Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketch-Book of the North Still and soft with the mild radiance of early spring the afternoon sunshine sleeps upon the rich country, moor and woodland and meadow, that stretches away southward towards the Border. The top of a ruined tower far off rises grey amid the shadowy woods, and a river, like a shining serpent, gleams in blue windings through the russet valley-land, while the smoke of an ancient Border town hangs in the distance, like an amber haze, above the side of its narrow strath. Northward, too, league upon league, sweep the rich pasture-lands of another river valley. The red roofs of more than one peaceful hamlet glow warm there among the bowering road-avenues of ancient trees. And afar at the foot of the purple mountain to the west lies the grey sequestered abbey of the Bruce. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketch: Of the North-West of America When writing "Vingt Annees de Missions," we were aware how imperfect the work was, and that, to render it interesting, there were wanting, amongst other things, explanations touching the character and history of the country which had been the theatre of the missionary labors we described. We did, indeed, promise to supply explanatory notes on these points, but frequent long journeys and other business prevented our then carrying out the intention to which we now apply ourselves. Neither the church nor geographical division of the country supplying us with a single name by which to designate it, we shall adopt its commercial title, that is to say the name by which that part of British America is known in the great mercantile organization of the Honorable Hudson's Bay Company. "The Northern Department" includes all that will be treated of in this sketch. This vast country is bounded to the south by the United States, or the 49th parallel of latitude, to the west by the Rocky Mountains, to the north by the Arctic Sea, to the east by the straits and gulfs which connect Baffin's Bay with Hudson's Bay, 2ndly by Hudson's Bay itself, (not including James's Bay), 3rdly by a line connecting Cape Henrietta with the 40th parallel of latitude, following the watershed between Hudson's Bay, properly so called, and James's Bay with Lake Superior, or, for simplicity's sake, let us consider 90 W. long, as the eastern boundary. The continental portion of this vast Department includes, then, the country between 49 and 70 N. lat. In the south it stretches from 90 to 115 W. long., and in the north from 90 to 140 W. long.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sketch-Book, Vol. 2 He has commonly a broad, full face, curi ously mottled with red, as if the blood had been forced by hard feeding into every vessel of the skin he is swelled into jolly dimensions by frequent potations of malt liquors, and his bulk is still further increased by a multiplicity of coats, in which he is buried like a cauli flower, the upper one reaching to his heels. He wears a broad-brimmed, low-crowned hat a huge roll of colored handkerchief about his neck, knowingly knotted and tucked in at the bosom; and has in summer-time a large bou quet of flowers in his button-hole the present most probably, of some enamored country lass. His waistcoat is commonly Of some bright color, striped, and his small-clothes extend far below the knees, to meet a pair ofjockey-boots which reach about half way up his legs.

Download or read book Classic Sketchbook Cats written by Patricia J. Wynne and published by Rockport Publishers. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic Sketchbook: Cats shows how it's done by showing museum-quality works, then coaching you to try the techniques with the help an expert's suggestions. Whether scribbling out a quick sketch with minimal detail, or making a finished portrait where every silky hair and polished whisker stands out, the best cat artists can capture the very essence of feline-ness. How do they do it? Firsthand observation of cats will tell you a lot about the way they sit, yawn, tweak their tails, and curl up to sleep, but it won't tell you how to get those things down on paper. Classic Sketchbook: Cats is the second in a series of instructional books that began with Classic Sketchbook: Botanicals. The series shows how to draw your subjects by looking at the details of museum-quality works, then coaching you through the techniques with the help an expert's suggestions. In this case the expert is Patricia Wynne, a noted illustrator with a specialty in animals. Wynne will guide you through fur, paws, and eyes, as well as cats sleeping, playing, or pouncing. Her unique instructions places a close-up of a drawing or painting by a noted artist like Gauguin, Chardin, Gwen John, and Theodore Steinlen on the left side of the page. And on the right side of the page Patricia Wynne coaches you with detailed, step-by-step drawings, that illuminate the process.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Sketches: From the "Sketch Book" The residence Of people of fortune and refinement in the country has diffused a degree Of taste and elegance in rural economy, that descends to the lowest class. The very laborer, with his thatched cottage and narrow slip Of ground, attends to their embellishment, The trim hedge, the grass-plot before the door, the little flower-bed bordered with snug box, the wood bine trained up against the wall, and hanging its blossoms about the lattice, the pot Of flowers in the window, the holly, provi dently planted about the house, to cheat winter Of its dreariness, and to throw in a semblance Of green summer to cheer the fire side: all these bespeak the influence Of taste, flowing down from high sources, and pervading the lowest levels Of the pub lic mind. If ever Love, as poets sing, delights to visit a cot tage, it must be the cottage Of an English peasant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
