Book Description
Excerpt from My Memoirs, Vol. 1 If history is just and cannot be perverted by the fabrication of legends, it should show that by far the greater measure of the responsibility for this war rests with our enemies. The rule of the road at sea puts the blame in collisions on the person who causes the danger of the situation, and not on the one who makes a mistake through incorrect judgment at the last moment in his endeavour to escape from it. Our misfortune, however, did not proceed from the acqui sitiou of power, but from the weakness which did not know how to use that power either for the purpose of preserving or concluding peace, and in addition.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Harvard Dead in the War Against Germany, Vol. 1 In this first volume of Memoirs of the Harvard Dead only those thirty men are included whose deaths occurred before the United States entered the European War, April 6, 1917. They were The Vanguard, the men who sealed with their blood the pledge of that overwhelming senti ment in favor of the Allies which in time was to make our country an active participant in the fight. They deserve a volume to themselves. Those who give their all before any thing is asked must be held in separate remembrance and gratitude.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of the War in Spain, Vol. 1 of 2: From 1808 to 1814 The Memoirs of marshal Suchet are as much! The offspring of his own mind as the campaigns which he describes: the spirit in which they, were composed may be gathered from what we have just premised. He derived enjoyment and relaxation from the task; his active imagination delighted in the recollection of the past, amidst the pleasing distractions of a domestic life, and during the painful intermission of his last illness. His in timate friends drew from his conversation a faithful commentary on his work; he pointed out the final modifications to be made, which rather consisted in curtailments from than in additions to it, and he sought with their assistance the explanatory documents that were to accompany the publica tion. Much time was required for effecting this careful revision, for checking the accuracy of figures and dates, drawing up statements, and appending notes or documents intended to eluci date, explain, or develop the text.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the Great War, Vol. 1 This work in its original form appeared in twenty-four volumes between February 1915 and July mm, and was therefore written and published for the most part during the progress of the campaign. Begun as an experiment to pass the time during a period of enforced inaction, its large sales and the evidence forthcoming that it met a certain need induced me to continue it as a duty, and the bulk of it was written in the scanty leisure which I could snatch from service abroad and at home. Any narrative produced under such conditions must bristle with imperfections. It will contain many errors of fact. The writer cannot stage his drama or prepare the reader for a sudden change by a gradual revelation of its causes. His work must have something of the apparent inconsequence of real life. He records one month a sanguine mood and a hopeful forecast; three months later he will tell of depression and of expectations belied. He must set out interim judgments, and presently recant them.

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Verney Family During the Civil War, Vol. 1 of 2: Compiled From the Letters and Illustrated by the Portraits at Claydon House The 'dignity of history has a great deal to answer for. It has been supposed to concern itself only with reigns of kings, conquests and defeats, alliances and treaties, and the intermarriages of rather uninteresting personages, while the great stream of life of common-place people, what they thought and what they felt, has till lately been only considered important when the mass of convictions became powerful enough to create an upheaval of some definite kind. History is indeed written in a different spirit at the present day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of the War in the Southern Department of the United States, Vol. 1 of 2 When I engaged in this undertaking, many of my military comrades, capable and willing to contribute their aid to the fulfilment of my design, were living; whose minute knowledge of various scenes, all of which they saw, in some of which they led, would have rendered it peculiarly interesting and valuable. After postponing, as is common to man, what for various reasons ought not to have been delayed, I have expe rienced in mv progress abundant cause for self-re proach; since in many instances, I have been deprived of this important assistance, which no effort or appli cation has been able fully to supply. Discouraged by this privation, I should, though reluctantly, have rece ded from my purpose, had not the injurious couse quences of my dilatoriness been repaired in a measure by the animated and friendly exertions of the few sur vivors among my martial companions. To these indi viduals I owe a heavy debt of personal gratitude; and should the following sheets be deemed worthy of ge neral approbation, to their ready and unwearied assist ance, more than to the author's care and diligence, may be justly ascribed the pleasing result. I have, nevertheless, been compelled to abridge considerably my first design; not having been able to obtain the documents necessary to its full accomplishment.
