Excerpt from Representative Narratives The compiler of this volume realizes that there would seem to be little excuse for adding to the number of similar collections already in existence; and yet he has brought the following pages together in response to the demands of the classroom. Other compilations are based largely on the historical development of the short story or upon the various characteristics of the short story as a distinct literary type. The purpose of this volume is to present types of narrative structure, without regard to the problem of literary evolution. The matter of setting, of characterization, of plot, of dialogue has been the fundamental consideration guiding the choice of specimens.

Excerpt from The English Novel Before the Nineteenth Century: Excerpts From Representative Types The introduction is not intended as an epitomized history of English fiction, but simply as a convenient guide to be used in connection with the excerpts in placing them historically and in showing what they illustrate technically. In regard to the particular excerpts made, it may be said that the editors, while realizing the place in the growth of the novel of such contributary forms as the tale in all periods, the char acter-writing and epistolary narratives of the seventeenth, and the narrative essays of the eighteenth, century, felt that to increase the illustration with such material would be to exceed the limits of a single volume; therefore it seemed wiser to keep to the main channel of development.

Excerpt from Fall River: An Authentic Narrative There is another way too, in which it is hoped and pre sumed this work may prove useful -as a salutary and time ly warning to young women in the same situation in life, in which the ill fated girl was placed, who is the subject of this narrative. On many accounts it may benefit. That baneful disposition to rove, to keep moving from place to place, which has been the ruin of so many, will here receive a check. And what is more important still - though an extremely difiicwtsubject to treat upon so as to be understood-they will be warn ed, by the fate of one, against that idolatrous regard for min isters, for preachers of the gospel, which at the present day is a scandal to the cause of Christianity; which neither honors God or benefits his church; and certainly is calculated to bring reproach and ridicule on the christian character. To venerate the ambassador of the Most High, and listen to him with respect, while in the sacred discharge of his ministerial duties, is right and proper to contribute to his relief in'sick ness and support in health, of our abundance, or our personal exertion, if necessary, is likewise our duty; but here let us stop, and not make ourselves, and the cause we profess to be engaged in, ridiculous, by such attentions as mortal man ought never to receive.

Excerpt from The Rebellion Record, Vol. 2: A Diary of American Events, With Documents, Narratives, Illustrative Incidents, Poetry, Etc House of Representatives. This is a direct result of the triumph of Manassas. We have converted near one-third of the United States House of Representatives from the error of their warlike ways by the powerful display of our ability to conquer a peace. We first asked peace. It was refused. Now we will conquer it. We have conquered one-third of it already. Another great victory like, or even less than that of Manassas, and we shall conquer another third - the two-thirds including all the common sense men of the North, who will be brought to conversion: and the outside third, the radical abolition fanatics, will alone remain, the de spised minority of their countrymen, who will rule them out of voice in the Government. Let us wait, and hope, and fight, as if we had still three-thirds to conquer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Beyond Representation surveys Chinese painting and calligraphy from the eighth to the fourteenth century, a period during which Chinese society and artistic expression underwent profound changes. A fourteenth-century Yuan dynasty (1279 - 1368) literati landscape painting presents a world that is totally different from that portrayed in the monumental landscape images of the early Sung dynasty (960 - 1279). To chronicle and explain the evolution from formal representation to self-expression is the purpose of this book. Wen C. Fong, one of the world's most eminent scholars of Chinese art, takes the reader through this evolution, drawing on the outstanding collection of Chinese painting and calligraphy in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Focusing on 118 works, each illustrated in full color, the book significantly augments the standard canon of images used to describe the period, enhancing our sense of the richness and complexity of artistic expression during this six-hundred-year era.
Excerpt from Pictorial Narratives On the next Sabbath Mr. Gordon called on him in the afternoon, and asked him to accompany him to the Lock, where he was going to hear a celebrated preacher. He took an early cup of tea with his friend, and they left together. As they were passing through St. J ames's Park, who should they meet but Mr. Phillips, (the Other clerk in the oflice, ) in company with three ladies. The interview appeared accidental and as Mr. Phillips pressed his friends to do him and the ladies the honor of their company, polite ness induced a compliance, andthe whole party took an excursion on the water. They did not return till late and it was past twelve before Lewellin reached his lodgings. As soon as he entered the parlor he made an apology for being so late; and to avoid being embarrassed by any questions, he took his candle, and retired to his own room.
