Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mayor of Troy Good wine needs no bush; but this story has to begin with an apology. Years ago I promised myself to write a treatise on the lost Mayors of Cornwall - dignitaries whose pleasant fame is now night, recalled only by some neat byword or proverb current in the Delectable (or as a public speaker pronounced it the other day, the Dialectable) Duchy. Thus you may hear of "the Mayor of Falmouth, who thanked God when the town gaol was enlarged;" "the Mayor of Market Jew, sitting in his own light;" "the Mayor of Tregoney, who could read print upside-down, but wasn't above being spoken to;" "the Mayor of Calenick, who walked two miles to ride one;" "the Mayor of East Looe, who called the King of England 'Brother.'" Everyone remembers the stately prose in which Gibbon records when and how he determined on his great masterpiece, when and how he completed it. "It was at Rome: on the 15th of October, 1764, as I sat musing amidst the ruins of the Capitol, while the bare-footed friars were singing vespers in the Temple of Jupiter, that the idea of writing the Decline and Fall of the City first started in my mind."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Putting Troy in a Sack: A Candid and Chronological Account of the Events of the Trojan War in the Light of Modern Discovery If ever the King of France rode up or down a hill in view of loyal and admiring subjects, the discriminating onlooker gazed less intently upon the graceful curves of His Majesty's coach than upon the royal form of the King himself. The mere statement of this axiomatic truth should silence at the outset any captious critic who may be disposed to search for flaws in the limping lines of my epic. It is not as a poet I crave favor. There is little likelihood the lines themselves will ever get far on the road to fame, though they proceed in the main with the requisite number of feet. The verses are merely the vehicle selected to bring to notice the profundity of my research and scholarship. You may regard them lightly, good reader, but bear in mind the more important matter that within them reposes my kingly mentality. With this explanation, I indulge the hope that you may retain your proverbial gentleness even when scanning the concluding episode of the wild horse. If you will take the trouble in your study of this history to investigate as collateral reading the works of Messrs. Homer and Virgil, you will observe at once that I have included in my account many details omitted by my predecessors.

Book excerpt: Hans Holbein the Younger, a Northern Renaissance master generally regarded as one of the greatest portraitists of art history, came from a family of prominent artists.

Download or read book Troy in Vintage Postcards written by Brian Nielsen and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Troy is situated on the banks of the Hudson River, just ten miles from the state capital of Albany. Well known as the Collar City, it is the home of Uncle Sam and of the largest annual Flag Day parade. It is less well known as being the home of two National Baseball Hall of Famers, Johnny "the Trojan" Evers and Michael "King" Kelly. In its prime, Troy had more than sixty churches, fifteen breweries, and at least a dozen theaters. Troy in Vintage Postcards reveals through the postcard photographer's eyes what the city was like from the early to the mid-1900s, with a few added surprises from the late 1800s. It shows not only how much of Troy has changed but also how much has remained the same.
