Excerpt from Memoirs, Journal, and Correspondence of Thomas Moore, Vol. 2 I did not intend to have any communication with you till Friday, but as I have been requested by the Coopers to send the inclosed, I must give you the trouble of for warding them; and I think I shall not inflict another packet on my friend Lord Glenbervie till this day week, when you shall have the two jobs of the present week. I was very much delighted to receive your two last letters, though I did not answer the one about your excursion to France so soon as you seemed to wish, concluding that there is as yet no hurry, though certainly I have no doubt of a peace taking place very soon, and then, my dear sir, after I have seen my poor Bessy safe over her July production, I shall be at your command for a short musical trip at a day's notice: besides the pleasure of our being together, I think it is quite necessary for you to have some one with you that speaks French, and I have but little doubt that we shall make the excursion tell.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs, Vol. 2 of 2 There was a morning paper in Philadelphia which grieved me sore by pilfering my news items as I wrote them. SO I one day gave a marvellous account of the great Volatile Chelidonian or Flying Turtle of Surinam, of which a specimen had just arrived in New York. It had a shell as of diamonds blent with emeralds and rubies, and bat-like wings of iridescent hue surpassing the opal, and a tail like a serpent. Our contemporary, nothing doubting, at once published this as original matter in a letter from New York, and had to bear the responsibility. But I did not invest my inventiveness wisely; I should have shared the idea with Barnum. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Correspondence of Henry Reeve, C. B., D. C. L, Vol. 2 of 2 How far the murderous attempt of Orsini, on January 14th, 1858, was connected with the political relations of France and Italy it is as yet impossible to say. It was, and still is, very commonly believed that in his youth Louis Napoleon had been affiliated to one or other of the secret societies of Italy, that he was still pledged to this, was bound to obey its orders; and that Orsini was an agent to remind him that the attainment of high rank, far from releasing him from the bond, rendered it more stringent, as giving him greater power and facility for carrying out the orders he received. The independence Of Italy was aimed at; and it had been intimated to the Emperor that Orsini's was only the first of similar messages which, if action was not taken, would be followed by a second, with greater care to ensure its delivery.

Excerpt from Letters Memories, Vol. 2 of 2 I am very sorry for what you say about my not writing any thing startling because it shows that you are beginning to judge me in part upon the reports of others. There are some people whom I must startle, if I am to do any good But to startle the majority of good and sensible men, or to startle, so as to disgust at once a majority Of any sort, are things which I most earnestly should wish to avoid. At the same time, I do strongly Object on principle to the use of that glozing, unnatural, and silly language (for so it is in us now), which men use one after another till it becomes as worn as one Of the Old shillings. - dr.

Excerpt from Journals and Correspondence of Thomas Sedgewick Whalley, D. D., Of Mendip Lodge, Somerset, Vol. 2 of 2: Edited, With a Memoir and Illustrative Notes My bookseller informed me, soon after the delivery of the books according to your direction, that the Milk-woman's Poems were not to be had at that period, being out of print. My opinion is in general yours upon that brilliant mischief, the Essay on Old Maids, at least in point of morality and generosity, both which I think it lamentably violates; but in ability I set it higher than you seem to do - indeed I think it has the wit and spirit of Voltaire's most brilliant compositions; and I find the pathos of Sterne in several of the beautiful little stories of the first volume. I shed rivers of tears over the history of poor Constantia, and her lacerated feelings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Journals and Correspondence of Lady Eastlake, Vol. 2 of 2 Paris, Sept. R6.-to-day we drove to the Hotel de Ville, one of the most exquisite buildings I have seen, in form, decoration, and colour; a monument of real art - every window and door way a picture, and the very knockers of Medusa heads worthy of Leonardo da Vinci. Louis Philippe completed the place in exquisite style. Then we passed by the new barracks of the Im perial Guard, built by Louis Napoleon 'de pierre et de fer - no other materials. Here the tele graph wires, which fly high in the air from the Tuileries and every other imperial building, are sufficiently significant of perpetual vigilance but under the ground other works were going on, more significant still. Louis Napoleon is having subterranean passages made from the principal barracks to the Tuileries, so that the soldiers may pass instantly to him, and also, as our coach man said, pour que la famille impériale puisse se sauver quand on attaque le chateau des Tuileries.' It is thus that the beloved and chosen of the people is providing for his safety against them - and small blame to him.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of Joseph John Gurney, Vol. 1 of 2: With Selections From His Journal and Correspondence When, towards the close of the year 1849, I was requested by the widow and family of Joseph John Gurney to undertake the editing of a Memoir of his Life, I naturally shrank from so responsible a task. Little as I felt myself qualified successfully to pourtray the varied features of such a character, I could not but recollect that nearly three years had already elapsed since his decease; and that, with the very limited leisure which I could command, amidst the pressure of professional and other duties, my engaging in the work would necessarily postpone its appearance several years longer. Finding, however, that, notwithstanding these difficulties, it was still the decided wish of those most nearly connected with the subject of this Memoir that I should undertake the work, I finally concluded to engage in it, though under a deep sense of my own want of qualification.
