DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Humanities fellow Wil Haygood comes a mesmerizing inquiry into the life of Eugene Allen, the butler who ignited a nation's imagination and inspired a major motion picture: The Butler: A Witness to History, the highly anticipated film that stars six Oscar winners, including Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey (honorary and nominee), Jane Fonda, Cuba Gooding Jr., Vanessa Redgrave, and Robin Williams; as well as Oscar nominee Terrence Howard, Mariah Carey, John Cusack, Lenny Kravitz, James Marsden, David Oyelowo, Alex Pettyfer, Alan Rickman, and Liev Schreiber. With a foreword by the Academy Award nominated director Lee Daniels, The Butler not only explores Allen's life and service to eight American Presidents, from Truman to Reagan, but also includes an essay, in the vein of James Baldwin’s jewel The Devil Finds Work, that explores the history of black images on celluloid and in Hollywood, and fifty-seven pictures of Eugene Allen, his family, the presidents he served, and the remarkable cast of the movie.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Memoir of Arthur John Butler I was correcting the last proofs of this Memoir, and had almost reached the moment of marking them for press, when news came that the friend was dead to whom they should have been posted - Mr. Reginald Smith, k.c head of the publishing house of Messrs. Smith, Elder Co. The book, up to then, had required no Preface. All who helped us to write it helped in affection for Butler's memory; the mere mention of their names, as they occur in the following pages, carries its implication of gratitude and the adviser who stood behind us would have depre cated being thanked in a Preface.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Life and Letters of William John Butler, Late Dean of Lincoln and Sometime Vicar of Wantage: With Portraits The late Dean of Lincoln was one of those whose lives seem especially to call for some record. That few men, certainly few men as uncompromising, have ever won more affection from their fellows, will be acknowledged by all who were present when he was laid to rest under the shadow of Lincoln Minster, and saw that vast building filled from end to end with mourners and sympathizers, the greater part of them being citizens of a city to which, less than nine years before, he had come as a total stranger. At the same time, few men who have done so much work in their lives have been less known by name to what is called the 'general public. On both accounts therefore, that those who knew and loved him might have some per manent memorial of him, and that the record of a strenuous life in which Englishmen even of widely different schools of thought cannot fail to find a stimulus, might be made known to many who never felt its direct influence, it was thought that a memoir of him might without presumption take.
