Book Description
Excerpt from Reminiscences and Sketches The suggestion of this volume came from two students of former years who have attained dis tinction in letters. If the approbation Of Old friends in whose judgment and good taste one has confidence is endorsed by acceptance on the part Of the first publisher to whom the material is submitted, and a fair Offer is made, it is ex cusable perhaps to yield to a secretly cherished wish and bring Old papers out again from their dusty retirement. If the reception of the volume should be as kindly as that of the individual pa pers, the author would have no reason to com plain.

Book Description
Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Preacher Many a life, like many a day, has thus begun with the fairest hopes, but to be prematurely shortened by clouds, storms, and disaster. In the varied, the variegated, and the solemn scenes through which I have passed during a long term of years, there are some things so strange and startling, that a record Of them might seem to many but the wild circumstances of a frenzied imagination. However, be this as it may, they are those which relate to human life, and as events occur almost every day which make facts stronger than fiction, those which I have to pre sent may perhaps be interesting to the ordinary reader, suggestive to the philanthropist, and admonitory to the reckless and inexperienced.

Casket of Reminiscences (Classic Reprint)

Pages : 508
Book Description
Excerpt from Casket of Reminiscences The author of the Reminiscences contained in this volume has little to say in regard to them by way of proem. They were written to amuse a few hours of the summer and autumn of the present year, and appeared almost daily in the columns of the Washington Chronicle precisely as they were originally thrown off from his pen. Though very sensible of their deficiencies in point of literary finish, he has not judged it expedient to modify them in any essential particular; and he will, indeed, be highly gratified if they shall now he read by those into whose hands they may chance to fall with as much interest as they seemed originally to awaken. He has no apology to make for certain rather unkind strictures indulged in regard to several individuals upon whose character and conduct he has undertaken to remark. He has chosen to speak the unvarnished truth, both as to men and things; and he is quite well satisfied that, sooner or later, all considerate and impartial men will come to the conclusion that in doing so he is not justly subject to censure. Should there he those who shall choose to join issue with him as to facts herein narrated they will now have it in their power to do so under circumstances altogether convenient to them.

Book Description
Excerpt from Reminiscences of an Old Teacher After much hesitation I have concluded, notwithstand ing the advice of some of my best friends. To reprint from the Journal of Education some of the papers which I fur nished, at the editor's request, as Reminiscences of an Old Teacher. I should be glad to have every young man in the country seeking for a truly liberal education live such a life as I lived till I entered college. Through life, though spent at a distance from the fields, and in an occupation as unlike husbandry and gardening as possible, I have en joyed the familiar knowledge I obtained of the earth, and of everything that grows out of the earth, and of the animals, quadrupeds, birds, fishes, and insects with which I became familiarly acquainted. I have been benefited and blest by the habits I formed of using all my bodily faculties in daily vigorous exercise for some hours every summer's day till I entered college.

Book Description
Excerpt from Impressions and Reminiscences I acknowledge that, every evening, I am simple enough to record, in more or less words, the events of the day; and this I have done for twenty years. It does not follow, however, that this journal merits publication; and I doubt if even a few of its pages would be worth the trouble. On reviewing it, I am convinced that it would be principally interesting to myself, resembling, as it does, a journal from shipboard; for we live, for the most part, in the country; and this life is similar to that on a ship that is lying-to.

Book Description
Excerpt from Twenty-Five Years Reminiscences OF my father I desire to speak without a word of mourning. It is now seven years since he died, and I no longer feel it a profane thing to think of him or to speak of him as he was. His was so strong a personality, so living, that the note of mourning seems out of place. Somewhere he goes on living Still, intensely human, simple, robust, great-hearted, kind. In whatever position of life he might have been born, he would always have been unlike his fellows. He was born to the country pursuits. Although the actual place of his birth was an old Dublin street under the shadow of Dublin Castle walls, practically from the beginning his business and his place were with flocks and herds, in the rich fields lying south westward of Dublin, under the beautiful mild hills.

Book Description
Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Rebel Notwithstanding the title of this volume, I do not admit that I was ever in any true sense a rebel, neither do I intend any disrespect when I call the Northern soldiers Yankees. The use of these terms is only a concession to the appellations that were customary during the war. It is my purpose to record some recollections of the Civil War, and incidentally to furnish some historical notices of the brigade to which I was attached. Here and there I have expressed, also, some opinions concerning the great events of that dreadful period, some criticisms of the conduct of battles and retreats, and some estimates of the abilities of prominent generals. The incentive to write is of a complex nature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
