Book Description

Excerpt from A Scholar's Letters From the Front Many soldiers' letters have been published during the past three years, and with reason, for we should keep what record we can of a generation so gallant and so sorely stricken. Yet a few words of explanation are perhaps due, when an addition is made to the number of such publications. Englishmen are proverbially reticent in expression, especially when they feel deeply, and the letters of English soldiers have been distinguished on the whole by this reserve. They contain, often enough, vivid pictures of things done or suffered, of the daily routine or the occasional adventure, but they are rarely meditative, they rarely reveal the thoughts or emotions of the writer, and we must go to their verses to find what our soldiers feel about the war. There is therefore good reason for publishing some of the letters of a young Oxford scholar to whom the war was a searching experience but who took it with a cheerful heart, one who from boyhood had sought the art of expression and for whom a thought was not mature until it had received adequate utterance. Stephen Hewett was born in India in 1893. His father was in the Indian telegraph service, a career which in the wilder parts of the country had often meant danger and adventure.

Book Description

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ... To F. F. Urquhart March 1, 1916. I wrote some little while ago to Cyril, giving him an account of the routine here. Doubtless he showed you some of my letter, which after all was not very exciting: well, we are still at the same old round--though it may be broken soon, --so that shall be my excuse for a little bavardage and a letter of generalities. Your "Spirit of Man" has been invaluable, and I have begun on it again: it certainly goes up into the trenches with me. On the way out I bought Dostoieffsky's " Le Crime et le Chatiment," which has kept me absorbed ever since, though I have finished it now. It reminds one of' Le Disciple, ' and is at least as good: though everybody does such impossible things--e.g.: "La jeune fille poussa un cri.--' Hum!' dit Raskolnikoff.--" although ' Hum' may doubtless mean something more in French--and there is such a plentiful lack of gentlemanly behaviour. Still, I suppose such novels are not really morbid. By the way one has plenty of time to spare out here, even if one does usually spend it in sociability; so any old book of an improving nature would be welcome at any old time, and could probably be returned to you intact. It is curious how, realising as one does that this is not "the life for a man like me," and having as one does any amount of leisure, one is nevertheless assimilated to the atmosphere that one finds: and, instead of writing verses or very serious letters, or reading hard, or doing a praeparatio mortis, one just plods through the monotony of parades and looks for refreshment in much riding and bridge, and even has long talks of Varsity life and arguments in the Varsity manner with the Oxonians and Tabs with whom I am providentially associated. After all, if the whole war--as we...

Book Description

It is the oft-told tale of the First World War that there was a “Missing Generation” of men that gave their lives from Galipolli to the Somme, that never fulfilled their hopes and their dreams have fallen beneath the horrors of the battlefield. Lieutenant Stephen Hewett is commemorated on the Thiepval memorial in Flanders, silent and obedient to the duty to his country. His memorial is also to be found in his letters home that he wrote to his family and friends from the training ground, France and Belgium; surprisingly upbeat and even jolly in tone given the hardships and dangers he faced they make for a fascinating read. Author — Stephen H. Hewett. D. 1916. Introduction — F. F. Urquhart. Text taken, whole and complete, from the edition published in London, Longmans, Green and Co. 1918. Original Page Count – 114 pages.

Book Description

Excerpt from Letters of George Long Her statement proved true and the companion volume is now in my hands through the kindness of Mrs. Emma Breckinridge, of Grove Hill, Botetourt County, Virginia. Mrs. Breckinridge is a sister of Mr. John Gilmer and a daughter of Peachy Gilmer, the eld est brother of the subject of this sketch. This second volume is even more invaluable than the first as it contains all of Gilmer's own letters to Mr. Jefferson, etc., and also throws many valuable side lights upon the internal history of Virginia for the period from 1815 to 1825.
