Excerpt from Memoir and Remains, Vol. 2 of 2 Regarding the style of the book, no words of praise seem excessive for its finish and pre cision. It is written with singular quietude, with the most entire negation of the merely rhetorical; but each word, each phrase, is selected with perfect judgment, is the fittest that could be found for the expression of the thought which it carries. Evidently this strange and beautiful book is one to whose production many hours Of patient labour have been unsparingly given, - and given wisely, for they have turned it into an exquisitely polished work of art.

Excerpt from Memoir and Remains, Vol. 1 of 2 This little book is the outcome of a desire on the part of his friends for some per manent memorial of thelife and work of one who was not only regarded by them with feelings of high esteem, but whose attractive personality inspired warm affec tion in those who knew him best. The few pages which deal with his biography are the brief record of a career cut short before it had attained the plenitude of its power: still, there was more than promise; there was performance of a very substantial kind, performance which would certainly have led to wider recognition and higher preferment had life been spared.

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.

Excerpt from Memoir, Letters, and Remains of Alexis De Tocqueville, Vol. 2 of 2 Mt Dear Sir, I have examined your criticisms with all the impartiality of which an author is capable. Some seemed to me to be well founded, and all in the kindest spirit. I will make a single objection. It is this: you suppose my view of the prospects of democracy to be more gloomy than it is. If my expectations were what you believe them to be, you would be right in thinking that there is some contradiction between them and my recommendations, which tend in fact towards the progressive development of democracy. I have endeavoured, it is true, to describe the natural tendency of opinions and institutions in a democratic society. I have pointed out the dangers to which it exposes men. But I have never said that these tendencies, if discovered in time, might not be resisted, and these dangers, if foreseen, averted.

Excerpt from My Memoirs, Vol. 2 England hoped to overwhelm our country with the Russian steam-roller, whilst the Franco-Anglo-Belgian army brought ours to a standstill, and intended then to stop the war if the danger arose of the Russians winning too big a victory. The enemy assumed that Italy's secession would upset our calculations and cancel our numerical superiority in the west during the decisive weeks. The enemy's well-founded hopes of victory were disappointed by the way in which our military machine did its work and the speed with which we seized Belgium. The Russian masses did what could be expected of them. But they had the misfortune soon to stumble across great generals, who, favoured by the luck of battle, brought out by magnificent man uvres the best qualities of our nation in arms. The Schlieffen plan of attacking France through Belgium was intended to stave off from Germany the first vital danger.

Excerpt from A Memoir of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Vol. 2 of 2 At the time of the Divinity Hall address, Emerson, as I said, was intending to lecture, the next winter, in Boston; and he persevered, though he expected that his audience would be small. When the lectures began, however, in December, there was no appearance of any deterrent effect from the address. "The lecturing [he writes to his brother William] thrives. The good city is more placable than it was represented, and forgives, like Burke, much to the spirit of liberty." The attendance was large, and of the same class of persons as before, most of them, no doubt, Liberal Christians, but of a liberality that was not disturbed by his departure from the Cambridge platform. They came, as Mr. Lowell says, to hear Emerson, not to hear his opinions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
