I am sorry for it. Independently of all questions of policy, as a mere matter of taste and of Old association, it was a fine thing to witness the hearty hospitality, and to think of the social happiness of a great farm house. No situation in life seemed so richly privileged; none had so much power for good and so little for evil; it seemed a place where pride could not live, and poverty could not enter. These thoughts pressed on my mind the other day, in passing the green sheltered lane, overhung with trees like an avenue, that leads to the great farm at M., where, ten or twelve years ago, I used to spend so many pleasant days. I could not help advancing a few paces up the lane, and then turn ing to lean over the gate, seemingly gazing on the rich undulating valley, crowned with woody hills, which, as I stood under that dark and shady arch.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of English Character, Vol. 1 of 2 This tedious uniformity of conventional life, which has converted society into a paper of pins with people stuck in rows, instead of minikins, is, we are told, the result Of a high state of civilization. The moment the English left off clipping their yew-trees and laying down their gravel walks at right angles, they transferred the system to society. Ye fallen avenues (so pathetically sung by Cowper, ) you have now your parallels at every dinner party; and not a coterie in Grosvenor Square but presents the stiff unmeaning rectangularity of Hampton Court Gardens.

This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from National Life and Character in the Mirror of Early English Literature The remote origin of this book was a Paper on the Influence of the School of York read before a society of which the writer was a member some six years ago. From this small beginning sprang the idea of a work on the Inner Life, Thought and Influence of the Early English Church, which came to nothing. The next stage, two years later, was a contemplated thesis on the development of the Anglo-Saxon conscience, but under the direction and advice of Mr A. J. Wyatt, M.A., this became The Development of the National Character and Social Life as reflected in Early English Literature. After the completion of this stage occasional intervals of leisure during the last two years have been given to preparation for publication, the present title being finally adopted. To Mr Wyatt the writer is greatly indebted for many excellent hints and searching criticism. Mr Wyatt has also most kindly read the proofs, and the book has greatly benefited by his assistance in the final revision. The writer's thanks are also due to the learned Master of Peterhouse, Dr A. W. Ward, who has suggested several improvements in the arrangement of the matter and other details. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crumbs Are Also Bread Six years have passed since my first small volume of essays and reviews was sent forth on its adventures. T 0 those readers who gave it a kindly welcome I extend my thanks. During the last five of those years we have faced some rather testing experiences. Nor have the clouds yet entirely lifted. The definitions of luxuries and necessities have somewhat changed. And yet it is a comforting thought that, in the trials which have beset mankind during what has been known as the great depression, people have not read fewer but more books and have turned to litera ture to find that it is one of the cheapest as well as one of the greatest, pleasures in life. I am not immodest enough to suggest that this present volume is literature spelt with a big L. But the old Danish proverb, chosen here for a title, tells us that crumbs are also bread and so. If any of the crumbs now gathered together afford the slightest nourishment to a reader here and there, I should be an ungrateful dog if I were not pleased. Many of the chapters in this book appeared in the Ottawa J ourhal and are reprinted here by the permission of the owners. Three of them saw the light in the pages of the Toronto Star Weekly, and are reproduced here with that paper's consent. Other chapters have not hitherto been published. The sketches of English Life and character were written five years ago, and many changes have taken place since that time. Yet, in the main, the pictures I then ventured to draw still hold good.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great English Masters However, it is true, that each epoch of history of any of the civilized nations, has seen a certain amount of art, but an art only, which was created by the art of the time the new art, which in universal history, alone can be considered. Each nation is limited in its character and in its creative powers. As soon as everybody, living in its midst, has brought out everything in his ability, something new must take the vacated place, something, which may possess peculiarities with new possibilities, with enough saved-up force, to realize them too. Other nationalities will perhaps follow, because this novel art will satisfy their longing, or because it lies so much in the line of that general developement, which, so mysteriously ties together mankind of a certain period. This principle may be expressed also in the Following manner: The demands of an era are felt irrespective of nationality, but one nation only is always predestined to fulfil these demands. The English nation was the predestined one in the eighteenth century. It was a period of universal revolutions, not simply changes, such as are demanded by each generation, but revolutions, demanding a new standard of humanity, the modern humanity and all forms of life and art, had to be revised from the beginning. The civilisation upon the Continent, presided over by France, was beautiful and rich, but sterile. A finish, such as was demanded by the future could be obtained only, from England.

Esq., With Notes: To Which Are Prefixed, Sketches of His Life, Character and Writings Although the Prize Prologue will at once shew itself to be considerably improved, yet that poem, even as now printed, did not satisfy him. And Mr. Paine was resolved on further improvements. He had sketched with great boldness and felicity. The characters of the principal writers for the English stage. Of these characters, when to each be had assigned his proper features. And imparted to all something of that enthusiasm. Which the mere thought of Shakespeare and his successors was seen to kindle in his own bosom. He had deter mined to form a gallery of portraits. It is to be lamented, that this determination was forgotten almost as soon as made. Some additions are interwoven with the Invention of Letters; and similar emendations were projected for many of his other poems. But his latter years were dark and cheerless and he seems never to hate summoned his porters to an attempt, which he was not unwilling to contemplate, as feasible only to a sound and active health.
