Book Description
Excerpt from Lady Morgan's Memoirs, Vol. 2: Autobiography, Diaries and Correspondence You, who have followed me through the four acts of my comedy, seem to cut me dead at the fifth, and leave me to the enjoyment of my own catastrophe without sympathy or participation; not a single couplet to celebrate the grand event, not even one line of prose to say I wish you joy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Autobiographical Recollections, Vol. 2 of 2 Morse and I find ourselves very comfortable in our new lodgings, and I hope we shall not change again very soon. Our landlady has a very pretty daughter, which is one very great recommendation to her lodgings. By the bye, we shall not now be able to hear of King's arrival very soon. If he delivers the letter I gave him to mother, I hope you will all show him a good deal of attention, as he was a very great friend to me here. I am sure you will like him, for he is very agreeable, has read a good deal, and, from the opportunities I have had of judging, I think he has an excellent heart as well as head. He will be able to give you a good account of me, of the manner in which I live, &c. There is one quality that I found in King which pleased me much, because it is a scarce one, he does not flatter.

Book Description
Excerpt from My Memoirs, Vol. 2 England hoped to overwhelm our country with the Russian steam-roller, whilst the Franco-Anglo-Belgian army brought ours to a standstill, and intended then to stop the war if the danger arose of the Russians winning too big a victory. The enemy assumed that Italy's secession would upset our calculations and cancel our numerical superiority in the west during the decisive weeks. The enemy's well-founded hopes of victory were disappointed by the way in which our military machine did its work and the speed with which we seized Belgium. The Russian masses did what could be expected of them. But they had the misfortune soon to stumble across great generals, who, favoured by the luck of battle, brought out by magnificent man uvres the best qualities of our nation in arms. The Schlieffen plan of attacking France through Belgium was intended to stave off from Germany the first vital danger.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs, Vol. 2 of 2 There was much mutual robbing by newspapers of telegraphic news in those days. Once it befell that just before the Bulletin went to press, a part of the powder-mills of Dupont Brothers in Delaware blew up, and we received a few lines of telegram, stating that Mr. Dupont himself had saved the great magazine by actually walking on a burning building with buckets of water, and preventing the fire from extending, at a most incredible risk of his life. Having half-an-hour's time, I expanded this telegram into something dramatic and thrilling. A great New York newspaper, thinking, from the shortness of time which elapsed in publishing, that it was all telegraphed to us, printed it as one of its own from Delaware, just as I had written it out - which I freely forgive, for verily its review of my last work but one was such as to make me inquire of myself in utter amazement, "Can this be I?" - "so gloriously was I exalted to the higher life."

Book Description
Excerpt from Memoir and Remains, Vol. 2 of 2 Regarding the style of the book, no words of praise seem excessive for its finish and pre cision. It is written with singular quietude, with the most entire negation of the merely rhetorical; but each word, each phrase, is selected with perfect judgment, is the fittest that could be found for the expression of the thought which it carries. Evidently this strange and beautiful book is one to whose production many hours Of patient labour have been unsparingly given, - and given wisely, for they have turned it into an exquisitely polished work of art.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Autobiography of a Journalist, Vol. 2 of 2 Crete, because the quarantine on the return was not merely rigorous but merciless, and exaggerated to an incredible severity. No boat or steamer was ad mitted to enter the port coming from any Turkish or Egyptian port, though with a perfectly clean bill of health, and all ships must make their quarantine at the uninhabited island of Delos. Such was the panic that no one would venture to carry provisions to that island while there was a Ship in quarantine, and during the fortnight I waited at Syra an English steamer without passengers, and with a clean bill of health, having finished her term, was condemned to make another term of two weeks, because a steamer had come in with refugees from Alexandria, and had anchored in the same roadstead. Mr. Lloyd, the English consul, protested and insisted on the steamer being released, and the people threatened to burn his house over his head if he persisted; but, as he did persist, the ship was finally permitted to commu nicate with Syra, but not to enter the harbor, and was obliged to leave without discharging or taking cargo, after being a month in quarantine.

Excerpt from Some Account of My Life and Writings, Vol. 2 of 2: An Autobiography The evident and rapid progress of free-trade princi ples in the nation at this time, and their open adoption by the Government and the Legislature, induced me to embrace a proposal of Blackwood's to publish a selection from my articles in his Magazine, in which these doctrines were most firmly combated. Of course in so doing at such a time I closed the door against any chance of official or professional promotion from the Liberal party, whether Whig or Conservative, then to all appearance permanently installed in power; I also had no views, either to profit or popularity, in.

Book Description
Excerpt from Autobiography of Seventy Years, Vol. 2 I have every reason to believe that my constituents in the Worcester district would have gladly continued me in the public service for ten years longer, if I had been so minded. I presided over the District Convention that nominated my successor. Before the convention was called to order the delegates crowded around me and urged me to reconsider my refusal to stand for another term, and declared they would gladly nominate me again. But I persisted in my refusal. I supposed then that my political career was ended. My home and my profession and my library had an infinite attraction for me. I had become thoroughly Sick of Washington and politics and public life. But the Republican Party in Massachusetts was having a death struggle with General Butler. That very able, adroit and ambitious man was attempting to organize the political forces of the State into a Butler party, and to make them the instrument of his ambitions. He had in some mysterious way got the ear Of General Grant and the control of the political patronage Of the State, SO far as the United States offices were concerned. I had denounced him and his methods with all my might in a letter I had written to the people of Massachusetts, from which I have already made extracts. I had incurred his bitter personal enmity, and was regarded with perhaps one exception, that Of my Older brother Judge Hoar, as his most unrelenting opponent.
