Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Achievement of France The series of articles on "The Achievement of France," published in the Times newspaper at the end of June 1915, are here reprinted in response to a number of suggestions from readers both in this country and in France. They have, indeed, a special claim on public attention. Nothing is of greater importance in a struggle conducted by Allies than that those who fight side by side in the same cause should understand and appreciate the work of each other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from France and the Alliances: The Struggle for the Balance of Power A Frenchman could not treat such a subject other wise than from a French point of view. But to try to understand one's adversaries is already to do them justice. With this spirit of justice I have endeavoured to inspire myself, yet not seeking to hide errors, which indeed do not fundamentally affect the whole of the French achievement. If Americans should see in this book, which has been written in good faith, fresh reasons for loving and esteeming France, then I shall have attained my object. The historic souvenirs which unite the two Republics have created imperishable ties between them. Being convinced that they may find in the study of the present time a positive justification for their old sympathies, I have striven to the best of my ability to make this justification clear, by telling, in the field of diplomatic action, the struggles of France for peace through the balance of power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America in France Upon our entry into the war, I became one of the band of reserve officers who might do special service while they envied the men of the training camps their youth. My duties allowed me a wide range of information and observation with our expedition ary force in France from its inception. Under the spell of our marvelous achievement, which is the greatest story any American has ever had to tell, I have written about it as I knew it through its phases of building, training, fighting and of unremitting effort until we had won the Saint Mihiel salient and broken the old German line in the Argonne battle. Readers of My Year of the Great War and My Second Year of the War will have between two covers, if they choose, my third and fourth years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historic Role of France Among the Nations: An Address Delivered at the University of Chicago, October 18, 1904 It seems to me very probable that those who invited a historian and a professor of history to address you today expected him to make history his theme. Not, perhaps, that I should choose a topic from my own special field of study, which is too technical, but rather one of those large subjects which historians, whatever the nature of their investigations, are not at liberty to ignore - such subjects being the final end and justification of all historical investigation. The philosophy of French history is surely a subject of this kind, for the ultimate object of all labor on the history of a nation is to determine that nation's present position and the direction in which it is moving.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of France, From the Earliest Period to the Present Time, Vol. 1: Illustrated With Portraits of All the Kings and Rulers of France From Pharamond to Louis Napoleon IT is not without reason, says Rollin, that History has always been considered as the light of ages, the depository of events, the flithful evidence of truth, the shame of prudence and good counsel, and the rule of conduct and manners. Confined without it to the bounds of the age and country wherein we live, and shut up Within the narrow circle of such branches of knowledge as are peen liar to us, and the limits of our own private reflections, we continue In a kind of infancy which leaves us strangers to the rest of the world, and profoundly ignorant of all that has preceded or even now surrounds us. What is the small number of years that make up the longest life, or what the extent of country which we are able to progress or travel over, but an imperceptible point in comparison of the vast regions of the universe, and the long series Of ages, which have succeeded one another since the creation of the world? And yet all we are capable of knowing must be limited to this imperceptible point, unless we call in the study of History to our assistance, which opens to us every age and every country-ukeeps up a correspondence betwixt us and the great men Of antiquity - sets all their actions, all their achievements, virtues, and faults before our eyes - and by the prudent reflections it either Presents, or gives us an opportunity of making, soon teaches us to be wise before our time, and in a manner far superior to all the lessons of the greatest masters. It is History Which fixes the seal of immortality upon actions truly great, and Sets a mark of infamy on vices which no after age can ever obliterate. It is by History that mistaken merit and oppressed Virtue appeal to the incorruptible tribunal of posterity, which renders them the justice their own age has sometimes refused2 preface.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cradle of New France: A Story of the City Founded by Champlain As the voyager ascends our great river for the first time and rounds the Point of Orleans, a scene opens out before him not easily to be forgotten. The noble Saint Lawrence suddenly widening its channel forms here a spacious basin, from the western side of which arises the majestic promontory of Quebec, crowned with monument, turret and spire; while higher still and dominating the whole, looms the grim fortress of Cape Diamond. On the southern shore stand out in bold relief, the heights of Levis; to the north, sloping towards the Laurentians, are rich pastures and woodlands, dotted with homesteads, and in the midst the ancient and picturesque village of Charlesbourg.

Download or read book Memorial Catalogue of the French and Dutch Loan Collection 1886 Classic Reprint written by Edinburgh International Exhibition and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorial Catalogue of the French and Dutch Loan Collection, 1886 What, indeed, is called Romanticism - the change, that is to say, in the material, the treatment, and the technical methods and ideals of art which was operated in the France of Charles x. And louis-philippe - was the outcome of a generation rich, in strenuous and potent individualities. The great emotions of the Republic and the Empire had induced such an efflorescence of temperament and genius as the world has not often seen. It were beside my purpose to speak of its impact upon war and politics and science; I have but to consider it in its relation to the arts. The fact is one that might easily be driven to death but I may begin by noting, that the inspiration of the time was wholly Napoleon's, and that it might be argued with some Show of reason, that Romanticism was as much a part of his legacy as the Code itself, or the memory of Austerlitz and Montmirail. It is at any rate certain that the period of his ascendancy was a time of intense and peculiar suffering, that it was also a time of enormous enterprise and achievement, and that it was under the pressure of these conditions that the men and women of the Romantic revival - cette grande generation de mille-huit-cent-trente, says Gautier, with honourable pride, qui marquera dans l'avenir, et dont on parlera comme d'une des epoques climateriques de l'esprit humain -were engendered and conceived. It is only the few who date from earlier days. Chateaubriand, le Sachem du Romantisme en France, its archetype in insincerity of sentiment and splendour of style, was born in 1768, three years before Walter Scott; Beranger.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paris in Its Splendour, Vol. 1 of 2 A capital is often described as the heart or brain of a country, and the metaphor in the case of Paris conveys more truth than such epigrams usually express. But Paris is also more emphatically than some other Euro pean capitals its countenance as well. Paris, like Lon don and Rome, is not only the political, commercial, social, and intellectual centre of France, but it is an epitome and reflection of the national life and an illus tration of the past history. In it, observes Mr. H. D. Trail], the genius and the temperament of the people Who built it and Who inhabit it are almost always re flected; it bears in many cases the indelible marks of their historic experiences and the unbroken chronicle of their growth; it is the enduring monument of their labours and achievements; here and there it may reveal to us, as by the lines of care on the faces of the aged, the sombre vestiges of their calamities and crimes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ashes of Achievement "The Lamp of our Youth will be utterly out; hut we shall subsist on the smell of it, And whatever we do, we shall fold our hands and suck our gums and think well of it. Yes, we shall be perfectly pleased with our work, and that it the perfectest Hell of it!" - The Old Men The road from Deniliquin, glimmers, gray and uninviting, across a changeless expanse of browned grass, like a soiled ribbon on a drab's hair. It narrows to a point miles ahead, with something like a promise of fulfilment, only to widen maliciously as you approach, to march endlessly on as before, dull and level, an exasperating highway. Like a crawling insect the doctor's buggy crept across the plain. Dr. Payne would have indignantly questioned the word "crept," for he would never use a horse that could not do its level ten miles, and indeed the term is but a comparative one, for any progress seemed almost imperceptible in that country of vast distances. The "clop-clop" of the horse was pleasantly muted in the dust, spirals of which slowly mounted into the still, hot air, and marked for miles the passage of the open buggy. Odo Kent, two days off the English boat, looked about him curiously. Inwardly he was wondering how his old school chum could stand this grim monotony.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Music of to-Day The untiring activities of M. G. Jean-aubry in fostering international amenities in literary, artistic, and musical circles have made his name familiar not only in France and England, but throughout Western Europe. The official mission with which he has recently been entrusted by the French Government is no more than a just recognition of a course of action upon which he had already been privately engaged for many years, and which he would doubtless have continued Without such recognition. Primarily his mission has been to spread the knowledge of French achievements in these spheres not only abroad but at home, for even Frenchmen were at first slow to realise the im portance of the rejuvenation that had taken place in all the arts during the concluding decades of the nineteenth century. But the same curiosity that led him to the study of recent French achievements was bound eventually to extend itself to correspond ing movements in other countries with which his missionary work had brought him into relations. He thus became a sympathetic student first of our poets and then of our musicians, and he is an enthusiastic advocate, not only of contemporary French com posers, but of those English, Spanish, and Italian composers whose works place them in the vanguard of present-day music. Thus it comes about that he. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Mastering the Art of French Cooking Volume 1 written by Julia Child and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2011-10-05 with total page 857 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The definitive cookbook on French cuisine for American readers: "What a cookbook should be: packed with sumptuous recipes, detailed instructions, and precise line drawings. Some of the instructions look daunting, but as Child herself says in the introduction, 'If you can read, you can cook.'" —Entertainment Weekly “I only wish that I had written it myself.” —James Beard Featuring 524 delicious recipes and over 100 instructive illustrations to guide readers every step of the way, Mastering the Art of French Cooking offers something for everyone, from seasoned experts to beginners who love good food and long to reproduce the savory delights of French cuisine. Julia Child, Simone Beck, and Louisette Bertholle break down the classic foods of France into a logical sequence of themes and variations rather than presenting an endless and diffuse catalogue of dishes—from historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas. Throughout, the focus is on key recipes that form the backbone of French cookery and lend themselves to an infinite number of elaborations—bound to increase anyone’s culinary repertoire. “Julia has slowly but surely altered our way of thinking about food. She has taken the fear out of the term ‘haute cuisine.’ She has increased gastronomic awareness a thousandfold by stressing the importance of good foundation and technique, and she has elevated our consciousness to the refined pleasures of dining." —Thomas Keller, The French Laundry
