Excerpt from My Beloved South Wandering minstrel I, a thing of shreds and patches. My book is but a reflection of myself; its sole recommendation, - that my bale of cotton grew under warm sunshine, and every thread spun and woven into material is from the old and new South. I have gathered me a posy of other men's thoughts, only the thread that holds them together is mine. Some of the stories have even been told before, but they belong to me by right of inheritance and Love, so may I not tell them again? After many years of absence, when the riches and abundance of my country were displayed to me, it was my ambition to write an informing, practical, statistical book. Such a one as would induce English settlers to set sail for the Southern States. There, English tradi tion, an ever-green, would extend a fraternal welcome, and with a small capital, or even none at all, except health and strong hands, a Home awaits them. But my frank friends discouraged this undertaking. There are so many writers, they said, who know more of the progress, resources, and wealth of the country than you possibly can know. The most you can hope to do, is to make an entertaining South. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Old Country: A Book of Love Praise of England Another moment he is joining in a chorus with hundreds of his fellow-soldiers: - "Hi-tiddly-hi-ti - take me back to Blighty!" Then his thoughts fly off on another tack, for he is fed up with the war, and he recalls what he has seen in the past few days - villages as sweet as any at home ravaged and destroyed. He thinks of the cruel rapine and outrage, and he sets his teeth and determines to see it through; to do his bit, that the homeland may be spared. Yes, that little brown hut with the Red Triangle on the roof is a link with the Old Country; the letters written therein, with the Red Triangle on the paper, bring joy into thousands of homes every day. And what of the future? When the Boys come home, assuredly they will look for the sigh they have learnt to love and honour. We know that, by the long queue waiting outside headquarters every morning - men discharged from the Army or Navy who are in search of employment. The question is often asked: "What are you going to do with your huts after the war?" The answer comes clearly in one's day-dreams. One thinks of a big Triangle hut, doing good service to-day on some common, - removed when the war is over to some carefully selected site in rural England and adapted to meet the needs of village life. A Red Triangle Club-house would be a perfect boon to many a village we know, and would put an end to that deathly-dullness so many town dwellers regard as inseparable from country life.

Excerpt from The Boy's and Girl's Country Book: With Illustrations I don't like that plan of getting the at tention of children. When I was a boy, I sometimes had it tried on me, and I did not relish it at all. To be sure, I never heard just these words used. They were very different words, in fact. But when we children came to translate the words into our own language, We could not very well help giving them such a mean ing. They certainly seemed to imply as much, if not more.

Excerpt from The Country Gentleman, Vol. 2 of 3 That evening the two girls sat rather later than usual in Lady Agnes' dressing-room, discussing the wonders and beauties of Dropmore, as well as the courteous conduct of its owner. "Really Edith," remarked Lady Agnes, "Mr. Chetwynd is exceedingly good looking and entertaining, beyond any person I know; and his house fit for the reception of a princess.

Excerpt from My Second Country The title of this book has not been chosen at random: it is literally true. France has been my home for more than twelve years, but it was already my second country long before I went to live there. Indeed I cannot remember a time when France had not a large place in my affections. Among my earliest recollections are the pictures of the Franco German War of 1870 in the bound volumes of the Illustrated London News which we had at home. Perhaps my elders who showed and explained the pictures to me were themselves Francophile; they must have been, or how should I at that early age have been filled, as I was, with enthusiasm for the cause of France and indignation at the wrongs that she had suffered? Later on Victor Hugo and Swinburne intensified my love and admiration for France and gave it a more reasoned basis; France became for me the country of the Revolution, the symbol of democracy and republicanism. Since then my opinions on almost every subject have Changed more than once, as must the opinions of any man that has lived more than fifty years in this world, unless his existence has been that of a vegetable, but the enthusiasm for revolutionary and republican France has never changed or diminished.

Excerpt from Love of Country: A Lecture Delivered at the Woolwich Institution "Breathes there a man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own my native land Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd As home his footsteps he hath turn'd, From wandering on a foreign strand If such there breathe, go, mark him well; For him no minstrel raptures swell; High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth, as wish can claim; Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentrate all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust, from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonour'd and unsung." Scott. Amid the infinite variety of subjects which attract the attention of the student of humanity, there are none so pleasing as the study of the finer emotions of the soul. It is curious and instructive in the highest degree, to watch the process by which a feeling is converted into a passion, or by which a sentiment originally pure and holy, becomes tainted and corrupt under the influence of a baneful atmosphere.

Excerpt from Eben Holden: A Tale of the North Country This book has grown out of such enforced leisure as one may find in a busy life. Chap ters begun in the publicity of a Pullman car have been finished in the cheerless solitude of a hotel chamber. Some have had their begin ning in a sleepless night and their end in a day of bronchitis. A certain pious farmer in the north country when, like Agricola, he was about to die, requested the doubtful glory of this epitaph: He was a poor sinner, but he done his best. Save for the fact that I am an excellent sinner, in a literary sense, the words may stand for all the apology I have to make. The characters were mostly men and women I have known and who left with me a love of my kind that even a wide experience with knavery and misfortune has never dissipated.

Excerpt from Adventures of a Country Boy All good men love children, but my father not only loved, he respected them. This respect which he had for children was, I think, the secret of his power over them, which was quite as remarkable as his literary success in writing for them. In a true sense it might be said that he treated children as his equals, not through any device or from any scheme, but spontaneously and naturally.

Caro, gallant and adventurous, is one of two Australian sisters who have come to post-war England to seek their fortunes. Courted long and hopelessly by young scientist, Ted Tice, she is to find that love brings passion, sorrow, betrayal and finally hope. The milder Grace seeks fulfilment in an apparently happy marriage. But as the decades pass and the characters weave in and out of each other's lives, love, death and two slow-burning secrets wait in ambush for them.
