Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant — Volume 2
The reply (to my telegram of October 16, 1863, from Cairo, announcing my arrival at that point) came on the morning of the 17th, directing me to proceed immediately to the Galt House, Louisville, where I would meet an officer of the War Department with my instructions. I left Cairo within an hour or two after the receipt of this dispatch, going by rail via Indianapolis. Just as the train I was on was starting out of the depot at Indianapolis a messenger came running up to stop it, saying the Secretary of War was coming into the station and wanted to see me.
Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant — Volume One
Although frequently urged by friends to write my memoirs I had determined never to do so, nor to write anything for publication. At the age of nearly sixty-two I received an injury from a fall, which confined me closely to the house while it did not apparently affect my general health. This made study a pleasant pastime. Shortly after, the rascality of a business partner developed itself by the announcement of a failure. This was followed soon after by universal depression of all securities, which seemed to threaten the extinction of a good part of the income still retained, and for which I am indebted to the kindly act of friends.
Notes & Queries, No. 22., Saturday, March 30, 1850 by VariousA Medium of Inter-Communication for Literary Men, Artists, Antiqueries, Genealogists, etc.
In two former communications on a subject incidental to that to which I now beg leave to call your attention, I hinted at a result far more important than the discovery of the author of the Taming of a Shrew. That result I lay before your readers, in stating that I think I can show grounds for the assertion that the Taming of the Shrew, by Shakspeare, is the original play; and that the Taming of a Shrew, by Marlowe or what other writer soever, is a later work, and an imitation.

We cannot resist the opportunity which the commencement of our Second Volume affords us, of addressing a few words of acknowledgment to our friends, both contributors and readers.

De Franse Pers by Heinrich Heine
Tot op zekere hoogte is de Franse dagbladpers een oligarchie, zeker geen democratie. Dat komt, omdat een krant stichten in Frankrijk met zoveel kosten en moeite gepaard gaat, dat alleen mensen die in staat zijn zeer grote sommen op tafel te leggen een dagblad kunnen oprichten.
An Exhortation to Peace and Unity
Where unity and peace is, there many mischiefs and inconveniences are prevented, which attend those people where peace and unity are wanting: and of those many that might be mentioned, I shall briefly insist upon these nine.
