The writers may have been quite unknown to us, they may have been laid in their graves long before we were born yet as we read their story - written, of course, without a thought of publication, only for one pair of eyes to read - they take vitality and flesh and blood, and become as human as ourselves. A singer of our own day has shown the strange irony of fate, that a fragile toy of chicken-skin and ivory should survive the wear of years, the dangers of several revolutions, and remain unblemished, while the beautiful, imperious hand that wielded it has long ago mouldered into dust.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of Celebrated Women, Vol. 1 of 2 That a female warrior, even inspired by enthusi astio love for her country, should perform deeds, of which the most celebrated generals of the age might have been proud, appears more like the fiction of the poet than a transaction in real life; yet such was the case with Joan of Arc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of Celebrated Women: By the Author of Peter Parley's Tales IT is an oft-quoted proposition of Rousseau, that the glory of woman lies in being unknown. If this be true, we shall deserve little credit for placing before the World these brief sketches of a few of the sex who have acquired celebrity among mankind. We are disposed to think, however, that the oracular Words of the Genevan philosopher - though they may coincide with the despotism of the lords of creation, who would arrogate, not merely the sceptre of power, but the trump of fame, entirely to them selves like most other oracles, are liable to many exceptions. It may indeed be true that the happiness of women is generally to be found in the quiet of the domestic circle 5 but that all, without distinction, should be confined to it, and that whenever one of the sex departs from it, she departs from her allotted sphere, is no more true than a similar prop osition would be of men. Elizabeth of England, though little to be esteemed as a woman, did as much credit to her sex as her father did to his 5 and while he enjoys the renow'n of having achieved the reformation in England, she is entitled to the, credit of having been not only his superior as a sovereign, but one of the greatest sovereigns that ever occupied a throne. J 0331 of Arc performed achievements for her country scarcely less than miraculous; and Hannah More afforded, by her pen, more efficient protection to the three kingdoms against the volcanic shock of the French revolution than the entire army and navy of Great Britain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Woman's Story, as Told by Twenty American Women: With Portraits, and Sketches of the Authors The woman's story as told by twenty American women is a composite picture of the representative fiction work of the female writers of the republic. It is one which depicts the types and characteristics of people who unitedly compose our young nation. The composite woman's picture is full of patriotic fire; of the fervor and faith of free institutions, and is distin guished by a zealous allegiance to the domestic quali ties of the people, which have found widest expression under our form of government. The difierences in population; the varieties of classes, and the broad distinctions in local coloring are vividly exhibited in the annals of American fiction, the largest contributors to which are women. The compilation represents the field of fiction, from the appearance of the first great American novel to the present day. Mrs. Stowe's sketch of New England life, which Opens the volume, was the forerunner of Uncle Tom's Cabin, and is as graphic 3 pen-picture of the phase of life it represents as was her famous novel of slavery. Miss Alcott's Transcendental Wild Oats is the truest delineation of the salient features of the Transcendental movement yet made, and is as striking in its faithfulness as is Mrs. Stowe's Uncle Lot.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Woman of the Century: Fourteen Hundred-Seventy Biographical Sketches Accompanied by Portraits of Leading American Women in All Walks of Life Abbatt, Miss Agnes Dean, artist, born in New York City. A3rd June. 1847. She still resides in her native city. Her paternal ancestors were English, and she is of French Huguenot descent on her mother's side. Her great-grandfather and his family came from England to this country in the latter part of the last century. They settled in what is now Pleasant Valley, Dutchess county, N. Y., where D. Abbart, the father of Agnes, was born. He passed his life in business in Poughkeepsie, Philadelphia and New York. Miss Abbatt's grandmother, Mrs. Dean, an English woman, was an art amateur of unusual talent and accomplishments. Of her children, nearly all possessed the talent for painting, but of all the descendants Agnes alone has adopted art as a profession. She showed in early childhood a marked talent for drawing. But it was not till 1873 that she took up the study of art as a profes sion. In that year she entered the Cooper Union art-school. She won a medal for a head of Ajax in the first year of her studies, and on the merit of that achievement she was admitted to the art school of the National Academy of Design in New York. So decided was her progress that, at the end of the first year in that institution her first full length drawing was one of those selected for exhi bitiou. As it was not her intention to become a figure-painter, she left the Academy and devoted herself to the study of landscape painting. That branch of art she studied for several years under R. Swain Gifl'ord, N. A, and james D. Smillie, N. A., constantly showing new powers and making rapid progress. At the same time she was gratify ing her tastes in another direction, and she won distinction as a water - colorist and also as a flower painter. Her first pictures, two panels of flowers, were shown in the exhibition of the Brooklyn Art Club in 1875, where they attracted much atten tion and found purchasers. Her next picture.

Download or read book Famous American Men and Women (Classic Reprint) written by Stanley Waterloo and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous American Men and Women There is an irresistible attraction in reading the lives of celebrated people which enchains the hearts of young and old alike. The study of individual character as represented by men and women whose names are graven on the imperishable tablets of Fame, is not only fascinating but instructive. Strange as it may seem we know less of living celebrities, who by thought and action are now molding the destiny of the nation, than we do of the immortal dead whose epitaphs are written in the sacred archives of history. This work is a record of noted Americans now living, and of the important events they have created. It contains the portraits of famous persons whose names are prominent in the annals of the times. Each portrait is reproduced from a recent photograph, and is accompanied by a biographical sketch obtained in nearly all cases by personal interview. The work is therefore of untold value as a text book of national character, an authentic account of modern progress and development, and the influence of master minds upon American history. Hon. Benjamin Harrison, Ex-President of the United States, has said: "If we would strengthen our country, we should cultivate a love for it in our hearts and in the hearts of our children and neighbors; and this love for civil institutions, for a land, for a flag, if they are worthy and great and have a glorious history, is widened and deepened by a fuller knowledge of them." Biography is not alone the history of individuals, it is the history of a Nation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
