Book excerpt: Excerpt from More Literary Recreations A measure of acceptance with which the little volume of Literary Recreation; was fortunate enough to meet has emboldened me to put out this further collection of jottings in a library. The pieces here collected, none of which has been printed before, were written, like those in the former volume, in occasional leisure from official duties, and make no claim other than may be founded on the hope that what has interested one Saunterer in a library may meet with sympathetic readers outside.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Recreations The President of the Board of Education said the other day that in these dark times we were entitled to draw consolation whence we might, and that there was a legitimate source of con solation in the spread of the reading habit. Mr. Fisher has seen evidences of it in every omnibus, tram-car, and railway-carriage. Even in the trenches, he added, much reading goes on. There are probably few men who, like General Smuts, have studied the Critique of Pure Reason during a raid; but Mr. Fisher has known instances of officers enjoying the solace of Keats and Milton under the hottest fire, and an anecdote is recorded below (p. 46) of a man in the Lancashire Fusiliers who went into battle with a book by Ruskin. Perhaps, therefore, it may not be taken as any sign of undue detachment from the stress of great events that the author of this little book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Recreations and Miscellanies Oi my voyage out I need not write, as I have spoken of it in my letters already, and it greatly irks me to think of it. Oh, a very long, dismal time of sickness and great discomforts, and many sad thoughts of all I had left, behind, and fears of all I was going to meet in the New England! I can liken it only to an ugly dream. When we got at last to Boston, the sight of the land and trees. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recreations of a Literary Man: Or Does Writing Pay? One result of the following Confessions has been a flood of letters from all quarters, from foreign countries even, addressed to the author, for counsel, direction, and, in more veiled shape, for assistance. Nearly the same tale was told in all these communications. Each had read the inter esting narrative, some with infinite delight: to say nothing of other compliments; but all wished to be put in the way of disposing of manuscripts with all convenient speed. Many of these appeals had a certain piteousness, setting out the hopeless reiteration of writing and copying, and posting to the different flinty publishers, with the almost in variable result. They had toiled round and round the enchanted walls, and tried every gate. The stone had been rolled up with infinite labour again and again, only to descend with a regularity as infinite.

There is no sensation more agreeable than, after a pleasant travel of an hour, to find the train slackening speed as it draws up, say at Staghurst, the Nupton station, on a soft and charming after noon. Everything is very green and pastoral about Staghurst - the hamlet, smoke curling, and the rest; and I, the only passenger alighting, see Nupton's light open waggonette and pair, and Nupton's coachman waiting in a pastoral dreamy way. I call him Nupton, but every one knows some such hospitable friend. All seems innocence and tranquillity, even to the porter who takes the portmanteau, lying abandoned far up on the plat form, and puts it with deep respect into the Nupton waggonette.

These "Recreations" or Confessions may, I fear, be accounted somewhat egotistical. This, however, is unavoidable in a book of the kind. The object has been to put before the reader, in the frankest way, the experiences of a Literary Life, together with some hints on the Art of Enjoying Trifles. I have also been encouraged by the remark of Lord Orford, that whoever set down truthfully and simply what he had felt and observed, could not fail of making an interesting book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections: Literary and Political A certain writer Of the Old time - forty years seems SO long ago - was known, as everything is in our days, by initials, and signed himself A. K. H. B. He wrote a book entitled The Recreations of a Country Parson. I forget what the recreations were, but I believe he amused himself with his pen, for I remember reviewing, in those days, another book by him called Changed Aspects of Unchanged Truths, which was, in fact, a volume Of sermons delivered in St. Andrews, and which he had not courage enough to publish under their proper name. And really the 'changed aspects' was only the name for the old sermons which Dr. Boyd had already inflicted upon his followers. But the title Of the earlier work attracted me - The Recreations of a Country Parson. The recreation Of a man who is busy in one way, according to his calling, is to be busy in another way according to his heart, and in a long life I have found leisure too much for me, and have made holiday in some kind Of work I was not called upon to do.

Download or read book Recreations of a Physician Classic Reprint written by Adam Stuart M. Chisholm and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recreations of a Physician Some of the following essays were read before difierent societies, and some of them have appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association and in the Albany Medical Annals. Many friends have desired their publication in a more durable form and upon these friends rests some measure of responsibility for the present volume. The essays themselves require little preliminary comment on the part of the author, who cannot hope to shelter himself behind his friends from any criticism that may be directed at the opinions that he has endeavored to express. These Opinions will probably be found on examination to be common place rather than startling, and more sedative than sensational, but the accusation of tedium also the author must bear alone, unless some legal provision may be discovered which will enable a process-server to cross the Styx, summon certain shades and compel them to accept service; for these are the gentlemen whose opinions the author has adopted and sought to present as his own. Indeed, a cursory review of these pages has shown him how much there is in them of others and how little of himself. He has been reminded of the novel by castillo-solorzano entitled El Besden vuelto Favor, in which the letter i is not to be found from cover to cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Recreations of Christopher North So was it once with us and the Highlands. That too much familiarity breeds contempt we learned many a long year ago, when learning to write large text; and passages in our life have been a running commentary on the theme then set us by that incomparable caligraphist, Butterworth. All the old familiar faces occasionally come in for a portion of that feeling; and on that ac count, we are glad that we saw, but for one day and one night, Charles Lamb's. Therefore, some dozen years ago we gave up the Highlands, not wishing to quarrel with them, and confined our tender assiduities to the Lowlands, while, like two great Flats as we were, we kept staring away at each other, with our lives on the same level. All the consequences that might naturally have been expected have ensued; and we are now as heartily sick of the Lowlands, and they of us. What can we do but return to our First Love?
