Book Description
Excerpt from Memories, Vol. 1 My life, indeed, has been largely spent amongst men who in many lands have made the history of their time. The story of their public achievements is, or will be, written in the annals of their countries. The story of their private lives is often unknown to, and therefore put on one side by, their biographers. To rescue from oblivion here and there some intimate feature, some petty detail which may help to make known the real personalities of such men - perhaps to remove a wrong impression - is the humble object of this book, and it is to the Shades of those who did so much for me that I offer it as a grateful tribute.

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.

Excerpt from A Garden of Memories; Mrs. Austin; Lizzie's Bargain, Vol. 1 Even in its peaceful condition the lane did not seem likely to attract visitors. Yet a couple Of well-dressed men lingered there, talking earnestly, and had already lingered for ten or fifteen minutes, though there were pleasanter spots within easy reach. The elder of the two, a tall, neat, gray whiskered man of Sixty or more, stood on the footpath, with his back to the cottages, and poked at the dust with a slim gold-headed cane. His companion, much younger than himself, had halted in the roadway, and was speaking rather defiantly, with his hands in his pockets.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memories of by-Gone Days When my husband asked me to write the foreword to this little book I was glad, for no one except the author can feel so great an interest in this as I do. His articles and pictures for the outdoor magazines have been a pleasure to both of us, and it has long been my desire to see them gathered into a volume in permanent form. In Memories of Bygone Days there is no morbid tendency to disparage present joys, but simply a wholesome retrospect. Lulled in the countless chambers of the brain Our thoughts are linked by many a hidden chain. We may make of memory a blessing or a curse, just as we will. It is a stupendous thought that we are augmenting or decreasing future pleasure by the way we spend today. The only use we have for our past is to get a future out of it. All the pleasures of today One by one soon glide away To the golden shore of sweet long ago. Happy is that man whose memories are pleasant and profitable company. Alice kimball steele.
