Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Confessions of Claud: A Romance More than thirty years ago, in a part of New-York which was then open field and is now densely-populated city, I, Otho Claud, first saw the light. My home was a square, prim cottage, guiltless of a single ornament. From its rear doorway, across rolling acres clad in the short verdure which is a sure token of barren or neglected soil, you could see the waters of the Hudson, sparkling and spacious. Our house stood in a solitude; hundreds of yards lay between ourselves and the nearest neighbor. To the northward rose masses of that abundant native rock whose bulky and rigid recurrences form so continual a feature of Manhattan Island, and whose stolid challenge against the expanding metropolis has met tardy but certain defiance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Confession of a Child of the Century To write the history of one's life, one must first have lived it and so it is not my own that I write. Having been af icted, while yet young, with an abominable moral malady, I relate what happened to me during three years. If I were the only one sick, I would say nothing about it but as there are many others besides myself, who suffer from the same dis ease, I write for them, while not too sure that they will pay any attention to it 3 for, in case no one should take warning therefrom, I shall still have derived this benefit from my words, that I shall have cured myself more effectually, and, like the fox caught in the trap, I shall have gnawed my captive paw.

Download or read book Confessions of a Tax Collector written by Richard Yancey and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twelve years ago, Richard Yancey answered a blind ad in the newspaper offering a salary higher than what he’d made over the three previous years combined. It turned out that the job was for the Internal Revenue Service -- the most hated and feared organization in the federal government. So Yancey became the man who got in his car, drove to your house, knocked on your door, and made you pay. Never mind that his car was littered with candy wrappers, his palms were sweaty, and he couldn’t remember where he stashed his own tax records. He was there on the authority of the United States government. With "a rich mix of humor, horror, and angst [and] better than most novels on the bestseller lists" (Boston Sunday Globe), Confessions of a Tax Collector contains an astonishing cast of too-strange-for-fiction characters. But the most intriguing character of all is Yancey himself who -- in detailing how the job changed him and how he managed to pull himself back from the brink of moral, ethical, and spiritual bankruptcy -- reveals what really lies beneath those dark suits and mirrored sunglasses. This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.

This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Confessions of an Elderly Lady I have but one consolation for the degeneracy of the age, and that consists in the conviction that few records of it will descend to posterity. People seem to loose all respect for the past; events succeed each other with such velocity that the most remarkable one of a few years gone by, is no more remembered than if centuries had closed over it. The present race seem to think only of the actual minute. They are pro digals, who give no thought to their predecessors, and no care to their successors. People were not thus heartless in my youthful days - but every thing is changed! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Confessions of a Quack Ralston and Clayton are types common enough in these times when honesty is only too often call e'd old fashional and scoffed at; when men wor ship mammon and place the dollar above every thing else in this world. They are quacks, not from choice, but rather from compulsion. Begin ning their professional career with ideals for dirce tion and guidance they soon learned that a too faithful adherence to ethics was keeping them at the bottom of the ladder while there was plenty of room on top. So both of them began mental 'house cleaning. They got rid of the cobwebs of obsolete and long ago beliefs and after this renovation set up business at the old stand in conformity to mod ern ideas as to what the measure of man's success is, judged by the very latest standards. Were they right or wrong? Were they justified in do ing what they did? Were they the victims of a system corrupt to the very core, shattered and tottering and ready to fall in a mighty crash? The reader must answer these questions. To the man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Confession Or the Blind Heart written by William Gilmore Simms and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Confession, or the Blind Heart: A Domestic Story With me the case was very different. If cu ing and kicking could have killed, I should have died many sudden and severe deaths in the rough school to which I was sent. If eyes were likely to be lost in the campus, corded balls of India-rubber, or still harder ones of wood, impelled by shinny (goff) sticks, would have obliterated all of mine though they had been numerous as those of Argus. My limbs and eyes escaped all injury; my frame grew tall and vigorous in consequence of neglect, even as the forest-tree, left to the con ict of all the winds of heaven; while my poor little friend, Edgar, grew daily more and more diminutive, just as some plant, which nursing and tendance within doors deprive of the wholesome sunshine and generous breezes of the sky. The paleness of his cheek increased, the languor of his frame, the meagerness of his form, the inability of his nature! He was pining rapidly away, in spite of that excessive care, which, perhaps. Had been in the first instance, the unhappy source of all his feebleness. He died - and I became an object of greater dislike than ever to his parents. They could not but contrast my strength with his feebleness - my improvement with his decline - and when they remembered how little had been their regard for me. And how much for him - without ascribing the difference of result to the true cause - they repined at the ways of Provi dence, and threw upon me the reproach of it. They gave me less heed and fewer smiles than ever. If I improved at school, it was well, perhaps; but they never inquired, and I could not help fancying that it was with a positive expression of vexation, that my aunt heard, on one occasion, from my teacher, in the presence of some guests, that I was likely to be an honor to the family. An honor to the family, indeed l This was the clear ex pression in that Christian lady's eyes, as I saw them sink im mediately after in a scornful examination of my rugged frame and coarse garments.

Cried Zora, look at that mighty gathering in the street below us they are now lighting the torches, and the procession of the N51 Sahib will presently come forth. I had not observed it, though I had heard the hum of voices; the gloom Of the street had hitherto prevented my distinguishing anything; but as torch after torch was lighted and raised aloft on immense poles, the sea Of human heads revealed itself. There were thousands. The street was SO packed from side to Side, that to move was impossible; the mass was closely wedged together, and we waited impatiently for the time when it should be put in motion, to make the tour of the city.
