Such an attitude does not, of course, tell the whole story; but it does put one in sympathetic touch with the other half of it. And that, I am sure, is a great help in the search for the truth. Long ago Daniel Webster said that if the two sections only understood each other, there would be no conflict. It is the essence of tragedy that often we can understand only after the clashing of arms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cavalier: An Historical Novel I remember quite well the time when long and minute descriptions of scenery, costume, armor, per sonal appearance - ay, and even character - were highly palatable to the reader. The exquisite pic tures afi'orded by the poems and romances of Sir Walter Scott were the delight of intelligent minds. Men felt in reading them as if they were gazing at the glorious handiwork of a Claude or Poussin; but we have changed all that; we hear from the lips of every little critic deep condemnations of long and wearisome descriptions; and every sort of stimulant, from blood and thunder to philosophical infidelity, is required to excite the public taste. Fifty thousand throats cut in one chapter, five or six thousand young ladies seduced by one villain, with a reasonable ad mixture of gambling, swindling, drinking, and lying, form the best sauce to any story that can be told, and although every now and then a work appears.

Download or read book Washington written by William H. Mace and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Washington: A Virginia Cavalier The purpose Of the author has been not to lay stress upon the so -called' 'true George Washington, or the great planter as he over saw his plantation or read the London markets; not even to lay emphasis on the great soldier as he flamed forth in war, or the first president as he marked the pathway of the new republic. The chief aim has been to point out those qualities which endeared him to his generation, to the end that boys and girls may have stirred in them some of the affection and admiration accorded Washington by those of his own time. This is no easy task. Americans have placed Washington on a pedestal. Some of his biographers have idealized him so that he seems a demi - god. Others, in trying to avoid this mistake and give a true story, have been too realistic and have pictured only that which was commonplace in his life, calling attention to little human weaknesses which at certain times and under some circum stances he gave expression to. But you can no more tell a true life story Of a man by magnifying his faults than by overrating his virtues.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hugh Gwyeth: A Roundhead Cavalier Up in the tops of the tall elms that overshadowed the east wing of Everscombe manor house the ancient rooks were gravely wrangling. A faint morning breeze swept the green branches and, as the leaves stirred, the warm September sunlight smiting through fell in flakes of yellow on the dark flagstones of the terrace below. For a moment Hugh Gwyeth ceased to toss up and catch the ball in his hand, while he stood to count the yellow spots that shifted on the walk. Eight, nine, - but other thoughts so filled his head that there he lost count and once more took up his listless tramp. Off to his left, where beyond the elms the lawn sloped down to the park, he could hear the calls of the boys at play, - his Oldesworth cousins and Aunt Rachel Millington's sons. The Millingtons had come to Everscombe a week before out of Worcestershire, where the king's men were up in arms and had plundered their house.

A bit wayward, forsooth, a little too fond of tarrying at roadside inns, but the slaves worshipped him, and Aunt Emmeline' s eyes had a trick of turning moist whenever she watched him swing to the back of his big bay horse and go galloping away.' 'too good for the company he keeps! She would mur mur; but where could company be found his equal? Maybe at the court of kings! And this doting, foolish maiden aunt, the Colonel's sister, who kept the domestic machinery running smooth ly at the mansion, would dab each pale, patrician lid with a wad of linen and lace and lavender, and turn to her duties with a little sigh.

Up in the tops of the tall elms that overshadowed the east wing of Everscombe manor house the ancient rooks were gravely wrangling. A faint morning breeze swept the green branches and, as the leaves stirred, the warm September sunlight smiting through fell in flakes of yellow on the dark flagstones of the terrace below. For a moment Hugh Gwyeth ceased to toss up and catch the ball in his hand, while he stood to count the yellow spots that shifted on the walk. Eight, nine, -but other thoughts so filled his head that there he lost count and once more took up his listless tramp. Off to his left, where beyond the elms the lawn sloped down to the park, he could hear the calls of the boys at play, -his Oldesworth cousins and Aunt Rachel Millington's sons. The Millingtons had come to Everscombe a week before out of Worcestershire, where the king's men were up in arms and had plundered their house. Yet the young Millingtons were playing at ball with the Oldesworth lads as if it were only a holiday. "Children!" Hugh muttered contemptuously and, conscious of his own newly completed sixteen years, threw an increased dignity into his step. He was a wiry lad, of a slender, youthful figure, but for all that he carried himself well and with little awkwardness. Neither was he ill-looking; though there was a reddish tinge to his close-cut hair it changed to gold when he came into the sunlight, and at all times there was in his blue eyes a steady, frank look that made those who liked him forget the freckles across the bridge of his nose and cheek bones, and the almost aggressive squareness of his chin.
Download or read book The Cavalier in America Classic Reprint written by Lyon Gardiner Tyler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-06 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cavalier in America The twin sponsors of American colonization were two cavaliers during the days of Queen Elizabeth - Sir Humphrey Gilbert and his half brother, Sir Walter Raleigh. They conceived the idea, that to destroy the superiority of Spain, England must plant a colony in the New World. Accordingly the former obtained a patent of colo nization in 1 78, and attempted to establish a settlement in the neighborhood of Newfoundland. The attempt proved futile, and in the effort the noble Gilbert was drowned in the waves of the angry ocean. His last words will ever be kept in precious remembrance: We are as near heaven by sea as by land. The latter - Sir Walter Raleigh - the most accomplished man of his age, and a cavalier in the best sense of theword, renewed the undertaking, and in 1587 established a colony on Roanoke Island, in Pam lico Sound. Success seemed to go with the enter prise, and Queen Elizabeth gave the name Vir ginia to all North America. But a crisis in the history of England arose, and the kingdom, confronted with the Armada and the whole embattled power of Spain, had to fight for her very existence In. The mighty strife, the little group of men, women and chil dren on Roanoke Island were forgotten, and when succo-r, after three years, at length arrived, the colony had disappeared.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cavaliers I was sixteen years of age on the day of the peace of Prague. News travelled slowly in those days, but I had good reason to remember it, as the reader will presently learn, for a certain flogging had an edge to it that bit deep into my memory. I was the eldest of four, and caused more trouble to my loving mother's patient heart than all the others together. I would fain believe that this did not arise from any inherent Viciousness, but rather from restlessness and levity that time has now abated. In justice to my father's memory I must set down that he did his best to correct the faults of my youth, but 'twas in his own way, and a hard one for a high-spirited boy to suffer patiently. His panacea was an oaken cudgel that hung from a leathern thong by the stable door, and the remedy was applied with abundant goodwill.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Laughing Cavalier The air itself felt heavy as if with the weight Of impending doom. The little city lay quiet and at peace; a soft breeze from the south lightly fanned the girl's cheeks. She leaned her elbows on the window-sill and rested her chin in her hands. The moon was not up and yet it was not dark; a mysterious light still lingered on the horizon far away Where earth and sea met in a haze Of purple and indigo. From the little garden down below there rose the subtle fragrance Of early spring Of wet earth and budding trees, and the dim veiled distance was full Of strange sweet sounds, the call of night-birds, the shriek Of sea-gulls astray from their usual haunts.

This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Covenanter, the Cavalier, and the Puritan The publication of this little book in its present form is due. To an accidental circumstance. The matter it contains was prepared as a part of a larger and perhaps more important historical work, on which I am now engaged, and which I hope will soon be in print. Happening to show some of the chapters to a friend, in whose judgmenti had great confidence, he said to me: Why not publish these chapters as a separate book? The matter they contain is only remotely related to that of the main book, and the two should not appear to gether. It happened that my own mind was run ning in the same direction, and had nearly arrived at the same conclusion. The publication of this book, in its present form, is, therefore, mainly due to that interview. It is, as it were, a leaf torn from another book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Time Belles and Cavaliers The stories which form the chapters of this work have been collected with the sincere h0pe that our own and the mother country will find in them much of which to be proud. The Colonies of America, so famed in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries for their brave men, were equally rich in their beautiful women who exhibited so marvellously well the power of the highest feminine influence during the most historic and trying age the country has known. The Revolutionary days, so filled with despair and gloom, the early hours of the first Republic, were productive of some of the noblest spirits ever given to the world, and it was the staunch devotion and truth of her lovely women, the stalwart patriotism of her high-born men, that cast the lone glimmer of radiance over the appalling scenes of war.
