Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes From Italy's War Since I wrote this Preface and the first third Of the book, the winter's leisure has been interrupted by the brief campaign in which the Italians captured men and guns, liberated Trieste and Trento, and forced Austria to surrender. That part Of the book stands as first written, with the alteration or addition of a very few sentences referring to the end Of the war. We have thus, for more than three years, been living in constant daily contact with Italians of all ranks, some times joining their messes, always receiving their orders, discussing points of service with them, loading our ambulances daily with their sick and wounded. Our Unit also had for two years a field hospital for Italian soldiers. These opportunities for intercourse and oh servation have been rendered greater by the confidence with which we have always been treated by the Italian chiefs with whom we came in contact, by the spirit Of hospitality and comradeship in which we have been received by thousands of Italian Officers in the scores Of different divisions that we have served, and by the popularity of our service among the peasant soldiers in the ranks.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Army Sketch Book: An Artist's Story of the War We descended the hill to the river, and crossing on the pontoons, were soon on our way towards the front. We passed through the wagon-camps on a at near the river, and ascending a gentle slope were soon in the dense woods beyond. Darkness had now fallen, and the din of the con ict increased, though we concluded that the enemy's advance had been checked, as the reports of firing came no nearer. Sounds rose and fell as the opposing forces changed position, coming clearly and distinctly from a wooded ridge but with muf ed tone from the valleys. Suddenly there came a burst of artillery, and a tremendous roar continued for one hour. Then word was received that the enemy's advance had been checked. Suddenly we met straggling parties of demoralized troops hurrying towards the rear, and found on inquiry that the Eleventh Corps, holding the right ank Of our army, had been surprised and put to rout by Stonewall Jackson, who had been making one of his famous forced marches for the purpose. These men were panic-stricken, rushing about at random with no directness of movement, their only thought being to get away from the bullets. Guards were thrown out on both sides of the road to put an end to the disgraceful confusion, and when the way was cleared we pushed forward toward the firing. I shall never forget the scene at this point, at nine O'clock. Fires were blazing on every side, which, with the pine trees that had been ignited, so lit up the road that objects were as discernible as in the day; and surging through it all was a mass of earnest, determined men who were intent only on reaching the line of battle where they could be of service to their struggling comrades. Marching hurriedly forward, they soon came to a road leading from Ely's Ford to Chancellorsville, and deploying to right and left the lines were very shortly in such a position that the damage done by Jackson's masterly surprise was almost made good, although a last desperate attempt was made at eleven o'clock to take pos session of a plateau surrounding the Chancellorsville House.

For the purposes of history delay is necessary, even though the gain in per spective may mean loss in colour.

Download or read book Life in the War Zone written by Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PARIS, August 8, 1916. rance to-day is sharply divided into two sections; within the greater you can come and go almost as freely as before the war. All that is necessary is a sauf conduit easily obtained from your commissaire de police, which you are never called upon to exhibit. But the other, the Zone des Armées, in common parlance the war or military zone! There is only one thing in France more difficult of contact, and that is a member of the middle or lower bourgeoisie. For nearly three months now I have felt like an inverted snob trying to ingratiate myself with, or even to meet members, of that curious caste which exists only in France; a caste reserved, proud, suspicious, intensive, detesting foreigners only less than it does the aristocracy, and averse from variety of any sort. If you bring even one letter to society, either in France or any European capital, all doors are open to you, for society is accustomed to strangers and variety, and is often bored with itself; which the bourgeoisie, of France at least, never seems to be. So, if in the course of these and other letters, I allude, however casually, to princesses and duchesses, spare me the ready democratic sneer; but if, with affected indifference, I mention now and again a name without territorial significance, then, if you like, exchange derisive glances and exclaim: "Aha! So she has 'got there' and would have us believe she takes it as a matter of course." However-to return to the war zone.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes From The War In la VendeeIn I791, she married Monsieur Lescure, to whom she had become engaged When quite a child. The portrait which she has drawn for us of her husband, depicts him as a F rench gentleman of the most perfect type, well educated, modest, brave, loyal and religious. The wife seems to have been of a Spirit similar to her husband the graphie account of the Vendean war, with its tale of heroism, privations and woe, unparalleled save perhaps in the history of our own Indian Mutiny, could only have been written by one who, having been an eye-witness, possessed the qualities requisite for such an undertaking. It is from her Memoires that the French historian Mignet seems to have derived in full the brief account of the war in La Vendee which appears in his great work on the Revolution. This may here be quoted, as the best general introduction to these extracts from Madame de la Rochejaquelein's Memoires.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Of similar value are the com ments of the blacks on the whites and those of the whites on the blacks, though sometimes uncharitable and unjust.
