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.

Excerpt from Random Recollections The Revolution wrought many changes in the old colonial town. The governor and his court were gone. The great square pew, decorated with the royal arms, was no longer seen in the parish church. The palace was in ruins and the seat of government had been moved to Richmond. Still, despite these and other changes, the place and people remained very much as of old. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Bygone Years: Recollections T has been often remarked that few men above the age of eighty retain any activity of mind. Although I have long passed that age, I do not perceive that my mind, which was never active, is less so than it was. What is gradually failing me is memory, and if I am to relate a few incidents of my life, I must do so at once. I cannot attempt to write an autobiography, but merely to jot down some recollections which may be found of interest. It is curious how uncertain memory becomes at an advanced age. Whilst I remember a number of unimportant events, I find it difficult to call to mind the broad outlines of my life. I can, therefore, only offer a disconnected account of it, for which I crave the indulgence of any one who may be inclined to glance over these pages. It may be extended to me because the whole of these recollections have been written since I attained my eighty-sixth birthday, and because I possess no notes or journals to assist me, except those from which I have taken descriptions of Spain, India and Russia, which I wrote at the request of my uncle, the Duke of Devonshire.

Book Description
Imagine the words of your kindliest grandmother, imagine them refined and clear describing the wonders of the nineteenth century world in all their glory and variety. Isabella E Davis is that grandmother in Some Recollections of a Busy Life, but not only that, she is an ingenue, a child in the face of wonder, open and curious in a way few people are able to be. Isabella was born in 1842, raised alone by a father with a kind heart and abolitionist sympathies and then sent on a tour of the world which puts to shame all but the most dogged modern travellers. She is as endearing and enlightening when talking about her aquatic approach to the rolling hills of Barbados as when she pulls us into the pine laden Black Forest territories, full of magic with a tantalising smell on the air. Her companionship with her childhood nurse Dinah will touch you and create a real historical picture of a rare kind interracial interaction. The author's wonder at the squalor and deprivation of London allows her kindness to shine through. Davis is no staid, stiff narrator of a stale moral fable however. Her mischief and laughter come through on almost every page, the reader almost sways with her as she describes Caribbean women dancing under the banyan trees. A woman of her time in many ways, a wife and homemaker, but in many other ways a timeless soul reaching out to us through her pages. You will scarcely have read a page before you ache to reach back.

Book Description
Excerpt from Recollections of Past Life The few copies so printed have long been exhausted; and I have been urged by friends whose judgment I rightly respect, to publish the volume at once, with larger additions than those hitherto made. This, I am aware, is a very old and often abused plea for publication. But in the present instance other motives concurred to justify what indeed may almost be deemed a posthumous act, seeing that I go to the press when already advanced in my eighty-fourth year.

Book Description
Excerpt from Recollections and Impressions IN giving these Recollections and Impressions to the public, I feel some sort of explanation is due, - and the explanation is, that they were written at long intervals during the last four or five years, entirely for my grandchildren, and are therefore of a more domestic character than if a larger audience had been anticipated. I have never kept a diary, and am conscious that what I have written is often very desultory, and at all times it is difficult to keep reminiscences from being a dry catalogue of names. Had I even suppressed the personal note, the sketches of well-known people who came into our life might appear too like detached portraits, lacking a frame. Such as they are, I shall feel grate ful and pleased if my readers find some little interest in any of them. If they fail to attract.
