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 Recollections: Literary and Political A certain writer Of the Old time - forty years seems SO long ago - was known, as everything is in our days, by initials, and signed himself A. K. H. B. He wrote a book entitled The Recreations of a Country Parson. I forget what the recreations were, but I believe he amused himself with his pen, for I remember reviewing, in those days, another book by him called Changed Aspects of Unchanged Truths, which was, in fact, a volume Of sermons delivered in St. Andrews, and which he had not courage enough to publish under their proper name. And really the 'changed aspects' was only the name for the old sermons which Dr. Boyd had already inflicted upon his followers. But the title Of the earlier work attracted me - The Recreations of a Country Parson. The recreation Of a man who is busy in one way, according to his calling, is to be busy in another way according to his heart, and in a long life I have found leisure too much for me, and have made holiday in some kind Of work I was not called upon to do.

Excerpt from Recollections of a Literary Man Among all the Paris salons, haunted by that first dress coat of mine, the salon Ortolan, at the Ecole de Droit, has left one of the pleasantest impressions. Old Ortolan, a shrewd meridional and famous jurisconsult, was also a poet in his leisure moments. He had published Les Enfantines, and although he swore he wrote only for children, he did not disdain the approbation of grown-up people for his verses.

Book Description
Excerpt from Some Recollections On Adams Street, near Concord was a public school, which was a large one, and I think the only one in Brook lyn at that time. On Henry Street, near Pineapple Street, Mr. Hegeman had a large private school. A very good class of boys attended, almost as many as attended the Classical Hall. It had a belfry with a large bell which could be heard at a long distance, and which served to call the three schools to their studies. I remember the bell, for four or five of us one bitter cold night got up in the belfry and upset the bell, making it fast with the mouth up, and filled it half full of water which froze solid before morning; and it was very late the next morning when it rung again.

Book Description
Excerpt from Twenty Years in Paris: Being Some Recollections of a Literary Life Although, in the writing of it, this book has grown to bulk which much surpasses that which was proposed at the outset, and although at all times what precept was kept in mind by which the severe Boileau proclaims it the great art of authorship to leave certain things unsaid, I am yet conscious as I read its pages over again that many people have been left unnamed who ought to have been named, and that many things have not been told which ought to have been told. I begin now to understand why it is that the writers of memoirs usually require several volumes for their narratives, and I can appreciate the truth of those words of the poet Baudelaire which Alphonse Daudet used often to quote in my hearing, "J'ai plus de souvenirs que si j'avais mille ans." The purpose of this explanatory note is to pay a collective tribute to those still living and to the memory of those who are dead, whose names are not recorded in friendship in these pages. To have written about all the distinguished people who by the privilege of their companionship and the graciousness of their hospitality have embellished the twenty years of my life in Paris would indeed have necessitated a record of many volumes.

Excerpt from Recollections of Literary Characters and Celebrated Places, Vol. 2 of 2 Wine and women I forswear My heels and feet I keep from cold, N o marvel then though I be old; I am a willow, not an oak, I chide, but never hurt with stroke. During the course of this long career, the individual of whom we write erected at Basing, where he died, that famous residence, the splendour of which was the pride of England, and even of England's queen. So vast an expense in. Living here was entailed upon his successors, that, according to Camden, they took a certain means of reducing the burden. It was so overpowered, says the chronicler, by its own weight, that they have been forced to pull down a part of it. Of what it was, even in this reduced condition, a survey taken so late as 1698 may afford some slight idea; and from this it appears, that the area of the entire works, including the gardens and entrenchments, occupied fourteen acres and a half.

Excerpt from Recollections of What I Saw, What I Lived Through, and What I Learned, During More Than Fifty Years of Social and Literary Experience I must begin with a confidential word to my readers. I have been a hard-working literary woman for more than forty years, but I do not Write these memories because I attach any Significance to my own personality. I have written them for my own pleasure; be cause friends have seemed interested and amused by scraps Which I have told them; because I think some of my contemporaries may like to be reminded of ways of life and thought Which are passing into oblivion because I have witnessed some beginnings which are ripening yet; and because I find the present abounds with those to whom some Of my memories have already a certain antiquarian flavour. I must express my gratitude to the friends through whose instigation and sympathy I have been led to enjoy these pleasures of memory. I also offer my cordial thanks to the other friends who have given me ready furtherance in the matter Of illustrations - viz., to Lord Guthrie, Miss Lydia Nicol, and Mr. Robert Brown.
