D. 1653, and the Birthday of the City of New York; a fine winter day, cold and clear with a glorious sunshine over land and sea. The frosted trees sparkled and shone above the white streets, noisy with a happy crowd of men, women and children. The men had an air of triumphant gravity, the women, dressed in their best garments, were visiting from house to house, and the youths and maidens were going with laughter and chattering to skate on the Collect Pond or the East River. For this was a day of rejoicing, and there was a release from work of every kind. It was the birthday of a new city in the world; and its citizens may have felt - though they could not see - the glory of its future.

It is very evident that you don't understand Gallio this, however, is only natural, as he was before your time. It is a disadvantage to be either behind or before your age. David, Israel's favorite king, had the good sense to serve his own generation, ' which accounts for his general success. These Utopian men who insist upon climbing the hills of futurity and plan ning for the interests of unborn millions are exceed ingly tiresome. It is true that Solomon did not say, 'make hay while the sun shines, ' but he did say, The churning of milk bringeth forth butter, ' which means practically the same thing. Take my advice, and churn milk. Improve the breed and condition of the cows; see that the pasturage is good; get the latest and most improved churn let butter be your objective point. The world insists upon your making butter, and the more of it you can make and market the better for yourself and all concerned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Miss. Livingston's Companion: A Love Story of Old New York I could never have believed that the Sight of my father could give me so little pleasure. I tried to think, while I was shaking hands with him, in an embarrassed and half-hearted way, I fear, what excuse I could make for running off from him immedi ately; for the thought of disappointing Peggy who, I had no doubt, was ardently and impatiently expecting my arrival in Stratford, did not occur to me for a moment. But I soon made up my mind that the only honest way was, as the American philosopher says, also the best policy: I must make a clean breast of it to my father, for he was much too shrewd a man to be deceived by any halting excuses, even if I had been willing to make the attempt. On the whole it would be rather a relief to have it over, for the confession was bound to come some time, and the sooner it was made the sooner I could hope to claim Peggy - my father's consent being a necessary preliminary. Therefore, while mentally anathematizing old Hardwick, to whom I was sure I was indebted for this visit, I plunged boldly in. I am very glad to see you, sir, I said, inwardly quavering but outwardly bold, though I could have wished I might have known of your coming in time to put off an important engage ment in Stratford which compels my leaving on the noon coach. An engagement in Stratford exclaimed my father, in real or pretended astonishment. Pray, what business takes you to Stratford, my boy? I have promised, Sir, to spend Sunday there with Miss Wol verton, I answered steadily enough, though feeling the red flood rushing to my temples.

Download or read book Return to Romance written by Ogden Whitney and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By turns amusing and disturbing, this collection of 1960s romance comic strips provides a provocative window into male-female power dynamics as conceived by one of mid-century America's foremost comic book artists. Ogden Whitney was one of the unsung masters of American comics. He is perhaps best remembered for co-creating the satirical superhero Herbie Popnecker, also known as the Fat Fury, but his romance comics of the late 1950s and 1960s may be even more unique. In Whitney’s hands, the standard formula of meet-cute, minor complications, and final blissful kiss becomes something very different: an unsettling vision of midcentury American romance as a devastating power struggle, a form of intimate psychological warfare dressed up in pearls and flannel suits. From suburban lawns and offices to rocket labs and factories, his men and women scheme and clash, dominate and escape. It is darkly hilarious, truly terrifying—and yes, occasionally even a bit romantic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Confident to-Morrow: A Novel of New York When at last the train stood still, and the impatient passengers poured forth and pressed forward as though a prize had been offered to the one who should first reach the ferry-boat, Frank Sartain found himself hastening ahead as eagerly as any of the others. He was glad of a chance to stretch his legs again, for he was weary with the two nights spent on the cars, and with the long intervening day. He felt draggled and dirty from his journey; and as the procession of passengers came out into the open air, he drew a long breath, as though to cleanse his lungs. A breeze blew in from the river, damp but not chill, considering the time of the year. Sartain wondered if it were always as mild as this in New York in the middle of October. He had not been East for several years; and even at best his acquaintance with the great city was confined to two or three chance visits when the college glee club had come down to give its annual concert. And now he was entering New York to stay; it was in New York hereafter that he was to wage the battle of life, and to fight his way to the front.

Download or read book Gumshoe America written by Sean McCann and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2000-12-06 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Gumshoe America Sean McCann offers a bold new account of the hard-boiled crime story and its literary and political significance. Illuminating a previously unnoticed set of concerns at the heart of the fiction, he contends that mid-twentieth-century American crime writers used the genre to confront and wrestle with many of the paradoxes and disappointments of New Deal liberalism. For these authors, the same contradictions inherent in liberal democracy were present within the changing literary marketplace of the mid-twentieth-century United States: the competing claims of the elite versus the popular, the demands of market capitalism versus conceptions of quality, and the individual versus a homogenized society. Gumshoe America traces the way those problems surfaced in hard-boiled crime fiction from the1920s through the 1960s. Beginning by using a forum on the KKK in the pulp magazine Black Mask to describe both the economic and political culture of pulp fiction in the early twenties, McCann locates the origins of the hard-boiled crime story in the genre’s conflict with the racist antiliberalism prominent at the time. Turning his focus to Dashiell Hammett’s career, McCann shows how Hammett’s writings in the late 1920s and early 1930s moved detective fiction away from its founding fables of social compact to the cultural alienation triggered by a burgeoning administrative state. He then examines how Raymond Chandler’s fiction, unlike Hammett’s, idealized sentimental fraternity, echoing the communitarian appeals of the late New Deal. Two of the first crime writers to publish original fiction in paperback—Jim Thompson and Charles Willeford—are examined next in juxtaposition to the popularity enjoyed by their contemporaries Mickey Spillane and Ross Macdonald. The stories of the former two, claims McCann, portray the decline of the New Deal and the emergence of the rights-based liberalism of the postwar years and reveal new attitudes toward government: individual alienation, frustration with bureaucratic institutions, and dissatisfaction with the growing vision of America as a meritocracy. Before concluding, McCann turns to the work of Chester Himes, who, in producing revolutionary hard-boiled novels, used the genre to explore the changing political significance of race that accompanied the rise of the Civil Rights movement in the late 1950s and the 1960s. Combining a striking reinterpretation of the hard-boiled crime story with a fresh view of the political complications and cultural legacies of the New Deal, Gumshoe America will interest students and fans of the genre, and scholars of American history, culture, and government.
