Excerpt from The International Library of Famous Literature, Vol. 20 of 20: Selections From the World's Great Writers, Ancient, With and Modern, With Notes, Graphical and Explanatory Notes and With Introductions Somebody called for cigars. We all instinctively looked towards the speaker. Brisbane was a man of five and thirty years of age, and remarkable for those gifts which chiefly attract the attention of men. He was a strong man. The external proportions of his figure presented nothing extraordinary to the common eye, though his size was above the average. He was a little over six feet in height, and moderately broad in the shoulder; he did not appear to be stout, but, on the other hand, he was certainly not thin; his small head was supported by a strong and sinewy neck; his broad, muscular hands appeared to possess a peculiar skill in breaking walnuts without the assistance of the ordinary cracker, and, seeing him in profile, one could not help remarking the extraordinary breadth of his sleeves, and the unusual thickness of his chest.

Excerpt from The International Library of Famous Literature, Vol. 4 of 20: Selections From the World's Great Writers, Ancient, Medieval, and Modern, With Biographical and Explanatory Notes and Critical Essays by Many Eminent Writers At the' bottom of the German heart there is a good deal of senti mentality: This feeling, which makes us so fond of singing and music, of intimate family life and cheerful conviviality, has given to our literature a peculiar flavour, a popular turn, an inclination to what moves the soul of the peasant and the labourer - sometimes indeed, at the cost of realistic incident or refined form. But out of this prevailing level of literary cottage-life there rises from time to time a bold fabric of intellect, aspiring to the mystical and the metaphysical. In the act of rearing such a structure the German mind has been used to exert all its original power, and then to abandon itself for a while to rest or distraction. In consequence we have had, in the course of centuries, several striking Bluthe perioden, but not that almost unbroken continuity of fine literature that England has enjoyed from the time of Chaucer to the present day.

Excerpt from The International Library of Famous Literature, Vol. 2 of 20: Selections From the World's Great Writers Ancient, Medieval, and Modern, With Biographical and Explanatory Notes and Critical Essays by Many Eminent Writers This is not the introduction to a book, or even to a series of books: one might call it rather an introduction to Literature itself - or to a goodly portion of that vast literary tide drift of the centuries, which certain honest purveyors and explorers have here brought to shore, and spread out in cleanly type, for whosoever will - to read, to ponder, and enjoy. From earliest recorded times there has lived a disposition to engarland together songs that have touched the heart chants that have wakened valor - fables that have exploited truth - maxims that have worded justice. There was reason enough for this before yet printing or types were known, and when some Homer - whose notes we shall find by and by, a-thrill along these pages - lifted up his voice to gathering crowds. That he might bring together his chants, and the chants of many another, to round out the composite tales about Troy, Helen, and Agamemnon.
