Books with author Frances Browne

Excerpt from Golden Poems by British and American AuthorsHat this collection of English poetry has held its own for twenty-five years seems a sufficient reason for offer ing it to the public in a revised and enlarged edition. In the earlier preface it was stated that the search for material had been brought down as nearly as possible to the present. That present is now a quarter-century past; and while this interval has not been marked by the appearance of any great names in English poetry, much that is of interest has been given to the world both from poets already famous and from those who were unknown when the collection was originally made. The present edition, therefore, not only sustains the intention of the earlier one in bringing the material down to date, but includes matter that cannot fail to give increased richness and variety to the collection.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Manners, Vol. 1 of 3: A NovelMrs. Martin, the lady alluded to, was certainly one of those more sinned against than sinning3 for malice itself could not accuse her of one uncharitable thought, word, or action: and even her enemies, if enemies she had, must have acknowledged, that Poor Mrs. Martin had a good heart, however inferior she might be in understanding to those, who affected to despise her unassuming me rits. She was one of those worthy good people, who never did a wicked thing, and never said a wise one; and who, therefore, are seldom mentioned without some epithet of contemptuous pity by those, who atleast wlsh to be considered of an entirely opposite character. She lived in a contented mediocrity, aboon distress below envy, humble, and good natured, with a most happy temperament, both moral and physical; in friendship with all the world, and devoutly believing all the world in friendship with her, and.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Her best seller, Granny's Wonderful Chair is still in publication up to this moment. It is a splendidly inspirational book of fairy tales and has been rendered into several other dialects. This book, read as a child by Frances Hodgson Burnett, enthused the works of Little Saint Elizabeth and Other Stories. Granny’s Wonderful Chair include contents on: Introductory, The Christmas Cuckoo, Lady Greensleeves, Childe Charity, Sour and Civil, and Prince Wisewit’s Return. Frances Browne was an Irish poet and writer, mostly thought of for her compilation of children’s stories which is the Granny's Wonderful Chair. She was born at Stranorlar, in County Donegal, Ireland. She lost her vision because she suffered from smallpox when she was just 18 months old. In her stories, she retells how she knew by heart the tutorials which her brothers and sisters stated out loud each night, and how she persuaded them to discuss to her by completing their errands. She gave her best at learning all that she had perceived. She made her first verse, a rendition of The Lord's Prayer, when she was seven years old. Her first verses appeared in the Irish Penny Journal and in the London Athenauem. A few of those contained in the Irish Penny Journal was the amazing lyric, "Songs of Our Land" which can be seen in several collections of Irish patriotic poetry. She printed a comprehensive collection of verses followed by a second collection. The local periodicals, such as the Belfast-based Northern Whig republished a number of her poems and she was largely remarked as 'The Blind Poetess of Ulster'. She later contributed to the famous magazine Chambers's Journal and she composed for this magazine for the following 25 years. The earliest short fiction that she had contributed in the Journal was titled, "The Lost New Year's Gift".
