Excerpt from Men and Events of Half a Century Bould any reader of this book deem the author to have presumed too much on the public consideration, or to have mistaken the historical and literary tastes of a read ing people, his apology is that he has been tempted by the over-indulgence of the public journals of Cleveland, and some of New York, Boston and Chicago, which have, during a series of years, published most of the papers herein, besides having put the writer off his guard of modesty by each asking in pleasing terms for more copy. He confesses, nevertheless, something akin to parental feel ing for his scattered children of the brain, remembering the happiness or sadness attendant upon their birth 3 and there fore he has called the little wanderers home-wiped their sun browned faces, combed their matted and dishevelled locks, and in some instances set on a patch of new cloth where they seemed somewhat thread-bare, or a little out at the knees or elbows, to make them a trifle more presentable among the few surviving neighbors who saw most of them when they first toddled, and their father was young and hopeful - cherish ing, withal, a parental hope that a new and cultured genera tion may discover something in their forms and faces, and respectful manners, not wholly unattractive, though they be not among the prettiest and best dressed of literary children.

Excerpt from Men and Measures of Half a Century: Sketches and Comments N the following pages, which, when I began to write, were intended only for my family and personal friends, I have spoken of men and things as they came to mind, without regard to order or oonsecutiveness. Many of the men were known only in limited circles, but they were well known there, and the impressions which they made upon me have not been effaced nor weakened by intervening years. Of some prominent persons I have spoken with great freedom, but neither as eulogist nor critic. T heir historic deeds form impor tant chapters in the national history, and What I have said about them, if it is not now, will, I think, ere long, be in accord With the sentiment of a large majority of their countrymen.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Discover the game-changing theory of the cycles of history and what past generations can teach us about living through times of upheaval—with deep insights into the roles that Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials have to play—now with a new preface by Neil Howe. First comes a High, a period of confident expansion. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion. Then comes an Unraveling, in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis—the Fourth Turning—when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. William Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the world—and your place in it. With blazing originality, The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America’s past will predict what comes next. Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back five hundred years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four twenty-year eras—or “turnings”—that comprise history’s seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth. Illustrating this cycle through a brilliant analysis of the post–World War II period, The Fourth Turning offers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and collectively, for this rendezvous with destiny.
