Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Sea to Sea, Vol. 2: And Other Sketches, Letter of Travel Get that girl to give back your gig-lamps, and you will be able to see more clearly into the soul of the Far East. The Far East hasn't got a soul. She swapped it for a Constitution on the Eleventh of February last. Can any Constitution make up for the wear ing of Europe clothes? I saw a Jap lady just now in full afternoon calling-kit. She looked atrocious. Have you seen the later Japanese art - the pictures on the fans and in the shop win dows? They are faithful reproductions of the changed life - telegraph poles down the streets, conventionalised tram-lines, top-hats, and carpet bags in the hands of the men. The artists can make those things almost passable, but when it comes to conventionalising a Europe dress, the effect is horrible. Japan wishes to take her place among civilised nations, said the Professor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beyond the Sea-Rim Now one can travel extensively for little more than it costs to spend a few weeks at the coast during the summer vacation. A trip may be anything one chooses to make it -an item of social routine, an attempt to escape ennui, an outlet for surplus fortune. I write for those to whom travel means much more, the great number Who have more culture, perhaps, than money. To them it is an opportunity of getting the best return for a few hundred dollars that an intelligent and educated man could desire. Travellers Who must economise are generally those Who have a summer v professors, students, school teachers, ministers, and business men Who have earned a little freedom. They have, as a rule, the months of J uly and August at their disposal. They want to see the greatest foreign cities, famous cathedrals, the masterpieces of the world in painting, sculpture, and architecture, Splendid ruins, the landmarks of history, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Lounsbury James Fenimore Cooper by Mary E. Phillips James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851) was a prolific and popular American writer of the early 19th century. His historical romances of frontier and Indian life in the early American days created a unique form of American literature. Before embarking on his career as a writer, Cooper served in the U.S. Navy, which greatly influenced many of his novels. The novel that launched his career was The Spy, tale of espionage in Revolutionary War. He also wrote numerous sea stories, and his best-known works are five historical novels of the frontier period known as the Leatherstocking Tales. Among his most famous works is the Romantic novel The Last of the Mohicans.
Download or read book Beyond the Black Ocean Classic Reprint written by Thomas McGrady and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beyond the Black Ocean Father McGrady was born in Lexington, Ky., on June 6, 1863. Having completed his course of studies, he was ordained in the Cathedral of Galveston, Texas, in 1887. During the first six months of his ministry he was connected with the Cathedral in Galveston. In the early part of the following year he was assigned to the pastorate of St. Patrick's Church, Houston, and later on he was assigned to St. Patrick's Church in Dallas, Texas. In 1890 he returned to his native State and assumed temporary charge of the Catholic congregation in Lexington. His next pastorate was Cynthiana, Ky., where he labored for four years, and in the summer of 1895 he was appointed pastor of St. Anthony's Church, Bellevue, Ky., and he still holds this position. The poverty of the masses, which increases with the march of civilization, had early made a deep impression on his mind, and in 1896 he began to study economics, but unfortunately for his purpose he perused the works of the old school, which attributed the economic ills of the age to the inevitable law of competition. His perplexity was partially relieved by reading "Merrie England." However, about this time he began to peruse the works of Henry George, and he then thought that the Single Tax was the panacea for the evils of modern society. Pursuing his studies in Socialism, he began to see that the arguments advanced by Henry George for the common ownership of land, applied with grave force to all the means of production; that all the wealth in the world and all the progress of the ages were products of social factors, and therefore the common property of society. He also perceived the futility of the Single Tax movement to heal the wounds which capitalism had inflicted on the toiling masses. Becoming thoroughly acquainted with the ablest exponents of Socialism, he became an ardent champion of the doctrine, and his voice has thrilled many vast audiences who have stood amazed at the bold denunciations he has hurled against the oppressors of mankind.

Food was served, prayers were read by the Admiral, who was as glib and ready at the business as if he had been trained for the Church rather than the quarter-deck, as, indeed, some said he was, and became apostate through unholy dealings with the Evil One. The watches were conned; the sails were loosed; the Windlass cleared to raise the anchor, when out of the fog, just opposite my post, there came a hail, which, before Ithought, I had answered with a challenge as if I were a sentinel on post rather than a sailor on duty under his officers eye. In much confusion I turned to report the hail to the Master, Juan de la Cosa, who had charge Of the watch and who stood near, over looking the work Of getting under way.
