Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Portrait Gallery, Vol. 1 The Illustrated Catalogue of the National Portrait Gallery may be considered as a fitting sequel to the Illustrated Catalogue of the National Gallery, published by Messrs. Cassell and Company in 1899. The National Portrait Gallery was founded in 1856, and was at first housed in temporary premises at 29, Great George Street, Westminster. In 1869 the collection was removed to the eastern portion of the Long Building at South Kensington, where it remained until the autumn of 1885, when, owing to increased danger from fire, the collection was transferred on temporary loan to the Science and Art Department at the Bethnal Green Museum. Although this was intended to be but a temporary measure, no steps were taken to provide this interesting collection with a permanent home, or seemed at all likely to be taken, until May, 1889, when William Henry Alexander, Esq., of Shipton, Andover, Hants, generously offered to build a National Portrait Gallery at his own expense. This offer having been accepted by h.m. Government, a site was allotted in St. Martin's Place in the rear of the National Gallery, and the new building commenced in October, 1890. The new Gallery was completed in April, 1895, Mr. Alexander contributing to its cost and hm. Government f The collection was then moved into-the new building, and the Gallery opened to the public on Saturday, April 4th, 1896.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Portrait Gallery of Distinguished Americans, Vol. 2 Although guilty of some excesses while' in London, he afterwards became a model Of temperance and industry, and even reformed his brother printers by his example and exhortation. While in London, he continued to devote his leisure hours to books and study, and in 1726, after a stay of eighteen months, he returned to America, with Mr. Denham, a merchant Of Philadelphia, as his clerk, on a salary of 50 a year. On his arrival, he found that his old sweetheart, Miss Read, had been induced by her parents, in con sequence Of his neglect, which franklin justly regarded as one of the great errors of his life, to marry another man. Extraordinary circumstances, however, prevented that couple from ever living together; and, at a subsequent period, franklin married the lady, who proved an excellent and invaluable wife. His truly worthy master, Mr. Denham, died in the course of the ensuing year, when franklin returned to his original business, first under Keimer his former master, then with a young man of the name Of Meredith; they printed a newspaper, which was conducted with much ability, and acquired franklin some reputation; the project Was very profitable, and afforded him an Opportunity of distinguishing himself as a political writer. He also Opened a shop for the sale of books and stationery. In 1732, having had leisure for both reading and writing, he began to publish Poor Richard's Almanac, which he continued with great success for many years. 64 The Way to Wealth, extracted from that publication, and consisting Of numerous and valuable concise maxims, has been translated into various languages, and inserted in almost every newspaper and magazine in England and America.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Portrait Gallery of Distinguished Americans, Vol. 2 of 4: With Biographical Sketches Dr. Franklin was unquestionably a very remarkable man one who, in any age or country, would, by the mere force Of his native talents, have made a respectable figure in life. It is probable, however, that had his lot thrown him in an older or more refined community than America was in his youth, he would not have been contemplated as the sun of the system. He, like many other distinguished characters, was much indebted to circumstances. It must be admitted, too, that he had many conceits, or fancies; that he was by no means without his foibles; and that, in his own phrase, he committed some great errors in the early part Of his career.

Then our hearts are warmed, our resolves strengthened, and our hopes encouraged to increase and magnify our own parts in the ever-acting drama. Biography may be said to be the key to history. It admits us into the privacies and behind the scenes, and makes us acquainted with the separate parts Of the great whole. In some respects the sight may be calculated to diminish our admiration; but this is only at a casual view, and to an inferior order of Observers. There will always be found great actors as the supporters of great events. Nothing, as Lear says. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The National Gallery, Vol. 1 The arrangement of the pictures, which is strictly alphabetical, follows that of the Official Catalogue; the descriptions also are taken direct from the same source. They have been occasionally cut down where the page did not afford room for the whole text, and in some few cases they have been slightly amplified. An essential feature of the work is that the descriptions of the pictures invariably (with a single exception) face the illustrations on the opposite page, thus avoiding the careless and tiresome arrangement, only too common in works of this character, where the illustration is only to be found on a page far removed from the text which treats of it. The exception is on p. 8 5, where it was thought undesirable to so abbreviate the explanations of the four allegorical subjects by Paul Veronese as to bring in that of the fourth picture, which is accordingly relegated to the succeeding page. The exception will serve to indicate the care with which the whole work has been carried out. The arrangement of the illustrations was a matter of some difficulty; and it was not always found possible to avoid an awkward page, more particularly where pictures of different shapes are gathered together in the same group. The rule adopted for the scale of the illustrations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
