Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From the Somme to the Rhine At last I have got back to France. As a result of my labours at the Staff School, I have returned as a regimental officer on staff probation, which means that I shall have to undergo periods of attachment to various units in the field before receiving an appointment. We crossed from Folkestone to Boulogne in the s.s. Victoria, one of a convoy of three fast Channel steamers. On our port bow were a destroyer and a large motor patrol boat, on our starboard side a second destroyer; several s.s. airships flew overhead, and as the sea was calm and the weather fine the crossing was most enjoyable. The military landing officer at Boulogne told me that I was posted to the 58th (London) Division, and should get further orders from the commandant of St. Martin's Camp in the morning. This is a pleasant surprise because my brother Percy is Brigade Major of the 175th Brigade in the 58th Division.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pilgrims of the Rhine I have made the experiment of selecting for the main interest of my work the simplest materials, and weaving upon them the ornaments given chiefly to subjects of a more fanciful and ideal nature. I know not how far I have succeeded, but various reasons have conspired to make this the work, above all others that I have written, which has given me the most delight (though not unmixed with melan choly) in producing, and in which my mind, for the time, has been the most completely absorbed. But the ardour of composition is often disproportioned to the merit of the work; and the public sometimes, nor unjustly, avenges itself for that forgetfulness of its existence, which makes the chief charm of an author's solitude - and the happiest, if not the wisest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author joined the war effort only late in the war in 1918., He was witness to the last disintegrations of the German war machine as the Allied forces finally pushed into Germany itself. As an officer of the 173rd brigade, 58th Division, he was at the forefront of the advance at many points, seeing the horrors of the war for the first time. Unlike many wartime memoirs of the First World War, Ashmead-Barlett recounts his experiences in Germany, offering some idea of what the war must have been like for the civilian population. His writing is fresh and immediate: not desensitised by years of fighting, he is very frank about the brutalities and horrors of the last months of the War. Author — Ashmead-Bartlett (later Burdett-Coutts), Seabury H., 1887- Text taken, whole and complete, from the edition published in London: John Lane; 1921. Original Page Count – 205 pages.

IT is nearly dusk. That indescribable melancholy which takes possession of the heart at the close of day seems to extend over the entire landscape. Which is really sad at such times? Is it nature, or is it our selves? A white mist rises from the depths of the immense valley of the Vosges the tall reeds along the river-bank sigh lugubriously the steamboat struggles on through the water like a big, tired dog; all the weary, drowsy passengers have gone down into the cabin, which is filled with bundles, valises, loaded tables, and sleeping people. The deck is almost deserted. Three German students still linger there, silent and motion less, smoking their pipes, without making a gesture or uttering a word, - three statues; I make a fourth as I stand staring out into space.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends of the Rhine Then the sound of a melodious female voice Speaking the English language fell On my ears. I looked round. A girl was bending over a book, and entertaining her father and mother by reading something of Special interest and beauty. I listened and recognised some of my own sentences rendered into the speech of Shakespeare. These three were learning to feel the glamour of the Lorelei legend as I had felt it. I confess my pulse beat quicker as I heard my poor endeavours highly praised, and I could not refrain from advancing and thanking the young reader for her kindly appreciation. She seemed delighted when she discovered that I was the author, and rose to greet me in the most amiable manner. I complimented the travellers on the fact, that during the last century the Rhine seemed to have become for the English people that home of romance which we Germans sought to find in Italy. The girl smiled, and remarked that I must pay that compliment to her mother in particular, as she was by birth an English woman. But the head of the family hastened to add that among Americans, whom he might speak for, the enthusiasm for the beauties of the Rhine was not less than among their anglo-saxon cousins. These two nations which are bound by so many ties to each other, and also to ourselves, were thus represented before me. The English-speaking people undoubtedly form by far the largest contingent of our Rhine travellers, and it was pleasant indeed to receive so fine a testimonial to the beauties of my homeland.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heidenmauer or the Benedictines: A Legend of the Rhine It would be injustice to the ancient Bishopric of Liege to pass its beautiful scenery without a comment. The country possesses nearly every requisite for the milder and more rural sort of landscape - isolated and innumerable farm houses, herds in the fields, living hedges, a waving surface, and a verdure to rival the emerald. By a happy accident, the road runs for miles on an elevated ridge, enabling the traveller to enjoy these beauties at his ease. At aix-la-chapelle we bathed, visited the relics, saw the scene of so many coronations of emperors of more or less renown, sat in the chair of Charlemagne, and went our way.
