Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Old Home: A Series of English Sketches Such, in short, was the dusky and stiﬂed chamber in which I Spent wearily a considerable portion of more than four good years of my existence. At first, to be quite frank with the reader, I looked upon it as not altogether fit to be tenanted by the commercial representative of so great and prosperous a country as the United States then were; and I should speedily have transferred my head-quarters to airier and loftier apart ments, except for the prudent consideration that my Govern ment would have left me thus to support its dignity at my own personal expense. Besides, a long line of distinguished pre decessors, of whom the latest is now a gallant general under the Union banner, had found the locality good enough for them; it might certam be tolerated, therefore, by an individual so little ambitions of external magnificence as myself. So I settled quietly down, striking some of my roots into such soil as I could find, adapting myself to circumstances; and with so much success, that, though from first to last, I hated the very sight of the little room, I should yet have felt a singular kind of reluctance in changing it for a better.

After all, the old times were but step ping stones on the way toward the new times; and if Moorestown had remained what it was a hundred or even fifty years ago, our interest in it would have been but vague and remote. It is the Moorestown of to-day that we care most for. Therefore the town as it now is, and the process of its evolution have been dealt with to some extent and note has been made of the introduction of new elements and 'the growth of new inﬂuences which, working in connection with the old, have made Moorestown what it is - one of the most thriving as well as one of the most charming places of rural residence to be found within a long journey from Philadelphia.

Therefore he said to the Philosopher Tseng saying, The'sage monarchs of old had an important means as well as ideal acqmrement by which they smoothed the feelings of the people in the empire, who were then in perfect harmony without dis afiection between the superior and inferior. Do you know what that means or acquirement is? Tseng rose from his seat and replied, Being devoid of talents, how could I know it Then Confucius told him of the different kinds of filial piety proper for monarchs, princes, o icials, scholars, and the common people. Besides, he made the meanings of what he said more explicit by using words in a negative sense. He said, From the monarch down to the common people there is'no time prescribed as to the beginning and end for be ing filial. Therefore there have never been cases in which a man is afraid of being out of time for doing his duty.>f-irii.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legal Sketches But we pass through the barrier and enter the main building. Our lady companions are ushered to their separate seats at the side, and we, bachelors for the nonce, must take our places in the middle pews, for the separation of the sexes still remains a custom of the church, handed' down from the old monastic times. A chorister boy is busy arranging music books. A distant strain of rehearsal reaches us from the outer buildings, and we may therefore safely conclude that we have a quarter of an hour to spare before service commences. We notice the clean spring of the arches from the darkly glistening, many columned pillars, the rich, soft colours of the roof, the purple windows, the quiet, unobtrusive completeness of the whole building, and we admit that the Honourable Societies of the Inner and Middle Temple have indeed known how to build to God a church worthy of their old and noble guild. We recall, too, the many famous divines that have preached here, from the sad and serious Hooker, the stately periods of whose Ecclesiastical'polity still delight the student of Elizabethan literature, down to the present distinguished master, C. J. Vaughan, whose sermons are a model of cultured power. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2024-04-12 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this pathbreaking collection consider the significance of varied early American fragmentary genres and practices—from diaries and poetry, to almanacs and commonplace books, to sermons and lists, to Indigenous ruins and other material shards and fragments—often overlooked by critics in a scholarly privileging of the “whole.” Contributors from literary studies, book history, and visual culture discuss a host of canonical and non-canonical figures, from Edward Taylor and Washington Irving to Mary Rowlandson and Sarah Kemble Knight, offering insight into the many intellectual, ideological, and material variations of “form” that populated the early American cultural landscape. As these essays reveal, the casting of the fragmentary as aesthetically eccentric or incomplete was a way of reckoning with concerns about the related fragmentation of nation, society, and self. For a contemporary audience, they offer new ways to think about the inevitable gaps and absences in our cultural and historical archive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “marvelous history”* of medieval Europe, from the bubonic plague and the Papal Schism to the Hundred Years’ War, by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Guns of August *Lawrence Wright, author of The End of October, in The Wall Street Journal The fourteenth century reflects two contradictory images: on the one hand, a glittering age of crusades, cathedrals, and chivalry; on the other, a world plunged into chaos and spiritual agony. In this revelatory work, Barbara W. Tuchman examines not only the great rhythms of history but the grain and texture of domestic life: what childhood was like; what marriage meant; how money, taxes, and war dominated the lives of serf, noble, and clergy alike. Granting her subjects their loyalties, treacheries, and guilty passions, Tuchman re-creates the lives of proud cardinals, university scholars, grocers and clerks, saints and mystics, lawyers and mercenaries, and, dominating all, the knight—in all his valor and “furious follies,” a “terrible worm in an iron cocoon.” Praise for A Distant Mirror “Beautifully written, careful and thorough in its scholarship . . . What Ms. Tuchman does superbly is to tell how it was. . . . No one has ever done this better.”—The New York Review of Books “A beautiful, extraordinary book . . . Tuchman at the top of her powers . . . She has done nothing finer.”—The Wall Street Journal “Wise, witty, and wonderful . . . a great book, in a great historical tradition.”—Commentary
