Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays and Sketches of Character A short time convinced him of the error of his calculation, but did not alter his mode of life: he continued to employ a portion of his time in great bodily exercise, and devoted the remainder to an extensive though desultory reading. In his youth he had been rather a timid boy, and was supposed by his brothers somewhat deficient in constitutional courage; but as he advanced towards manhood, a moral courage had supplied this original defect; and during his residence on the coast he often voluntarily braved the dangers of the Sea in the most fearless manner: frequently he went out in boisterous weather on board one of the fishing boats, exposed of course to all the privations of his hardy companions, and often passed the night in alternately aiding them in their pursuits, and in contemplating the beautiful or awful scenes by which he was surrounded. Heat length purchased a boat sufficiently small to be managed by himself alone, and in this he passed the greatest part of his.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical and Other Sketches This collection of the more popular writings of Mr. Fronde is made in order to enable a large number of readers to obtain at small cost a good view of the merits and value of his works. His best known essays are, fur the most part, left out of this volume - for example, those on Calvinism, Progress, Education, and Ireland. The editor has also passed by in the selections those writings of Mr. Fronde which have been the subject of heated controversy. It is hoped that the sketches of travel, essays, and extracts from the gifted author's historical works here collected, will be found both entertaining and instructive. Believing that the reader will like to have some account of Mr. Fronde and his opinions, the editor has prepared the following sketch. His Education. James Anthony Fronde was born near Totness, Devon, England, April 23, 1818. His father was an old-fashioned High Church clergyman, and his brother, Richard Hurrell Fronde (fifteen years older than the historian) had already won distinction as a new-fashioned High Church clergyman when James Anthony entered Oriel College, Oxford, at the age of eighteen. The younger Froude was naturally thrown by his family connections and sympathies into the strong arms of the new reformers at Oxford.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Addresses and Lyrical Translations The mss., although not prepared for the press by the author, were so carefully written that they could be used, as they stood, for the present purpose. It was felt that no changes could be attempted except by the omission of certain portions to lighten the essay, or by slight verbal alterations, in accordance with the requirements of this volume. Even as regards omission, the presence of certain marks in the mss. Frequently allowed of this being done in accordance with his own ideas. The author had not included in his list the first paper in this volume - on Tennyson's In Memoriam. He had prepared in 1870 a somewhat elaborate series of notes as a Commentary on In Memoriam, and he had used these in various prelections. He intended at one time to publish this Commentary, but on the appearance of Dean Catty's volume he hesitated and postponed. The notes referred to seem of too detailed a character to be suitable for any but close students of the poem, and so they have not been included in this volume; his more popular essay, however, on the same subject, is here given. The Commentary may yet appear by itself if this is desired. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction by Mohsen Mostafavi The late Robin Evans (1944-1993) was a highly original historian of architecture whose writings covered a wide range of concerns: society's role in the evolution and development of building types, aspects of geometry, modes of projection, military architecture, representation of all kinds. No matter what the topic, however, he always drew on firsthand experience, arriving at his insights from direct observation. This book brings together eight of Evans's most significant essays. Written over a period of twenty years, from 1970, when he graduated from the Architectural Association, to 1990, they represent the diverse interests of an agile and skeptical mind. The book includes an introduction by Mohsen Mostafavi, a chronological account of the development of Evans's writing by Robin Middleton, and a bibliography by Richard Difford.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays of Schopenhauer: Translated When Schopenhauer was asked where he wished to be buried, he answered, Anywhere; they will find me; and the stone that marks his grave at Frankfort bears merely the inscription Arthur Schopenhauer, without even the date Of his birth or death. Schopenhauer, the pessimist, had a sufficiently Optimistic conviction that his message to the world would ultimately be listened to - a con viction that never failed him during a lifetime Of disappointments, of neglect in quarters where perhaps he would have most cherished appreciation; a con viction that only showed some signs of being justified a few years before his death. Schopenhauer was no opportunist; he was not even conciliatory; he never hesitated to declare his own faith in himself, in his principles, in his philosophy; he did not ask to be listened to as a matter of courtesy but as a right a right for which he would struggle, for which he fought, and which has in the course of time, it may be admitted, been conceded to him.

Download or read book Pamphlets and Sketches Classic Reprint written by Lord Lytton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pamphlets and Sketches The half-dozen pieces comprised in this volume are given for the most part in the chronological order in which they originally appeared. The Letter upon the Political Crisis of 1834 had an extraordinary success at the time of its first publication, enjoying, besides this, the repute of having considerably influenced the General Election, which immediately afterwards led to a change of government. How it was that the "Confessions of a Water-Patient" came to be written at all may be here explained. Mr. Harrison Ainsworth having, in 1845, purchased the New Monthly Magazine, applied to Sir Edward Lytton, with whom he had long been on terms of intimacy, and who had himself been a former editor of that periodical, to aid his new enterprise with a contribution. In compliance with this request, these Experiences of the Water Cure were jotted down in the form of a letter addressed to Mr. Ainsworth, as editor of the New Monthly. Grateful for so welcome a contribution, the romancist of "Rookwood" begged his brother author's acceptance of two antique suits of armour, which still adorn the banqueting-hall at Knebworth. As for the "Letters to John Bull," which appeared from the press in 1851, they were the vindication of the writer's views as an agriculturist and a politician, or, as he expressed it by his signature, as a landlord and a labourer - views consistently maintained by him during seventeen years consecutively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Essays and Monographs: Translations and Reprints From Various Sources The subject became still further complicated, when cavities in the cord were described, independent Of the central canal and not communicating with it. Simon* in a very interesting work, which appeared in 1875, had the Opportunity Of dealing with a number Of these cases; he was struck by the simultaneous occurrence of these intramedullary cavities with certain vascular tumours, to which he gave the name of telangiectatic gliomata; the cavity resulted, according to Simon, from the softening of these gliomata and absorption Of the degenerated tissue. In order to avoid the confusion to which the word hydromyelia gave rise, Simon proposed to reserve this term for the dilatation and distension Of the central canal by uid, and to apply the word syringomyelia to those cavities and cystic conditions which were independent Of the central canal. A work by Westphal arriving at the same conclusions as those Of Simon appeared at the same time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
