Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Further Reminiscences My first volume of Reminiscences was so kindly received, both by my critics and by the public at large, that in the present book I have brought them up to date. I scarcely dare to hope, however, for the like good fortune with regard to these somewhat numerous additional pages. I have been rash enough to speak of recent events and of well-known people still living with as much frankness as I indulged in before, when dealing with more remote matters and persons. I recognise that this has its drawbacks. It is possible, nevertheless, that some readers may not object to seeing the problems of our daily life, and the characters of a few of those who are endeavouring to handle them, sketched from a different standpoint from that which is usually occupied. I have done my best to put what I have to say clearly, and with as little of prejudice as is possible for one who has always tried to be in the thick of the fight.

To-day we learn from Vienna that Princess Metternich is going to publish her recollections. Like two old fairies of a time almost fabulous the Empress Eugenie and Princess Pauline de Metternich look silently at each other across a Europe turned upside down. What would they say?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Casket of Reminiscences The author of the Reminiscences contained in this volume has little to say in regard to them by way of proem. They were written to amuse a few hours of the summer and autumn of the present year, and appeared almost daily in the columns of the Washington Chronicle precisely as they were originally thrown off from his pen. Though very sensible of their deficiencies in point of literary finish, he has not judged it expedient to modify them in any essential particular; and he will, indeed, be highly gratified if they shall now he read by those into whose hands they may chance to fall with as much interest as they seemed originally to awaken. He has no apology to make for certain rather unkind strictures indulged in regard to several individuals upon whose character and conduct he has undertaken to remark. He has chosen to speak the unvarnished truth, both as to men and things; and he is quite well satisfied that, sooner or later, all considerate and impartial men will come to the conclusion that in doing so he is not justly subject to censure. Should there he those who shall choose to join issue with him as to facts herein narrated they will now have it in their power to do so under circumstances altogether convenient to them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Later Leaves: Being the Further Reminiscences of Montagu Williams, Q. C Such is the programme of the new volume. Thus I launch my little boat upon the stormy waters of public criticism, and if it meets with as favourable a breeze upon its voyage, and reaches port laden with half as valuable a cargo, as its fore runner, I certainly can speak for the captain, and I think I may speak for the charterer, and say that both will be more than satisfied. From the time that I commenced to practise till Sir W. Bodkin's death, the Second Court at the Middlesex Sessions was presided over by Mr. Payne, the deputy-assistant Judge. He was, in his way, a philanthropist. A great man at temper ance meetings and ragged-school readings, he interested himself generally in the welfare of the poorer classes, with whom, in truth, he grew to be somewhat of a favourite. One of his principal delights was to recite to his youthful audiences doggerel of his own composition. In his time Mr. Payne had been a successful defender of prisoners, his clients being generally of the poorer sort. It was upon his practical retirement from the Bar that he received the appointment to the Clerkenwell Bench, at the hands of his old opponent, Mr. (afterwards Sir) William Bodkin. I used often to appear before Mr. Payne, and I particularly remember one case I had in his Court, in the year 1866. A man named Francis Jones was charged with wounding Georgina Evans with intent to do her grievous bodily harm. I was instructed to prosecute by the Society for the Protection of Women and Children. The accused - who was nicknamed the Terror of the Haymarket - was described as a man who got his living by bullying the women who haunted the vicinity of Her Majesty's Theatre. It appeared that they held him in great dread. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New York as It Was Sixty Years Ago: Reminiscences New york as it was sixty years ago, and the great changes that have been made since, can be but faintly realized or understood by reading only still, the writer will endeavor to present a picture of the city as it existed in his boyhood days. The people did not live so fast then, but enjoyed themselves as thoroughly, had more real com fort, and were possessed of more sociability, every man knowing his neighbor and calling him friend. There were many places in the city at which their leisure hours could be passed pleasantly. The Battery was then a large, Open park, containing many fine shade-trees, and fronted by handsome dwellings on State street and Market field street, affording a delightful place for a promenade of a warm day or evening, not the least pleasant feature of which was the sniff of old ocean in the breeze from the harbor in front, the islands in the bay and the far-off hills of Staten Island and New Jersey furnishing the picturesque.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jimtown Reminiscences While acknowledging that some things of to day are far superior to those of the past and beyond the wildest dreams of our childhood days, and that the needs of humanity make it imper ative that some things of yesterday be cast aside, yet it seems, whenever memory takes us back to where our childhood days are brought to View, or when we remember those who, by striving, succeeded in making the world what it is today, that there is a halo around the things of long ago. While these verses are disposed to be opti mistic, yet it does not necessarily follow that the author is always of the same disposition; on the contrary, many of the cheerful lines were written when the author had a bad case of the blues. However, after such effort the clouds have often drifted apart to let the sunlight in. If the read ing of these verses should help some fellow lab orer to bear his burden and perchance give him a broader View of life and cause him at times to reach down and lift up some soul that has be come discouraged; if in their publication the author should find just a few who understand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Candia This little story of Candia, which was written some two years ago, I have at last consented to'have published in book form through the suggestion and advice of friends on whose judgment I rely. I hasten to acknowledge the encouraging aid given me by the Hon. Luther W. Em erson, Sam Walter Foss, and 001. Gilman H. Tucker of New York, and by Alanson Palmer of Brooklyn and the Rev. Samuel 0. Beane, D. D., of Lawrence, Mass., and by my many Candia friends. It should be borne in mind by the reader that in writing this story I have re served to myself the license of the story-teller I have not attempted in these reminiscences to write a history of Candia, neither has it been my alm to write an essay on some literary subject. My only purpose has been to tell a simple, informal story of persons-and things as I knew isthem in my native town, fifty years or more ago. If my friends enjoy reading these Reminiscences of the dear old town we all so greatly love as much as I have enjoyed writing them, then shall I feel more than repaid in tell ing my story of Charmlngfare.

This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of Early Chicago and Vicinity Youth, like softened wax, with ease will take Those images that first impressions make. The evolution of Chicago from an insignificant trading post to what it is to-day, occurring, as it has, during the continuous residence within its borders of a person who, as Holmes would say, is but 68 years young, seems more like a fairy story than an historical reality. I shall not endeavor to make an exact chronological statement of the incidents of our remarkable develop ment, but rather to view the ground in its primal state and speak of the early toilers who planted the seeds which have produced the results so marvelous in themselves and of such interest to us and posterity. My purpose is to draw the curtain (every day be coming more difficult to do), which conceals the slowly fading past from the rapidly changing present, that the reader may acquire, as I did, some knowledge of the characteristics of the men who planted the orchard whose fruit is now the wonder and admiration of every land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Five Years Reminiscences You were a part of the green country, Of the grey hills and the quiet places. They are not the same, the fields and the mountains, Without the lost and beloved faces, And you were a part of the sweet country. There's a road that winds by the foot of the mountains Where I run in my dreams and you come to meet me, With your blue eyes and your cheeks' old roses, The old fond smile that was quick to greet me. They are not the same, the fields and mountains. There is something lost, there is something lonely, The birds are singing, the streams are calling, The sun's the same and the wind in the meadows, But o'er your grave are the shadows falling, The soul is missing, and all is lonely. It is what they said: you were part of the country, You were never afraid of the wind and weather, I can hear in dreams the feet of your pony, You and your pony coming together, You will drive no more through the pleasant country. You were a part of the fields and mountains, Everyone knew you, everyone loved you, All the world was your friend and neighbour, The women smiled and the men approved you. They are not the same, the fields and the mountains. I sigh no more for the pleasant places, The longer I've lost you the more I miss you. My heart seeks you in dreams and shadows, In dreams I find you, in dreams I kiss you, And wake, alas! to the lonely places.
