This book was released on 2018-04-29 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trotting Horse of America: How to Train and Drive Him; With Reminiscences of the Trotting Turf To suggestions that the public was eager for the book, and wanted it completed early, he commonly replied that he wanted it completed well. There was, he said, no more reason for hurrying out this, his only work, than there would be in his hurrying on the edu cation of a horse that he deemed certain to make a trotter. He was no believer in the forcing pro cess, and always contended that the book would be all the better for the extra time he had resolved to devote to it. Nothing could exceed his anxiety to avoid any thing that by misapplication might be mis chievous. He was eminently a man of clear, strong views, and of few, terse words. Many of the most valuable and well-tried conclusions of his genius and experience will be found set down in his literal words in a very few lines. I have never met with a man who was so quick and direct in coming at the kernel of a question, and who threw away the husk and shell so promptly as utterly worthless.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Years' Recollections, Vol. 2 of 3: Liberty and Personal, With Observation on Men and Things The triumphal arches were erecting to greet the entrance of the too noted Duchess de Berry, just married to the Duke. We stayed three or four days only in Paris. Returning, via Pontoise, we again dined off our former fare, with mixed company, including two or three British officers. We sat at table too long to think of proceeding, slept, and finding my friend would not move the next morning, I rode home alone. He had met an old Peninsular brother officer. In two days, my companion returned, riding his horse so hard in a burning August day, that it died in consequence. It was the last of four he had taken with him to Spain. Had the horse been mine, I should never have forgiven myself, for it was a noble animal. The crown and people of France, the creatures of revolutionary progress, stood high in the hopes and fears of Europe at that moment.

Download or read book Canadian Turf Recollections and Other Sketches Classic Reprint written by E. King Dodds and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canadian Turf Recollections and Other Sketches There are many good people who call horse racing a sinful amusement and say hard things about those who patronize it. There are also a large number of equally good people who see no harm in the Sport and heartily encourage it. I am not ashamed to own that I was one of the big crowd of sinners who attended the races on the town moor this afternoon. I am also not ashamed to own that I enthused over the splendid struggle be tween the three gallant thoroughbreds which fought out the finish in the Wilton Plate, and it was not surprising that deafening cheers rewarded such an exhibition of gameness. I know many good men also who will back their favorite horse, yet are in no way deserving of being stigmatized as gamblers for so indulging. Racing honestly conducted is a noble sport and many of the most celebrated names in our national history have been pillars of the turf. It is the favorite sport of our people and is likely long to remain so. The above words it was my privilege, when a mere boy, to hear fall from the lips of one who was then a central figure in the political history of Europe; a states man whose bold and fearless foreign policy had made him the idol of his countrymen. The speaker was Lord Palmerston, Premier of Great Britain, and the occasion, a county dinner at a race meeting in Wiltshire. No man in English public life ever understood his countrymen better than Lord Palmerston. Though an aristocrat by birth, he was eminently a man of the people. He was equally at home in the homes of the poor and in the palaces of the great. In a word, he was one of those outspoken, fearless public men whose actions were ever guided more by principle than by policy. What he said regarding the popularity of racing in England is also true of its status in this country, and I am proud of the fact that for forty years I published a newspaper devoted to Canadian turf interests, ever fighting for the right as I saw it. During those years much interesting sport was recorded and from my mem ory I have here served up some recollections of the most notable events.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sporting Sketches: Being Recollections and Reflections on a Variety of Subjects Connected With Sport Horses and Horsemen, Never Before Published When a man commences to write a book, sporting or otherwise, he ought to have an object in View. I have two objects in View. The first is to please a generous public who have encouraged me along the path I have chosen the second, to endeavour to show, however inadequately, that the sportsman in pursuit of his pleasures gets far more than he bargains for. The racing man may find his pleasures enhanced by the surroundings a bountiful Nature has provided. The angler has many pleasures apart from his sport. The sportsman, out for a quiet week's shooting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Gladiateur to Persimmon: Turf Memories of Thirty Years To cover the ground thoroughly between 1865 and 1896 would necessitate the production of about half-a-dozen volumes the size of this one, and I have thought it wiser to give as complete histories as possible of a few great horses, rather than to produce hasty and unfinished sketches of three or four times the number. I have devoted myself almost exclusively to horses rather than to men. In the first place, I may frankly confess to regarding the former as infinitely the more inter esting of the two, and, in the second, it is possible to write perfectly freely and truthfully about them without any serious fear of giving offence. When one is dealing with men the case is altogether different. If they are still living, a plain and un varnished tale of the careers of some few of them would probably lead to libel actions, whilst I Should be reluctant indeed to write one word against any of those who have gone from us. De mortuis nil nisi bonum is a maxim in which I am a firm believer, though I do not interpret it to mean that, because a man is dead, it is necessary to write a fulsome eulogy of him, but rather that, where it is not possible to give honest praise, a discreet silence should be preserved.

Download or read book Three Little Horses written by Piet Worm and published by . This book was released on 2024-05-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time three little horses grazed together in a meadow full of lovely, thick grass. Wherever one went, the other two followed. One day they met an artist named Peter, who was so happy to have found them. "We shall have good times together, you'll see," he told the three little horses. First introduced in 1958, these dear characters were Piet Worm's neighbors. The three little horses played all day long in a meadow near his house. Watching them and learning to know and love them sparked the idea for this book.
Download or read book Memories of the Classical Underworld in Irish and Caribbean Literature written by Madeleine Scherer and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical Memories is an intervention into the field of adaptation studies, taking the example of classical reception to show that adaptation is a process that can be driven by and produce intertextual memories. I see ‘classical memories’ as a memory-driven type of adaptation that draws on and reproduces schematic and otherwise de-contextualised conceptions of antiquity and its cultural ‘exports’ in, broadly speaking, the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. These memory-driven adaptations differ, often in significant ways, from more traditional adaptations that seek to either continue or deconstruct a long-running tradition that can be traced back to antiquity as well as its canonical points of reception in later ages. When investigating such a popular and widespread set of narratives, characters, and images like those that remain of Graeco-Roman antiquity, terms like ‘adaptation’ and ‘reception’ could and should be nuanced further to allow us to understand the complex interactions between modern works and classical antiquity in more detail, particularly when it pertains to postcolonial or post-digital classical reception. In Classical Memories, I propose that understanding certain types of adaptations as intertextual memories allows us to do just that.
