Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Melbourne House A Little girl was coming down a flight of stairs that led up from a great hall, slowly letting her feet pause on each stair, while the light touch of her hand on the rail guided her. The very thoughtful little face seemed to be intent on something out of the house; and when she reached the bottom, she still stood with her hand on the great baluster that rested on the marble there, and looked wistfully out of the open door. So the sunlight came in, and looked at her, - a little figure in a white frock and blue sash, with the hair out short all over a little round head, and a face not only just now full of some grave concern, but with habitually thoughtful eyes and a wise little mouth. She did not seem to see the sunlight which poured all over her, and lit up a wide, deep hall, floored with marble, and opening at the other end on trees and flowers, which shewed the sunlight busy there too. The child lingered wistfully, then crossed the hall, and went into a matted, breezy, elegant room, where a lady lay luxuriously on a couch, playing with a book and a leaf-cutter. She could not be busy with anything in that attitude. Nearly all that was to be seen was a flow of lavender silk flounces, a rich slipper at rest on a cushion, and a dainty little cap with roses on a head too much at ease to rest.

Download or read book My Home in Tasmania Or Nine Years in Australia Classic Reprint written by Mrs. Charles Meredith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-20 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Home in Tasmania, or Nine Years in Australia That the author-ass of the following Narrative has succeeded in producing a work of great literary merit, is well authenticated by the unmixed mood of approval vouchsafed by the whole body of British critics, from the lengthy review in the mighty Quarterly, to the passing notice or brief compliment of the provincial paper. This fact in itself would be sufficient to warrant its republication here; but when we take into account the very general and absfirbing interest which has been lately awakened in regard to the country of which we have in this volume such graphic pictures, we think we are conferring a benefit in thus presenting it to the American reader.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Catalogue of the Melbourne: Public Library for 1861 - "There studious let me sit, And hold high converse with the Mighty Dead, Sages of antient time, as Gods rever'd, As Gods beneficent, who blest mankind With arts, with arms, and humaniz'd world." Thomson's "Winter." The establishment of a Public Library in Victoria, supported by the State, and stamped with the characteristics of a National Institution, was made the subject of curly consideration by our first governor, Mr. Latrobe. Fully impressed with the importance of. the influence likely to arise from voluntary adult mental improvement, as well as of the intellectual and moral elevation to be created by a cultivation of the works of standard authors, he placed upon the Estimates of the year 1853, a sum of three thousand pounds ( 3,000) for the purchase of books, and ten thousand pounds ( 10,000) towards the erection of a suitable building to contain them. These sums were cheerfully voted by Parliament; and, recognising and approving the liberality of sentiment which originated the design, two further sums, equal in amount, were in the ensuing year generously provided for the like purposes.

Ireland has furnished two-thirds more immigrants than she should, and of those she has furnished, two-thirds cannot read and write.

Download or read book Lord Melbourne s Papers Classic Reprint written by William Lamb Melbourne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lord Melbourne's Papers One of Lord Melbourne's characteristics, which I must not pass over, was his insatiable love of reading, and the vast store of knowledge which he had collected. His life was particularly fortunate in enabling him to do this. His sound classical education and close ao quaintance with the ancients he possessed in common with most of the eminent men of his generation. But men who rise to eminence have in general, after they attain manhood, very little time even to keep up what they have already acquired, much less to read deeply in new directions. Lord Melbourne did not enter upon any real or absorbing business till he was nearly fifty years old, and though he undoubtedly suffered in some respects from want of those habits of method and punc tuality which early apprenticeship to business can alone give, he was enabled by the same cause to collect to gether an almost unprecedented amount of learning on almost every subject. The same circumstances, the fact of his having been for many years what is com monly called a man of leisure, gave him the practice and the power of continually drawing upon his vast stores for the entertainment of others in the simplest and most natural manner. He was a man saturated with information, which was continually bubbling over in an original and sometimes fantastic form.

Download or read book Observations Upon the Natural History of Epidemic Diarrhoea written by O. H. Peters and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations Upon the Natural History of Epidemic Diarrhoea The causative agencies from which springs the plentiful harvest of child mortality in large cities may be conceived as a felted mass of rootlets almost inextricably intertwined. Those of poverty, bad housing, bad feeding, and neglect, may be severally recognized, but the extent of their interrelations with actual respiratory and alimentary disease - those to which the greater part of the mortality is referred - can be traced only with difficulty. It is the object Of this work to aid ln the labour of cutting away the matrix and entangling fibres and to lay bare the hidden ramifications of at least one important causative agency - epidemic diarrhoea. This affection - if we accept provisionally the more novel and generally favoured conception. As to its nature - is revealed as something very like an ordinary infectious disease, and one which permeates all classes, while the excessive mortality it gathers round itself in urban centres must be regarded as something superadded, owing to the vicious circle it forms with those baneful conditions of slum life mentioned above. On the other hand, its peculiarly intimate association with the circum stances of domestic life, from the continual faecal pollution of the interior of the household by infants and others, tends to make it more so than other affections of the kind peculiarly a class disease, and an especial scourge of dirty neighbourhoods. Dirty towns may however be saved from excessive mortality by a high percentage of breast feeding. A notable point in the interesting comparison that can be drawn between diarrhoea and typhoid fever is that, in accordance with their peculiarly opposite age-incidence curves, the marked and habitual depositing of infectious excreta within the household in the former disease may make the question of water-closet versus conservancy pan a matter of far less importance than in the latter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Australian Ramble: Or a Summer in Australia At home sending out a representative to Australia, and so carefully planning his route that he was to preach at Adelaide on the Sunday morning, and at Melbourne, some hundreds of miles away, in the after noon, and that was before they had a railway. There are many who still think that a colony is a place where men are fortunate, as a late colonial governor remarked, if they enjoy three meals a day and a place to sleep in, where the inhabitants sit down to dinner in their shirt-sleeves, and think it a hardship if they take off their boots when they go to bed. But the greatest fallacy of all is the supposition that in a colony anyone can get a living, no matter how ih competent he may have proved himself at home. We laugh, but are we much wiser now? In Fleet Street last week, as I bade good-bye to a friend, he said to me, I have a boy who will be coming home just as you land. I sent him out with the best introductions. He has been six months in Melbourne and Sydney and elsewhere, and can find nothing to do, and now I have to get him home again.' It will be something if, in the course of my letters, and as the result of my inquiries, I Shall be able to save fathers and mothers at home the trouble and expense and pain of such fruitless ventures, and it will be better still if I can help men and women at home to understand and.
