A Rogue’s Life

A Rogue's Life by Wilkie Collins

A Rogue's Life by Wilkie Collins

“The story offers the faithful reflection of a very happy time in my past life. It was written at Paris, when I had Charles Dickens for a near neighbor and a daily companion, and when my leisure hours were joyously passed with many other friends, all associated with literature and art, of whom the admirable comedian, Regnier, is now the only survivor. The revising of these pages has been to me a melancholy task. I can only hope that they may cheer the sad moments of others. The Rogue may surely claim two merits, at least, in the eyes of the new generation—he is never serious for two moments together; and he “doesn’t take long to read.” W. C.”

Louis Pasteur

Louis Pasteur by Albert Keim

Louis Pasteur by Albert Keim

Louis Pasteur famously said, “In the fields of observation chance favors only the prepared mind.” Pasteur brought to the study of chemistry, microbiology, and applied immunology, a mind open, innovative, and insightful. Born of peasant stock in the French Jura, he worked with dogged determination all his life and often in the face of strenuous opposition. Through an unbroken succession of rigorously designed and meticulously performed experiments, Pasteur developed veterinary vaccines and halted grievous losses in the French wine, silk, and dairy industries. He provided the crucial experimental support for the germ theory of disease which enabled Joseph Lister and others to prevent infections in surgical patients and in new mothers. During the development of the vaccine against rabies, Pasteur and his colleagues often risked their own lives, but they delivered humankind from the terror of this agonizing and almost always fatal illness.

Philip Augustus

Philip Augustus by William Holden Hutton

Philip Augustus by William Holden Hutton

Philip Augustus (Philip II of France), grandfather of Saint Louis, was one of France’s greatest kings. While England’s Henry II was locked in combat with his rebellious offspring, Philip and his loyal son, Louis, steadily consolidated the scattered territories of their little kingdom. In this short, but vivid history we meet King Philip, now riding, at the behest of the imperious Pope Innocent III, with his spurned wife, Ingeborgis, behind him on the saddle, now impetuously flying at his enemies at the Battle of Bouvines. In his later years he quietly fended off conflict and crusade and passed, as the author writes, “from district to district hearing complaints, redressing wrongs…a great king ceaselessly active, of unwearied vigilance and ever-changing scheme…stern,secret, subtle, obstinate, and invincibly patient in the pursuit of what his eye desired and his hand found to do.”

The committee’s mandate from the Senate, which was passed by a unanimous vote, was to make a “complete” investigation and study “of the extent … to which illegal, improper, or unethical activities” occurred in the 1972 Presidential campaign and election and to determine whether new legislation was needed “to safeguard the electoral process by which the President of the United States is chosen.”
