Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richmond, Her Past and Present The history of a city is largely the history of a State, and this is especially true when that city is the Capital of the State. Rich mond can claim an historical inheritance greater than this: her history is peculiarly interwoven with that of the United States, both at its formative period and at the great crisis that threatened the existence of the Union. Being the Capital of the Confederacy, she was from the beginning of the Civil War to the end the most notable city of the country at that time. No city in America, there fore, is richer in historical interest than is Richmond. In addition to this she has a local history of men and movements which is of especial value to every one connected with the city who appreciates the efforts of the fathers to bequeath to them a beautiful, well-built and well-ordered place of habitation. I have undertaken to trace this history from the time the white man first appeared on the banks of the Powhatan and in honor of his sovereign called it the James, until to-day. With a wealth of material and a limited space, it has been difficult to thread my way along the years and to know what to leave out and what to put in the book. It has been my purpose to represent every phase of the city's life and to tell something of interest to the people of every class - professional, commercial, industrial and social. At the risk of being tedious I have given the names of the men back of the movements in order that we may become acquainted with the builders of our city as they come before the eyes of the public. The names of many worthy citizens have not been mentioned because they did not happen to come before the public vision. I have told of a few crimes which have been so notorious as to become a part of the history and many I have omitted. My purpose has been to spare as much as possible the feelings of those connected with the criminals. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richmond: Her Glory and Her Graves, a Poem Richmond. Part First. I. Upon her rock-girt hills she stood, The City of the brave and good, Virginia's boast and pride: - God's sunshine on her brightly smiled, As Fortune on some favored child, Whom Heaven no gift denied. II. The morning light around her shone In roseate hues like Glory's own - The Day a splendor wore, That over Rome's imperial towers, Or Babylon's enchanted bowers, It never threw before. III. Sweet Night embraced her, like a friend, Who would the quiet pillow tend And dreams of rapture share, - While from the far off midnight skies, The stars looked down with sentry eyes Upon the slumberer fair.

Download or read book Richmond written by Charles Ellis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richmond: And Other Poems Scarce daring to hope, yet hoping, that his work is not wholly unworthy of perusal, the author presents his small book of verses to the notice of those who, loving poetry, in the warmth of their hearts, are patient to seek for it in humble walks, and regret not the time thus spent, should they find a few wild flowers. When a man prints he should hope for criticism, nor deem it over harsh if an unpleasant truth be told it may save further folly in that direction, or awakening in his mind the knowledge of an untried strength, may fit him for the achievement. Of nobler things. If we are to grant full credence to anecdotes of the labours of genius in pursuit of perfection, and though seeming wonderful, our own humble experience with objects of less loftiness would urge belief, too much patient and careful correction cannot be bestowed on a poem or essay, or indeed on any literary work designed to benefit the mind usefully or pleasurably.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Richmond Examiner During the War: Or the Writings of John M. Daniel President Buchanan is the last of the family of Presidents. He was learned in their school, looked and spoke, and endeavored to act and think as they did. The historical character which he desired to leave was one like theirs, and, whatever the failure in essentials, the style and outward mould was that of the Madisons, the Monroes, the Van Burens, Tylers, Polks. We would be uncandid to say that he has filled their measure; for though the retiring President is one of the most distinguished figures of our day; has passed a long life in the most splendid employment; and though he must always be reckoned as one of the most eminent and celebrated statesmen of this country, it is impossible to deny that his administration has been unequal to his fame; that he has left chaos where he found order, ruin where he found prosperity; or that much of this disaster may be fairly charged to his faults of character and policy.
