Book Description
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."

Book Description
Excerpt from Some Memories of My Life As the history of any period, in order to be of interest and value, must embrace not only its public events, but a great variety of social, industrial and political features illustrative of its life, it is of ad vantage to him who would write it to gather all the material of the latter kind within his reach when preparing his work. Even the reminiscences of one whose individual life contains nothing of value may be useful for such a purpose. I have written some of mine on that assumption, and not because they contain any unusual or impor tant facts, or literary merit. While there has been a large increase of biograph ical and auto-biographical writing of late years the previous lack of it in North Carolina has been keenly felt by all who have undertaken to preserve the story of her civilization.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from A New Medley of Memories One is rather treading on eggshells When printing impressions of events and persons so near our own time. But I trust that there is nothing unkind in these more recent memories, any more than in the former. There should not be; for I have experienced little but kindness during a now long life; and I approach the Psalmist's limit of days With only grateful sentiments towards the many friends Who have helped to make that life a happy as well as a varied one.

Book Description
Excerpt from Some Memories and Reflections Now the reason that I place Emma Eames first in this magnificent group Of sopranos is because she had everything. She had a noble physique, ravishing beauty Of face and expression, and a voice of appar ently unlimited power and freshness. I liked her best as Marguerite and as Elsa, where the simplicity and austerity inherited from a long line Of Puritan auces tors gave her a serene and statuesque splendour that I could not forget if I tried.
