Download or read book Recollections Personal and Literary Classic Reprint written by Richard Henry Stoddard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections, Personal and Literary His youth showed again how much more inborn tendency has to do with one's life than any exter nal forces, such as guardianship, means, and what we call education. The thrush takes to the bough, wheresoever hatched and fledged. Many waters cannot quench genius, neither can the floods drown it. The story of Dickens's boyhood, as told by him self, is not more pathetic, nor is its outcome more beautiful, than the story of Richard Henry Stod dard's experiences, his orphanage, his few years' meagre schooling, his work as a boy in all sorts of shifting occupations, the attempt to make a learned blacksmith of him, his final apprenticeship to iron moulding, at which he worked on the East Side from his eighteenth to his twenty-first year. As Dr. Griswold put it, he began to mould his thoughts into the symmetry of verse while he moulded the molten metal into shapes of grace. Stoddard, how ever, afterward said that a knowledge of foundries was not one of the learned doctor's strong points.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Recollections: From Early Life to Old Age, of Mary Somerville, With Selections From Her Correspondence Few thoughtful minds will read without emotion my mother's own account of the wonderful energy and in domitable perseverance by which, in her ardent thirst for knowledge, she overcame obstacles apparently insar mountable, at a time when women were well-nigh totally debarred from education and the almost intuitive way in which she entered upon studies of which she had scarcely heard the names, living, as she did, among persons to whom they were utterly unknown, and who disapproved of her devotion to pursuits so different from those of ordinary young girls at the end of the last century, especially in Scotland, which was far more old-fashioned and primitive than Englan d. Nor is her simple account of her early days without interest, when, as a lonely child, she wandered by the seashore, and on the links of Burntisland, collecting shells and flowers or spent the clear, cold nights at her window, watching the starlit heavens, whose mysteries she was destined one day to penetrate in all their pro found and sublime laws, making clear to others that knowledge which she herself had acquired, at the cost of so hard a struggle.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sunny Memories: Containing Personal Recollections of Some Celebrated Characters The first breakfast party I remember was I think in 1843, and it made the strongest impression, though I enjoyed so many others. The hour was ten o'clock, and it was a bright Spring morning; the well-known dining room at 22, St. James Place, filled with beautiful pictures, each rare specimens of the old masters-the kind host sitting near the window, which opened into a small garden, leading to the Green Park; the breakfast which consisted of tea and coffee, various kinds of bread, two vases of fruit, and some ham and tongue, completed the simple repast while a rich feast was generally in store for the mind.

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Recollections of Distinguished Generals Writing contemporaneous history is the most thank less of tasks, and I discover also one of the least inde pendent of labors. Still I have not written with a goose quill, and there has been some gall in my ink, yet I do; not think I have any thing in the ensuing chapters to blot. I do not think I have done any man injustice. I have written many sentences and made many assertions which will doubtless be termed strong, but in writing these I am only the amanuensis of truth; and I write with the firm belief that historical truth should be only less sacred than religious truth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Recollections of Abraham Lincoln Lincoln lore has become so rich in recent years, and so voluminous withal, that he who would add to it must needs show cause why his book should be read. And yet, in spite of all that has been written, it cannot be said that we yet have a thoroughly satisfactory interpretation of the life and work and character of our First American. A few have had the necessary knowledge and sympathy, but their literary power has not always been adequate. Others have written well, but they have failed of insight and understanding. In the meantime the volume of facts, impressions, and reminiscences increases, and by assembling items from a variety of sources we are coming to a composite conception of our prophet-president that is at once vivid and satisfying.
