summary:
  In _Ordered South_ and other well-known essays, he shows the gradual relaxation of the ties which bind a man to terrestrial things,--and the curiously significant alteration in his regard for the facts of life,--from the sower in the dank spring furrows, to the sight of little children with their long possibilities before them. I believe that literature should give joy, was his maxim, one dank, dispirited word is harmful,--a crime of _lèse-humanité_.

  Great man of song, whose glorious laurelled head Within the lap of death sleeps well at last, Down the dark road, seeking the deathless dead, Thy faithful, fearless, shining soul hath passed. No more the leonine heroic head, The ruling arm, great heart, and kingly eye; No more th' alchemic tongue that turned poor themes Of statecraft into golden-glowing dreams; No more a man for man to deify: Laurel no more--the heroic age is dead.

  Their mutual agreement on all financial matters reminded me of a remark made by mine host at a country inn, who, in speaking of his wife, said, She is my very best investment, and so was Mrs. Stevenson to her husband, _Lewis_, for so the family called him, and never Robert Louis. She sent word that she would be able to see me in half an hour, and I was shown into the living-room, where, meditating by the fire, sat Mrs. Stevenson.

There is a world of abrupt, homely talk like this to be found in the speech of Captain Nares and of Jim Pinkerton in _The Wrecker_; and a wealth of Scottish dialect, similar in effect, in _Kidnapped_, _Catriona_, and many other stories. _FOURTH IMPRESSION_ LONDON EDWARD ARNOLD 41 & 43 MADDOX STREET, BOND STREET, W. 1906 THE GREATER PART OF THIS ESSAY WAS GIVEN AS A LECTURE AT THE ROYAL INSTITUTION

summary:
  The entire population of the island seemed to have gathered together in a picturesque group on the shore to bid them farewell; and this group formed a brilliant foreground to our parting view of Tonga, with its green esplanade, its villa palace, its church and its white Government Offices, the latter of which stood boldly out against the groves of bananas and long feathery vistas of coconut palms.[2] We steamed out of the harbour of Nukualofa by a different passage to that by which we had entered, and before we passed the reef we had to make our way through a perfect network of little islands, all alike, palm-fringed and scattered about at random like flowers in a meadow. Outside these huts, sitting or standing, or lounging about in indolent inaction, were native men, women, and children--dear little brown-skinned babies, innocent of any attire save their original birthday suit, rolled and tumbled on the grass.

  Stevensoniana Being a Reprint of Various Literary and Pictorial Miscellany Associated with Robert Louis Stevenson, the Man and His Work

summary:
  A JUSTIFICATION Boston, June 5, 1900.--When Mr. Stevenson was at Saranac in the Adirondacks I sent him a short editorial on his Brownies that I had written for the Boston _Daily Advertiser_, and also a letter, saying that I owed him one dollar. That wonderful looking out was the first thing that impressed me when I met Mr. Stevenson in Sydney in '93.

  The next night, 24th July 1702, a sound disturbed the Inspector of Missions as he sat in his prison-house at Pont de Montvert: the voices of many men upraised in psalmody drew nearer and nearer through the town. I remembered having laughed myself when I had seen good men struggling with adversity in the person of a jackass, and the recollection filled me with penitence.

summary:
  A man of strong prejudices, a man too of varying moods, Mr Stevenson knew what it was at times to endure hours of depression, to suffer from an almost morbidly religious conscience, but he always kept a courageous hold on life and found the best cure for a shadowed soul lay in constant and varied work. [1] The portion of this family history--_Family of Engineers_--which Mr Stevenson had completed, at the time of his death, is to be found in 'The Edinburgh Edition' of his works.

  It was not in pleasant valleys such as these, or in cosy little towns like Pont de Montvert, that the Camisards fought out their war with His Most Christian Majesty Louis, King of France and Brittany, but on the bare and rocky plateaus westward of the Cevennes, and on such mountain-tops as the Lozère. By January of 1877 he was busily prosecuting his explorations at Kermaric, a gunshot distant from Carnac, and the work went steadily on with the most fruitful results in many other parts of the district until the end of 1880, when Miln returned to Edinburgh in order to produce another book describing his researches.
