Memories and Impressions by Ford Madox Hueffer Pdf

Excerpt from Memories and Impressions: A Study in Atmospheres "My Dear Kids - Accept this book, the best Christmas present that I can give you. You will have received before this comes to be printed, or at any rate before - bound, numbered, and presumably indexed - it will have come in book form into your hands - you will have received the amber necklaces and the other things that are the outward and visible sign of the presence of Christmas. But certain other things underlie all the presents that a father makes to his children. Thus there is the spiritual gift of heredity. "It is with some such idea in my head - with the idea, that is to say, of analyzing for your benefit what my heredity had to bestow upon you - that I began this book. That, of course, would be no reason for making it a 'book, ' which is a thing that appeals to many thousands of people, if the appeal can only reach them.

Memories and Impressions by George Charles Brodrick Pdf

Excerpt from Memories and Impressions: 1831-1900 The present volume has not the character of an Autobiography; nor, indeed, could its author plead any of the usual excuses for publishing a Memoir of himself. It is not the life-history of one who has attained to eminence; it is not the record of an eventful career; it contains few, if any, graphic pictures of remarkable scenes or remarkable men. Since I am not one who has kept a diary, some noteworthy incidents have doubtless escaped my recollection; while, on the other hand, I have been under no temptation to insert extracts on matters of slight importance.

Memories And Impressions Of Helena Modjeska by Helena Modjeska Pdf

The car comes to a stop. After several years of absence, I am in Poland again. The sun sheds upon the snow myriads of sparks, which glisten like so many precious gems; a purple strip of mist rises above the distant forest of dark, pointed pines, which form a background to white, humble huts, throbbing with lives of patience and toil, under the iron hand of the ruler... I feel a mysterious glow penetrating into the very depth of my heart, tears rise to my eyes; I humbly bow my head and whisper, "Hail, beloved..." "Einsteigen, meine Herrschaften,” shouts the metallic voice of the conductor, waking me from my revery, and by his sudden cry in a foreign language brutally recalling to my mind the misfortunes of my country. As we proceed further through German Poland we look in vain for any outward sign of the nationality of the inhabitants; there is none. No Polish inscriptions, no Polish names of the stations, no railroad employees allowed to speak Polish; yet crowds of peasants and workingmen hurrying to the fourth-class cars speak only the vernacular. Strange to say, there is one thing that all the efforts of the repressive governmental system cannot destroy, and that is the deep-rooted patriotism of the people, nor can they make of no avail their heroic struggle to preserve their mother-tongue.

A New Medley of Memories (Classic Reprint) by David Hunter-Blair Pdf

Excerpt from A New Medley of Memories One is rather treading on eggshells When printing impressions of events and persons so near our own time. But I trust that there is nothing unkind in these more recent memories, any more than in the former. There should not be; for I have experienced little but kindness during a now long life; and I approach the Psalmist's limit of days With only grateful sentiments towards the many friends Who have helped to make that life a happy as well as a varied one.

Memories of the Months (Classic Reprint) by Herbert Maxwell Pdf

Excerpt from Memories of the Months I feel inclined to ask the printer to use red ink for the introduction to this volume, as serving to indicate how I blush at my temerity in laying before a too indulgent public a fifth bundle of these desultory notes. Nobody can be more conscious than myself of their ephemeral quality; but the public has itself to blame, if blame there be, because of the encouragement it has shown me to give a more or less permanent form to fleeting impressions, and to prose about matters one cannot but notice in moving through our beautiful land.

Memories of Forty Years (Classic Reprint) by Princess Catherine Radziwill Pdf

Excerpt from Memories of Forty Years I have begun these wanderings into a past full of agreeable hours with my impressions of England and the English. My motive has been twofold. First, because my book being published in England it should be of particular interest to English-speaking peoples to read a foreigner's impressions. My second reason is that I have the sincere conviction that nowhere as in England exists such a spirit of all-round good fellow ship and toleration. The second part of my book concerns itself with Germany, my home for many years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Memories Notes of Persons Places by Sidney Colvin Pdf

Excerpt from Memories Notes of Persons Places: 1852-1912 The figures I have tried to call up are for the most part those of famous men with whom it was my good fortune to come early in life into contact, close or casual as the case might be. It was never my habit to keep diaries or make notes of conversations, so that the matters I have set down are strictly and solely such as have chanced to stick in my memory; the single exception being in the case of Shelley's friend Trelawny, of my one and only talk with whom I did, as it happens, make notes the evening after it had occurred. The impressions of places, on the other hand, were in two or three instances (indicated in the text by dates) recorded promptly after they were received.

Recollections and Impressions (Classic Reprint) by E. M. Sellar Pdf

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 grateful and pleased if my readers find some little interest in any of them.

Mid-Victorian Memories by Matilda Betham-Edwards Pdf

Excerpt from Mid-Victorian Memories: With a Portrait By an unfortunate misunderstanding, the letter of Mr. Frederic Harrison in Chapter II. were in type and were passed for press without having been submitted to the writer, and without having obtained his consent to their publication. He wishes it to be understood that the letters were confidential, and often playful, replies to constant inquiries from Miss Betham Edwards as to his literary work - such as he never contemplated leaving the hands of his old friend.
