Excerpt from Harper's New Monthly Magazine, 1882, Vol. 26 The first room into which we were introduced was the draughting-room - the spot where all the plans, elevations, maps, and general work of an architectural or topographical nature is executed. This room, though entirely essential to the works, not coming strictly under the head of gas, did not elicit my young friend's admiration.

Excerpt from Harper's New Monthly Magazine, Vol. 19: June, 1859 Philadelphia, dated December 10, 1813, public attention is called to a project for connecting that city with New York by railway, and, after describing several plans for laying the proposed track, Mr. Evans thus concludes I renew my proposition, viz as soon as either of these plans shall be adopted, after having made the necessary experiments to prove the principles, and having obtained the necessary legislative protection and patronage, I am willing to take of the stock five hundred dollars per mile, to the distance of fifty or sixty miles, payable in steam-carriages or steam-engines, invented by me for the purpose forty years ago, and will warrant them to answer to the satisfaction of the stockholders, and even to make the steam-stages run twelve or fifteen miles per hour, or take back the engines at my own expense if required.

Excerpt from Harper's New Monthly Magazine, Vol. 42: December, 1870 to May, 1871 That doves might find a safe resort In the embrasures of every fort! But the people go even further than the poet. It is not in the nature of the American people to be content with the idleness Of any element of power. NO sooner was our late war ended and peace declared than, as will be remembered, the people demanded that the war forces should be utilized, not merely re duced. W'ithout ceasing to love peace, or for getting to be grateful to the soldiers and sail ors who maintained the unity of the nation, the American people insisted that peace should not be a wholly idle season, and that the army and navy Should be employed, not merely in pre venting possible mischief, but in performing positive good. They would not wish a single veteran dismissed unwillingly - their deep sense of gratitude prohibits that; and, in spite of all that has been said and written by partisans for political effect, there is no authenticated in stance Of government neglect of its veteran soldiers and sailors. The people can not con sent to see a single navy - yard dismantled use lessly - their sense Of economy prohibits that; and all that has been published in the papers, all that has been said in Congress of reduction and economy, expresses simply the earnest de sire Of the people that in peace army and navy and armories and navy-yards shall be utilized. Very earnest at present is this demand with respect to the navy and the navy-yards and Stations. The latest national experience has demonstrated that, though we possibly have too large a navy and too many naval stations for peace, we have too few ships and not enough dock-yards for time Of war such as the nation has lately passed through. The assertion will not be disputed that, but for the then - existing navy-yards of the North, there could have been no blockade Of the Southern ports completed and recognized as effective before the end Of 1861. Shall a power such as this, though de veloped by war, be destroyed in peace? It is not against our present argument to admit, as the rebels claimed at the time, that the sur render Of the extensive naval depot at Norfolk, with its immense supplies Of munitions of war, gave the Confederates their means Of resist ance. Better to utilize for the purposes Of peace than to destroy such agencies as these. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Harper's New Monthly Magazine, Vol. 13: June to November, 1856 I was privileged to peep into Portfolio's sketch-book on his return, and found it filled with views of places rather than of characters. Only one sketch of life at the Springs attracted my special attention. It was drawn: hastily from life with a dull pencil, and, as Portfolio observed, with a duller pen. It was a scene at the Lower Spring at drinking-time - the stated hour when omnibuses and coaches came from the village filled with the imbibers and bathers. At this hour scenes often occurred which would. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Harper's Monthly Magazine, Vol. 108: December, 1903 You can see by these things that she was of a rather vain and frivolous char acter; still, she had virtues, and enough to make up, I think. She had a kind heart and gentle ways, and never har bored resentments for injuries done her, but put them easily out of her mind and forget them; and she taught her children her kindly way, and from her we learned also to be brave and prompt in time of danger, and not to run away, but face the peril that threatened friend or stranger, and help him the best we could without stopping to think what the cost might be to us. And she taught us not by words only, but by example, and that is the best way and the surest and the most lasting. Why, the brave things shedid, the splen did things! She was just a soldier; and so modest about it - well, you couldn't help admiring her, and You couldn't help im itating her; not even a King Charles spaniel could remain entirely despicable in her society. So, as you see, there was more to her than her education. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
