Further Memories Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Further Memories Meanwhile, during the early months of 1915 in London, he had plenty of employment in finishing and revising his Memories, which it had taken him two years to write. This was an occupation which bridged over the horrid chasm between his old active life in London, with its thousand interests, and the uncertain and partly dreaded prospect of an exile in the bamboo gardens Of a remote corner of Gloucestershire, where his deafness must needs exclude him from the old activities of local life.

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.

Excerpt from Memories of the Months I feel inclined to ask the printer to use red ink for the introduction to this volume, as serving to indicate how I blush at my temerity in laying before a too indulgent public a fifth bundle of these desultory notes. Nobody can be more conscious than myself of their ephemeral quality; but the public has itself to blame, if blame there be, because of the encouragement it has shown me to give a more or less permanent form to fleeting impressions, and to prose about matters one cannot but notice in moving through our beautiful land.

Excerpt from The Garden of Memories The tall hollyhocks that cast wavering blue shadows on the white stone pathway nod to one another in the breeze, nod, it seems, knowingly, for from the pathway one may see into the pleasant room where the spinet and its fair player are and seeing these may also see the handsome figure of the Captain, who leans upon the spinet, the better to see into those bright eyes that have brought him home to Eng land and Sussex from across the seas, though at this time in the service of his Grace the Captain General there is much to be done and much to be won.

Excerpt from A Bundle of Memories Since this book was put into the hands of the printer, as month by month the national anxiety has deepened, Dr. Holland felt that its publication would appear sadly incongruous in the face of the present realities. The chapters were, however, all written and the book planned long before the war, and, as many readers were already expecting the volume, the Publishers - believing that the memory of the quiet dead may help to relieve the strain of living - have obtained Dr. Holland's consent to issue the book with this note.

Excerpt from Dreams and Memories Ries, until, by the time Burns appeared, Scot land, and almost every Scottish heart, were curiously divided into two imperfectly related societies. On the one hand was an ascetic dis dain of luxury, pomp, art, and even the com forts and amenities of existence; on the other hand an eager joy in life. There were not a few generous and ample souls in whom a love of spiritual perfection mingled harmoniously with a more instinctive acceptance of things as they are; but the tendency was to go to ex tremes. Many Of the strongest natures in Scot tish history were either fanatics or sensualists, either austerely self-repressed or fiercely self willed.

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.
