Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Autobiography of a Journalist, Vol. 1 of 2 In affixing to the book the portraits of myself, I have yielded my own Opinion, which was Opposed to it, to that of the publishers and my friends, who urged it. TO me it seemed a vanity for one almost unknown to assume that a public would care what manner of man he might be, and that such an as sumption should follow an expressed general desire; but the views of the publishers are imperative, and those Of my friends weightier than my own.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Autobiography of a Journalist, Vol. 2 of 2 Crete, because the quarantine on the return was not merely rigorous but merciless, and exaggerated to an incredible severity. No boat or steamer was ad mitted to enter the port coming from any Turkish or Egyptian port, though with a perfectly clean bill of health, and all ships must make their quarantine at the uninhabited island of Delos. Such was the panic that no one would venture to carry provisions to that island while there was a Ship in quarantine, and during the fortnight I waited at Syra an English steamer without passengers, and with a clean bill of health, having finished her term, was condemned to make another term of two weeks, because a steamer had come in with refugees from Alexandria, and had anchored in the same roadstead. Mr. Lloyd, the English consul, protested and insisted on the steamer being released, and the people threatened to burn his house over his head if he persisted; but, as he did persist, the ship was finally permitted to commu nicate with Syra, but not to enter the harbor, and was obliged to leave without discharging or taking cargo, after being a month in quarantine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Autobiography of a Journalist, Vol. 1 of 2 That a man should assume that his life is worth the venture of a record in the form of an autobiography suggests a degree of self-conceit of which I am not guilty. From my own initiative this would never have been written, and the first suggestion that I should write it, coming from a man of such experience in books and judgement of men as the late Mr. Houghton, then head of the firm of Houghton, Mifflin & Co., was as much a surprise to me as the publication will be to any one. The impression it made on me was so vivid that I have never forgotten the details of the occasion which called it out. I had gone with Mr. Houghton and his daughters to the ruins of the Villa of Hadrian, at Tivoli, and, wandering idly amongst them on a beautiful autumn morning, not in the spirit of crude sightseeing, I was led to talk of my experiences more than is my wont to do.

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Henry Villard, Journalist and Financier, 1835-1900, Vol. 1 of 2: In Two Volumes The circumstances of the composition of this Autobiography of the late Henry Villard are set forth in his own words on page 373 of Volume II. The events of his youth in his native land before coming to the United States he chose to describe in his mother tongue. This portion of his memoirs his family edited and published for private distribution two years after his death, under the title, "Heinrich Hilgard-Villard: Jugend-Erinnerungen, 1835- 1853" (New York, 1902). A brief abstract of this charming and the interesting narrative constitutes the Introduction of the present volumes. Seven of the eight books written in English are in the first person. Unable, by reason of his rapidly failing health, to finish the memoirs upon the scale of the ante-bellum period, Mr. Villard devoted his last summer to a compendium of the period from 1863 to 1900 written in the third person (Book Vxii). He originally intended to make a record for his family, with possible publicity that others might profit by the lessons of his life. As he proceeded and arrived at his experiences in the Civil War, he began, as he explains, to feel the ardor of the historian, and, using the Official Records of both sides in the greatest of American conflicts, he described the various campaigns in which he took part, or was especially interested, with great elaboration and obviously for the public eye. The importance of his observations in the field and of his laborious researches determined the inclusion of these studies, notwithstanding their bulk, in the present publication. A detailed exhibition of his relations to the development of the far Northwestern States may some day also find its way into print.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life, Journalism and Politics, Vol. 2 There was no peace for editors, whatever line they took. Every day's letter-bag at the Westminster brought insulting letters, mostly anonymous; leading articles were cut out and sent back to me scored all over with abusive epithets. One little picture is sharply printed on my memory - that Of a great lady who in happier times had invited me to her house, standing on top Of the stairs which lead from the Ladies' Gallery of the House Of Commons to the Lobby, and hurling extremely painful epithets at me as I went down. 11 another occasion I answered the telephone on my table at the Office to find an eminent and very angry British musician at the other end speaking from his house at Hampstead. Are you the editor Of the Westminster Gazette I am, I modestly replied, expecting a communication about a forth coming symphony, but it was far Otherwise. Someone, he said in a voice quivering with rage, has left a copy Of your paper at my house. Please send at once and fetch it away. I suggested that if its presence was disagreeable to him, he had an easy remedy, but the voice persisted in a crescendo Of anger, Send at once, I tell you, send at once and fetch it away.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Recollections of a Journalist: 1832-1859 More than sixty years have passed since the writer of the accompanying "Early Recollections" first made his acquaintance with newspaper life. This is a long vista to look back upon and yet the impressions of youth remain vividly on his memory as if they had been of yesterday. Not many of his contemporaries are now in the land of the livings and few there be who can personally know of the enormous changes that have taken place in the newspaper press of Scotland within the last six decades. In the following chapters the writer has endeavoured to give his recollections of the press as it flourished in the earlier years of the century and of the more prominent incidents that came under his observation as a journalist in times so far removed from the present. It will be noticed that he closes his "Recollections" just at the period when the Scottish press entered on its modern career with a vigour and ability that have placed it in the very vanguard of journalistic enterprise. With that advent ceased his connection with the metropolitan press. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Diary of a Journalist: Later Entries Last night Mr. Gladstone had a little dinner party in St. James's Square. Just now in excellent health and spirits, he delighted his guests with his marvellous lore of recollection, which loses nothing by his dramatic style of narrative. Much pleased by the news received yesterday by cable from the United States announcing the success of an interesting little episode. A week or two ago he received a pressing invitation from an important industrial community in the States styled the Mutual Building Association. It was their annual meeting last Friday, and they besought Gladstone to send them a little message. Colonel Gouraud undertook to manage it through the phonograph, into which Gladstone spoke the following admirable little essay: "The purpose of the meeting on the 14th may, I conceive, be summed up in two words, self-help and thrift, and I cannot, although much occupied, refuse to send to it a few words of congratulation and good-will. It is self-help that makes the man, and man-making is the aim which the Almighty has everywhere impressed upon creation. It is thrift by which the self-help for the masses dependent on labour is principally made effective. For them thrift is the symbol and instrument of independence and of liberty, indispensable conditions of all permanent human good. But thrift is also the mother of wealth; and here comes a danger into view. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
