Excerpt from Fifty Years' Recollections, Literary and Personal, With Observations on Men and Things, Vol. 1 of 3 Nature remains the same, whatever be the changes in shape of the foolscap man may wear. The site of my birth-place is on the side of a well-wooded creek. There the climate permits the myrtle and japonica to luxuriate in the soft and balmy air; while, at no great distance, an orange-tree has blossomed in an open garden for many years unsheltered. A sweetly sequestered church, of ancient construction, its burial-ground over shadowed by venerable trees, stands hard by, on the verge of an arm of the sea, the whole exhibiting a scene of tranquil beauty, so sweet that the dead seem to invite the stranger from the tumult of a distempered existence to an unwonted serenity of repose.

Excerpt from Recollections I was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in the year 1841, on a lovely Sunday morning, June thirteenth, so you see I was destined never to become a great person, for it was under the sign of Gemini, and the twins are so jealous (castor and Pollox) the moment the one sees one of their own rising the other pulls him down, so one born in Gemini never or almost never reaches to great heights; but greatness does not always make for happiness, and most of the Gemini children are happy, - indeed persons born under this sign of the zodiac have a great many fine traits; altogether I have always loved being born in June, the month of long days full of sunshine, the loveliest flowers, the trees coming into full leaf, the birds nesting, and the whole earth showing the res urrection of life and immortality of the soul.

Excerpt from Fifty Years' Recollections, Literary and Personal, Vol. 3 of 3: With Observations on Men and Things A publisher, Mr. Cochrane, then resident in Waterloo Place, spoke to me upon the subject of a new work, to be called The Metropolitan.' Would I undertake it and obtain Campbell as the editor? It was not pos sible to pay him as he had been paid before; he should have a moiety of the sum, and only send in a few verses when be pleased. The terms were agreed to; and we started'a work which gave good promise of success. Moore, who would not touch the New Monthly from its original sin, at once consented to contribute; and Montgomery, of Sheffield, to give his lectures. Mont gomery was a most amiable man, with no very fixed principles of a political nature. Several old literary friends joined us, and Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd, and Delta, of Blackwood's Magazine 3' in other words, the lamented Mr. Moir, of Musselburgh. I had made a notice of his little History of Medicine, ' with which he was much pleased. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Recollections of a Literary Man Among all the Paris salons, haunted by that first dress coat of mine, the salon Ortolan, at the Ecole de Droit, has left one of the pleasantest impressions. Old Ortolan, a shrewd meridional and famous jurisconsult, was also a poet in his leisure moments. He had published Les Enfantines, and although he swore he wrote only for children, he did not disdain the approbation of grown-up people for his verses.

Excerpt from My Private Note-Book, or Recollections of an Old Reporter The duties of the Reporter are easily defined. His chief care, if he belongs to the dismounted, is to collect full particulars of the striking incidents of the day, and to present them in such a form as will eu sure common insertion in the morning journals, and a sufficient pecuniary return to himself. This brief de scription of a class will suffice. The regular report has higher aims, for which he requires higher educational qualifications. His greatest value is, perhaps, centred in his ability to report the parliamentary debates in scholarly style, and with scrupulous accuracyfi [i have gone through more than a quarter of a century of this life of hard, inadequately paid labour, and speak feel ingly on the subject. The very few prizes that the press oeers to its members, are not for the reporter, whether regular or dismounted, and when his cvertasked energies are exhausted by time or sickness - if all his re sources are confined to the press, his fate is lamentable indeed. I could write a painful chapter on this theme but this is not the medium through which public sym pathy can be best enlisted.
