Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Country Boy, the Story of His Own Early Life This book deals with just an ordinary boy, brought up, however, among people and conditions that were not ordinary. This little town of Silverton and the neighborhood around it were made up of men and women who had left the best sections of the Eastern States to go West that they might avoid the Railroads and conditions that followed them.

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 Pottleton Legacy: A Story of Town and Country Life About fifty miles from town, taking a somewhat westerly direction, there is a little village, which has generally been considered so very unimportant a place, that it has not found its way into any gazetteer; nor, indeed, can the most microscopic eye discover its name in the county map. It has even been accounted too out-of-the-way a spot to be published as the abode of any patient marvellously cured by a patent medicine. In fact, until very lately, nobody was known who had ever been there, except the candidates for the shire, on their canvassing expeditions preceding a contested election; the carrier, who met the mail on the high road, at the finger-post, some three miles away, and was also the postman; or the literary missionary, who left works in numbers at the farm-houses, whereof the gentle excitement was well sustained, by sewing up the most startling illustrations with the heavier reading, opposite remote parts of the story; which was an admirable notion, and very promotive of continued curiosity. This little village, then, which was called Pottleton - or Pot'ton, by popular rustic elision - was situated in a valley, along the centre of which ran a small stream, whose only mission was to turn a couple of mills, and then babble pleasantly through some rich meadows, spangled with water-lilies, and edged with round-headed pollards, until it tumbled over the lock of a canal near the high road. The valley ran from east to west, and so the village had the sun all day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Country Towns, and the Place They Fill in Modern Civilization Nor are cities without an interest in the social condition of those small towns, from which, as from little centres, improvement radiates into the districts around; for it was-admitted in the Report of the Census of 1851 that a large proportion of city inhabitants are born in the country. Can we doubt that what the country makes them at first will have its effect on that which the city makes them at last? If the material be sound, it may be an open question whether the city will fashion it into greater completeness for good or evil; but if the material be rotten, what own the fabric be?

But he soon forgot himself, and slept, (as all healthy boys sleep, ) soundly and well, until the day dawned. It was a bright winter morning, and Ned and Joe were already dressed. They did not wait for Bible or prayer, but hurried away to their stores. Frank had time only to read a few verses, and to Offer a short prayer. Boys in the city must rise early, or they will lose their devotions. And unless they form the habit at first, they are apt to have prayerless days. I am afraid there are hundreds who never pray at all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
