It was here that I launched out in business for myself and I owe much to the pioneers who helped me to find myself. Sometimes I wish that I had spent fifty years here instead of five.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memories of Fifty Years As I have had to trust almost entirely to memory and the few letters I have kept, of which I have been allowed to publish some, there is doubtless much that has escaped my memory and been forgotten. But I trust my temerity may be pardoned by those who agree with me that, after fifty years' acquaintance with many of the world's most interesting people, even the humblest observer may remember something worth recalling.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Years' Recollections, Literary and Personal, With Observations on Men and Things, Vol. 1 of 3 Nature remains the same, whatever be the changes in shape of the foolscap man may wear. The site of my birth-place is on the side of a well-wooded creek. There the climate permits the myrtle and japonica to luxuriate in the soft and balmy air; while, at no great distance, an orange-tree has blossomed in an open garden for many years unsheltered. A sweetly sequestered church, of ancient construction, its burial-ground over shadowed by venerable trees, stands hard by, on the verge of an arm of the sea, the whole exhibiting a scene of tranquil beauty, so sweet that the dead seem to invite the stranger from the tumult of a distempered existence to an unwonted serenity of repose.

Download or read book Fifty Years' Recollections (Classic Reprint) written by Arthur Lincoln Faulkner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Years' Recollections Fayette City, or Cookstown, owing to the great predominance of Southern sympathizers residing there at that period, which marked the closing scenes of the great rebellion, was called Little Richmond. Loyal hearts were few. The terms Abolitionist and Lincoln ite were applied with hatred to the few loyal unionists who were brave enough to express their endorsement of the policies of the great emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, and the perpetuation of the union. About eight o'clock in the evening of the day above mentioned, a loyal, dyed-in-the-wool republican citizen met a life long friend on Main Street and proudly said to him, There is another abolitionist down at our house, but he arrived just one hour too late to vote for Lincoln. That loyal republican was my father, and the abolitionist referred to was myself. In honor of the event, and of the great man who was on that day elected for the second time as President of the United States, I was christened Arthur Abraham Lincoln Faulkner. In spite of the lengthy appellation, and the ills and accidents inci dent to life's early advancement, I grew into a curly haired child, my mother's joy, my father's pride and, being the youngest of ten chil dren, the household pet. That fact must not be regarded as intended in extenuation of any future follies or misdeeds which may become a part of this story, as I shall attempt to truthfully depict the most important occurrences in my life without regard to fear of criticism or hope of commendation.

We stayed three or four days only in Paris. Returning, via Pontoise, we again dined off our former fare, with mixed company, including two or three British officers. We sat at table too long to think of pro ceeding, slept, and finding my friend would not move the next morning, I rode home alone. He had met an old Peninsular brother Officer. In two days, my companion returned, riding his horse so hard in a burning August day, that it died in consequence. It was the last of four he had taken with him to Spain. Had the horse been mine, I should never have forgiven myself, for it was a noble animal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Friends Being Literary Recollections of Other Days My book of other Days, containing Chronicles and Memories of Actors, has been received by the public with gratifying favor, and that favor has impelled me to act on a suggestion, coming from several sources, that I should write a companion book, containing Chronicles and Memories of Authors. The result is this book of old Famnns. I was introduced into the companionship of authors early in life, having published my first book, - which led to acquaintance with some of them, - in 1854, and I have had friendly intercourse with many of them, extending over a period of more than fifty years. Some of my recollections of that intercourse are here expressed, with all the kind ness that is consistent with truth, and perhaps my readers will find a little pleasure in rambling with me along the grass-grown pathways of the Past, where the idols of my youthful enthusiasm and the comrades of my pen remain unchanged.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oxford Memories, Vol. 1 of 2: A Retrospect After Fifty Years The greater part of my Reminiscences have appeared in "London Society" (some of them at an interval of years), but they may claim to be presented in a more lasting form, with numerous additions which from time to time have recurred to my mind. If I speak of things before the present race of Oxonians were either born or thought of, human nature ever is the same. Aristotle in Greece and Horace in Rome, three centuries later, painted youth true to its characteristics in the present day. Men still commit "the oldest sins," though "in the newest kind of ways," and the "years of discretion" still arrive, the said discretion lagging painfully behind. I write of a season when the animal is fighting hard against the moral, and when as to the intellectual it is a light of a very flickering kind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Years' Recollections, Literary and Personal, Vol. 3 of 3: With Observations on Men and Things A publisher, Mr. Cochrane, then resident in Waterloo Place, spoke to me upon the subject of a new work, to be called The Metropolitan.' Would I undertake it and obtain Campbell as the editor? It was not pos sible to pay him as he had been paid before; he should have a moiety of the sum, and only send in a few verses when he pleased. The terms were agreed to; and we started'a work which gave good promise of success. Moore, who would not touch the New Monthly from its original sin, at once consented to contribute; and Montgomery, of Sheffield, to give his lectures. Mont gomery was a most amiable man, with no very fixed principles of a political nature. Several old literary friends joined us, and Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd, and Delta, of Blackwood's Magazine in other words, the lamented Mr. Moir, of Musselburgh. I had made a notice of his little History of Medicine, ' with which he was much pleased. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Recollections of My Youth (Classic Reprint) written by Ernest Renan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of My Youth This it is which has given birth to the six chapters which make up the present volume. The recollections of my childhood do not pretend to form a complete and continuous narrative. They are merely the images which arose before me and the reflections which suggested themselves to me while I was calling up a past fifty years old, written down in the order in which they came. Goethe selected as the title for his memoirs Truth and Poetry, thereby signifying that a man cannot write his own biography in the same way that he would that of any one else. What one says of oneself is always poetical. To fancy that the small details of one's own life are worth recording is to be guilty of very petty vanity. A man writes such things in order to transmit to others the theory of the universe which he carries within himself. The form of the present w'ork seemed to me a convenient one for expressing certain shades of thought which my previous writings did not convey. I had no desire to furnish information about myself for the future use of those who might wish to write essays or articles about me.

His mother, a sweet and gentle creature, was the daughter of a Lieutenant Harries Of the Navy. Her brother - In-law had a posi tion in the Navy Yard at Portsmouth, and Richard's greatest delight was to take his vacations with this uncle. Thus at an early age he became familiar with the war vessels stationed there and much of the routine of the Royal Navy; one of his uncles was also an Officer on the ship that conveyed Napoleon to St. Helena.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Years in Constantinople and Recollections of Robert College It has been my purpose to make it as far as pos sible a history of the College, but the picture of a college in Constantinople during these years could not be drawn without a background of incidents, personalities and events, such as would have no place in the story of a college in America. On the other hand, it did not seem wise to make the back ground more attractive than the picture, or even to set the latter in the frame of a detailed history of the Turkish Empire. The Introduction is a re view of the events of the last fifty years which have led to the recent revolution in Constantinople.

Book Synopsis The Book of Boston by : Edwin M. Bacon
Download or read book The Book of Boston written by Edwin M. Bacon and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Boston: Fifty Years' Recollections of the New England Metropolis The intent of this book is to tell the story of Fifty Years Of Boston, the story of the progress and development of the city in the last past half century and of the institutions and men identified with it, through a series of reminiscences rather than in the formal manner of the direct historical narrative. History and biography indeed are woven into the relation, but with lighter thread, though none the less accurate, than in the conventional web. The reminiscent method was adopted because as a resident of Boston for the most part of this eventful half century, as an active journalist from the early eighteen sixties, and a managing or a chief editor of Boston daily newspapers for considerable periods, the editor has seen Boston grow from the interesting but little historic city of fifty years back into the splendid metropolis of light and leading of today; and through his newspaper connections has come in touch directly or indirectly with leaders of the epoch reviewed, merchants, financiers, professional men, politicians, officials of city and state, the master minds of the community that "make the wheels go round." During this time he has seen the rise of many individuals and firms who have left their impress on trade, and commerce and industry; has seen great changes wrought in the physical and spiritual city; the development of great institutions, educational, learned, devoted to the arts and sciences, that have made Boston a treasure house for American scholars and students; and the initiation of public utilities of subsequent country-wide adoption. Although the story of the evolution of all the greater American cities is wonderful and worth the telling, yet certain developments in Boston within the period covered by this work are of particular moment, especially since it was the parent city of the telephone and of the electric subway; and since it was also the first American seaboard city to take advance steps in regard to the systematic development as a port. While this story might well have been told by any trained newspaper man, the editor feels himself particularly fortunate as the narrator in that it has been his personal privilege to come in direct contact with various leading citizens who have had the commanding influence in certain formative periods of the city's comparatively recent growth.
