Excerpt from The Confessions of an Elderly Lady I have but one consolation for the degeneracy of the age, and that consists in the conviction that few records of it will descend to posterity. People seem to loose all respect for the past; events succeed each other with such velocity that the most remarkable one of a few years gone by, is no more remembered than if centuries had closed over it. The present race seem to think only of the actual minute. They are pro digals, who give no thought to their predecessors, and no care to their successors. People were not thus heartless in my youthful days - but every thing is changed! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Confessions of an Elderly Gentleman: Illustrated by Six Female Portraits, From Highly Finished Drawings by E. T. Parris I returned to England after many long and weary years of absence, rather worse in health than when I left it; as the incursions made on my already debilitated constitution, bv undue heat, unlooked for winds, and unwholesome diet, instead of retarding, tended to advance, the effects of that cruel enemy, Time. Wine too sour to admit of its copious use, food too insipid to induce even a gourmand, much less an epi cure, to commit an' excess, enforce the adoption of temperance on those who are the most opposed to it; and this virtue, so seldom practised at home.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1838 edition. Excerpt: ... breast, a treasured miniature carefully concealed from prying eyes. "Yes," replied he, " I have an admirable resemblance of her, which you shall see, and which has never left my breast since I lost her, until you, fair and dear Arabella, listened to my suit." I involuntarily placed my hand within his, at this acknowledgement; for I felt grateful for the delicacy of the renunciation of the portrait. Nay, in consideration of it I almost forgave the warmth of his praises of her; foiv slight as the circumstance was, it made a great impression on me. The next day, he brought the miniature, and though I had been prepared to expect beauty of no ordinary kind, I confess that the extreme loveliness of the portrait surprised--ay, and shall I own the truth ?--displeased me. If I had previously indulged a jealousy of the fair Lucinda, what were my jealous pangs now, that I beheld the radiant beauty of her face. The artist had caught the almost seraphic expression of her countenance, that fine and elevated expression, where the purity of the angel seems to have already descended on the suffering saint. It wanted only a halo round the head, to be one of the best personifications of a martyred saint ascending to heaven; and I, even /, could not repress the tear that fell on the crystal that covered it, though the source whence it sprang was not free from alloy. This apparen. sympathy, while it rendered me dearer to Lord Clydesdale, lured him into a still more frequent recurrence to the object of his first love. He judged more favourably of me than I deserved, in imputing to me a freedom from that envy, and jealousy, from which so few of my sex are exempt; and I had not courage to risk the forfeiture of this good opinion, by acknowledging how little it...

Excerpt from The Little Old Lady HE little old lady sat rather primly in her easy chair. Her face with its sharp, fine lines, her beautiful white hair, her eyes which could yet flash with a vital luster, and the quiet charm of her gown, made her an arresting figure. She clearly had come out of another age into this. But she did not simply suggest lavender and old lace. She seemed very much at home in the world of to-day. There was a shrewd alertness about her which suggested that not much of significance escaped her scrutiny. And withal there was a sympathetic kindliness in her expression which made you feel at once that she was the sort of person to be a human shelter in a time of storm.
