Book Description
Excerpt from Recollections of My Youth This it is which has given birth to the six chapters which make up the present volume. The recollections of my childhood do not pretend to form a complete and continuous narrative. They are merely the images which arose before me and the reflections which suggested themselves to me while I was calling up a past fifty years old, written down in the order in which they came. Goethe selected as the title for his memoirs Truth and Poetry, thereby signifying that a man cannot write his own biography in the same way that he would that of any one else. What one says of oneself is always poetical. To fancy that the small details of one's own life are worth recording is to be guilty of very petty vanity. A man writes such things in order to transmit to others the theory of the universe which he carries within himself. The form of the present w'ork seemed to me a convenient one for expressing certain shades of thought which my previous writings did not convey. I had no desire to furnish information about myself for the future use of those who might wish to write essays or articles about me.

Book Description
Recollections of My Childhood and Youth by Georg Morris Cohen Brandes Excerpt I. He was little and looked at the world from below. All that happened, went on over his head. Everyone looked down to him. But the big people possessed the enviable power of lifting him to their own height or above it. It might so happen that suddenly, without preamble, as he lay on the floor, rummaging and playing about and thinking of nothing at all, his father or a visitor would exclaim: "Would you like to see the fowls of Kjöge?" And with the same he would feel two large hands placed over his ears and the arms belonging to them would shoot straight up into the air. That was delightful. Still, there was some disappointment mingled with it. "Can you see Kjöge now?" was a question he could make nothing of. What could Kjöge be? But at the other question: "Do you see the fowls?" he vainly tried to see something or other. By degrees he understood that it was only a phrase, and that there was nothing to look for.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memories of My Youth, 1844-1865 For the labour of shaping for the press the present volume, I am under obligations, as has been the case with the several books that preceded it, to the skill and devoted service of my home secretary, my daughter Ethel. My eyesight has always been restricted, and as since 1864 my writing arm has been disabled, I am, in preparing material for the press, dependent upon the help of others. My record of the events of the earlier years is based in part upon some home letters of my own which had fortunately escaped destruction, and in part upon my memory of conversations with my father. It is quite possible that for some portions of the narrative which were not covered by such letters or conversations, my memory may be at fault in regard to one detail or another, but I hope that the oversights will not be found important. If the time and the strength are spared, it is my purpose to continue this narrative later with a record of the succeeding half-century, under the title of Memories of a Publisher.

Excerpt from Recollections of My Mother There were two other children, both little girls. One of them died in her youth, but the other filled a cherished younger-sister place in my mother's life until late middle age. She was my Aunt Libbie Whitcomb; I loved her dearly, too. Oi the elder sister, Angelina, I know only one story; but, as related by my mother, it formed a de light f ul tale, and I shall have to do my best to reproduce it here.
