Book Description
Excerpt from Memories of a Friend But fate has a capricious way of reversing the natural order of things. Today she is gone, and it has passed into the hands of those most concerned, who have thought it desirable to put the rambling pages into a permanent form; while I am still here to add a last line to the best tribute I can ofier to a cherished friend. It is a faithful, spontaneous, and entirely unsought transcript of things as they passed. The facts, noted down at the moment in my diary, and a few letters tell their own story. If these serve in any measure to recall the gracious and attaching personality of one who lived a full life and went out of it bravely, the simple record, without plan as it is, will have fulfilled its purpose.

Book Description
Excerpt from Friends and Memories A short time ago, during one of my periodical visits to London, a friend asked me if I had never thought of writing my memoirs. I was very much astonished, for it had never occurred to me that anyone would care to read anything I had to say about myself and my extremely erratic life. And I couldn't help thinking of a little story that had just been told to me by the landlady of the rooms where I was staying. She was one of the kindest and nicest women I ever came across, and was often extremely amusing. This was her story.

Book Description
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 Description
Excerpt from Memories and Musings When Friend Meets Friend We love the scene where friend meets friend - The quickened step, the mutual gaze, The proffered hand, the heart ablaze. No vicious plot, All ills forgot, When friend meets friend. Past scenes return when friend meets friend - Perhaps a day has passed or more, Perhaps a year, mayhap a score. Years count for naught, Past scene's the thought When friend meets friend. Time takes to wings when friend meets friend - A chat or two, an hour or so, A chore deferred, the sun sinks low, The day is done Ere it's begun When friend meets friend. The mask is raised when friend meets friend - Those secrets held to self most dear One must confide to trusted ear. One joy, one fear, One common tear When friend meets friend. Two Pens At the conference table over the sea Two pens were reflecting in deep reverie. One pen was from Krupp, quite boisterous and bold, And one was of Bethlehem steel, we were told. Said the pen from Krupp to the Bethlehem steel, "Let's confide in each other and our histories reveal." So these are the stories they tell to each other, The pen of Krupp and his Bethlehem brother, As they lay on the table end to end, Where the League of Nation's men have penned.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memories of Old Friends, Vol. 1: Being Extracts From the Journals and Letters of Caroline Fox of Penjerrick, Cornwall, From 1835 to 1871 "Speak of me as I am, nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice." - Shakespeare. The Journals and Letters from which the following Extracts have been chosen were written by Caroline Fox, of Penjerrick, between the years 1835 and 1871. They speak so clearly for themselves that but few words of introduction or explanation are needed. The Editor's task has been rendered a pleasant one by the help and sympathy of those members of Caroline Fox's family who survive her and keep her memory green. Inasmuch as this book will probably reach the hands of many to whom the family history will be a terra incognita, it becomes necessary that the few following pages of prefatory Memoir should accompany her own "winged words." On the 24th of May 1819, the girl-child of whom we write was born, at Falmouth, into this tough world. She was one of the three children of distinguished parents - distinguished not only by their fine old Quaker lineage, but by the many beautiful qualities which belong to large hearts and minds.
