They who refuse must fight a terrible foe. The cry has been for peace. The lips of some of the ministers and members of the Church of Christ have been padlocked. Politicians, in the grasp of this power, are unable or unwilling to move. They clank their chains with delight, and glory in being allied with an organism SO potential and SO astute. Others see the peril, and withstand its Open and determined advance. NO longer now is the clash of arms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1888 edition. Excerpt: ... CHATTER XVII. CAN WASHINGTON BE TAKEN OUT OF THE LAP OF ROME. This may yet come to be the question of the hour. If done, it must be accomplished through the combined efforts of the people of the United States. The North and the South, the East and the West, must come up alike to the help of the Lord against the mighty. The need of it is apparent. It is the boast of the Frenchman, that as goes Paris, so goes France. As went Rome, so went Italy. And so it may yet be said, As goes Washington, so will go the great Republic. Remember, France made Paris bend her neck to the people. Italy thundered at the gates of Rome; took away the States of the Church from His Holiness the Pope; tossed overboard, with contempt and ease, the ruler who was said to preserve the equipoise of Europe; sent him a prisoner to the Vatican; and went on with the work of making Italy free, as if the tap-root of Papal Rule had not been the growth of centuries. Washington, the centre of political influence and activity, is in the lap of Rome, with the consent of the people. Let there be a protest. Unroof the monster, Jesuitism. Uncover the pollution, the scandal of the confessional. Unlock and throw open the doors of the convents and nunneries, the assignation houses, kept for a so-called celibate pi"iesthood. Expose the conduct of those who have made prostitution flourish at Rome and in all the great cities in which they have control, and Washington will shake off the incubus. The nation will declare for purity, for justice, for emancipation from the shackles of blind and besotted Romanism, and from the thraldom of the black-robed throng, who insult their sick, half-starve their orphans, --for whose support they are paid by the State, -- and maltreat their poor; because in...

Not a chapter here that has not been rewritten many times, and bathed in tears and consecrated by many prayers, before it was given to the public. Dr. Fulton delights to tell the truth. He is the most fearless man we have ever known. At the same time, he is the most tender and loving of Christian leaders. Love begets love.

C: Written Expressly for Little People MY publisher gives it as his Opinion that a great many persons will be offended at what I have said in this work. He thinks, also, that quite a number of our great generals will be seriously dis turbed in their dignity on seeing what liberties my artist has taken with them. Such opinions as these are rather too common with publishers in this country, who generally take very narrow views as to what public men think and do. This work was not written to offend, but to amuse and instruct little people. I have too much respect for our great generals to believe that they will feel offended at what I have said of them. Some of our little generals may perhaps take exception to the positions my artist has assigned them, and feel disposed to make war on him. But there will be nothing new in this.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Red City: A Novel of the Second Administration of President Washington About five in the afternoon on the 23rd May, 1792, the brig Morning Star of Bristol, John Maynard, master, with a topgallant breeze after her, ran into Delaware Bay in mid-channel between Cape May and Cape Henlopen. Here was the only sun shine they had seen in three weeks. The captain, liking the warmth on his broad back, glanced up approvingly at mast and rigging. "She 's a good one," he said, and noting the ship powdered white with her salt record of the sea's attentions, he lighted a pipe and said aloud, "She 's salted like Christmas pork." As he spoke, he cast an approving eye on a young fellow who sat at ease in the lower rigging, laughing as the brig rolled over and a deluge of water flushed the deck and made the skipper on the after-hatch lift his feet out of the way of the wash. "Hi, there, Wicount," called the captain, "she 's enjoying of herself like a young duck in a pond." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Sight of the Goddess: A Tale of Washington Life I have never been able to decide just where in these sixty square miles that make up the District the mischief lies that seems to play the devil with the most of us who have been afﬂicted with birth here. Certain it is that few of the native-born have ever attained anything in the way of success, and I am conspicuously not one of the few. There seems to be an enervation, a sort of mental malaria aﬂoat, that lays waste, kills, or perverts any energy or am bitiou that nature might have endowed us with. I don't know just what I expected to do with my life when I came home after graduation. I may have had some ideas on the subject be fore I left my alma mater, but, if so, as soon as I felt the lazy, paralyzing atmosphere of my na tive place again, everything became uncomfort ably vague, and, although I was confronted with the fact that I had my own living to earn, I was just about as much in the dark as to how I was going to do it as the traditional unborn babe. I know I had a pretty bad quarter of an hour, which somehow has managed to stretch itself over the best part of my life so far.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Washington Unvisited by them. The Civil War had surged over the country, scarcely causing them a heart-throb. When Early made his raid upon the borders of the town they only smiled to hear of it; they were Southern ladies, and safe in any event. Soldiers marched and countermarched in street and avenue - they only bowed their blinds and sat farther back in their parlors. Milly and Hark became free people; the country rocked with jubilation and blazed with ban ners so far as they were conscious of it they regarded it as a part of the latter-day ruin. A President was impeached; it did not signify; the new Presidents were like chil dren playing with crowns and sceptres. As nearly as possible time and the march of nations stood still that Miss Veronica Sidney and her sister Sedley might pass, pausing, if not with that President who had been an uncle-in - law of some long dead aunt of theirs, yet with his immediate successors. The income of these old gentlewomen was very small, consisting of the rents of certain houses, sometimes paid and some times not, and it was now smaller than ever.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollection of Men and Things at Washington: During the Third of a Century The undersigned has resided in the city of Washington for more than the third of a century. Owing to his continuous connection with the press, either as editor, or correspondent and Congressional reporter, he was a witness of many of the things related in this book. He is aware there are omissions of not a few interesting facts; but to carefully prepare them would require more time than he could spare from his regular business pursuits, and to print them would extend this work beyond the limits of a single volume. When the author first came to this city, the travel between Baltimore and Washington was by stage, the journey occupying all the hours from the rising to the setting of the sun of the longest summer-day. But toward the close of that year - 1834 - the railroad connecting the two cities was completed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Washington: A Virginia Cavalier The purpose Of the author has been not to lay stress upon the so -called' 'true George Washington, or the great planter as he over saw his plantation or read the London markets; not even to lay emphasis on the great soldier as he ﬂamed forth in war, or the first president as he marked the pathway of the new republic. The chief aim has been to point out those qualities which endeared him to his generation, to the end that boys and girls may have stirred in them some of the affection and admiration accorded Washington by those of his own time. This is no easy task. Americans have placed Washington on a pedestal. Some of his biographers have idealized him so that he seems a demi - god. Others, in trying to avoid this mistake and give a true story, have been too realistic and have pictured only that which was commonplace in his life, calling attention to little human weaknesses which at certain times and under some circum stances he gave expression to. But you can no more tell a true life story Of a man by magnifying his faults than by overrating his virtues.
