Book excerpt: Excerpt from North and South "Haste to the Wedding." "Wooed and married and a'." "Edith!" said Margaret, gently, "Edith!" But as Margaret half suspected, Edith had fallen asleep. She lay curled up on the sofa in the back drawing-room in Harley Street looking very lovely in her white muslin and blue ribbons. If Titania had ever been dressed in white muslin and blue ribbons, and had fallen asleep on a crimson damask sofa in a back drawing-room, Edith might have been taken for her. Margaret was struck afresh by her cousin's beauty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from North and South, Vol. 1 of 2 On its first appearance in "Household Words," this tale was obliged to conform to the conditions imposed by the requirements of a weekly publication, and likewise to confine itself within certain advertised limits, in order that faith might be kept with the public. Although these conditions were made as light as they well could be, the author found it impossible to develope the story in the manner originally intended, and, more especially, was compelled to hurry on events with an improbable rapidity towards the close. In some degree to remedy this obvious defect, various short passages have been inserted, and several new chapters added. With this brief explanation, the tale is commended to the kindness of the reader; "Beseking hym lowly, of mercy and pite, Of its rude makyng to have compassion."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from North and South, Vol. 2 of 2 If Mr. Thornton was a fool in the morning, as he assured himself at least twenty times he was, he did not grow much wiser in the afternoon. All that he gained in return for his sixpenny omnibus ride, was a more vivid conviction that there never was, never could be, any one like Margaret; that she did not love him and never would; but that she - nol nor the whole world - should never hinder him from loving her. And so he returned to the little market-place, and remounted the omnibus to return to Milton. It, was late in the afternoon when he was set down; near his warehouse. The accustomed places brought back the accustomed habits and trains of thought. He knew how much he had to do - more than his usual work, owing to the commotion of the day before. He had to see his brother magistrates he had to complete the arrangements, only half made in the morning, for the comfort and safety Of his.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Free America: Or Tales From North and South As "good wine needs no bush," I am sure that Miss Wetherell's sketches from real life in free America need no word of introduction from me. For they have the rare merit of simplicity, and of going straight to the heart of the wrongs which they depict. I found them frank, sympathetic, natural, and breathing throughout an air of human brotherhood and liberty. In a land where so much of the national life is out of joint with justice and equality, this little book is the brave attempt of a brave woman to set that life right with the fundamental principles of the Republic. It has, therefore, my hearty wishes for its abundant success as it issues from your press on its noble mission.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Diary: North and South A Book which needs apologies ought never to have been written. This is a canon of criticism so universally accepted, that authors have abstained of late days from attempting to disarm hostility by confessions of weakness, and are almost afraid to say a prefatory word to the gentle reader. It is not to plead in mitigation of punishment or make an appeal ad misericordiam, I break through the ordinary practice, but by way of introduction and explanation to those who may read these volumes, I may remark that they consist for the most part of extracts from the diaries and note-books which I assiduously kept whilst I was in the United States, as records of the events and impressions of the hour.

Download or read book North and South written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from North and South: From the New York Courier and Enquirer To The Hon. George P. Marsh: Allow me sir, in addressing you thus publicly, to refer briefly to the circumstances to which I owe the honor of your personal acquaintance. In your Speech delivered in the House of Representatives, at Washington, on the Texas question, as published in the National Intelligencer newspaper of the 15th of February, 1845, I read as follows: "But in regard to this change of ignorance and passion, I will, in all seriousness suggest to southern gentlemen a measure, which I honestly believe would do much, very much, towards dispelling those clouds of ignorance, and calming whatever exists of feverish passion. Let candid and intelligent men from the slaveholding States visit the North, and call meetings of all political parties to hear this subject discussed. I confidently predict that the most zealous advocate, even of slavery itself, who should address the people of the North on this subject in decent and respectful language, would, not only be attentively listened to, but civilly and even kindly treated. Instead of being lynched, as any of the supporters of the right of petition would be at the South, he would be feasted and caressed; and fanatics, incendiaries as we are, there is not on this floor a Northern gentleman who would not shed the last drop of his blood in defending a Southerner against any who should assail him for maintaining the rights and interests of his own State, in such language as becomes a freeman and a gentleman." The patriotism which is here expressed, excited my warm admiration. I sought to know personally the statesman, who from the high places of the nation expressed himself thus; - I have that honor. You and I, sir, are not alone in the wish that the people of these two great sections of our country, the North and the South, might understand, and know, and appreciate each other better than they now do. How this "consummation devoutly to be wished" may be attained, is an important question. I seek to show why Southern politicians cannot address Northern audiences on the subject of slavery. Diversity in character and circumstances constitutes an insuperable obstacle. I must needs enter into some partial analysis of society as it exists both in the North and in the South, in order to evince the truth of my proposition. The people of the North, and of the South, have been extremely diverse from their beginning hitherto. It will be sufficiently accurate to answer all present purposes, to regard the Plymouth (Mass.) and the Jamestown (Vir.) colonies, as the germ of Northern and Southern civilization; for to these, in point of character, those colonies which settled in the neighbourhood of each, sufficiently conform. Quite a different people were our Puritan fathers, from those who constituted the germ of the Ancient Dominion, and the adjacent Slates. Had they been alike, the diversity of climate and condition, in their domineering influence over man, had, ere this, made them essentially different. Montesquieu, in his "Spirit of Laws" informs us, that the people of such a climate as New England, will be moral, great lovers of liberty, - incapable of being made slaves. He tells us also, that, under the heat of the torrid zone, it happens that the inhabitants prefer to be slaves, rather than "endure the insupportable fatigue of thought" necessary to self conduct.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North and the South That, in the outset, the tendencies of the nation were towards abolition, is most true. Equally true is it that for the last thirty years they have been in the opposite direction, and, in so asserting, the Courier is sustained by facts. With difficulty the territory north and west of Missouri was secured to the free States as their share of the Louisiana purchase. Since then, Florida has been purchased by the Union for the South, and Texas has been purchased by the Union for the South. At the cost of an expensive war, made by the South, and for Southern objects, a portion of the Mexican territory has been added to the Union, and nothing but squatter sovereignty secured any part of it to the occupation of Northern men. Cuba is now to be purchased, at the cost of a hundred millions, for the South. The Gadsden treaty, at a cost of twenty millions, secures more territory for the South.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Grapes of Wrath: A Tale of North and South Cornelia Manners felt both the sweetness and hard ness of nature as she lingered in her dooryard, waiting for the morning mail. She was praying, although her blue eyes, shining and tense, were staring down the street. Her hopes, her fears, her love, were embodied in a petition individual, particular, supreme; for her husband was in the army of the Potomac, and her son at Bermuda Hundred with General Butler. The mail was due at eight, and it was already nine o'clock. Mrs. Manners stepped out on the sidewalk, shading her eyes with her long, delicate hand. The trees met overhead as far as a distant bend in the street; and the half-grown, translucent leaves cast a greenish-golden, shadowy brilliance between the arch above and the red dish loam underneath. A boy whom she had sent for the mail came running with a telegram. She watched him approach with a sigh of apprehension, and, when he handed her the yellow envelope, turned aside with the ever-present fear of a terrible catastrophe. A hot, choking sensation made her try to ease the narrow col lar pressing against her throat. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

If there be soul or slumbering spirit that's near Asleep in the noonday heat; That multitudinous beat Is the fall of the feet Of my legions of waters; that sigh Is the sweep, as I hurry by, Of my robes in their radiance clear. Hear! and these waters will sing, Melodiously marching By mountain and mead, For I am the Tweed And a message I bring. From the caverned womb of the earth I arise to my birth. From the clefts of the granite I come, Groping in darkness and dumb; Blindly I roam; Till I burst into being begun At the kiss of the winds and the sun In a bubbling laughter of mirth. And, when the moonbeam's flakes Fall where the silvery cloud breaks, And the pale evening there Lights the stars in her hair My spirit awakes.
