Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Manuscript, Vol. 1 This folio of four pages, happy work! What is it but a map of busy life, Its fluctuations, and its vast concerns? - Cowper. In trying to interest the community, enlightened by the wisdom of so many minds, and amused by such innumerable sources of enjoyment, it is difficult to avoid the extremes of overdoing the matter, through anxiety, on the one hand; or degenerating into common-place, from the fear of being thought too conceited, on the other. Attributing the conduct of every writer to avarice and vanity, rather than a desire of promoting the public good, the repulsive crowd quickly lower the pretensions of every literary hero, which not only chastises him for being wiser than themselves, but tends to raise them higher in the opposite scale of discernment and learning.

Download or read book The Lost Manuscript Vol 1 of 2 written by Gustav Freytag and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lost Manuscript is a novel by German novelist and playwright Gustav Freytag. This novel, while less well known than his book Debit and Credit, provides the reader with an excellent opportunity to read the work of one of Germany's most acclaimed authors of the nineteenth century. The action of The Lost Manuscript is split between two seemingly opposing but ultimately complimentary locales: a rural farm located in Germany's vast countryside, and a bustling university located in the city of Leipzig. The story is the tale of a young German professor that becomes so deeply engaged in his studies and the search for a manuscript by Tacitus that he fails to become aware of an imminent personal tragedy. Freytag's story is ultimately about the transmigration of souls, and the connective tissues that so deeply connect all humans to each other and the world around us. While Freytag does not enjoy the popularity of some of his contemporaries, his work is every bit as affecting and influential as the work of many of the more well known authors of the nineteenth century. The Lost Manuscript is a beautiful and touching novel, and while less acclaimed than Debit and Credit, is an excellent example of Freytag's command of storytelling. This is a novel of the highest order, and one that deserves to be read and studied by modern students. The Lost Manuscript is an excellent piece of fiction that excels both on its own merits and as an introduction into the work of this great German author. This book will appeal to all fans of general fiction, and in particular those who are fond of nineteenth century literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Montgomery Manuscripts (1603-1706), Vol. 1: Compiled From Family Papers When preparations were to be made for the new edition, no trace of the original Manuscript: from which the volume of 1830 had been printed could be found, and the present editor was reluctantly compelled to adopt the modernized orthography of that volume, without having thus the best means of correcting misprints, or of supplying many words and even whole sen tences that have been omitted in the first edition without explanation. The reader will observe that in the new edition the contents of the Manuscript: have been rearranged, being now placed according to the order in which they were written, and so as to preserve, as much as possible, the continuityof the author's narrative. To the memoirs contained in the first edition, three others of much interest and value have been here added, two of which arenow printed for the first time, the third being a reprint from the ninth volume of the Ulster-journal of Arrfiwology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the Documents in the Manuscript Room, Vol. 1: At the Public Archives of Canada The Public Archives of Canada, though primarily intended for the preservation of official records, serves the secondary, but not unimportant purpose of furnishing materials for historical study. History, it need hardly be said, is no longer regarded merely as a field for the exercise of literary skill; it has to a large extent lost its epic character and assumed the severe guise of science. Original documents or faithful transcripts of them mutt be consulted, and it is manifestly important that these should be made accessible, under as favourable conditions as possible to all serious students. There is in Canada to-day a growing historical school; and it is a satisfaction to know that much benefit has already been derived, by our younger writers particularly, from the resources which the Public Archives have placed at their disposal. The work, of which the first volume is now published, is intended to promote a wider and fuller knowledge of the range and variety of the papers which the Archives contain, and of the manner of their classification and arrangement. The task of preparing A Guide to the Documents in the Manuscript Room at the Public Archives of Canada has been entrusted to Mr. David Parker, M. A., who was first brought into touch with our collections through compiling for the Carnegie Institute of Washington a volume entitled a Guide to the Materials for United States History in Canadian Archives. Mr. Parker has since been placed in charge of the Manuscript Division of this Department. It is hoped that his work will prove of material assistance to students in the field of Canadian and, to extent, of general history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Shakespeare, Vol. 1 In addition to the early printed authorities for the formation of a text, there are two manuscript claimants, whose merits and pretensions demand some notice.

Download or read book Samuel Adams written by Mark Puls and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A brief, sharply focused biography [that] restores Adams to his rightful place as an indispensable provocateur of American liberty” (Kirkus Reviews). Samuel Adams is perhaps the most unheralded and overshadowed of the founding fathers, yet without him there would have been no American Revolution. A genius at devising civil protests and political maneuvers that became a trademark of American politics, Adams astutely forced Britain into coercive military measures that ultimately led to the irreversible split in the empire. Through his remarkable political career, Adams addressed all the major issues concerning America’s decision to become a nation—from the notion of taxation without representation to the Declaration of Independence. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams all acknowledged that they built our nation on Samuel Adams’ foundations. Now, in this riveting biography, his story is finally told and his crucial place in American history is fully recognized. Winner of the 2007 Fraunces Tavern Museum Book Award

Among these remains were two volumes of a Journal which had been kept by Sir Walter from 1825 to 1832. Mr. Lockhart made large use of this Journal in his ad mirable' life of his father-in-law.
