Excerpt from book: know what the world outside Europe was like four generations ago, distance of time is less of an obstacle to us, in an age when all read, than was distance of space to our ancestors before the days of steam and telegraph. A man bound for New York, as he sent his luggage on board at Bristol, would willingly have compounded for a voyage lasting as many weeks as it now lasts days. When Franklin, still a youth, went to London to buy the press and types by which he hoped to found his fortune, he had to wait the best part of a twelvemonth for the one ship which then made an annual trip between Philadelphia and the Thames. When, in 1762, already a great man, he sailed for England in a convoy of merchantmen, he spent all September and October at sea, enjoying the calm weather, as he always enjoyed everything ; dining about on this vessel and the other; and travelling " as in a moving village, with all one's neighbours about one." Adams, during the height of the war, hurrying to France in the finest frigate which Congress could place at his disposal, — and with a captain who knew that, if he encountered a superior force, his distinguished guest did not intend to be carried alive under British hatches, — could make no better speed than five and forty days between Boston and Bordeaux. Lord Carlisle, carrying an olive-branch the prompt delivery of which seemed a matter of life and death to the Ministry that sent him out, was six weeks between port and port, tossed by gales which inflicted on his brother Commissioners agonies such as he forbore to make a matter of joke even to George Selwyn. General Ried- esel, conducting the Brunswick auxiliaries to fight in a quarrel which was none of theirs, counted three mortal months from the day when he stepped on deck at Stade in the Elbe to the day whe...

This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages.

This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections, have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Life and Letters of Lord Macaulay Part 1 Volume 2 By George Otto Trevelyan He, likewise, during the famous tour in the Hebrides, came across the path of Boswell, who mentions him in an exquisitely absurd paragraph, the first of those in which is described the visit to Inverary Castle. ["Monday, Oct. 25.--My acquaintance, the Rev. Mr. John M'Aulay, one of the ministers of Inverary, and brother to our good friend at Calder, came to us this morning, and accompanied us to the castle, where I presented Dr. Johnson to the Duke of Argyll. We were shown through the house; and I never shall forget the impression made upon my fancy by some of the ladies' maids tripping about in neat morning dresses.

Excerpt from Speeches on Army Reform, Delivered Since the SessionI will preface what I have got to say by assuring anyone who is at all nervous about what may be going to happen that I am fully conscious that a Chamber Of Commerce Is not a political assembly; and that I will take care that no member of the Chamber, and no private citizen who has come here under its auspices, shall be offended, even if he should hold the most opposite party views from those taken by myself. The question Of the army is not a party question; it is a national question. It 1s good that it IS not a party question, and it is also not good. Good, because, owing to its not being an affair of party, we come to it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The American Revolution (1912) 4

The American Revolution (1921)

Excerpt from Five Speeches on the Liquor Traffic, Delivered Since the SessionThese speeches are dedicated to the Right Hon. John Bright, by his permission - a permission which implies nothing more than sympathy with any honest attempt to bring political influ emees to bear upon that national evil against which he did vigorous and early battle. Nor is it possible to place on more permanent record what has been spoken from the platform without acknowledging a debt to the statesman who, by his example, has shown all who believe that they have a righteous object how to appeal widely and fearlessly to the convictions of their fellow countrymen and who, (by those constitutional reforms which, thanks to him, have been secured within the last few years, or are now on the eve of accomplishment,) has brought it about that such an appeal shall produce far more prompt and decisive results than formerly upon our legislative action. Others but plant and water the ground which has been cleared by his labours of thirty arduous years; and all that we can do to express our gratitude is to resolve that we will employ the method which he has taught us in behalf of no cause about which we are afraid to pray that God will give the increase.Every one in the three kingdoms, who thinks or feels, is agreed that something must be done, and that soon. The movement in furtherance of which these speeches were made, (a movement which has evoked, among the classes to whom the question comes most nearly home, an interest and an enthusiasm at once striking and pathetic,) will have done something to ensure that, whatever step is taken, it shall be a bold and straightforward one in the right direction. A Government which proposes to suppress, without delay, a large proportion of the existing public houses, will have at its back the great majority of our working men, and the bestnineteen-twentieths of the Temperance party for that party knows well, from its experience in the United States, and in our own colonies, that, the less a nation drinks, the more rapidly its opinion shapes itself into a determination that the temptation to drunkenness shall disappear from its borders. As for vested rights, (if such rights can exist in the teeth of {an express legal declaration that they are granted only for a year,) it is to be presumed that, when the exclusive privilege of selling an article is restricted from a larger to a smaller number of monopolists, those who remain in the enjoyment of it can contrive and afford to buy out their com petitors. The business which the people at large have in the matter is to insist that a complicated machinery for compensation by means of a license tax shall not admit of being turned into a cover for post poning the extinction of drink-shops. It is earnestly to be hoped that, in dealing with the liquor tra c, the minister will take counsel, not with those who have a private interest in its maintenance, but with those who have nothing beyond a public interest in the morality and the welfare of the entire community.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Cambridge Dionysia: The Cambridge DionysiaDionysia. But the Greek words bothered me, and I was too lazy to rise for a Lexicon. So I fell a thinking on Athens, and what glorious fun the festival must have been. I can recollect nothing more till I found myself in the midst of a strange dream. And yet, marvellous as it was, nothing seemed to surprise me; but I took it for granted that every thing was perfectly natural and consistent. And the dream was as follows.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
