Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of Europe, Vol. 1 of 2 It is not a very difiicult task to make what is commonly called an amusing book of travels. Any one who will tell, with a reasonable de gree of graphic efl'ect, what he has seen, will not fail to' carry the reader with him; for the interest we all feel in personal adventure is, of itself, success. But it is much more diffi cult to give an honest and a discriminating summary of what one has seen. The mind so naturally turns to exceptions, that an observer has great need of self-distrust, of the powers of analysis, and, most of all, of a knowledge of the world, to be what the lawyers call a safe witness.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nationalities of Europe, Vol. 1 of 2 Of the Jews, again, important as they are, I have said nothing having not gone sufficiently into the details of their dispersion and diffusion. That there is a want of system in the manner in which the different details are treated is clear. One class is noticed on the strength of one characteristic, one on the strength of another. Upon the whole, this is a result of the subject-matter. To a great extent, however, the nature of the characteristics which are considered depends upon the writer's knowledge of them. In another respect there is a want of symmetry. The work partly represents the writer as an ethnologist, partly as a politician. It is, to some extent, a contribution to biological science; to some extent one to practical politics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expansion of Europe, Vol. 1 of 2: A History of the Foundations, of the Modern World IN presenting what is, in efiect, a new synthesis of modern history it seems necessary to define, as well as possible, the reasons for such an undertaking. These lie chiefly in the point of view from which such history is to be considered in the light of the demands of the present and the oncoming generation. It is obvious that we are in a stage of develop ment to which many of the older formulas do not apply, and that we are entering an era in which it seems necessary to take a wider if not a deeper View of the past and of the forces which have gone to the making of the modern world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of the European Nations, Vol. 1 of 2: 1870-1900 Now, it is true that these two forces have not led up to the last and crowning phase of human development, as their enthusiastic champions at one time asserted that they would; far from that, they are accountable, especially so the force of Nationality, for numerous defects in the life of the several peoples; and the national principle is at this very time producing great and needless friction in the deal ings of nations. Yet, granting all this, it still remains true that Democracy and Nationality have been the two chief formative influences in the political development of Europe during the nineteenth century.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Translations and Reprints From the Original Sources of European History, Vol. 1: Series for 1894 The period of the Renaissance and the Reformation, which began in England with the closing years of the fifteenth century, was a period of individualism, and gave a greater opportunity of influence to men of genius than any earlier period had furnished. The loosening of the bonds of custom in intellectual and ecclesiastical system, and in political and economic organization, gave to the opinions and actions of individual men far more significance than they could have had in the Middle Ages. While the great currents of change could nut, it is true, be diverted and from their course, yet particular direction and form were given to such change by the influence of men who possessed conspicuous abilities, occupied a powerful position, or represented strong forces. Four such men especially stand out as representative men of the early part of the sixteenth century, both as guides of its movements and types of its characteristics. Cardinal Wolsey was the great statesman, lull of schemes of control and reform in church and state, and of ambition for English influence in the councils of Europe. Sir Thomas More was the representative of the "new learning," the keen critical intellect and broadened interests and sympathies which were transforming the entire habits of thought of the nation. Latimer represented she earnest protestant spirit of moral reform and revolt against the old church system. Finally, I Henry VIII was not only the central figure and dominating force in England during the period of Ins long reign, not merely the occasion of the beginning of the English Retormation, but the type and precursor of that enthusiastic national spirit which was to reach its culmination in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. To give greater clearness to the personality of these four men is the object of the following selections from the abundant and picturesque contemporary records. I. Reports Of Venetian Ambassadors. I. A Description Of Cardinal Wolsey. Sebastian Giustmiani to the Senate, September 10th, 1519. Brown, Calendar of State Papers, Venetian, Vol. I, p. 560. The Cardinal of York is the same as he whom I have styled Orion, in a work composed by me. He is of low origin and has two brothers, one of whom holds an untitled benefice, and the oilier is pushing his fortune. He rules both the king and the entire kingdom. On my first arrival in England he used to say to me, "His majesty will do so and so." Subsequently, by degrees, he forgot himself, and commenced saying, "We shall do so and so." At this present he has readied such a pitch that he says, "I shall do so and so." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recollections of a Scientist, Volume 2 Expanding Horizons England and Europe (1948-1951) This illustrated book is the second volume of Memoirs of a distinguished, internationally renowned scientist, Professor Norman N. Greenwood, FRS. It takes up the story of his life from the first moment he arrived in England as a research student from Australia in September 1948. Term had not yet started in Cambridge so he spent a hectic first month visiting and getting to know the members of his parents' families who lived in London and Brighton. He also spent some time in the delightful countryside around Guildford and the Surrey Downs with a fellow passenger, following a shipboard romance during the long trip from Melbourne. He then visited the recently inaugurated Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell in Berkshire (where his former research supervisor was now a senior scientist in the chemistry division) and had the exciting experience of seeing Europe's first, recently commissioned nuclear reactor in operation. In Cambridge he took up residence in a set of rooms in Sidney Sussex College and began research discussions with Professor Harry Emeléus, FRS the most distinguished inorganic chemist in the UK at that time. The unique charms of the Cambridge Colleges and the arcane procedures of the University itself are affectionately described, and at various places throughout the book there are graphic representations of life in Cambridge in the late nineteen-forties. An early example is his description of the University's decision to allow, for the first time in its seven centuries of existence, women to be awarded substantive degrees (rather than merely titular ones). The first such degree to be conferred on a woman, in an appropriately grand ceremony, was on the enormously popular Queen Elizabeth, consort of King George VI (later known as The Queen Mother). At a more mundane level, post-war austerity necessitated the rationing of food and many other items at levels that were even more severe than those in operation during the war (WW2). The list given of a week's rations is a salutary reminder of those days. Norman is a past master at describing in accessible terms the research work that he was doing in the laboratory and its wider significance. He also gives perceptive descriptions of the international group of research chemists working in the laboratory at that time and of many members of staff. As earlier in Melbourne, he made the most of opportunities to attend lectures by famous visitors and distinguished members of the University in other departments of the University. There are memorable descriptions of a course of lectures given over two terms by Bertrand Russell on Philosophy, and numerous other lectures by Science Nobel Laureates. Vacations provided a wonderful opportunity to visit other places in England and Europe. Just before Christmas 1948 he went with the Oxford and Cambridge Ski Clubs to Sestriere in the Italian Alps, a splendid location for skiers of all abilities. Directly following this, and with virtually no money left, he spent a memorable Christmas and New Year on his own exploring the wonders and glories of Paris. And what wonders he describes. He had a room in the Latin (student) Quarter at 350 francs per night (i.e. 35p or £0.35) for bed and breakfast at the then exchange rate of £1 ~ 1000 francs. The next vacation, at Easter, was to southern Scandinavia to visit his sister, Margaret who had married a Swede in 1946 and was living on a small island in the Baltic Sea just off the coast near Karlskrona. [Volume 1 of these Recollections was dedicated to her on the occasion of her ninetieth birthday in 2012.] The journey was also memorable for a different reason for it was on the Flying Scot, en route to Newcastle upon Tyne to catch the ferry to Bergen in Norway, that he first met Kirsten Rydland whom he later married in 1951. [This Volume 2 is dedicated to her.] Norman was cl

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations in Europe, Vol. 1 of 2: Principally in France and Great Britain When I left home my thoughts were full of the East, and I confess it was my design to inflict a book of travels in that interesting region upon the patience of my friends in the Western world. In Egypt, Arabia, Palestine, Asia Minor, and even in Greece, I thought new material enough might be found to allow me to say something without going over topics already worn out. While in those countries, besides noticing the ordinary objects that excite the attention of the traveller, I made careful inquiry, so far as my opportunities allowed, into the state of the Greek and Armenian churches, and the condition of the Turkish Empire, now so intimately connected with the state of Christianity in the East. My letters suggested these topics to my friends at home, and they had reason to expect that I would treat them, on my return, more at length, and in a more permanent form.
