Excerpt from Old World Memories, Vol. 1 of 2 Before the Old World swam into our ken we had been impressed by this thought in Hawthorne's Our Old Home, and since then have remained the more convinced of its truth ful insight. I believe that the Chief delight and advantage of this kind of literature is not for any real information that it supplies to untravelled people, but for reviewing the recollections and reawakening the emotions of persons already acquainted with the scenes described. States of mind produced by inter esting and remarkable truthfully and vividly recorded, may work a genuine effect, and go farther towards representing the actual scene than any direct effort to paint it.

The Wheel of Time is now an original series on Prime Video, starring Rosamund Pike as Moiraine!

Rand al’Thor, the Dragon Reborn, is ready to fulfill his destiny. To defeat the enemy that threatens them all, he must convince his reluctant allies that his plan—as foolhardy and dangerous as it appears—is their only chance to stop the Dark One’s ascension and secure a lasting peace. But if Rand’s course of action fails, the world will be engulfed in shadow. Across the land, Mat, Perrin, and Egwene engage in battle with Shadowspawn, Trollocs, Darkfriends, and other creatures of the Blight. Sacrifices are made, lives are lost, but victory is unassured.

Book Description
Excerpt from Days and Deeds: A Hundred Years Ago The large brown house on the hill was the jolliest place to Visit that Roger knew anything about. To be sure, there were no children to play with. Baby Alice was not old enough to do much more than sleep or cry, and of course she could not know what a pleasant playmate her big, merry grandfather could be. But Roger knew, though Colonel Davenport was not his grandfather, only his great aunt's husband, and not really a bit related. Still, no grand father could make a boy have a better time; and when, one May morning, Mrs. Saybrook took her son for a month's Visit at the big house, Roger had a right to be the happiest child in the whole Connecticut colony. One thing, however, seemed hard. Colonel Davenport might not be at home very much, for he belonged that year to the Connecticut legislature. It was not so easy to go from Hart ford to Stamford as it is now, and the colonel did not try to get home Often, although some times he would come on Friday or Saturday and spend Sunday with his family. Indeed, he was expected the very week when Roger and his mother began their visit; and with him would come Governor Trumbull and three or four other men who were the colonel's close friends. The people at the big house needed Roger's mother to help get ready for so many guests; they needed a little boy, too, who could run on errands and do all the things that the colonel's own boys had done years before. On Friday afternoon, after three days of run ning and waiting on the little boy's part, every thing was ready for the visitors. Roger had not wasted a minute that day. Long before break fast he had thrown corn to the hungry hens, had led Dobbin and Dolly to the spring, and had helped Jonas, the hired man, to milk the cows. He did not really do any milking himself, but he helped Jonas wonderfully, for he could carry the milking stool and the empty pails.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memories of the Months How often one may hear people who enjoy command of their own time complain of the dulness of life in the country. Poets, children, lovers, and a few other abnormal individuals, derive constant solace from the seasons; but modern life in England has been arranged with studied indifference to them. Man - slowest among vertebrate animals to attain maturity, yet whose years are but a span compared with those of the oak or lowly lichen - man, leaden-footed among beasts, wingless among fowls - a poor climber - a bad swimmer - has shown his discontent with Nature by devising a scheme of civilisation to make him independent of her infinite changefulness. Artificial illuminants have rendered him indifferent to the radiance of rising and setting suns; neither storm nor shine are allowed to interrupt the monotony of counting-house, factory, or mine; while, strangest of all, fashion has decreed that the fairest half of the year can only be spent in an overgrown, smoky town, built chie y on swampy ground, lying along a muddy estuary.

Book Description
Excerpt from Stories and Reminiscences, Vol. 1 The stories and reminiscences, some new and some otherwise, here presented, have been hastily written and without any studied effort to clothe them in the best possible garb; neither have they been methodically and appropriately arranged and hence they do not appear "As snug as a bug in a rug." All know, that books of this character are likely to contain more than a tinge of silliness and folly and besides a little re-roasting of ancient chestnuts and re-threshing of old straw. Nevertheless it is hoped, that they contain a few grains of readable matter, which may peradventure amuse the reader. Stories are not the wisdom of the foolish for the edification of the more foolish, for it is a well known fact: "That a little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men." In other words, anything funny, grotesque or ludicrous is always palatable and the man who thinks he never did anything foolish isn't wise enough to know folly. It may be remarked, that it is sometimes hard to tell how much wit it requires to avoid being ridiculous.
