Book excerpt: Excerpt from Army Society: Life in a Garrison Town; A Discursive Story Not unreasonably, people thought and said it would have been a splendid match for the daughter of a country attorney, whose practice was not of the best as far as the social position of his clients went, and who was known to do a good deal in the money-lending line, and on the Sixty per cent. Principle. But alack, alas, for the tide which must be taken at the flood Polly, and moreover Polly's papa and mamma, wished for a higher, stronger, fuller tide than served just then in the person of the Honourable Eliot Cardella, - they wished for what was, in fact, quite a matrimonial spring tide; and in waiting for it Polly missed both.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Garrison Tales From Tonquin With China and Japan the world has at length grown familiar; in as far as the Occident can comprehend the Orient, the daily life of the Mongolian race has been made known to us. There are, however, some branches of this race of which little is said. Since 1884 the French have had possession of the northern province of Annam, and it is this part of the extreme Orient that the following short tales may serve to illustrate. Even in this province of Tonkin, - or Tonquin, as we write it in English, - the Annamites are divided into several distinct peoples; but how each may differ from the other would be a problem for the ethnographer. French rule was not gratefully accepted in Tonquin. These poor "savages" did not at once comprehend or appreciate the honor of being subject to France; so they made desperate efforts to resist French invasion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Midst of Life: Tales of Soldiers and Civilians As he was going by, he looked in at the blank window space, and saw a strange and terrifying sight - the figure of a man seated in the centre of the room, at a table upon which lay some loose sheets of paper. The elbows rested on the table, the hands supporting the head, which was uncovered. On each side the fingers were pushed into the hair. The face showed pale in the light of a single candle a little to one side. The ame illuminated that side of the face, the other was in deep shadow. The man's eyes were fixed upon the blank window space with a stare in which an older and cooler observer might have discerned something of apprehension, but which seemed to the lad altogether soulless. He believed the man to be dead. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Insurgents had stipulated that life and property should be spared, provided the arms, ammunition, and accoutrements of the garrison, were left behind. But the garrison abandoned the town - so precipitately as, in many instances, to abandon, at the same time, their wives and children - before even the return, from the be siegers, of their own envoys; and consequently they did not comply with terms which they would not tarry to learn.

Mulvaney, Ortheris and Leroyd are Privates in B Company of a Line Regiment, and personal friends of mine.

He is a Duke, or an Earl, or something unofficial; also a Peer; also a Globe-trotter. On all three counts, as Ortheris says, "'e didn't deserve no consideration."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Drummond Island: The Story of the British Occupation, 1815-1828 Tory is a sealed book. Where once was the life and bustle of a military post, garrisoned by warlike Britons, now are only the remains and sad ones - of the populous and well built garrison town. There are broad and well graded avenues lined with Lombardy poplars, roads upon which was handled the heavy artil lery, great chimnevs of stone with their ample fireplaces. Marking where stood upwards of fifty buildings, kitchen garden plats grown up to luxuriant grass, wild flowers and under brush intermingled with rose bushes which still bear their sweet blossoms, while apple, cherry, plum and pear trees are not infrequent, and still yield their fruit. And at no great dis tance lies the city of the sleeping dead, who since their comrades were driven thence. Have been undisturbed by the sunrise gun, and over whom the winds alone have chanted requiems. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A large town even now, it promises soon to become a city. At the time the events happened which we undertake to recount, this town, already of con siderable importance, was also a place of defense, and for that reason had the honor of lodging a commander, and the advantage of possessing a fixed garrison of Spanish soldiers, who taught modesty to the damsels and matrons of the coun try; bestowed from time to time marks of their favor on the shoulder of a husband or a father; and never failed, in autumn, to disperse themselves in the vineyards, to thin the grapes, and lighten for the peasant the labors of the vintage.
