Excerpt from A Few Memories They eloped, and were clandestinely married. The young couple, after a year's sojourn in New York and Philadelphia, wended their way westward. This was in 1859, only a few weeks before my birth. While in mid-ocean, bound for California, their ship caught fire. Providentially, there was no wind, or the vessel, and probably every soul on board, would have perished. My mother displayed remarkable courage on that occasion. While every one rushed about the deck, panic-stricken, she stood leaning against a mast, calmly awaiting.

Excerpt from Early Papers and Some Memories In great and small there is a like instinct of self-preservation. Let me have leave, then, to be such a gosling as to obey instinct, when I seek to reunite the past and present of a life of work that has, by accident and course of time, been cut in two. Those earlier books and papers which it is proposed now to reissue in volumes uniform with English Writers were first published while I was putting off the work to which I then hoped, if time lasted, to give the riper part of life. It seemed right to defer formal use of a small measure of knowledge that could only be approached through years of study and experience, at least until the age at which man knows himself a fool. "At thirty man suspects himself a fool," or did so in the days of Dr. Edward Young; - "knows it at forty, and reforms his plan." The writer of these Memories did, in fact, soon after the age of forty, form anew his plan of work. Since then, during the thirty years that men count as a generation, he has tried to spend his life on the one service for which, if for anything, it might be made a little fit. While so doing he has suffered lapse of time to separate his present from his past, for want of care over the work done when he lived among the grandfathers and fathers of the present generation, and found them kind.

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.

Excerpt from Memories of Fifty Years As I have had to trust almost entirely to memory and the few letters I have kept, of which I have been allowed to publish some, there is doubtless much that has escaped my memory and been forgotten. But I trust my temerity may be pardoned by those who agree with me that, after fifty years' acquaintance with many of the world's most interesting people, even the humblest observer may remember something worth recalling.

Excerpt from Some Memories These memories were written for The Christian Register, and ran through twenty-nine numbers, from December, 1903 to April, 1904. Many friends had suggested in the later years that I should write some memoirs of my life and print them, or leave them in the care of my children to be printed after my death. I did not favor the idea. But when I came to the eightieth mile-stone of my pilgrimage, there was such an outpouring of greetings and congratulations from the Church of the Messiah, the sister churches and ministers, and from friends far and wide in my motherland and my homeland these fifty-eight years, that my heart was moved to do something in this sort, and it was done, not as memoirs - these I could not attempt - but as "some memories."

Excerpt from Early Memories To begin a book with an apology is never desirable. Where, however, one writes about one's self or ventures to record one's personal recollections, some slight explanation seems almost necessary. Yet for what is contained in these pages I can give no better warrant or excuse than a passage from a very great writer who, it is to be feared, is not so much read now as he ought to be, or as he once was: "The life of every man," says our friend Herr Sauerteig, "the life even of the meanest man, it were good to remember, is a Poem; perfect in all manner of Aristotelean requisites; with beginning, middle and end; with perplexities and solutions; with its willstrength (Willenkraft) and warfare against Fate, its elegy and battle-singing, courage marred by crime, everywhere the two tragic elements of Pity and Fear; above all, with supernatural machinery enough, for was not the man born out of Nonentity; did he not die and miraculously vanishing return thither?" Nothing really is easier than to find words of excellent appearance to explain the compelling motives for wanting one's memoirs or reminiscences or autobiography. Whatever we may say, however, whatever ingenious phrases we may employ, the main purpose is to write about one's self, and the efficient reasons may all be summed up in the simple sentence: "I do it because it gives me pleasure." In fact, to the well-regulated mind there is no pleasure equal to that of talking about one's self, and one's satisfaction is not diminished by the inexorable necessity of seeming to talk about other people. My preface is already too long, even by these few words, and I will therefore end it here, trusting blindly for what is to follow in the assertion of Leslie Stephen, that "no autobiography is dull."

Excerpt from Memories of the Months How often one may hear people who enjoy command of their own time complain of the dulness of life in the country. Poets, children, lovers, and a few other abnormal individuals, derive constant solace from the seasons; but modern life in England has been arranged with studied indifference to them. Man - slowest among vertebrate animals to attain maturity, yet whose years are but a span compared with those of the oak or lowly lichen - man, leaden-footed among beasts, wingless among fowls - a poor climber - a bad swimmer - has shown his discontent with Nature by devising a scheme of civilisation to make him independent of her infinite changefulness. Artificial illuminants have rendered him indifferent to the radiance of rising and setting suns; neither storm nor shine are allowed to interrupt the monotony of counting-house, factory, or mine; while, strangest of all, fashion has decreed that the fairest half of the year can only be spent in an overgrown, smoky town, built chie y on swampy ground, lying along a muddy estuary.
