the stress of great events that the author of this little book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book-Lover's: Holidays in the Open The man should have youth and strength who seeks adventure in the Wide, waste spaces of the earth, in the marshes, and among the vast mountain masses, in the northern forests, amid the steaming jungles of the tropics, or on the deserts of sand or of snow. He must long greatly for the lonely winds that blow across the wilderness, and for sunrise and sunset over the rim of the empty world. His heart must thrill for the saddle and not for the hearthstone. He must be helmsman and chief, the cragsman, the rifleman, the boat steerer. He must be the wielder of axe and of paddle, the rider of fiery horses, the master of the craft that leaps through white water. His eye must be true and quick, his hand steady and strong. His heart must never fail nor his head grow bewildered, whether he face brute and human foes, or the frowning strength of hostile nature, or the awful fear that grips those who are lost in trackless lands. Wearing toil and hardship shall be his; thirst and famine he shall face, and burning fever. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Recreations of Christopher North So was it once with us and the Highlands. That too much familiarity breeds contempt we learned many a long year ago, when learning to write large text; and passages in our life have been a running commentary on the theme then set us by that incomparable caligraphist, Butterworth. All the old familiar faces occasionally come in for a portion of that feeling; and on that ac count, we are glad that we saw, but for one day and one night, Charles Lamb's. Therefore, some dozen years ago we gave up the Highlands, not wishing to quarrel with them, and confined our tender assiduities to the Lowlands, while, like two great Flats as we were, we kept staring away at each other, with our lives on the same level. All the consequences that might naturally have been expected have ensued; and we are now as heartily sick of the Lowlands, and they of us. What can we do but return to our First Love?
