Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of a Friend But fate has a capricious way of reversing the natural order of things. Today she is gone, and it has passed into the hands of those most concerned, who have thought it desirable to put the rambling pages into a permanent form; while I am still here to add a last line to the best tribute I can ofier to a cherished friend. It is a faithful, spontaneous, and entirely unsought transcript of things as they passed. The facts, noted down at the moment in my diary, and a few letters tell their own story. If these serve in any measure to recall the gracious and attaching personality of one who lived a full life and went out of it bravely, the simple record, without plan as it is, will have fulfilled its purpose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Friends and Memories A short time ago, during one of my periodical visits to London, a friend asked me if I had never thought of writing my memoirs. I was very much astonished, for it had never occurred to me that anyone would care to read anything I had to say about myself and my extremely erratic life. And I couldn't help thinking of a little story that had just been told to me by the landlady of the rooms where I was staying. She was one of the kindest and nicest women I ever came across, and was often extremely amusing. This was her story.

This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Friends Being Literary Recollections of Other Days My book of other Days, containing Chronicles and Memories of Actors, has been received by the public with gratifying favor, and that favor has impelled me to act on a suggestion, coming from several sources, that I should write a companion book, containing Chronicles and Memories of Authors. The result is this book of old Famnns. I was introduced into the companionship of authors early in life, having published my first book, - which led to acquaintance with some of them, - in 1854, and I have had friendly intercourse with many of them, extending over a period of more than fifty years. Some of my recollections of that intercourse are here expressed, with all the kind ness that is consistent with truth, and perhaps my readers will find a little pleasure in rambling with me along the grass-grown pathways of the Past, where the idols of my youthful enthusiasm and the comrades of my pen remain unchanged.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories and Musings When Friend Meets Friend We love the scene where friend meets friend - The quickened step, the mutual gaze, The proffered hand, the heart ablaze. No vicious plot, All ills forgot, When friend meets friend. Past scenes return when friend meets friend - Perhaps a day has passed or more, Perhaps a year, mayhap a score. Years count for naught, Past scene's the thought When friend meets friend. Time takes to wings when friend meets friend - A chat or two, an hour or so, A chore deferred, the sun sinks low, The day is done Ere it's begun When friend meets friend. The mask is raised when friend meets friend - Those secrets held to self most dear One must confide to trusted ear. One joy, one fear, One common tear When friend meets friend. Two Pens At the conference table over the sea Two pens were reflecting in deep reverie. One pen was from Krupp, quite boisterous and bold, And one was of Bethlehem steel, we were told. Said the pen from Krupp to the Bethlehem steel, "Let's confide in each other and our histories reveal." So these are the stories they tell to each other, The pen of Krupp and his Bethlehem brother, As they lay on the table end to end, Where the League of Nation's men have penned.

Are a substantial world, both pure and good: Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood, Our pastime and our happiness will grow. - Wordsworth. Falmouth, January 6. - I was made somewhat conceited this morning by a kind note from Thomas Carlyle. He makes amusing reference to my saying "thou" to him, and threatens to say "thou" to me too, but must not venture at present. Speaking of Verran, he says, "We are not to neglect such when they offer themselves among the half or wholly useless things so enormously copious among us." January 9. - Another characteristic note from Carlyle: - "Dear Caroline, - Thanks for your excellent news.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of Old Friends, Vol. 1: Being Extracts From the Journals and Letters of Caroline Fox of Penjerrick, Cornwall, From 1835 to 1871 "Speak of me as I am, nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice." - Shakespeare. The Journals and Letters from which the following Extracts have been chosen were written by Caroline Fox, of Penjerrick, between the years 1835 and 1871. They speak so clearly for themselves that but few words of introduction or explanation are needed. The Editor's task has been rendered a pleasant one by the help and sympathy of those members of Caroline Fox's family who survive her and keep her memory green. Inasmuch as this book will probably reach the hands of many to whom the family history will be a terra incognita, it becomes necessary that the few following pages of prefatory Memoir should accompany her own "winged words." On the 24th of May 1819, the girl-child of whom we write was born, at Falmouth, into this tough world. She was one of the three children of distinguished parents - distinguished not only by their fine old Quaker lineage, but by the many beautiful qualities which belong to large hearts and minds.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Life Friends: A Psychologist's Memories IN the forties, when I came upon the scene, Bridgwater was by no means an imposing-looking town. Whether one reached it from the big energetic Bristol city or from the more elegant and aristocratic city Of Exeter, farther to the west, it was apt to appear poor, if not mean. Depression Of the eye was likely to be followed by that Of the lungs, for the air was heavy and relaxing, so that even local doctors have been known to resort to the self-denying ordinance Of advising their patients to get out of it as Often as possible. A longer inspection, however, was calculated to modify a first hasty condemnation Of the Old town. If its air was a little soporific, it was flushed now and again with quickening currents borne by the rushing tides Of the river from the near-lying Bristol Channel. If the broad sweep Of more or less marshy flats to the south and east bred ague and other evil things, these moors were a fattening pasturage which made the town a mart for excellent butter, cheese, and other commodities. The muddy river itself, which looked the picture Of unwholesome stagnation when the tide was low, contributed to our welfare. Spring-tides lifted the water to SO high a level that ships Of a respectable tonnage could reach the docks of our port.
