The Life of Henry Bradley Plant
This is a detailed and accurate biography of Henry Bradley Plant (1819 – 1899), a businessman, entrepreneur, and investor concerned with many transportation welfares and projects, primarily railroads, in the southeastern United States. He was the founder of the famous Plant System of railroads and steamboats. After reading this well-written biography by G. Hutchinson Smyth, one can get a clear idea of the best period in the history of the states of the southern US. This book presents an accurate account of the major events that took place in the life of H.B. Plant and delivers several valuable insights into the success of the Plant system that he formed in 1882 to lease and buy other railroads and expand the system. The author details several significant happenings in the life of Plant from his birth to his sicknesses, from his hobbies and interests to his occupation, from his experiences pre and post the civil war, finally, to his demise.
The Making of English
This etymological tour de force was written by a self-taught farmer's son who became a world-famous linguist and senior editor of the Oxford English Dictionary. By the time he was a teenager, Henry Bradley (1845-1923) had immersed himself in several classical languages. His achievements were ultimately recognized with honorary degrees from Oxford and Heidelberg, and fellowships at Magdalen College and the British Academy. This 1904 work represents the culmination of his philological career. Scholarly yet nontechnical, The Making of English explains in simple terms the relationships between English and other tongues--Greek, Latin, German, Spanish, and French. Topics include the similarities and differences between English and German, characteristics of Old English, and the composition, derivation, and root-creation involved in the process of the making of words. The author also discusses changes in meaning that occur over time, and profiles some historical figures who were influential in shaping the English language.
