Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of a Literary Life, Vol. 2 To find myself again in the society of Louis de Cormenin was a compensation for the regret I felt at having come to the end of my travels. He had gone to live in Venice in 1850 with Theophile Gautier during part of the time I had spent galloping over Syria and Ph nicia. They were both men of gentle, careless, dreamy mould, lovers of art, able to lose themselves in the contemplation of a strip of blue sky seen through the arched openings of a campanile, or to find their amusement in watching the pigeons of Saint Mark pick up grains of Indian corn upon the Square. Happiness for them was attainable among the pearly effects of Venetian scenes, before the warm-toned Titians and the spiritualized Virgins of John Bellini. They did not need very material delights, were satisfied with frutti di mare at a fishermen's inn, drank water from outdoor fountains, floated upon the Lido, where they could, "Dormir la tete a l'ombre et les pieds au soleil," wandered out into the night to watch the stars reflected in the Lagoon as they stood upon the Schiavoni, and slept through the morning hours after being out till daybreak. Their natures were alike in simplicity and in a certain singularity; they seemed formed for one another. Gautier's account of their journey to Italy is a chef-d' uvre. Who does not know his "Italia?" For four months they lived together free and happy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Literary Life The principal, and indeed besetting, dif ficulty against which I have had to struggle, has been the constant introduction, if not obtrusion, Of Self: I have been inevitably compelled to put that Self in the fore ground, as it were, Of every picture deli neated; but not, I trust, at the expense Of injuring the effect of the middle or back ground Of the composition. The reader will perhaps admit the impracticability of rendering the matter otherwise; but to con sole, Or to reconcile him, he may be assured that in most instances the middle or back ground will be found to be the most pic turesque or instructive portion Of the picture. To keep up the metaphor. Time, which Is Of so much use in mellowing the colours and blending the tints Of the pencil, seems to be not lessf'occa'sionally serviceable in harmonising the productlons of the pen.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Recollections, Vol. 1 of 2 As my work was intended to be devoted ex elusively to the mention of departed friends, and by-gone events, the laztdatory notice of living characters would appear to be what law yers emphatically call travelling out of the record, or, in common language, deviating from its purposed plan: I should not, therefore, have here introduced the following quotation from the Berkshire Chronicle, written I know not when, nor by whom, had I not considered it in the light of a tribute (rather than an eulogy) due, in the strictest justice, to the judicious zeal, well-directed energy, and extensive usefulness, of a distinguished prelate; who, after having, conferred many public and private blessings on a distant diocese, has, for the last five years, been pursuing the same pious, discreet, and exemplary conduct in that of Bath and Wells.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections, Personal and Literary His youth showed again how much more inborn tendency has to do with one's life than any exter nal forces, such as guardianship, means, and what we call education. The thrush takes to the bough, wheresoever hatched and ﬂedged. Many waters cannot quench genius, neither can the ﬂoods drown it. The story of Dickens's boyhood, as told by him self, is not more pathetic, nor is its outcome more beautiful, than the story of Richard Henry Stod dard's experiences, his orphanage, his few years' meagre schooling, his work as a boy in all sorts of shifting occupations, the attempt to make a learned blacksmith of him, his final apprenticeship to iron moulding, at which he worked on the East Side from his eighteenth to his twenty-first year. As Dr. Griswold put it, he began to mould his thoughts into the symmetry of verse while he moulded the molten metal into shapes of grace. Stoddard, how ever, afterward said that a knowledge of foundries was not one of the learned doctor's strong points.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Literary and Clerical Life, Vol. 1 of 2 I began these notes some years ago, before the pleasant rush of recent autobiographical literature had fairly set in. The work is somewhat auto biographical, but not a biography; I have gone as little as might be into merely personal details, which in my own case, except to a few, might prove extremely uninteresting, but have gathered up some of my impressions and experiences. Intending to make it a home work, I have excluded various chapters on foreign travel in various parts of France, Italy, Denmark, Germany, and Spain. I believe that any book that seeks honestly and fairly to set forth a personal experience may hope to have some measure of use and interest. One of my fair friends has informed me, in the dialect of the day, that I have hardly been. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
