"A working-man with a family can afford no kickshaws." "No," said the young widow, looking up in the rugged face with a tearful smile; "and that is why he can afford to come all these miles without a fee, to visit a sick child!" "Tut, tut!" he answered shortly. "Will corbies pick oot corbies' een? That wasn't much to do for poor Tom's boy - and yours. Now, don't fret. The child's all right. Keep up his strength, and don't be afraid of fresh air. Good-bye." "Good-bye," she said, scarcely lowering her voice as much as he could have wished. "God bless you! You are - the shadow of a great rock in a weary land!" The train was moving slowly out of the station, and the doctor hastily clapped the pockets of his baggy old ulster in search of his daily paper.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Suffolk County Historical Society: Oct 1st, 1889 The settlements of Plymouth, Salem, Boston and those ad jacent thereto would naturally be fixed by the voyagers on or near the ocean they had crossed and a harbor where supplies could be brought from the country they had left. There after, in the selection of sites at Hartford, Windsor, Wethers field, Saybrook, New Haven, Gardiner's Island, Southold, Southampton, East - Hampton, other elements complicated the problem. The interior was a. Wilderness, the home of the savage and the wild beast. The progress of the traveler was slow, dangerous and the road uncertain and hard to keep. The ocean, bay and river were more easily crossed. Colonies located thereon were more easily supplied, visited, succored and defended. In the wilderness, man to man, the hostile Indian might equal the hostile Englishman. Oh the ocean, bay or river one small vessel of the latter could beat the canoes of a continent. Not by chance or accident, or without careful thought were the early settlements in this country so located that the settlers could be sustained, supplied, visited, suc cored, defended. Thus fixed, the forest, the stream, the her bor contributed game and fowl and fish to sustain the pioneer. Thus established, he could export surplus products derived from the waters, the air or the earth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Traveller s Daybook written by Fergus Fleming and published by Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterly anthology of extracts from the journals and writings of travelers, explorers, and adventurers throughout history, taking the reader on one unforgettable journey for each day of the year Inviting readers to cross ocean, desert, mountain, and ice-cap in the company of the world's greatest explorers, wanderers, and writers, this day-by-day anthology of travel writing ranges widely across time as well as place: from Christopher Columbus's "discovery" of the West Indies in 1492 to Anton Chekhov's journey through Siberia in the 19th century and on to Wilfred Thesiger's wanderings in Arabia's "empty quarter" in the 1940s. Each quoted extract is accompanied by a brief commentary that introduces the writer and establishes the context of the excerpt, while integrated paintings and black and white etchings chime with the period of the chosen extracts. The itinerary offers the astonishment of the 17th-century diarist John Evelyn on beholding the size of women's shoes in Venice; the stoic courage of Captain Scott facing death at 40 degrees below zero; the exasperation of Dylan Thomas at finding himself in a "stifflipped, liverish, British Guest House in puking Abadan;" and the philosophical introspection of Fridtjof Nansen as he drifts in an "interminable and rigid world" of Arctic ice. Readers will find Napoleon's travel tips to his niece, a flight over Germany with Hitler, and an ex-pat dinner in Morocco where human blood is served from the fridge by the pint. Covering the whole calendar, including leap years, these 366 journeys are by turn lyrical, witty, tragic, and bizarre—but always entertaining.
Download or read book Liberty s Dawn written by Emma Griffin and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Emma Griffin gives a new and powerful voice to the men and women whose blood and sweat greased the wheels of the Industrial Revolution” (Tim Hitchcock, author of Down and Out in Eighteenth-Century London). This “provocative study” looks at hundreds of autobiographies penned between 1760 and 1900 to offer an intimate firsthand account of how the Industrial Revolution was experienced by the working class (The New Yorker). The era didn’t just bring about misery and poverty. On the contrary, Emma Griffin shows how it raised incomes, improved literacy, and offered exciting opportunities for political action. For many, this was a period of new, and much valued, sexual and cultural freedom. This rich personal account focuses on the social impact of the Industrial Revolution, rather than its economic and political histories. In the tradition of bestselling books by Liza Picard, Judith Flanders, and Jerry White, Griffin gets under the skin of the period and creates a cast of colorful characters, including factory workers, miners, shoemakers, carpenters, servants, and farm laborers. “Through the ‘messy tales’ of more than 350 working-class lives, Emma Griffin arrives at an upbeat interpretation of the Industrial Revolution most of us would hardly recognize. It is quite enthralling.” —The Oldie magazine “A triumph, achieved in fewer than 250 gracefully written pages. They persuasively purvey Griffin’s historical conviction. She is intimate with her audience, wooing it and teasing it along the way.” —The Times Literary Supplement “An admirably intimate and expansive revisionist history.” —Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: Chiang Yee's account of London, first published in 1938, is original in more ways than one. Not only one of the first widely available books written by a Chinese author in English, it also reverses the conventions of travel writing. For here the "exotic" subject matter is none other than London and its people, quizzically observed as an alien culture by a foreign writer.
