Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of North Carolina I have the usual to offer for the publication of this little volume. It will sufficiently appear, by both the matter and the style, that it was not originally intended to assume this shape. When my friend Mr. Hope first solicited me to write something for his journal, I consented only on condition that he would accept such papers as I might be able to prepare in the midst of the wearisome and unending duties which devolve upon a country lawyer. He was pleased to say that he preferred such spontaneous productions to more studied and elaborate essays, as being better adapted to the columns of a daily newspaper. Thus encouraged I began the task, selecting, naturally and almost instinctively, North Carolina as my theme. The sketches were written under most unfavorable circumstances; many were penciled off at night after a fatiguing day of labor in the court-house, and others whilst on the circuit, without books of reference, and sent immediately off to the editor. My professional brethren, at least, will appreciate the tread-mill existence from which they sprang. After a few numbers were published, Mr. Hope surprised me very much by copyrighting the series, and informing me of his wish to publish in book form. To this I yielded reluctantly. I was conscious of their defects, of their careless manner of preparation, of their scattered and disconnected order; and yet worse, I did not have leisure to rewrite, correct, or add to them. Still I yielded to Mr. Hopes wish, and although the success of the enterprise is of course entirely problematical, I do not, and shall not regret the attempt.

This book was released on 2016-09-10 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of the History of the University of North Carolina: Together With a Catalogue of Officers and Students, 1789 1889 At the same session the General Assembly granted to the Uni versity all escheats and certain debts due by tax collectors during the Revolutionary war, called arrearages. All sheriffs realize that claims nearly ten years old of the nature of these arrearages were likely to remain in a state of suspension for many years and so indeed they have, even to this day. The grant of escheats under the act of 1789 was of real value, and by the energy and good management of the Trustees, after a long period was the source of the endowment of the University. Many denizens of foreign birth left no heirs, citizens of North Carolina, and under the law as it stood until 1871, their lands escheated to the State; and in like manner obscure soldiers, to whom land warrants were granted for their services in the war, died leaving no heirs to inherit their claims. Of course the revenue from this source naturally diminished as the years rolled away from the Revolution, and it was still further diminished by acts of the Legislature giving the lands to a remoter heir, being a citizen, when the next heir is an alien, and giving the widow all the estate if her husband should die without an heir. At this day the chances of an escheat are worth but little, as an alien stands on the same footing with a citizen in regard to the possession of real estate.

Download or read book North Carolina Poems written by Eugene Clyde Brooks and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from North Carolina Poems: Selected and Edited, With an Introduction, Notes and Biographical Sketches The poems are arranged alphabetically by authors and we have endeavored to give notes sufficient to make the poems clear. But so far as possible, we have purposely avoided giving foot-notes, preferring instead to give all necessary notes immediately under the subject of the poem. We do not claim supremacy for every author. But we do believe that the teacher will find poems of real merit in this volume and many others possessing local significance that will give pleasure to the reader. It is not intended that North Carolina Poems shall be made a regular text-book. But we do believe that every school should possess a few copies, and at the proper time the teacher should put the book in the hands of the pupil of about the sixth or the seventh grades, and teacher and pupil should read the poems together. With such use in view, the inclusion of love poems and dialect verse has been purposely avoided. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agricultural, Geological, and Descriptive Sketches of Lower North Carolina, and the Similar Adjacent Lands Sir: - The proposition of Mr. Edmund Ruffin, the distinguished Agriculturalist and Author, to furnish a. communication upon the agriculture of the eastern counties of this State, will, I hope, be accepted by your Excellency. It will please me especially, if this communication can be published in such a form, that it may be regarded as a report for the Agricultural and Geological Survey now in progress. The field of investigation in North Carolina is extremely wide, in consequence of a diversity of interest, climate and soil. Aid, therefore, from any quarter is important, especially when proffered by a gentleman of Mr. Ruffin's abilities. The principles of agriculture are the same everywhere in all countries, - but their application often require special modifications. It is so in this State. The use of our native fertilizers for example, in the various kinds of marls, call for special rules of application. These are to be found out only by close observation and much experience. An immense saving in money depends upon their proper application, as to time, from composition and the condition of the soil to which they are to be applied. The subject has been, and is still, receiving all the attention I am able to bestow upon it. We have no fear that we shall receive too much light upon the subject. Agriculture is slow in its advances, and hence, every communication which is calculated to give it an impulse, deserves the patronage of the State.
