Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections, Personal and Literary His youth showed again how much more inborn tendency has to do with one's life than any exter nal forces, such as guardianship, means, and what we call education. The thrush takes to the bough, wheresoever hatched and ﬂedged. Many waters cannot quench genius, neither can the ﬂoods drown it. The story of Dickens's boyhood, as told by him self, is not more pathetic, nor is its outcome more beautiful, than the story of Richard Henry Stod dard's experiences, his orphanage, his few years' meagre schooling, his work as a boy in all sorts of shifting occupations, the attempt to make a learned blacksmith of him, his final apprenticeship to iron moulding, at which he worked on the East Side from his eighteenth to his twenty-first year. As Dr. Griswold put it, he began to mould his thoughts into the symmetry of verse while he moulded the molten metal into shapes of grace. Stoddard, how ever, afterward said that a knowledge of foundries was not one of the learned doctor's strong points.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections: Literary and Political A certain writer Of the Old time - forty years seems SO long ago - was known, as everything is in our days, by initials, and signed himself A. K. H. B. He wrote a book entitled The Recreations of a Country Parson. I forget what the recreations were, but I believe he amused himself with his pen, for I remember reviewing, in those days, another book by him called Changed Aspects of Unchanged Truths, which was, in fact, a volume Of sermons delivered in St. Andrews, and which he had not courage enough to publish under their proper name. And really the 'changed aspects' was only the name for the old sermons which Dr. Boyd had already inﬂicted upon his followers. But the title Of the earlier work attracted me - The Recreations of a Country Parson. The recreation Of a man who is busy in one way, according to his calling, is to be busy in another way according to his heart, and in a long life I have found leisure too much for me, and have made holiday in some kind Of work I was not called upon to do.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of a Literary Life, Vol. 2 To find myself again in the society of Louis de Cormenin was a compensation for the regret I felt at having come to the end of my travels. He had gone to live in Venice in 1850 with Theophile Gautier during part of the time I had spent galloping over Syria and Ph nicia. They were both men of gentle, careless, dreamy mould, lovers of art, able to lose themselves in the contemplation of a strip of blue sky seen through the arched openings of a campanile, or to find their amusement in watching the pigeons of Saint Mark pick up grains of Indian corn upon the Square. Happiness for them was attainable among the pearly effects of Venetian scenes, before the warm-toned Titians and the spiritualized Virgins of John Bellini. They did not need very material delights, were satisfied with frutti di mare at a fishermen's inn, drank water from outdoor fountains, floated upon the Lido, where they could, "Dormir la tete a l'ombre et les pieds au soleil," wandered out into the night to watch the stars reflected in the Lagoon as they stood upon the Schiavoni, and slept through the morning hours after being out till daybreak. Their natures were alike in simplicity and in a certain singularity; they seemed formed for one another. Gautier's account of their journey to Italy is a chef-d' uvre. Who does not know his "Italia?" For four months they lived together free and happy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Friends Being Literary Recollections of Other Days My book of other Days, containing Chronicles and Memories of Actors, has been received by the public with gratifying favor, and that favor has impelled me to act on a suggestion, coming from several sources, that I should write a companion book, containing Chronicles and Memories of Authors. The result is this book of old Famnns. I was introduced into the companionship of authors early in life, having published my first book, - which led to acquaintance with some of them, - in 1854, and I have had friendly intercourse with many of them, extending over a period of more than fifty years. Some of my recollections of that intercourse are here expressed, with all the kind ness that is consistent with truth, and perhaps my readers will find a little pleasure in rambling with me along the grass-grown pathways of the Past, where the idols of my youthful enthusiasm and the comrades of my pen remain unchanged.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections and Impressions, 1822-1890 My father was, as I have said elsewhere, a clergyman in Boston, Massachusetts, a Unitarian minister to the First Church, standing in a long line of men, of whom the earliest was severely orthodox, while he abhorred orthodoxy. Yet he was ordained without hesitation, was more than acceptable to the best minds through a service of thirty-five years, and continued more and more unorthodox to the end; so gradually and insensibly did the Puritan tenets disappear one by one until the shadow of them only remained. We are assured that by 1780 nearly all the congregational pulpits were filled by Arminians. In 1815, the year of my father's ordination, they were well domesticated in New England, Calvinism having lost its hold on the minds of thinking people, and none but keen-eyed watchers on the tower seeing what course opinion was taking.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Personal Memories Social, Political, and Literary, Sketches of Many Noted People 1803-1843 I had no such vanity as would have induced the publication of this book. It was urged upon me by others. Several years ago a number of gentlemen in Cincinnati sent me a written request to publish my reminiscences. After that my children made the same request. Not liking personal publicity, I paid, at first, little attention to the subject. Subsequently I began writing my memories in a series of letters to my children. In this form they had more of personality and of personal address than perhaps a printed book should have, but the reader will no doubt make allowance for that. One reason for my publishing these personal reminiscences is, that I remembered I was always interested, and I think others have been also, in this kind of narrative. Human nature is always interested in itself, and each individual looks with curiosity on the progress of others in the journey of life. This common interest in each other is my best reason for this publication, a small contribution to the history of human nature.
