Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes and Memories My Dear Children, The impressions gathered together in this book, though written most of them in this last decade, are all of them taken from very voluminous recollections jotted down at a much earlier period. If one day any of you think it worth while to publish these wider recollections, they will give a true picture of the world as it has appeared to me; for it has, throughout, been my aim to give an exact representation of my impressions of events, things, and people. That will be their only merit. I must explain, however, that the last chapter of this book, 'The Mysterious City, ' which has never been published, is a fantasy written to please a friend long since passed away, by collating records about some very interesting but unknown villas around Florence of which he had taken the photographs. The events I allude to are all true, and most of them I witnessed myself during my frequent and long sojourns in the Mysterious City; it will, however, be readily understood that names could not be given, though many of them will easily be guessed by those who knew the Florence of that day.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shifting Scenes: Or Memories of Many Men in Many Lands Now that it is over I look back on the experience with equanimity. The beginning terrified me. All hypnotic doings have about them something of the awful. To be compelled, whether you wish it or not, to obey another is humiliating, but if you add to this that the hypnotizer is an immaterial being with human intelligence and a supernatural dexterity in exercising it, my mental though powerless revolt against the pressure which was being exercised upon me will be easily understood. I am an unusually good sleeper, and ascribe to this talent in great measure the steady duration of my health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories and Impressions: 1831-1900 The present volume has not the character of an Autobiography; nor, indeed, could its author plead any of the usual excuses for publishing a Memoir of himself. It is not the life-history of one who has attained to eminence; it is not the record of an eventful career; it contains few, if any, graphic pictures of remarkable scenes or remarkable men. Since I am not one who has kept a diary, some noteworthy incidents have doubtless escaped my recollection; while, on the other hand, I have been under no temptation to insert extracts on matters of slight importance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories and Musings When Friend Meets Friend We love the scene where friend meets friend - The quickened step, the mutual gaze, The proffered hand, the heart ablaze. No vicious plot, All ills forgot, When friend meets friend. Past scenes return when friend meets friend - Perhaps a day has passed or more, Perhaps a year, mayhap a score. Years count for naught, Past scene's the thought When friend meets friend. Time takes to wings when friend meets friend - A chat or two, an hour or so, A chore deferred, the sun sinks low, The day is done Ere it's begun When friend meets friend. The mask is raised when friend meets friend - Those secrets held to self most dear One must confide to trusted ear. One joy, one fear, One common tear When friend meets friend. Two Pens At the conference table over the sea Two pens were reflecting in deep reverie. One pen was from Krupp, quite boisterous and bold, And one was of Bethlehem steel, we were told. Said the pen from Krupp to the Bethlehem steel, "Let's confide in each other and our histories reveal." So these are the stories they tell to each other, The pen of Krupp and his Bethlehem brother, As they lay on the table end to end, Where the League of Nation's men have penned.

Download or read book War Memories Classic Reprint written by Frank A. Holden and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Memories Here it is - a little book which reflects upon every page the intimate heart-life of the American boy in France, during the World War - what he saw and felt and thought and did, not only in the great crises of battle; but on the march and in the camp - setting forth the first impressions made upon a soldier's mind, under foreign skies, at the cannon 's mouth, and revealing the fact that everywhere and always his thoughts were of the dear ones at home, thousands of miles across the seas. It is like a mirror in its faithful reproduction of the simpler elements which enter into vast and splen did scenes. We have heard much of general move ments; of grand climaxes; of superb exhibitions of man-power, in rthe aggregate; of millions, upon one side, confronting millions upon another; and so vast has been the picture presented to our minds that we have utterly failed to grasp it, except in its out standing characteristics. We have heard too little of the human side of the great wan - too little ofthe things which carry a direct appeal to the deep heart of America. We have been hungry for the minor details - for the smaller threads for the frag mentary episodes and incidents - for the rare and delicate and tender touches of color which are need ed to complete the picture, and to give it beauty, pathos, power and charm. Ever since, in the lone solitudes of the night, we first began to wonder where our boys were, on the other side - if they were still safe - we have longed for such a book; and so far as our personal observa tion extends it is the very first book of this character to appear in print, on either side of the water. The experiences of one soldier are not unlike those of another; and every fond parent who reads this book will feel that his or her boy is writing, though it may be that his spirit now looks down upon them from the unseen halls of the Great Valhalla.

Download or read book Memories of Three Score Years and Ten Classic Reprint written by Richard McIlwaine and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of Three Score Years and Ten This volume was begun with special reference to my kinspeople. As it developed it seemed to contain matter of interest to a wider circle; sketches of honored and useful men and women, whose memory ought to be cherished; scenes in bygone days and stirring times, little known to the present generation; suggestions drawn from experience, which may be of value, specially to the young entering on the duties of life. It covers a period of nearly "three-score years and ten," spent under a variety of conditions, embracing: childhood; school days; college, university and seminary life; a visit in youth to Ireland, the home of my ancestors; travel and study abroad at a later period; pastoral work in Amelia, Farmville and Lynchburg, Virginia; service in the army of the Confederate States as lieutenant and chaplain; the progress and close of the Civil War and of Reconstruction in Virginia; a period of service as Secretary of Missions of the Southern Presbyterian Church (1872-1883), including Reconstruction in South Carolina (1872-5); presidency of Hampden-Sidney College (1883-1904), and membership in the Constitutional Convention of Virginia (1901-2). It includes residences outside of my native State in Edinburgh, Scotland; Columbia, South Carolina; and Baltimore, Maryland. It is written in plain, colloquial style, without reference to rhetorical effect, as my life has been spent in the discharge of plain duty, mostly among plain people, by whom, chiefly, it will be read, when read at all. Some of the recollections are of things told me by friends and relatives, and I have endeavored to state everything with absolute accuracy; others, to a considerable extent, are sustained by written and printed documents in my possession or accessible to me. I trust it may prove useful to some of my fellow-men. If so, it will be the occasion of thanksgiving in my declining years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes, Memories, and Travels of Eighty-Two Years: And Short Sketches of the Lanphear and Potter Families Soon the settlers organized a society for worship, and for a time held meetings from house to house, or in log schoolhouses, until they were able to build a meeting-house. I was brought up to attend church and read the Bible. The preaching was very plain. I remember the first sermon I heard. The preacher had no shoes to his feet, or coat to his back, yet revivals followed his preaching. Let me say right here that my father and another man by the name of David Stillman put their heads together and talked it over that the preacher ought to have some shoes. So after meeting, my father stepped out to the door, picked up a stick, and walking along by the side of the preacher, took up his foot and measured it. The next Sabbath the preacher had some shoes. Possibly one half of the men, and some of the women, came to church barefooted. I remember I went to church barefooted in warm weather until I was sixteen years old.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old World Memories, Vol. 1 of 2 Before the Old World swam into our ken we had been impressed by this thought in Hawthorne's Our Old Home, and since then have remained the more convinced of its truth ful insight. I believe that the Chief delight and advantage of this kind of literature is not for any real information that it supplies to untravelled people, but for reviewing the recollections and reawakening the emotions of persons already acquainted with the scenes described.

Over these scenes my memory wakes, And fondly broods with miser care; Time the impression deeper makes As streams their channels deeper wear. Burns. And thus, as in memory's bark we shall glide To visit the scenes of our boyhood anew, Though oft we may see, looking down on the tide, The wreck of full many a hope shining through: Yet still, as in fancy we point to the flowers, That once made a garden of all the gay shore, Deceiv'd for the moment, we will still think them ours And breathe the fresh air of life's morning once more Anon.
