The Designed, Etched, and Drawn on Wood A few preparatory words on authorship - shewing that it is more advantageous to have Nature for a guide than trust to the imagination; and giving the preference to mix with society in general, than cogitating in the' closet, if characters and real life are to be truly depicted. Be it so z - Where shall we go above, or below bridge - The question at issue - difficult to decide both attractive to the echo. An invitation to turf's cottage puts an end to the argument. Makemoney's recollections of former days respecting the Banks of the Thames - Dress and manner of the people - nu immense change for the better. Millbank; to wit - An extraordinary character of the olden times - a thief and a honest man in the same person; completely illustrating Pope's maxim, that the proper study of mankind is man. Curious definition of chammgne, versus ale, by one of the Pilgrims - a matter of taste. Outlines of a Race course - a study, perhaps worthy of contemplating by persons who seek after pleasure. Flats and Sharps - Fools and Deep Ones - Peers and Tradesmen all in motion. Thimbles applied to avery different purpose from their original intention. The magical garter, and the gilded pill; or, how to twist an argu ment. A head without brains or, a sketch of a thoughtless fellow - a tale for inexperienced young men. The long wished-for anecdotes related by turf The match-girl; or a woman with the fine bust. A peep in the mirror wretchedness and beggary personified. The transformation What can't gold do!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Twickenham Tales, Vol. 1 of 2 ON the bank of the Thames at Twickenham, at the prettiest bend of anyin the river, stood, at the time to which this narrative refers, a large mansion, whose solid red brick front contrasted in a manner most satisfactory to the student of the aesthetic with the Silvery stream that flowed before it, and the dark masses of thick'foliage that waved behind it. An air of comfort and of opulence - not ostentatious, but therefore the more Substantial - seemed difiused from it over the whole landscape in its immediate neigh bourhood, and the stranger passing along the river might make sure that within its walls dwelt one of those to whom life is not as it is to so many thousands of our fellow-creatures - but one long care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Book Synopsis Button and Popper by : Oili Tanninen
Download or read book Button and Popper written by Oili Tanninen and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic reissue of a Finnish fairy tale first published in 1964 tells the story of twin pixie brothers who find their family a new home. Button and Popper tells the story of a family of pixies—mother, father, and twelve children—who live in an apple tree. They enjoy its warmth and shelter, eating apple pie all spring and summer long. But when fall comes, the leaves begin to drop and the apple tree becomes a cold and wet place to live. Twin brothers Button and Popper decide to find their family a new home, but when they trek into the city and start inquiring about an apartment with room for twelve children and their parents, people laugh in their faces or politely excuse themselves. Luck strikes when, through a most fortunate mix-up at the market, the pixies find themselves in the home of Professor Pilli. When he hears their story, he invites them to look after his house while he’s away at the South Pole. When the rest of their pixie family finds out the good news, everyone is relieved and happy again. First published in 1964, Button and Popper was written and illustrated by Oili Tanninen, one of Finland’s most celebrated illustrators and authors. Bold, on-trend, midcentury illustrations support this new translation of a classic Finnish story that’s quirky and charming in equal measure.

Book Synopsis The Great Journeys in History by : Robin Hanbury-Tenison
Download or read book The Great Journeys in History written by Robin Hanbury-Tenison and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marco Polo, Ferdinand Magellan, David Livingstone, Amelia Earhart, Neil Armstrong: these are some of the greatest travellers of all time. This book chronicles their stories and many more, describing epic voyages of discovery from the extraordinary migrations out of Africa by our earliest ancestors to the latest voyages into space. In antiquity, we follow Alexander the Great to the Indus and Hannibal across the Alps; in medieval times we trek beside Genghis Khan and Ibn Battuta. The Renaissance brought Columbus to the Americas and the circumnavigation of the world. The following centuries saw gaps in the global maps filled by Tasman, Bering and Cook, and journeys made for scientific purposes, most famously by von Humboldt and Darwin. In modern times, the last inhospitable ends of the earth were reached including both poles and the world's highest mountain and new elements were conquered. With evocative photographs, paintings and portraits, The Great Journeys in History reveals the stories of those who were there first, who explored the unexplored and who set out into the unknown, bringing alive the romance and thrill of travel.
Download or read book Thames Mudlarking written by Jason Sandy and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-18 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautifully illustrated introduction to mudlarking which tells the incredible, forgotten history of London through objects found on the foreshore of the River Thames. Often seen combing the shoreline of the River Thames at low tide, groups of archaeology enthusiasts known as 'mudlarks' continue a tradition that dates back to the eighteenth century. Over the years they have found a vast array of historical artefacts providing glimpses into the city's past. Objects lost or discarded centuries ago – from ancient river offerings such as the Battersea Shield and Waterloo Helmet, to seventeenth-century trade tokens and even medals for bravery – have been discovered in the river. This book explores a fascinating assortment of finds from prehistoric to modern times, which collectively tell the rich and illustrious story of London and its inhabitants - illustrated with and array of photographs taken of the items in situ in the mud and gravel of the Thames estuary, at the same time both gritty and glimmering.
