This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Colonies and Village Settlements for the Consumptive Symonds, and we together examined the patients, sampled the climate and other conditions, and argued with Unger and Ruedi. Then for the second time came Hope; more solid Hope. Given a fairly early case, and three years, and recovery was in the offing. And so we went on cheerfully with Davos. But Davos was not for every one; nor was every case an early 'one. Then came the discovery that lower altitudes would do if certain conditions were obtained; and so arose the great sanatorium movement. But slowly we found that patients could not spend their lives in sanatoriums; and one day on making my way up to one of them in England, I met on the way patient after patient, slouching along, bored to death with themselves and with each other; and even worse in morale than in body. Better discipline and better notions of thera peutics mended some of that; still I could not forget those listless saunterers, and it became evident to some of us, however unwillingly, that Hope was drooping again. The sanatorium was doing a great educative work no doubt; but at the end of its four or six months - what then? To send the patient away with recommendations about light jobs, and a regime, was almost a mockery or quite. What about the wage, and the family to be supported? The next lesson was brought home to me by a visit with other commissioners to certain cities, concerning some such problems. Before me now I see a gaunt hollow-eyed man, coughing, and leaning against the wall as he tried to talk to us, saying that his mates when he came out of the sanatorium - good fellows as they were - had bought him a milk that he might creep round, and earn a bit. The brave wife, shawl on head and mill apron on, had just come from the factory, and apologised for the dirty house - as well she might. The poor thing was working all day at the factory to keep the wolf from the door. All being dragged down together into the pit! What is the value of a good house, or a clean house, if no wages! What is there for the children? And what is to stop the infection! Who then would have the imagination, the initiative, the business capacity, to lift this burden, like lifting a world?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Eyes at the Window The Honorable William Simpson, attorney-at-law and member of the Legislature, the latter honor recently acquired by hard work, considerable money and the ability to keep a stiff upper lip - here was I, possessed of wealth and position and the most miserable man on earth - for was I not a bachelor and in love, maybe hopelessly? I must not tell everything, however, at the beginning, for upon the fact that I was in love alone hinges the tale. Lawyers are usually unpunctual, and it was quite opportune that on this particular morning I should be at my office early and in proximity to the 'phone when it rang, otherwise I might not have this story to tell in just this way.

Download or read book Old England written by Bernard Gilbert and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old England: A God's-Eye View of a Village MY dear Omen - When I first discussed with you my idea of presenting an English village as a whole, I little guessed that it would lead me on to such an immense task. Balzac made an heroic attempt to depict the nation of his day. Despite his giant industry he needed ten lives to achieve his intention, and in these so much more. Complex days the attempt would be hopeless. It is possible, however, to portray the unit with which I have dealt and to show therein the factors and problems of the land which are basic in rural England. To do this I had to freeze my unit and exhibit it motionless. TO show it in action would take as many novels as there are characters. The village is our largest social unit, being a society in which every person knows everything about every one, and in which the whole of the members are in personal relation. Our next unit is the small market town of some 4000 inhabitants, in the least of which are a number of distinct circles; but the village, running up to 1000 souls, is a self-contained cosmos, a large family, and has no beyond. Its soul is coherent and complete. I have taken such a village at one moment during the war and endeavoured to give a camera-obscura presentment of the multitudinous intrigues, ambitions, desires, disputes, interests, and all the social, political, financial, sexual and religious factors which thread the fabric so closely.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Village of Youth: And Other Fairy Tales The King was betrothed to a fair Princess named Rowena. She loved her future husband dearly, though his strange malady and the exodus of the old people from his dominions had clouded her happiness, and made her long for some way of alleviating his suffering. When the lovers were together they held no gentle, tender discourse. Uriel would only gaze at his betrothed with mournful eyes, and when she besought him not to be sorrowful he would say, Sweet lady, how can I be other than I am? Each loving word that falls from thy lips, each sweet smile that plays upon thy face, is as a dagger in my heart; for I remember how soon the bloom of youth will pass from thy cheeks and the softness from thy lips. Our Village, too, will become the Village of Eld. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Through Needle s Eye Classic Reprint written by Hesba Stretton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through Needle's Eye Erford was one of the little seaboard par H ishes which encircle England; each one con taining its small, gray, storm-beaten church, perched on a crag overgrown with ivy and moss, or built low down on the shore, with the moan of the sea sounding incessantly round the graves of the dead. The village of Herford consisted of a straggling street of fishermen's houses, stretching in a single line from the shore inland, with scattered cottages and humble farmsteads dotted about the slopes on each side of the deep valley running down to the sea. There was no pier, and there were no lodging-houses. The nearest post town was five miles of? By the nearest road - a rough and wind-swept path over the clifl's and seven full miles if you traversed the whole length of the valley in order to reach the highway. In every season of the year hedgerow flowers were to be found in bloom in Herford, for the valley lay open to the south, and the soft mist-laden south wind alone could breathe freely along it. There was nei ther biting cold in winter, nor scorching heat in sum mer and the noisy, narrow rivulet, which sang and played all down its winding curves, was never parch ed up by drought, and but seldom overflowed its deep banks. The bay where it emptied itself had a small ridge of pebbly beach, beyond which lay a tract of firm, bright sand, stretching in a narrow belt for miles under the cliffs when the tide was out. Al most every man in the village owned some small boat of his own, for the railway was as far off as Low borough, and the inhabitants of Herford preferred launching their rude, safe fishing craft, and running round with the tide, to traveling along the dusty, hot highway, whenever they had any of the produce of their fields or their nets to dispose of.
