Book excerpt: Excerpt from Counterpoint Although, following the usual custom the whole note has been chosen as the notation for the canti fermi in all the examples illustrating this work, it is of course open to the student to use a note of any length. The notes employed in the second and third species of counterpoint (usually half notes and quar ter notes) will be regulated by the character of the note employed in the canto fermo, being respectively two and four notes to one. The notation of the fourth species is similar to the second, but syncopated. Counterpoint. Notes were formerly termed points. Adding a counterpoint signifies the setting one point or note against another. Counterpoint is of two kinds, simple and double. The latter of these terms, in its ordinary acceptation, comprises con vertible counterpoints in three, four, or more parts triple, quadruple, Simple counterpoint includes five species or orders, z'.e. Five methods of adding a counterpoint to a canto fermo. The term ﬂorid counterpoint is generally applied to the fifth Species.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Old Home and English Note-Books, Vol. 2 July 4th. - I left Leamington on Monday, shortly after twelve, having been accompanied to the railway station by U and J, whom I sent away before the train started. While I was waiting, a rattier gentlemanly, well-to-do, English-looking man sat down by me, and began to talk of the Crimea, of human affairs in general, of God and his Providence, of the coming troubles of the world, and of spiritualism, in a strange free way for an Englishman, or, indeed, for any man. It was easy to see that he was an enthusiast of some hue or other. He being bound for Birmingham and I for Rugby, we soon had to part; but he asked my name, and told me his own, which I did not much at tend to, and immediately forgot. [Here follows a long account of a visit to Lichfield and Uttoxeter, condensed in "Our Old Home."] July 6th. - The day after my arrival, by way of Lichfield and Uttoxeter, to Liverpool, the door of the Consulate opened, and in came the very sociable personage who accosted me at the railway station at Leamington.

I, wondered what they thought when they saw the fading letters of their own names upon the stones, whether they remembered themselves and wished they were alive again, or whether they were happier as they were. But that seemed a still sadder idea. One night, as I sat there watching, I felt a hand upon my shoulder. I was not frightened, because it was' a soft gentle hand that I well knew, so I merely laid my cheek against it.

I must confess it has been my lifelong ambition to write a book, and now that my story has been completed I feel as nervous as a young girl over her first proposal. I my little plot serves to interest you, perchance to help you pass a pleasant hour, then, dear reader, my mission has been performed. The writer has had many hints from his friends as to how a story should be written, but has declined any help, for he feels that, if any bright theme of a literary spirit lurks in his frame, it must be given to the world in a natural manner. But hark! Our little play is about to commence; and, in metaphor, let us list to the music, and up goes our curtain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pilgrim Songs for the Sunday Schools To induce a brighter and swinging motion, quarter-notes are used in preference to the usual half notes, so that a slow and dragging style may be avoided. Few marks of expression are used, but special care has been given in the adaptation of words to the music, so that positive sympathy may be established between them. Good music frequently needs repetition to be fully enjoyed, and this repetition may generally be taken as a test of its character. We never tire of the best melodies, and singers should not judge hastily of the excellence of any composition, for if really good it will not fail to become fixed in the memory. Melodies from the Great Masters are generally fragments, made up to fit the usual forms of metre found in tune books, and thus prepared they would hardly be recognized by the original com posers. In this book only those are introduced that are unmistakably in the original form, and those have been rejected that in the original form were associated with words or surroundings that would be an offence to religious feeling and good taste. The addition of sacred words does not change the real character of a melody written for other uses, and every thoughtful person will reject such adapta tions as are too often found in books designed for use in the Church or Sunday-school. The time has certainly come when everything inappropriate, trivial, or secular, should be banished from our church music. Good music is earnest and true, but it is by no means dull or lifeless. The heaviness too often experienced is not in the matter but in the manner, and the result of an indifferent manner is to make this part of the service distasteful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marginal Notes Macaulay's library contained many books, of no great intrinsic value in themselves, which are readable, from the first page to the last, for the sake of his manuscript notes inscribed in immense profusion down their margins. He was contented, when the humour took him, to amuse his solitary hours with such productions as Percival Stockdale's memoirs, and the six volumes of Miss Anna Seward's Letters. His running commentary on those trivial and pretentious authors was as the breaking of a butterfly beneath the impact of a cheerful steam - hammer. "Ingenious," (so Miss Seward wrote to a correspondent, ) "is your parallel between the elder and the modern Erasmus." "The modern Erasmus," said Macaulay, "is Darwin. That anybody should have thought of making a parallel between him and the elder Erasmus is odd indeed. They had nothing but the name in common. One might as well make a parallel between Caesar and Sir Caesar Hawkins." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “One of the most important books I’ve ever read—an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world.” – Bill Gates “Hans Rosling tells the story of ‘the secret silent miracle of human progress’ as only he can. But Factfulness does much more than that. It also explains why progress is so often secret and silent and teaches readers how to see it clearly.” —Melinda Gates "Factfulness by Hans Rosling, an outstanding international public health expert, is a hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases." - Former U.S. President Barack Obama Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends—what percentage of the world’s population live in poverty; why the world’s population is increasing; how many girls finish school—we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess teachers, journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers. In Factfulness, Professor of International Health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens. They reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective—from our tendency to divide the world into two camps (usually some version of us and them) to the way we consume media (where fear rules) to how we perceive progress (believing that most things are getting worse). Our problem is that we don’t know what we don’t know, and even our guesses are informed by unconscious and predictable biases. It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. That doesn’t mean there aren’t real concerns. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most. Inspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and moving stories, Factfulness is an urgent and essential book that will change the way you see the world and empower you to respond to the crises and opportunities of the future. --- “This book is my last battle in my life-long mission to fight devastating ignorance...Previously I armed myself with huge data sets, eye-opening software, an energetic learning style and a Swedish bayonet for sword-swallowing. It wasn’t enough. But I hope this book will be.” Hans Rosling, February 2017.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Private Note-Book, or Recollections of an Old Reporter The duties of the Reporter are easily defined. His chief care, if he belongs to the dismounted, is to collect full particulars of the striking incidents of the day, and to present them -in such a form as will en sure common insertion in the morning journals, and a sufficient pecuniary return to himself. This brief de scription of a class will suffice. The regular report has higher aims, for which he requires higher educational qualifications. His greatest value is, perhaps, centred in his ability to report the parliamentary debates in scholarly style, and with scrupulous accuracy? [i have gone through more than a quarter of a century of this life of hard, inadequately paid labour, and speak feel ingly on the subject. The very few prizes that the press Ofiers to its members, are not for the reporter, whether regular or dismounted, and when his cvertasked energies are exhausted by time or sickness - if all his re sources are confined to the press, his fate is lamentable indeed. I could write a painful chapter on this theme but this is not the medium through which'public sym pathy can be best enlisted.
