Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chambers's Miscellany of Useful and Entertaining Tracts, Vol. 1 At this period of his youth, as well as in more advanced years, the subject of our memoir gave many tokens of a benevolent and noble disposition, sacrificing on many occasions his pocket-mone to relieve distress, and exertin himself to succour the oppresse Speaking of his progress an character under her tuition, the Countess de Genlis observes: The Duke of Chartres has greatly improved in disposition during the past year; he was born with good inclinations, and is now become intelligent and virtuous. Possessing none of the frivolities of the age, he disdains the puerilities which occupy the thoughts of so many young men of rank - such as fashions, dress, trinkets, follies of all kinds, and the desire for novelties. He has no passion for money; he is disinterested; despises glare; and is consequently truly noble. Finally, he has' an excellent heart, which is common to his brothers and sister, and which, joined to reflection, is capable of producing all other good qualities.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chambers's Miscellany of Useful and Entertaining Tracts, Vol. 9 By his grandfather's directions the young prince was removed to the castle' of Coarasse, situated among rocks and mountains, that he might be brought up in the same hardy manner as the children of the peasants of Bearn. He was accustomed to run bare-headed and bare-footed among the hills, to climb up and down the rocks, to wrestle and run with the boys of his own age, and to live on the common fare of the peasants - brown bread, beef, cheese, and garlic - Asuch being his, grandfather's notion of the proper physical education for a prince who had to reconquer the kingdom of his ancestors. Before Henry was two years Old, however, his grandfather died, and Antony de Bourbon, in the right of his wife, Jeanne d'albret, succeeded to the.; title of king of Navarre.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chambers's Miscellany of Useful and Entertaining Tracts: Vols. 19-20 Thompson was well received by General Gage and the o icers Of the British army; and his intercourse with them, while it probably gave him a stronger bias towards the side of the mother country than he had yet exhibited, did not contribute to remove the bad opinion his countrymen had formed of his patriotism. Having returned in the spring of 1775 to his native town Of Woburn, where he was joined by his wife and daughter, he again ran the risk of being tarred and feathered. The mob surrounded the house where he resided early one morning, armed with guns and sticks, and but for the interference of his old friend Loammi Baldwin, who arrived at the spot in time to use his in uence with the crowd, serious consequences might have ensued.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chambers's Miscellany, Vol. 4: Of Instructive Entertaining Tracts This young king being incapable of ruling in his own person, his government in France was conducted by the Dukes of Bedford and Gloucester. These noblemen had a difficult part to act; for Charles, the Dauphin, or son of the late king of France, had a party in the state who favoured his preferable claims to the throne and, besides, the civil broils among the noblesse and peasantry kept everything unsettled. The English power, fortified by the Duke of Burgundy, was, however, supreme. All the towns and forts were garrisoned with English soldiers; and it is not unlikely that, with prudent management, and with a popular monarch, France would have irrevocably become a province of England. Such a misfortune for both countries was prevented in a most singular manner by the intrepidity Of a peasant-girl; and it is the story Of this girl that we now propose to tell, and we tell it to the shame of the English nation - the shame of bigotry - the shame of having cruelly maltreated an innocent and patriotic maiden.

Mr Herbert, it appears, had been offended with his daughter, and expressed a determination to bequeath all his property to his niece: but Nelson's noble mind scorned to profit by such a resolve: he unceasingly pleaded for the daughter, and at length succeeded in accomplishing a reconciliation between Mr Herbert and his child.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chambers's Miscellany of Useful and Entertaining Tracts, Vol. 15 Penn became a student of Lincoln's Inn, where he continued till 1666, when his father sent him over to Ireland to manage his pretty extensive estates in the county of Cork. In this com mission he conducted himself entirely to his father's satisfac tion, residing sometimes on the estates themselves, sometimes in Dublin, where he had the advantage of mixing in the society attending the court of the Duke of Ormond, lordalieutenant of Ireland, and his father's friend. While attending to his business in Ireland, however, a circumstance befell him, which might have induced his father to have acted differently, could he have fore seen it. Being accidentally one day in Cork, he - heard that Thomas Loe, the person whose preaching had so deeply affected him at Oxford, was to address a meeting of Quakers in that city. Penn could not think of losin the Opportunity of again seeing and hearing his old friend, an accordingly he entered the place where Loe was to preach. He took his seat, and had waited for a few minutes, when the preacher rose, and commenced his sermon with the following striking words There is a faith which overcometh the world; and there is a faith which is overcome b the world. The words, and the sermon which they introducedz seemed adapted to his own case. Had not his faith been one which had been overcome by the world? And was it not, there fore, a weak, poor, and useless thing? Such was the force of this reflection, strengthened as it was by intercourse with Lee, that he resolved from that day to devote himself to the service of religion, and to adhere to the sect whose principles he respected most. In short, from that time Penn became a pro fessed Quaker. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chambers's Miscellany of Instructive and Entertaining Tracts, Vol. 6 One of the most cruel wrongs Sophia had committed on her brother was that of keeping him in ignorance, and surrounding him, at the very age when character is formed, with every temptation to excess and dissipation. It cannot be supposed that he escaped the contamination Of such lures; but most truly has it been said, that 'his virtues were all his own, his vices those of his education and country.' He early evinced one quality of a great mind - the com prehension of his own ignorance, joined to the most ardent thirst for knowledge. His, too, was that faculty inseparable from the man born to be a great ruler - that quick and certain appreciation of the character and talents of others, which always enabled him to know the fit instrument with which to work out his plans. Thus, happening to dine one day at the house of the Danish minister, he was struck with the manners and conversation of the private secretary, at once perceiving the superiority of his mind. This was a youthful Genevese, named Lefort, who had been educated for a mercantile profession; but being of an adventurous disposition, and early displaying decided military talents, had enlisted as a volunteer, and served in the Low Countries. After encountering several dangers, and having a narrow escape of transportation to Siberia, though for what Offence we cannot discover, he found his way to Moscow, and obtained employment in the capacity we have mentioned.

Henry's studies under this master were of a kind suitable to his years and prospects. He wrote a translation, we are told, of the Commentaries of Caesar, and read with avidity the Liz/as of Plutarch, a book which is celebrated as having kindled the enthusiasm of many heroic minds.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chambers's Miscellany, Vol. 3: Of Instructive Entertaining Tracts One year before that divorce was carried into effect, the subject of this present memoir was born. It was in Paris, and at the palace of the Tuileries, that he was born; and it was at the palace of Fontainebleau, one of the most ancient and historical in France, that he was baptised on the loth of November 1810, by the names of Charles Louis Napoleon. Napoleon I. As his godfather, and Marie Louise, the then new empress, as his godmother, presented him at the font; and the ceremony was performed by Cardinal Fesch. The first of his three names seems soon by family consent to have been dropped; and it was therefore by the latter two names, now familiar to the whole world, that the prince, who was destined to play so remarkable a part in the world, was known in childhood. And here it may be observed that the greater part of that childhood, at least in its earliest phases, was passed in the country over which he was one day to be called to reign; for when King Louis abdicated his throne of Holland, Queen Hortense found herself free to return to her native France.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chambers's Miscellany of Instructive Entertaining Tracts, Vol. 8: New and Revised Edition While mourning his penniless condition, and the sufferings of his wife and family, he would vow to shun in future the intoxicating draught; and even go the length of inscribing his resolution in his pocket-book in the following words: 'O Lord, by thy assistance I will not enter into a public-house on this side of Easter.' Alas for all such resolutions! they vanished at the first temptation; and were all forgotten precisely at the time they ought to have been remembered. Repeated failures in his desire to do well, seem to have at last robbed him of all self-respect. He became a habitual sot, and the fate of his wife and children was such as is always endured where a drunkard is the head of a family. With a wailing infant on her knee, in a house without fire or any other comfort, sat the broken-hearted woman, endeavouring to amuse away the hunger of the children who hung about her. And when a morsel of food was procured, she suffered them, with a tear, to take her share amongst them. In the midst of such scenes - rags, misery, and almost famine - the subject of our memoir passed the first eight years of his existence. Although numbering the third in the family, he was somewhat larger and stronger in person than his seniors, but much less interesting in general appearance. Possessing no personal qualities to recommend him to the special affection of his parents, they gladly allowed him to visit and remain for some time with a couple of maiden aunts at Swithland, where, if he was not treated with marked consideration, he had at least the satisfaction of receiving what he prized more highly - a sufficiency of food. From these aunts he endured almost daily insults, being cuffed, kicked, and buffeted, besides being told of his ugliness; but all this only schooled him to a life of patient endurance, and invoked that spirit of self-dependence of which he afterwards gave so brilliant an example. Returning to the parental home, he underwent the old usage, which was a variety of suffering on what he had lately experienced. While leading this worse than dog-life, however, he had the good fortune - rare for the child of a habitual dram - drinker to be sent to school, where he learned to read, though at the expense of a vast amount of distress; for his teacher was a severe disciplinarian, and scrupled not to beat his head against the wall, to tear his hair, and commit other atrocities customary among schoolmasters in those and much later times. The result of his chastisements was an intense hatred of learning, which fortunately he outlived. Not so much because he was doing little good at school, but because his powers of labour came into demand to help the general earnings, be was recalled, and put to a regular employment. This was a step which had for some time engaged the serious attention of both father and mother. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
