Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural History of Chautauqua The material in this little book is the outgrowth of ten years natural history study and teaching in the Chautauqua region. The material is assembled in this form with the hope that it may be useful to the increasing number of nature-students who are actively interested in the rich and beautiful natural background of Chautauqua. The subject-matter is not designed to take the place of that found in the standard reference books; it is suggestive rather than scientifically exhaustive. In the various lists, for example, only the common and fairly common forms are usually included; rare and adventitious species, although often of extreme scientific interest, are not of particular significance to the beginner in natural history. It is significant that natural history has always been an integral part of the Chautauqua ideal. Wherever people may live, - amidst or far remote from the centers of culture, - Nature is omnipresent as the universal background of their lives. Natural history is the most cosmopolitan of the cultural elements; it is not nationalized, like literature, nor racial, like the languages, nor sectarianized, as is theology, nor provincialized, as is history. The natural history of any locality, no matter how apparently mediocre and humble, is a clean-cut epitome of the outstanding laws of the universe. This book is based upon the fundamental proposition of the nature-study idea, namely, that happiness may be derived from an intimate and sympathetic knowledge of the common things of our out-of-doors.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Chautauqua County, New York, From Its First Settlement to the Present Time: With Numerous Biographical and Family Sketches After the lapse of a period much longer than was anticipated, the writer offers to the public the result of his protracted labors. Although he has no assurance that the work will fully meet the expectations of all for whom it. Has been written, he indulges the hope that it will receive a good measure of the popular favor. But how much soever it may fall short of universal commendation, he has the satisfaction to believe, that its supposed defects will not be ascribed to any lack of effort, on his part, to fulfill the pledge of his best endeavors to produce a history which should meet the expectations of the people, and reflect honor upon the county. This has certainly been his paramount object, irre spective of the time deemed necessary for its accomplishment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds of Chautauqua County: An Address Delivered Before the Chautauqua Society of History and Natural Science at Its Semi-Annual Meeting Held in Jamestown, January 29, 1885 In a paper of this character it is of course impossible to give any extended description of our various species of birds, or their habits, songs, plumage, migration. Nests and eggs, or to more than touch upon the numerous other interesting branches of the subject. I shall endeavor to do little else than present a list of such birds as have actually come under my observation in the course of considerable rambling about the fields and forests of the central part of the county, during several years past. This will comprise just 150 species, which I think embraces all that are in any degree common in the locality mentioned. There are a number of other species whose occasional presence is probable and whose names could doubtless be safely added, but having as yet never actually met with them, I prefer to wait till I can speak of them authoritatively. This is offered only in the absence of more complete data. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History the United States: Written for the Chautauqua Reading Circles Of the Revolution, of its causes, its methods, and its results, we certainly know much more than Judge Marshall knew, or even George Washington, or any of the men of their times. The governments in possession of European archives are no longer coy about opening to students the papers in their pos session. We know, for instance, that George the Third was his own enemy, and the enemy of Great Britain. We know something of the divided councils of England, and of the causes which led to division; of the policies of France and Spain and the other countries of Europe. We are able to make a study much more complete than was in the power of Mr. Botta, Mr. Grahame, Judge Marshall, or any other of the earlier historians.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Paper About Chautauqua and Its Teachings Knowing that there is an increasing desire to understand the Chautauqua idea and aim which has taken captive the hearts of many thousand pilgrims who for ten consecutive summers have journeyed to this Mecca, I will attempt in these few pages to give some prominent features of this unique assembly. It is an educational movement, combining sacred and secular knowledge, taking the teachings and doctrines of the Holy Bible as the chief corner stone. In other words, Chautauqua seeks to establish the relation of Christianity and of culture as they appear in our individual as well as in the national life. All persons are concerned in that which shapes the life, the destiny and the greatness of the nation, of which we all form a part. This great movement, which has caused from every part of the wide world the inquiry, "What is this Chautauqua?"

Download or read book Chautauqua Library of English History and Literature Vol 3 written by UNKNOWN. AUTHOR and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chautauqua Library of English History and Literature, Vol. 3: The Wars of the Roses For the period of English history treated in this volume we are fortunate in possessing an unrivaled interpreter in our great dramatic poet, Shakespeare. A regular sequence of historical plays exhibit to us not only the general character of each successive reign, but nearly the whole chain of leading events, from the days of Richard II. to the death of Richard III. at Bosworth. Following the guidance of such a master mind, we realize for ourselves the men and actions of the period in a way we cannot do in any other epoch. And this is the more important, as the age itself, especially toward the close, is one of the most obscure in English history. During the period of the Wars of the Roses, we have, comparatively speaking, very few contemporary narratives of what took place, and any thing like a general history of the times was not written till a much later date. But the doings of that stormy age - the sad calamities endured by kings - the sudden changes of fortune in great men - the glitter of chivalry and the horrors of civil war - all left a deep impression upon the mind of the nation, which was kept alive by vivid traditions of the past at the time that our great dramatist wrote. Hence, notwithstanding the scantiness of records and the meagerness of ancient chronicles, we have singularly little difficulty in understanding the spirit and character of the times. - Gairdner.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from About Chautauqua: As an Idea, as a Power, and as a Place Among the signs of the times the most important tendency which exists is that which is reaching toward a more liberal and universal education for the masses. With the various move ments organized, it must be apparent to all thoughtful observers that not one has attained to such importance as that known and embraced in the Chautauqua Idea, for it is a practical scheme, reaching all classes and conditions alike, who will ao cept of its benefits. In the pages of this Second Edition, enlarged, of this book, which is, as the title indicates, written to tell something about the mighty movement which in its twelve years of existence has wielded such a delightful influence, the attempt has not been made to give the entire history of the several depart nicuts, but briefly to allude to them in the order of their development from the primitive idea. Having been an ardent believer in the mission of Chautauqua from its first days, and. By constant attendance upon the summer assemblies through their entire sessions, the author has had unusual opportunities to know whereof she writes. The divisions of topics are, respectively, Chautauqua as an idea, as a power, and as a place, besides some miscellaneous subjects. To those persons who generously gave permission to select from their own writings material that was needed in addition to her own knowledge, the writer expresses in this public manner earnest thanks! And, now, my book, go forth on your mission to all unknown readers, that they may not be as the heath in the desert, and see not when good cometh E. R.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Philosophy of the Sun: A Paper Read Before the Chautauqua Society of History and Natural Science The identity of constitution of the celestial spheres is daily becoming more firmly established as a fundamental principle in philosophy. Dr. M. Meyer recently said before a body of distinguished scientists in Berlin: The sun is composed of the same materials as the earth. The distant fixed stars are of a composition identical with that of the sun. The uni formity of nature's laws and the similarity of the materials composing the universe are a sufficient proof that there must be organizations similar to that of our system all over the universe. He also said: We must conclude that the earth is inhabited by a small family which forms part of the great nation that peoples the universe. M. Faye says Nothing really distinguishes our sun from the multitude of stars which shine in the heavens. Helmholtz says What the earth does is done by all the other spheres and in a higher degree by the sun. There are no known facts which disprove such identity of constitution of all worlds.
