The spirit of the occasion and whatever impressions are recorded in one's mind under that heading, concerns ... Read more

  • Memories and Portraits

    by Robert Louis Stevenson ...
    Memoirs by the author of Treasure Island. He explains at the beginning: "This volume of papers, unconnected as they are, it will be better to read through from the beginning, rather than dip into at random.

  • The Spirit of Place and Other Essays

    by Alice Christiana Thompson Meynell ...

  • Hearts of Controversy

    by Alice Meynell ...
    Fifty years after Tennyson's birth he was saluted a great poet by that unanimous acclamation which includes mere clamour. Fifty further years, and his centenary was marked by a new detraction.
