Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays and Sketches of Character A short time convinced him of the error of his calculation, but did not alter his mode of life: he continued to employ a portion of his time in great bodily exercise, and devoted the remainder to an extensive though desultory reading. In his youth he had been rather a timid boy, and was supposed by his brothers somewhat deficient in constitutional courage; but as he advanced towards manhood, a moral courage had supplied this original defect; and during his residence on the coast he often voluntarily braved the dangers of the Sea in the most fearless manner: frequently he went out in boisterous weather on board one of the fishing boats, exposed of course to all the privations of his hardy companions, and often passed the night in alternately aiding them in their pursuits, and in contemplating the beautiful or awful scenes by which he was surrounded. Heat length purchased a boat sufficiently small to be managed by himself alone, and in this he passed the greatest part of his.

Download or read book Historical and Other Sketches Classic Reprint written by James Anthony Froude and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical and Other Sketches This collection of the more popular writings of Mr. Fronde is made in order to enable a large number of readers to obtain at small cost a good view of the merits and value of his works. His best known essays are, fur the most part, left out of this volume - for example, those on Calvinism, Progress, Education, and Ireland. The editor has also passed by in the selections those writings of Mr. Fronde which have been the subject of heated controversy. It is hoped that the sketches of travel, essays, and extracts from the gifted author's historical works here collected, will be found both entertaining and instructive. Believing that the reader will like to have some account of Mr. Fronde and his opinions, the editor has prepared the following sketch. His Education. James Anthony Fronde was born near Totness, Devon, England, April 23, 1818. His father was an old-fashioned High Church clergyman, and his brother, Richard Hurrell Fronde (fifteen years older than the historian) had already won distinction as a new-fashioned High Church clergyman when James Anthony entered Oriel College, Oxford, at the age of eighteen. The younger Froude was naturally thrown by his family connections and sympathies into the strong arms of the new reformers at Oxford.

Download or read book Sketches in History and Poetry Classic Reprint written by John Campbell Shairp and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches in History and Poetry Of the ten papers, which have been named Sketches, contained in this volume, some were given to the public in periodicals by the author himself. Others are now printed for the first time. The date of the earliest is 1860; of the latest 1884, the year before the authors death. Four of them were given as Lectures in the chair of Poetry, Oxford, viz., VI., VII., IX., X. All the subjects, save one, are taken from Scottish History or Poetry, fields in which the writer showed a lifelong and special interest. One or two of the papers may be singled out as but slight in treatment of the subject; yet all of them contain passages which are highly characteristic of the author, and some are worthy of him at his best - as, for example, "The Songs of Scotland before Burns." They thus seem to me to be well deserving of collection and publication in one volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical Sketches His watchword is liberty, or independence, or, one may almost say, selfishness. The principle which at starting has fascinated him is that of equilibrium, of mental and moral stagnation, of absolute indifference to all but self, of a pleasure which consists in the simple unhindered drawing of the breath, a torpidity like that of a surfeited boa-constrictor. Why was man made perfectible, when beast was not? Rousseau asks in effect. Why did Nature give him the fatal power to mould himself irrespective of her intentions, when she denied it to the world of animals? When man had no needs, he was content; when he had no virtues.
