Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Pictures to See in America It has been no easy task to collect data and photographs from the length and breadth of this great country; in fact, it would have been impossible except for the kindly co-operation of the museum authorities of the various cities in suggesting their best pictures and sending photographs for reproduction. I wish that I might mention by name all who have aided in the work and thus thank them publicly for their assistance. As this is not feasible, the chapters devoted to the various collections will bespeak my appreciation of their wisdom.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Notes: And Pictures From Italy IT is nearly eight years since this book was first published. I present it, unaltered, in the Cheap Edition; and such of my opinions as it expresses, are quite unaltered too. My readers have opportunities of judging for themselves whether the influences and tendencies which I distrust in America, have any existence not in my imagination. They can examine for themselves whether there has been anything in the public career of that country during these past eight years, or whether there is anything in its present position, at home or abroad, which suggests that those influences and tendencies really do exist. As they find the fact, they will judge me. If they discern any evidences of wrong - going in any direction that I have indicated, they will acknow ledge that I had reason in what I wrote. If they discern no such thing, they will consider me altogether mistaken. Prejudiced, I never have been otherwise than in favour of the United States. No visitor can ever have set foot on those shores, with a stronger faith in the Republic than I had, when I landed in America. I purposely abstain from extending these observations to any length. I have nothing to defend, or to explain away. The truth is the truth; and neither childish absurdities, nor unscrupulous contradictions, can make it otherwise. The earth would still move round the sun, though the whole Catholic Church said No. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book United States Pictures written by Richard Lovett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from United States Pictures: Drawn With Pen and Pencil For a number of years the 'pen and Pencil Series' had upon its list a volume entitled American Pictures. It was written by the late Dr. Manning, and enjoyed a wide popularity. But in America things move quickly, and this book in almost all of its engravings, and in much of the letterpress, now possesses only an antiquarian value. Hence the resolution was taken to prepare an entirely new book; and to prevent all possibility of confusion with its predecessor, a new title was taken. United States Pictures has not a line of text in common with American Pictures, and of the one hundred and ninety-six engravings in the latter only five reappear in the former.

This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Picture of Slavery in the United States of America Where is the charter found to sanctify Despotic, base, unqualified control, O'er strength and will, by man enthroned o'er man? In Revelation's code you find it not, Nor in Creation's multifarious laws. The will of Heaven, when unrevealed by Christ, Or by the sacred organs of his word, Is sought and found in the primeval light, Which Nature sheds through her expanded spheres. But when with Gospel-day this light combines, The fool who doubts, who asks for clearer proof Must hood-wink'd be indeed, and darkness love. That such resistless evidence obtains, To evince Demoniac Slavery's turpitude, With all the powers of brightest Truth appears, To the impartial mind that views each source, Whence the full streams of testimony flow. Each text of Sacred Writ enjoining love, Affection, justice, mercy, meekness, peace, And piety, establishes this truth, That Slavery contravenes the law of God!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Impressions of America Turn back now to(i), zle. The experiment with the forefinger alone, and keeping the attention fixed on the finger, look first at some object not very far behind the finger (216. On the side of it away from the eye), and then at some object much further off: you will notice that the further off is the object at which you look, the greater is the distance between the two images of the finger, so that by looking at an object a suitable distance away, the two images of the forefinger may be made to move as far apart as we wish, within certain limits. It is in this way that we can bring the two stereoscopic pictures into coincidence, and although it is impossible to avoid a somewhat tedious description of this method, in practice it is quite easy, especially after a person has once succeeded.

Download or read book American Photography written by Vicki Goldberg and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautiful and informative photographic history includes images from 1900 to 1999. Many are often seen (bullet piercing the apple, splashing crown of milk, Sophia Loren looking askance at Jayne Mansfield's plunging decollete, and Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother); but most are probably unknown, because the photos were selected not only for their visual and cognitive qualities but also for their importance to the history and development of photographic technique and usage. The century is divided into thirds for explanation's sake, and there is at least one photograph for every year. While this is a picture book, the accompanying text provides informative introductions to the uses and abuses of perhaps the century's most important medium. The book is companion to the PBS series.
