Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Reminiscences If there be, as many would have us believe, an instinctive curiosity in the Republican mind in regard to royal and noble personages, their habits and course of life, this curiosity has been gratified of late by the publication of the "Greville Memoirs," with the choicest portions of which the readers of this series of little volumes are doubtless familiar. These famous "Memoirs" have not increased the respect of any reader towards royalty; on the contrary, they have lessened it amazingly, both here and in England. The divinity that doth hedge a king is vanished. Divine right is now seen to be a monstrous earthly wrong, and the High Mightinesses who claimed it, humbugs, if not worse. There is a hasty and unreasoning hatred of kingcraft and its belongings, of which the village Fourth of July oration, spouted in thundering tones by a blatant demagogue, is a good example; and there is a well considered and reasonable dislike of kingcraft and its abuses which is shared by thoughtful minds the world over. We flatter ourselves, perhaps, that it is only of late years that men have learned to measure kings by the common standards of humanity, but we are wrong. Many of the old English poets have done so in their stately tragedies and lyrics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men and Memories: Personal Reminiscences In presenting this volume to the public, it is but just to the memory of the author, as well as due to many of his friends, that a word of explanation should be given of its apparent desultoriness. The original plan of "Men and Memories" was laid out in 1891, and the first article written, at my own urgent insistence. Mr. Young's personal acquaintance with eminent men, his interesting experiences and reminiscences seemed too valuable to be lost; and after much persuasion, he began the series with the article upon "Lincoln." His original scheme included "Recollections of Charles Sumner," - "Wendell Phillips," - "James G. Blaine and his Times," - longer papers upon "Horace Greeley," - "The Cary Sisters" and "Tribune Days," - "Edwin Booth and the American Stage during the past 35 years." Together with "Reminiscences of 'English Friends, '" - among whom were "Robert Browning," - "Wilkie Collins," - "George Eliot," - "William Black," - "Miss Mu-lock" (Mrs. Craik), - and "Henry Irving and His Influence upon Acting." Mr. Young's original plan was never carried out. Many duties pressed, and while he was still making notes upon those who had passed on, other friends, near at hand, were falling from the ranks.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Reminiscences: 1840 1890; Including Some Not Hitherto Published of Lincoln and the War If the opinion of a large body of correspondents is reliable, the reading-public have derived some pleasure from my "Recollections of President Lincoln and his Administration." The chief attraction of that book must lie in its great central figure. If, as these correspondents claim, it has other merits, I think they are comprised in the fact that the subjects are personal, and each is treated separately in a chapter of no great length. It was also my purpose to describe persons and events without exaggeration or prejudice, just as they appeared to me at the time. The present volume is written in the same spirit and on the same plan. While it lacks the great central attraction of the "Recollections," I sincerely hope that each subject will be found to possess an interest or to point a moral which will justify its publication. I have an impression that truth is just as attractive in a book as it is in the ordinary transactions of life. If there is any false statement of fact herein, it has escaped my notice and has been unintentionally made. No chronological or other order of subjects has been attempted.

Book excerpt: The remarkable story of how one of America’s greatest military heroes became a literary legend. The former general in chief of the Union armies during the Civil War . . . the two-term president of the United States . . . the beloved ambassador of American goodwill around the globe . . . the respected New York financier—Ulysses S. Grant—was dying. The hardscrabble man who regularly smoked twenty cigars a day had developed terminal throat cancer. Thus began Grant’s final battle—a race against his own failing health to complete his personal memoirs in an attempt to secure his family’s financial security. But the project evolved into something far more: an effort to secure the very meaning of the Civil War itself and how it would be remembered. In this maelstrom of woe, Grant refused to surrender. Putting pen to paper, the hero of Appomattox embarked on his final campaign: an effort to write his memoirs before he died. The Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant would cement his place as not only one of America’s greatest heroes but also as one of its most sublime literary voices. Authors Chris Mackowski and Kristopher D. White have recounted Grant’s battlefield exploits as historians at Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park, and Mackowski, as an academic, has studied Grant’s literary career. Their familiarity with the former president as a general and as a writer bring Grant’s Last Battle to life with new insight, told with the engaging prose that has become the hallmark of the Emerging Civil War Series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the iconic photographer's expert and witty reminiscences of the personalities who inspired fashion's golden eras, and left an indelible mark on his own sense of taste and style. "The camera will never be invented that could capture or encompass all that he actually sees," Truman Capote once said of Cecil Beaton. Though known for his portraits, Beaton was as incisive a writer as he was a photographer. First published in 1954, The Glass of Fashion is a classic--an invaluable primer on the history and highlights of fashion from a man who was a chronicler of taste, and an intimate compendium of the people who inspired his legendary eye. Across eighteen chapters, complemented by more than 150 of his own line drawings, Beaton writes with great wit about the influence of luminaries such as Chanel, Balenciaga, and Dior, as well as relatively unknown muses like his Aunt Jessie, who gave him his first glimpse of "the grown-up world of fashion." It is both a treasury and a treasure.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stead, the Man: Personal Reminiscences No man ever lived a more strenuous life, or one more devoted to the welfare of his fellow-creatures, and this perhaps led him to a too great indifference to his 'own mundane interests. His heart and his purse were ever open to those who came to him in difficulties and distress, for counsel and relief. In this country of ours, probably impostors and blackmailers ourish under the aegis of the law more richly than in any other - and Stead was too gener ous, too open-hearted, too unsuspicious and too busy, to inquire closely into the circumstances of those who came to him for help. However, this one weak ness in him, if it can so be called, only redounds to the credit of a generous and unsuspicious heart. I venture to say that no one has ever been more fearless as to the so-called horrors of death, or more ready to meet it than W. T. Stead. It signified no thing to him but a phase, a step on that long upward path of evolution, which sooner or later we all must ascend till we reach that point where the secrets of nature and the mysteries of spirit-life will be made known to us, when we come into the presence of that great unknown Deity who, as Bacon wrote, alone hath no beginning.
