Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of My Life, Vol. 1 of 3 A year has elapsed since the mournful tragedy of Queretaro closed the career of one of the most gifted, genial, and chivalrous of princes; of one who seemed destined, by his liberal and enlightened policy, to develop the wonderful resources of a great empire, and to advance the cause of civilisation over the world. This was not to be; betrayed by his trusted officer into the hands of his ruthless enemies, nothing but his blood would satisfy them, and Mexico will probably again fall into the same anarchy from Which she might have been rescued by Maximilian. The public will feel an additional interest from his sad fate in the following graphic account of the voyages and travels of this estimable prince. The work was not originally intended for publication, and only fifty copies were struck off at the Geheime Staatsdruckerei' (privy state printing-office) in Vienna.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of My Life, Vol. 3 of 3 This morning found us off the lofty, far-extending ridges of Teneriffe. Although the day was cloudy, the panorama that presented itself was very interesting, and new ln its features. Picturesquely did the long serrated ridge of the volcanic mountain display itself, with its sharp angular summit, its pointed Needles which, springing as it were from an extraneous nature, gazed up towards heaven from among the dark clouds, sometimes like the menacing finger of a giant, sometimes like the tower of a lofty ruin. Various deep rifts of volcanic origin extend down the heights, casting their deep shadows over the picture, even to the boiling sea. Between these, and ﬂowing gently down from the black peaks of rock to the ocean, are the layers of cold lava. Thousands of years ago they caused death now Victorious nature (as on the ridges of Vesuvius) pursues her upward course over the vanquished lava. That the volcano has long been silent one may see by the fresh turf which creeps over the red earth almost to the top of the highest summit; by the pine woods, which force a way for themselves among the picturesque masses of rock and finally by the numerous houses and hamlets which, scattered among fields of well-ordered husbandry, enliven the sombre scene in a cheerful manner far up thc height. The whole resembles the northern coast of Madeira: one finds the same red-coloured soil, the same turf growing on the mountains, the same dusky colouring in the masses of rock; only, in addition to these.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of My Life, Vol. 2 of 3 For the second time in the course of one year, and in high spirits, I entered Messina; again, as on a former occasion, a charming voyage was in store for me again, as before, a golden morning shone in Sicilian splen dour. But man is a strange and inconceivable creature, longing for new impressions, and these were not new, so I was not enthusiastic, for I had seen Spain. I was glad, however, to be able to run into Messina this time, and was pleasantly surprised to find in the middle of a well secured and closed harbour the celebrated Charlemagne, ' the first screw line-of - battle ship of France, which was a matter of great interest to us sailors. The harbour is not large, but is secured by piers and chieﬂy filled by coasters. The marine and commercial life is concentrated on the shore, and is so busy and loud that it is heard on entering the harbour as the noise of a waterfall; it annoyed our German phlegm by that nu meaning and wild contention and roaring which is a part of these perpetually noisy southerners. It was the fish-market, and a colossal swordfish, caught in the Faro, was exhibited for sale in a booth. Here was opportunity enough for quarrels, furious curses, ear-piercing cries, each trying to outcry the other, the favourite mode of wrestling amongst the Italians of to-day. Before suspecting any harm, one of our friends had his pocket picked of his handkerchief which gave occasion to much annoyance and amusement and was a caution for the future.

The same qualities are apparent throughout these manuscripts which distinguished the man in all his ways - kindliness and simplicity, an all-pervading love for Christ, and tender consideration towards his fellow-men. His object was not the establishment of a literary reputa tion, but to recall for his own profit, and to relate for the instruction of others, these simple recollections of a de voted life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of a Varied Life Mr. Howells once said to me: Every man's life is interesting - to himself. I suppose that is true, though in the cases of some men it seems a difficult thing to understand. At any rate it is not because of personal interest in my own life that I am writing this book. I was perfectly sincere in wanting to call these chapters The Auto biography of an Unimportant Man, but on reﬂection I remembered Franklin's wise saying that whenever he saw the phrase without vanity I may say, some peculiarly vain thing was sure to follow. I am seventy years old. My life has been one of unusually varied activity. It has covered half the period embraced in the republic's existence. It has afforded me opportunity to see and share that development of physical, intellectual, and moral life conditions, which has been perhaps the most marvelous recorded in the history of mankind.

They say our bare ﬂats, in Cambridgeshire, are neither picturesque nor beautiful. I cannot say for that - but I know no landscape has ever caught my eye like the long line of sunburnt, wiry grass, and the great, wide arch above, with all its shades of beautiful colour.

There were no ﬂowers, but only a shabby little evergreen in each of the mounds of soil, and the front of the house was festooned with ragged garlands of the tra veller's joy, a favourite creeper, as it seemed.

He thought that, as Dean Burgon said, while yet the man lived freshly in the memory of his friends, while his sayings were remembered, and his aspect and demeanor were easily recalled, then one who knew him well should commit to paper a living image of the man, should so exhibit him that later generations might feel that they had seen and known him.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Life, Vol. 1 of 2 The contents of these volumes have been written down directly from my dictation, over a period of several years, by my friend and wife, who wished me to tell her the story of my life. It was the desire of both of us that these details of my life should be accessible to our family and to our sincere and trusted friends; and we decided therefore, in order to provide against a possible destruction of the one manuscript, to have a small number of copies printed at our own expense. As the value of this autobiography consists in its unadorned veracity, which, under the circumstances, is its only justification, there fore my statements had to be accompanied by precise names and dates; hence there could be no question of their publication until some time after my death, should interest in them still survive in our descendants, and on that point I intend leaving directions in my will.
