  • London to Ladysmith Via Pretoria by Winston S. Churchill, Biography & Autobiography, History, Military, World
    Winston S. Churchill / Winston SChurchill
    From the author’s introduction: 'The stir and tumult of a camp do not favor calm or sustained thought, and whatever is written herein must be regarded simply as the immediate effect produced by men powerfully moved, and scenes swiftly changing upon what I hope is a truth-seeking mind.' He described his impressions of the Boer army when he first saw it, as a recently taken capti...

  • The Crossing
    Winston Churchill / Winston SChurchill
    [A]s I mounted the slopes of the mountains my spirits rose too at the prospect of the life before me. The woods were all aflame with color, with wine and amber and gold, and the hills wore the misty mantle of shadowy blue so dear to my youthful memory. As I left the rude taverns of a morning and jogged along the heights, I watched the vapors rise and roll away from the valleys ...

  • The Dwelling-Place of Light, Vol 1
    Winston Churchill
    In this modern industrial civilization of which we are sometimes wont to boast, a certain glacier-like process may be observed. The bewildered, the helpless - and there are many - are torn from the parent rock, crushed, rolled smooth, and left stranded in strange places. Thus was Edward Bumpus severed and rolled from the ancestral ledge, from the firm granite of seemingly stabl...

  • The Dwelling-Place of Light, Vol 2
    Winston Churchill
    At certain moments during the days that followed the degree of tension her relationship with Ditmar had achieved tested the limits of Janet’s ingenuity and powers of resistance. Yet the sense of mastery at being able to hold such a man in leash was by no means unpleasurable to a young woman of her vitality and spirit. There was always the excitement that the leash might break -...

  • The Dwelling-Place of Light, Vol 3
    Winston Churchill
    Occasionally the art of narrative may be improved by borrowing the method of the movies. Another night has passed, and we are called upon to imagine the watery sunlight of a mild winter afternoon filtering through bare trees on the heads of a multitude. A large portion of Hampton Common is black with the people of sixteen nationalities who have gathered there, trampling down th...

  • The Inside of the Cup Vol 1.
    Winston S. Churchill / Winston SChurchill
    With few exceptions, the incidents recorded in these pages take place in one of the largest cities of the United States of America, and of that portion called the Middle West, - a city once conservative and provincial, and rather proud of these qualities; but now outgrown them, and linked by lightning limited trains to other teeming centers of the modern world: a city overtaken...

  • The Inside of the Cup Vol 2.
    Winston S. Churchill / Winston SChurchill
    Sunday after Sunday Hodder looked upon the same picture, the winter light filtering through emblazoned windows, falling athwart stone pillars, and staining with rich colours the marble of the centre aisle. The organ rolled out hymns and anthems, the voices of the white robed choir echoed among the arches. And Hodder’s eye, sweeping over the decorous congre-gation, grew to recog...

  • The Inside of the Cup Vol 3.
    Winston S. Churchill / Winston SChurchill
    It was the last Sunday in May, and in another week the annual flight to the seashore and the mountains would have begun again. The breezes stealing into the church through the open casements wafted hither and thither the odours of the chancel flowers, and mingled with those fainter and subtler perfumes set free by the rustling of summer gowns. As on this day he surveyed his dec...

  • The Inside of the Cup Vol 4.
    Winston S. Churchill / Winston SChurchill
    Hodder fell asleep from sheer exhaustion, awaking during the night at occasional intervals to recall chimerical dreams in which the events of the day before were reflected, but caricatured and distorted. Alison Parr was talking to the woman in the flat, and both were changed, and yet he identified both: and on another occasion he saw a familiar figure surrounded by romping, rag...

  • The Inside of the Cup Vol 5.
    Winston S. Churchill / Winston SChurchill
    Life had indeed become complicated, paradoxical. He, John Hodder, a clergyman, rector of St. John’s by virtue of not having resigned, had entered a restaurant of ill repute, had ordered champagne for an abandoned woman, and had no sense of sin when he awoke the next morning! The devil, in the language of orthodox theology, had led him there. He had fallen under the influence of...

  • The Inside of the Cup Vol 6.
    Winston S. Churchill / Winston SChurchill
    Looking backward, Hodder perceived that he had really come to the momentous decision of remaining at St. John’s in the twilight of an evening when, on returning home from seeing Kate Marcy at Mr. Bentley’s he had entered the darkening church. It was then that his mission had appeared to him as a vision. Every day, afterward, his sense and knowledge of this mission had grown str...

  • The Inside of the Cup Vol 7.
    Winston S. Churchill / Winston SChurchill
    Pondering over Alison’s note, he suddenly recalled and verified some phrases which had struck him that summer on reading Harnack’s celebrated History of Dogma, and around these he framed his reply. 'To act as if faith in eternal life and in the living Christ was the simplest thing in the world, or a dogma to which one has to submit, is irreligious. . .It is Christian to pray th...

  • The Inside of the Cup Vol 8.
    Winston S. Churchill / Winston SChurchill
    The Bishop’s House was a comfortable, double dwelling of a smooth, bright red brick and large, plate-glass windows, situated in a plot at the western end of Waverley Place. It had been bought by the Diocese in the nineties, and was representative of that transitional period in American architecture when the mansard roof had been repudiated, when as yet no definite types had eme...

  • A Far Country, Vol1
    Winston Churchill
    My name is Hugh Paret. I was a corporation lawyer, but by no means a typical one, the choice of my profession being merely incidental, and due, as will be seen, to the accident of environment. The book I am about to write might aptly be called The Autobiography of a Romanticist. In that sense, if in no other, I have been a typical American, regarding my country as the happy hun...

  • A Far Country, Vol2
    Winston Churchill
    This was not my first visit to the state capital. Indeed, some of that recondite knowledge, in which I took a pride, had been gained on the occasions of my previous visits. Rising and dressing early, I beheld out of the car window the broad, shallow river glinting in the morning sunlight, the dome of the state house against the blue of the sky. Even at that early hour groups of...

  • A Traveller in War Time
    Winston Churchill
    I am reprinting here, in response to requests, certain recent experiences in Great Britain and France. These were selected in the hope of conveying to American readers some idea of the atmosphere, of 'what it is like' in these countries under the immediate shadow of the battle clouds. It was what I myself most wished to know. My idea was first to send home my impressions while ...

  • Dr. Jonathan
    Winston S. Churchill / Winston SChurchill
    This play was written during the war. But owing to the fact that several managers politely declined to produce it, it has not appeared on any stage. Now, perhaps, its theme is more timely, more likely to receive the attention it deserves, when the smoke of battle has somewhat cleared. Even when the struggle with Germany and her allies was in progress it was quite apparent to th...

    Winston Churchill
    I may as well begin this story with Mr. Hilary Vane, more frequently addressed as the Honourable Hilary Vane, although it was the gentleman’s proud boast that he had never held an office in his life. He belonged to the Vanes of Camden Street, - a beautiful village in the hills near Ripton, - and was, in common with some other great men who had made a noise in New York and the n...

  • On the American Contribution
    Winston Churchill
    Failure to recognize that the American, is at heart an idealist is to lack understanding of our national character. Two of our greatest interpreters proclaimed it, Emerson and William James. In a recent address at the Paris Sorbonne on 'American Idealism,' M. Firmin Roz observed that a people is rarely justly estimated by its contemporaries. The French, he says, have been celeb...

  • The Celebrity
    Winston Churchill
    I was about to say that I had known the Celebrity from the time he wore kilts. But I see I shall have to amend that, because he was not a celebrity then, nor, indeed, did he achieve fame until some time after I had left New York for the West. In the old days, to my commonplace and unobserving mind, he gave no evidences of genius whatsoever. He never read me any of his manuscrip...

The favorable manner in which these letters were received, encouraged me to attempt a more substantial work. This volume is the result. The original letters have been broken up, and I have freely availed myself of all passages, phrases, and facts, that seemed appropriate...
