Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men and Manners in America My next occupation was to look over my letters of introduction. Of these I found above thirty addressed to New York, and being by no means anxious to become involved in so wide a vortex of acquaintance, I request ed one of my American fellow-passengers to select such, as, from his local knowledge, he imagined might prove of more immediate service to a traveller like myself. In consequence of this arrangement, about half the let ters with which the kindness of my friends had furnished me, were discarded, and I can truly say, that the very warm and obliging reception I experienced from those to whom I forwarded introductions, left me no room to r ret the voluntary limitation of their number.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men and Manners in America, Vol. 2 of 2 In one Of the squares of the city, there is what is called the Battle Monument, a sort of trophy column, erected to commemorate the repulse Of the attack on the city during the late war, and the names of those who fell. In its defence. This structure, which is about fifty feet in height, consists of a column repro senting the Roman fasces, symbolical of the Union, rising from a square pedestal, which tapers in the Egyptian style, with a griflin at each corner. Above, is the statue of Victory, with an eagle at her side. The effect Of the whole is sadly injured by a most anomalous complexity of petty details. Indeed, so vicious is this monument in point Of taste, that it is difficult to believe it the production Of the same period which has adorned the city with the noble 'structure to Washington.

Download or read book Manners for Men Classic Reprint written by C. E. Humphry and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manners for Men In introducing two men to each other the name of the inferior is mentioned first. By the in ferior I mean the younger, the less important, or of lower rank. Suppose one of the two to be a familiar friend, and another a comparatively new acquaintance, then formality requires that the familiar friend shall be introduced to the other, being named first. The reason for this is that one naturally stands more on ceremony with the man one knows least. There may be counteracting circumstances, however, which would tend to reverse this order of things, but as a general rule, the social rank of both being equal, the above holds good. Never introduce a lady to a gentle man; but always the gentleman to the lady. That is, mention the man's name first, addressing yourself to the woman thus: Allow me to introduce my friend Mr. Smith, Miss Jones. And follow this up immediately by saying, Miss Jones, addressing Mr. Smith as you 'do so. It is a grave solecism to begin by intro ducing the lady. Tyros very naturally conclude that the lady's name should be first mentioned; but on thinking it over they will soon perceive that to do so would infer that she is the lesser consideration of the two.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men, Manners Morals in South America Having regard to the present parlous price Of paper and to the patience of much-suffering readers, the perpetration of yet another book on South America might appear at the outset to call for some explanation, if not for apology. The list of books published under this heading in recent years is indeed so formidable that the world may well be weary Of it. From the library catalogue point Of View, the subject might well seem to have been exhausted, every part Of the continent having been ransacked and described, all its words and works recorded. Yet, how few there be amongst all these works (as some Of us know to our cost) that properly and worthily inculcate the profitable exercise Of travel, or that appeal to and justify the wandering instinct Of rational man! Say what you will, the great majority of them are so dreadfully infected with stodgy commercialism, so monumentally useful, that their general effect upon the mind (unless it be the mind of a bagman) can only be compared to a surfeit Of suet pudding. Here and there only, rarz' names, amidst all these dreary volumes, will you find the sort Of company for which the Lord of Montaigne looked (alas, how oft in vain in all his journeyings - that rare chance and seld-seene fortune, but Of exceeding solace and inestimable worth, to wit.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Americans at Home, Vol. 2 of 2: Pen-and-Ink Sketches of American Men, Manners and Institutions Notwithstanding the loss to which Emancipation has subjected the Southern people, and the agony of the process by which it was accomplished, I scarcely meta single man or woman who expressed regret that slavery was gone. The South feels like a man who has been subjected against his will to a severe operation - an operation which he thought would kill him, which has terribly prostrated him, from which he is still doubtful if he will completely recover, but which being fairly over, has given him prodigious relief. The anti-slavery agitation turned attention so exclusively to the burdens which the system fixed upon the slave, that few have considered the burdens which it fixed also upon the slaveholder, and the trying position in which latterly it placed him. The ownership of slaves involved a very serious responsibility. This was specially felt by those masters and mistresses who realized that the negroes, so entirely committed to their charge, were beings with souls as well as bodies, for whose moral condition, therefore, they were largely responsible. But even on the man who looked upon his negroes as only so many working animals or cotton-picking machines, slavery imposed burdens from which the employer of free labour is exempt.

Download or read book The Last American Man written by Elizabeth Gilbert and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2009-08-17 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: _____________ 'It is almost impossible not to fall under the spell of Eustace Conway ... his accomplishments, his joy and vigor, seem almost miraculous' - New York Times Review of Books 'Gilbert takes a bright-eyed bead on Eustace, hitting him square with a witty modernist appraisal of folkloric American masculinity' - The Times 'Conversational, enthusiastic, funny and sharp, the energy of The Last American Man never ebbs' - New Statesman _____________ A fascinating, intimate portrait of an endlessly complicated man: a visionary, a narcissist, a brilliant but flawed modern hero At the age of seventeen, Eustace Conway ditched the comforts of his suburban existence to escape to the wild. Away from the crushing disapproval of his father, he lived alone in a teepee in the mountains. Everything he needed he built, grew or killed. He made his clothes from deer he killed and skinned before using their sinew as sewing thread. But he didn't stop there. In the years that followed, he stopped at nothing in pursuit of bigger, bolder challenges. He travelled the Mississippi in a handmade wooden canoe; he walked the two-thousand-mile Appalachian Trail; he hiked across the German Alps in trainers; he scaled cliffs in New Zealand. One Christmas, he finished dinner with his family and promptly upped and left - to ride his horse across America. From South Carolina to the Pacific, with his little brother in tow, they dodged cars on the highways, ate road kill and slept on the hard ground. Now, more than twenty years on, Eustace is still in the mountains, residing in a thousand-acre forest where he teaches survival skills and attempts to instil in people a deeper appreciation of nature. But over time he has had to reconcile his ambitious dreams with the sobering realities of modernity. Told with Elizabeth Gilbert's trademark wit and spirit, The Last American Man is an unforgettable adventure story of an irrepressible life lived to the extreme. The Last American Man is a New York Times Notable Book and National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist.
