Excerpt from Literary Lapses When I go into a bank I get rattled. The clerks rattle me; the wickets rattle me; the sight of the money rattles me; everything rattles me. The moment I cross the threshold of a bank and attempt to transact business there, I become an irresponsible idiot. I knew this beforehand, but my salary had been raised to fifty dollars a month and I felt that the bank was the only place for it. So I shambled in and looked timidly round at the clerks. I had an idea that a person about to open an account must needs consult the manager. I went up to a wicket marked "Accountant." The accountant was a tall, cool devil. The very sight of him rattled me. My voice was sepulchral. "Can I see the manager?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Lapse of Memory, and Other Stories "What is wrong?" the young man asked hurriedly, putting his head out of the carriage window as the conveyance came suddenly to a standstill. The driver had pulled his steaming horses almost on their flanks, and then sat listening with close attention to some distant sound. The evening was advanced, and they had been driving rapidly along the lonely high-road in the hope of reaching their destination ere it got late. For a moment there was no reply, and he impatiently repeated his enquiry. The man responded slowly in the French dialect, as spoken by the people in the South of France.

Excerpt from My Ivory Cellar: The Story of Time-Lapse Photography Shortly after making my first automatic timer and completing several time-lapse sequences of common garden flowers, I began thinking about writing a book on the subject of time-lapse photography. However, there were at that time several minor problems to be ironed out before I could give all the answers, but as each solved problem would create a bigger one, this project was temporarily postponed.

It was finished. Ruin had come. Lord Oxhead sat gazing fixedly at the library fire. Without the wind soughed (or sogged) around the turrets of Oxhead Towers the seat of the Oxhead family. But the old earl heeded not the sogging of the wind around his seat. He was too absorbed.

Excerpt from History of Prose Fiction, Vol. 1 The value of Dunlop's "History of Fiction," now again, after a long lapse of years, placed within reach of the English reader, needs no demonstration; it is amply attested by the numerous quotations from and references to it in all works, even of the most recent date, upon the history of imaginative literature. The explorations in the field of the genesis and genealogy of fiction have, indeed, recently attained such extensive development that probably no single writer could now be found bold enough to review such a vast domain as forms the scope of Dunlop's undertaking. Writing at a period when comparatively little had been done in the ground he occupied, Dunlop was sensible of the magnitude of his task, and found it expedient to keep it within practicable compass by confining his attention to works in prose - a limitation, however, as need hardly be said, altogether artificial in tracing the evolutions of fictive composition, which passes, according to certain social conditions and by laws which might almost be determined, from verse to prose, and again from the latter to the metrical form. In the domain of letters, as of material industries, increase of labour begets its subdivision and specialization.

Excerpt from Mr. Waddy's Return The author did not live to revise the original draft of Mr. Waddy's Return, and therefore, when his other novels were published, shortly after his death, this one was not included. On looking it over again, after the lapse of years, it seemed to his sister, Miss Elizabeth W. Winthrop, too good to let die; and it was placed in the hands of Mr. Stevenson to give it such revision and condensation as it may be presumed that the author, had he lived, would have given it himself.

Excerpt from Lectures on the History of Literature To each lecture its date is here prefixed. As few changes as possible have been made in the way of correction. Slips concerning statements capable of verification and obviously due to momentary lapses of attention on the part of the reporter have in various cases been rectified. It must be remembered that Carlyle appears in our pages not as a writer but as a speaker. So, in estimating some doubtful locutions, it seemed best to follow the safe guide of analogy offered by the author's well-known Lectures on Heroes and Hero Worship, delivered in the same place, only two years later than the present course.
