Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Canterbury Here is a time in the lives of most men and more women when the veriest trivialities are not only pleasing but act upon the system as healing balm. To enjoy life, work is a necessity, and there is nothing much truer than the state ment that he is most miserable who has nothing to do. I well remember a gentleman, who having retired in Canterbury from a successful London business, on more than one occasion begging me to find him some work in my office, which he would gladly do without payment for a few hours every day. (to thoroughly understand a builder's business is the business of a life-time, and those who have not been apprenticed to it are not likely to find much in it but trouble and vexation.) My private opinion is that this good man died for want of employment at least thirty years before he need have done. Some men have to kill time, which is indeed a strange expres sion to those who lead a life of happiness simply through finding so much to do for other people while doing what is necessary for themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Canterbury Tales That we begin to ask what halves may mean, Since they in ever-changing forms are seen. Take half of eight; twice two, or four times one, And see how different halves in form may run, When equal area's not of equal length, While equal size may have unequal strength; A whole mob's wisdom often will not reach To half of what one learned sage can teach; When two take halves in sharing wisdom, it Not follows they take equal shares of wit; And, two wits being equal, oft we find Their gifts unequal; so wills Fortune blind; And then, again - stop, lest my brain, o'erwrought, Should find its travelled farther than it ought. Thus thought I, as, in fancy, once I went Along that pleasant road in fertile Kent That's known as Watling Street. I rode a horse That lightly carried me along the course; Though you'll say I did ne'er on horseback act; But this is fancy; don't forget that fact. My head, with gloomy lumbering thought opprest, So heavy grew, it drooped upon my breast; It had, with heavier thought, dropped at my feet, And thought no more; 'tis thus extremes do meet. When, on a sudden, a sharp clattering sound Of hoofs disturbed my thought, and, looking round, I saw, swift coming onward, and with force, A heavier man than I, a heavier horse About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Rambles Round Old Canterbury Classic Reprint written by Francis W. Cross and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles Round Old Canterbury Canterbury Cathedral is too vast, too rich in art history, and tradition to be included in this little book. But around that matchless pile, and overshadowed by it, there are monuments which - more venerable than Christ Church itself - are memorials of the earliest English Christianity. Few, however, of the many thousands who, year by year, come to Canterbury from all parts of the world, take more than a passing glance, or bestow more than a passing thought, on these hallowed sites. This partly arises from the fact that, while the Cathedral has been repeatedly described and illustrated, there is no book which the visitor can take as an intelligent guide to the city and the surrounding parishes. He must seek for information in various works which are costly and difficult to obtain, or be satisfied with the few pages of meagre and inaccurate description contained in the local guide books. The authors of this volume have endeavoured to give a popular account of St. Martin's, St. Pancras, St. Augustine's, and the other principal remains of antiquity in and around the city.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Chronicle of the Archbishops of Canterbury The prominent part played in English history by the arch bishops of Canterbury is a striking proof of the dominating influence exercised by the Christian Church in the making of our state and nation. Throughout many centuries few political or social crises occurred in our history in which the ruling successor of St. Augustine did not take a leading part. Though in this long line of illustrious prelates stretching from the sixth to the twentieth century many were justly accused of being led through ambition to neglect ecclesiastical for state affairs, yet of few can it be said that they died faithless at heart to the Church they served.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canterbury As we stand upon the summit of Bell Harry Tower - more happily called the Angel Steeple of Canterbury Cathedral, looking down upon city and countryside, much of the history of England lies spread beneath our feet: the Britons were at work here before the Romans came marching with their stolid legions here to Ethelbert, Saxon King of Kent, St Augustine preached the gospel of Christ; in the church below, Becket was murdered and the Black Prince buried; to this city, to the shrine of St Thomas, came innumerable pilgrims, one of them our first great English poet; then the crash of the Reformation swept away shrines and pilgrims, the mirk and romance of mediaeval ism vanished into the mists of history, and the city to-day lives chiefly in the past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Memorials of Canterbury In July 1851, Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, the future Dean of Westminster, was appointed a Canon of Canterbury. About a year before, on the death of his eldest brother Owen, he became the heir to a small landed property and had to give up his fellowship at University College, Oxford. This prepared the way for his Canterbury charge. He was much involved at this time in his exacting work on the Oxford University Commission (which engaged him till July 1852); but he threw himself whole-heartedly into his new work at Canterbury, and he felt the interest and immemorial charm of the place profoundly from his first real acquaintance with it. He had dreaded the change, when it was first proposed. In his days of parting with Oxford, he asked one of his pupils to think of him as lost in "that huge Cathedral." But once established he found the quiet, the rare and gentle antiquity, and the peace-giving associations of Canterbury healing to his mind. They were at the same time most quickening to his historical imagination. He actually became Canon in residence towards the end of November. On December the 29th, the anniversary of Becket's death, he went at five o'clock, the fatal hour, to the spot which every Canterbury pilgrim visits. He found the great, solemn church full of "history and ghosts," as he put it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
