Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sara Agnes Rice Pryor (1830 - 1912) was a writer who published two memoirs in the early twentieth century of the mesmerizing times in which she lived. The first few chapters contain Mrs. Pryor's recall of the years she spent in Washington society before the "Civil War." Her husband, Roger Atkinson Pryor (1828-1919) was an able lawyer who was appointed by President Franklin Pierce as a special United States Minister to Greece in 1854. In 1859, after Virginia Congressman William O. Goode died in office, Roger Pryor won his vacant seat in the United States Congress. Of these years, Mrs. Pryor describes the prominent politicians (and their wives) that she met in addition to many well-known foreign dignitaries. She remembers the Southern power presence of those halcyon days: "When the Marine band would play on the veranda of the White House," and the lavish White House parties with "ices in every form from a pair of turtle doves to a pillared temple." Students of fashion history and especially re-enactors will benefit from her careful descriptions of the attire of era, "Our white gloves were short and were finished at the wrist with a fall of lace three or four inches wide, and a band of ribbon and rosette," etc. Of the war privations she writes, "Pins became scarce. People walked about with downcast eyes; they were looking for pins! Thorns were gathered and dried to use as pins. Dentists' gold soon disappeared. The generation succeeding the war period had not good teeth. Anesthetics -- morphine, chloroform, opium--were contraband of war. This was our great grief. Our soldier boys, who had done nothing to bring the war upon the country, must suffer every pang that followed the disasters of battle." Mrs. Pryor's detailed memoirs of the war have been important sources for historians doing research on southern society during and after the Civil War. Incidentally, the author, Sara Agnes Rice Pryor, was one of the founders of the National Daughters of the Revolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Peace and War It will be obvious to the reader that this book affects neither the "dignity of history" nor the authority of political instruction. The causes which precipitated the conflict between the sections and the momentous events which attended the struggle have been recounted by writers competent to the task. But descriptions of battles and civil convulsions do not exhibit the full condition of the South in the crisis. To complete the picture, social characteristics and incidents of private life are indispensable lineaments. It occurs to the author that a plain and unambitious narrative of her recollections of Washington society during the calm which preceded the storm, and of Virginia under the afflictions and sorrows of the fratricidal strife, will not be without interest in the retrospect of that memorable era. The present volume recalls that era in the aspect in which it appeared to a woman rather than as it appeared to a statesman or a philosopher.

Download or read book Chance and Design written by Alan Hodgkin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994-01-28 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alan Hodgkin believes that - contrary to popular conviction - chance plays quite as large a role as design in scientific discovery. This engaging autobiography charts the balance of the two in his own life. Beginning starts with an account of his childhood in an extended Quaker family. Not a great success at school, he nevertheless won a scholarship to Trinity College, Cambridge, and he writes informatively of the climate of university opinion in the thirties when he was an undergraduate and came to abandon the pacifist ideals of his upbringing. A chance observation on frog nerve led to a Trinity Fellowship and a year at the Rockefeller Institute in New York (where he met his future wife), to the Nobel Prize in 1963, and ultimately to the Presidency of the Royal Society. His experiments on nerve conduction seemed almost at the point of success when everything had to be abandoned on the outbreak of war in 1939, and for six years Hodgkin worked on the concept and design of airborne radar, described in the central section of the book as Flight Trials and Tribulations. The account of his return to civilian life and the resumption of experimentation includes two chapters of solid detail of Starting Again - for this is a book for any reader interested in the origin and development of a dedicated scientist.
