Excerpt from The Days of Jeanne D'arc It was a cold night even for January.

Excerpt from Jeanne D'arc The Maid Thunder of riotous hoofs over the quaking sod; Clash of reeking squadrons, steel-capped, iron-shod; The White Maid and the white horse, and the flapping banner of God. Black hearts riding for money; red hearts riding for fame; The Maid who rides for France and the King who rides for shame - Gentlemen, fools, and a saint riding in Christ's high Name! "Dust to dust!" it is written. Wind-scattered are lance and bow, Dust, the Cross of St. George; dust the banner of snow. The bones of the King are crumbled, and rotted the shafts of the foe. Forgotten, the young knight's valour; forgotten, the captain's skill; Forgotten, the fear and the hate and the mailed hands raised to kill; Forgotten, the shields that clashed and the arrows that cried so shrill. Like a story from some old book, that battle of long ago: Shadows, the poor French King and the might of his English foe; Shadows, the charging nobles, and the archers kneeling a-row - But aflame in my heart and my eyes, the Maid with her banner of snow!

Excerpt from The Maid Marvellous: Jeanne Darc Seven sponsors had the Child at her christening, while in big swelling words the priest bade the devils come out Of her, and the exorcisms were longer for a girl than for a boy, the Church mistrusting women. Thus they baptized her, and chose the name of Jehanne, after the loved apostle John and the seer of visions, yet in Lorraine She was always called Jeannette, Jeannette Darc, and sometimes Jeannette Romee, that being the fashion of the countryside.

Excerpt from The Maid of France: Being the Story of the Life and Death of Jeanne D'arc Jeanne d'Arc, during her nineteen years of life, was a cause of contention among her own countrymen, and her memory divides them to the present day. In her life she was of course detested as a witch and heretic by the French of the Burgundian faction. After her death, her memory was distasteful to all writers who disbelieved in her supernormal faculties, and in her inspiration. She had no business to possess faculties for which science could not account, and which common sense could not accept. To-day, the quarrel over her character and career is especially bitter. If the Church canonises her, the Church is said, by the "Anticlericals," to "confiscate" her, and to stultify itself. Her courage and her goodness of heart are denied by no man, but, as a set-off against the praises of the "clericals," and even of historians far from orthodox, her genius is denied, or is minimised; she is represented as a martyr, a heroine, a puzzle-pated hallucinated lass, a perplexed wanderer in a realm of dreams; the unconscious tool of fraudulent priests, herself once doubtfully honest, apt to tell great palpable myths to her own glorification, never a leader in war, but only a kind of mascotte a "little saint," and a beguine - in breeches! It has appeared to me that all these inconsistent views of the Maid, and several charges against her best friends, are mainly based on erroneous readings of the copious evidence concerning her; on mistakes in the translating of the very bad Latin of the documents, and, generally, are distorted by a false historical perspective, if not by an unconscious hostility, into the grounds of which we need not inquire.

Excerpt from Footsteps of Jeanne D'arc: A Pilgrimage Here the dead level of the north of Europe first breaks into the outlying billows which Nature has tossed into the petrified tempest Of the Alpine chain. The stately front of Rheims has reminded the traveller by train Of the heroine of the fifteenth century, and, with a pause Of pity for her fate, he passes on to some other drift of thought - to the risks to man in woman's suf frage, possibly. Before he dives deeper into this drift, it will do him no harm to rub up his recollections of Joan of Are, and to try if all the histories he has read have given her equal personality with the myths of early fable, or the beings of fiction created out of smoke. Though he may have a strong Opinion as to the nature of her Spiritual claims, he may find his conception of her character dim and broken as a reflection upon the surface of a ruffled lake, and his liveliest impression of her produced after all by actual pictures.

Excerpt from Jeanne d'Arc The first six chapters of Lamartine's "Jeanne d'Arc" were omitted from the first edition in the Pitt Press Series on account of the difficulties, philosophical and historical, which it was feared they would present to young pupils. As they form, however, a suitable introduction to the Life of Joan of Arc, shewing the state of society and the position of political parties at the time when she appeared on the scene, it has been deemed expedient to add them to the present edition, with explanatory notes.

Excerpt from Jeanne D'arc, the Maid of France Pagne, and Isabeau Romee, his wife, was born at Vouthon, a village across the hills to the west in the duchy of Bar. Among her people were a carpenter and a tiler, a brother and a nephew were in the church. There must have been a tradition of piety in the family, for the surname Rome'e was given to those who had made some famous pilgrimage, per haps as far as Rome; and Isabeau was a devout and energetic woman, with the will for holy j ourneyings, even if she herself had never taken the staff and shells. Five children were born to Jacques and Isabeau Jacquemin and Jean, Catherine, who died soon after her early marriage, Jeanne, and Pierre. The stone and plaster cottage of Jacques d'arc was separated from the church only by the graveyard, and his little plot of ground which was both garden and orchard. It was more splendid than many of its neighbors, for it had three or four rooms, and the cattle were not stabled under the roof. Near the entrance the inevitable great manure-heap was buttressed up for spring farming, and wood was stacked ready for fireplace and oven. In the living-room, to the left of the doorway, the low ceiling is crossed by oak dark with age, and by the great fireplace in the corner the lantern might be hung on a projecting beam, when daylight had faded from the one window. Here the father and mother had their cupboard bed, a few. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Everybody's Birthright: A Vision of Jeanne D' Arc The library was dark, and very still. The short autumn day had been a gray one and the Shadows, which had not been driven out of the corners Of the big room all day, came trooping forth unchallenged, and swathed it in deep duskiness by four O'clock. Some one came down the stairs, and back to the library door and looked in; then went away. Jean heard the footsteps, but did not raise her head. Then Hilda came through the dining-room and into the hall, to light the electric lamps. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
