Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From the Cape The daughter of John and Sarah Austin ran every risk of growing up a blue-stocking. Yet she escaped every danger of the kind - the proximity of Bentham, her childish friendships with Henry Reeve and the Mills, and the formidable presence of the learned friends of both her parents - by the force of a triumphant naturalness and humour which remained with her to the end of her life. Although her schooling was in Germany and her sympathy with German character was remarkable, her own person ality was rather French in its grace and gaiety. It was characteristic of her, then, to defend as she did la vieille gaieté francaise against Heine on his death-bed. But the truth is that her sympathies were nearly perfect. She\was one of those rare characters that see the best in every nationality without aping cosmopolitanism, simply because they are content everywhere to be human. Con vention and prejudice vex them as little as pedantry can. Their clear eyes look out each morning on a fresh world, and their experiences are a perpetual school of sympathy and never the sad routine of disillusionment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Last Letters From Egypt: To Which Are Added Letters From the Cape It would not be easy to say how Lucie Austin acquired her correct and vigorous style and nice sense of language. It was hereditary rather than 1mplanted. But from her earliest years she was accustomed to hear the best of conversation; the Mills, the Grotes, the Bullers (charles and Arthur), the Carlyles, the Sterlings, Sydney Smith, Luttrell, Rogers, Jeremy Bentham, and Lord Jeffrey, were the most intimate friends of the family; and Toodie, as she was called, was a universal favourite. Once staying at a friend's house, and hearing their little girl rebuked for asking questions, she said, My mamma never says, I don't know, ' or, Don't ask questions.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from South Africa a Century Ago: Letters Written From the Cape of Good Hope (1797-1801) The sixteenth century saw the coming of the sailing-ship and the great voyages of discovery. The Catholic countries of Europe, Spain and Portugal, led the way; and in 1494 the "Pope's line" sought to divide between them the newly discovered regions. But such a division could not last. Other nations - England and Holland, then France - were determined to have their share of treasure and trade; and the failure of the Armada broke the naval power of Spain. By the eighteenth century the struggle for predominance at sea and in the new lands had narrowed down to the rivalry between England and France, the France which rose to preeminence and power under Louis XIV. By 1760 Britain was in control of India and North America; but the struggle between the two nations went on - with intervals for recovery - for over fifty years. The decision inevitably determined the fate of South Africa as well; for the Cape was on the main sea-route to the East, and must fall a prize to the strongest power at sea. Holland became involved in the conflict, when she followed France in supporting the American colonists, during the War of Independence. Britain was hard pressed then; and the result was a French garrison at the Cape from 1781 to 1783, in which year peace was declared between the new "United States" and Britain. It is well known that about this time the burghers of the Cape were by no means happy under the rule of the Dutch East India Company. Poverty and distress were rife; and there was trouble in the East between the more distant Dutch settlers and the Natives. It was the period of the French Revolution, and the men of Swellendam and Graaff-Reinet decided to have little republics of their own. Even in Cape Town there was a republican party: they called themselves "Patrioten" in imitation of the "Patriot" party in Holland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Pastons of Norfolk left behind them an incomparable picture of life in fifteenth-century England in the earliest great collection of family letters in English."--BOOK JACKET. "The letters span three generations and most were written during the reigns of Henry VI, Edward IV, and Richard III, in a period of political turmoil, local anarchy and war abroad and at home. They reveal personal hopes and anxieties, and contain as well as business matters a wealth of information on leisure pursuits, education, and domestic life. The writers express themselves with a clarity and vigour that is remarkable at this early date, and the letters illustrate, as no other documents can, the state of the language in daily use immediately before and after the introduction of printing."--BOOK JACKET. "This modernized selection prepared from the original manuscripts is designed to present the full range of the Pastons' principal concerns."--BOOK JACKET.
