Download or read book Richmond on the Thames Classic Reprint written by Richard Garnett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richmond on the Thames Not wholly in the busy world, nor quite Beyond it, blooms the garden that I love. These lines of the poet express the sentiment which has always guided monarchs, statesmen, and others engaged in the practical business of the world, in the selection of retreats from the cares of government and business. Hence some of the most delightful spots on earth are found in the Vicinity of great cities, where taste has taken advantage of natural beauty, and converted fields and woods into parks and gardens. It may be, however, that the world has now seen almost the last of such firm in uree. Two causes militate strongly against their perpetuation - the vast increase in the dimensions of modern cities, so infinitely beyond anything that could have been anticipated in past ages, and the still less expected acceleration of the means of transit, which now enables recreation to be sought at considerable distances without relaxing the sovereign's or the statesman's hold upon public affairs. Henry VII., the second founder of Richmond and the bestower of its present appellation, had a palace at Greenwich also. No place could have seemed more appropriate for the residence of the sovereign of a great marine state, on the way to be the first sea - power in the world; and there, in fact, Queen Elizabeth by preference received foreign ambassadors. By the time of Charles II., however, residence there had become impossible even to a less pleasure - loving sovereign, and only the happy thought of Nell Gwynne (if it was hers) has preserved Greenwich as an object of national pride and interest. Richmond has suffered less. It will appear from the following pages how the creation of the park, and of the gardens of the adjacent Kew, while in a measure encouraging residence, have protected it from being utterly swamped by suburban extension and merely utilitarian encroachments. Yet its royal days are over; its warmest admirers must acknowledge that the Sovereign is more fitly established at Windsor, and that, should any change occur, it will rather be in the direction of greater remoteness from, than closer proximity to the capital. Its destiny in the future is that of a retreat and playground for the people, especially for the metropolis, and great will be their shame and loss if they suffer it to be spoiled either by the sinister interests or the meddlesome interference which are always conspiring against the beautiful.

Book excerpt: Hers Was a Case of Conspiracy . . . . . . as the African continent comes under siege by very horrid theories. But the assignment of one BBC reporter to decipher the true revelations of hell emanating from Sierra Leone brings him one step closer to her most crucial assignment. The Nigerian woman Eni Jacobs must save her marriage even as the news of her affair with the bishop of her father's ministry hit the World Wide Web. She is isolated and stigmatised, even when their affair is a ripple effect of an old flame she must avoid now. Bishop Lloyd is married. Besides, Eni is getting married to his younger brother, Luke, in two weeks. A Hope James C. Nwabueze writes with aplomb on such real issues that beset us as humans: the concept of our frailty, the demand for morality, the reality of hell. Eni returns to her family in Nigeria to face the shame and horror. But how can she cope through all these? Will Luke accept her back? And what about her newfangled feelings for Smith, the BBC reporter who now seeks to see her through this mess for Luke's place? Will she accept his offer or fight to make her marriage work, even with the last revelation that will change their lives forever? The last sin? Author's Note The Last Sin is a novel based on a true African story, set in Nigeria and the UK. These events, however, are entirely fictitious and bear no claim to any organisation or anyone whether dead or alive. Other names, co-ops, and scenes are nothing more than figments of the author's imagination, bent upon creating the most believable, picturesque background for the reading delight of our numerous readers. Also, The conversations, quotations, and thought lines used in this book have been greatly inspired from the author's own philosophical point of view. However, it may be quoted only in the context of the particular scene, situation, or character for better allusion.
