Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Encyclopedia of Massachusetts of the Nineteenth Century No modern achievements of art have been so universally welcomed by all classes of people as those of photography. This is natural, and it displays a gratifying feature of humanity. It illustrates the pleasures of memory, and the sacred associations of the soul in its activity, - in all the beautiful relations of friendship, love, kindred, and parental affection. All alike take pleasure in looking upon the face of the absent, or deceased beloved one, or of the admired and respected person, who has made for himself, or herself, a record of public honor and usefulness, or has been the instrument of good, charity, and happiness in the domestic or social circle. Although the portrait is a counterfeit, it is the nearest approach to the reality that artistic skill can give. If it be so prized for what it represents, 'why should we omit the record of character that commands our respect, or endears the person represented? The record illustrates the beauties of character which afford us pleasure to remember, and profit to contemplate. There is no personal merit in the features, or complexion of the face, nor in the form of the body. They come from nature, wherein the laws of God give birth to physical perfection, and to forms of beauty. But, in the formation of character, the faculties of the human soul are placed in the count less relations of skill, taste, judgment and duty. The high prerogatives of religion and government, the sacred privileges and enjoyments of civil, social and domestic life, are to be carefully studied, observed and practised. As we are true to these perpetual duties and responsibilities, principles are developed which constitute the elements of character, and these are to be found in the examples of men who have made for themselves a record that will be useful to a grateful posterity. As it has been truly said by a distinguished orator, that man is simply a trustee of property, that he is the owner of nothing, not even of himself, so it may be asserted with truth, that all human beings, however great, humble, or insignificant in the eyes of mortals, have a mission to fulfil in the life that has been given them by their Creator. They make a part of the universe, and if they are not made known by any visible record here, no one will presume to question the Infinite Wisdom by denying them a record wherein all will find a place in eternity.

Download or read book Great American Women of the 19th Century written by Frances Elizabeth Willard and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 848 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containing 1,500 biographies and more than 1,400 photographs or portraits, this extraordinary encyclopedia, originally published in 1897, documents the lives and achievements of remarkable American women who lived during the nineteenth century. Frances E. Willard and Mary A. Livermore, two extraordinary women in their own right, compiled this massive work toward the end of their own very accomplished lives to demonstrate that women were a rising cultural and intellectual force to be reckoned with. Providing a window into the 19th-century world of white middle-class women over three generations, the encyclopedia reveals the range of women's career paths and vocations at this time, and provides a benchmark of the growth in women's consciousness of themselves as a gender class. Among the occupations listed those falling into the literary category are the most numerous: authors, editors, journalists, lecturers, literary contributors, novelists, poets, and publishers. Other sizable categories are actors, artists, educators, philanthropists, physicians, temperance workers, and woman suffragists. Also included are profiles of all of the First Ladies of the 19th century, and a number of less highly placed women who are still well-known today: Louisa May Alcott, author of Little Women; famed nurse and humanitarian Clara Barton; America's best-known female composer, Mrs. H. H. A. Beach; theosophist Helene Petrovna Blavatsky; America's first woman lawyer, Myra Bradwell; mental health pioneer Dorothea Dix; Harriet Beecher Stowe, widely read author of Uncle Tom's Cabin; and suffragists and women's rights advocates Susan B. Anthony, Matilda Joslyn Gage, Lucretia Mott, Lucy Stone, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. An insightful introduction by feminist sociologists Patricia Lengermann and Jill Niebrugge-Brantley synopsizes the lives of Frances E. Willard and Mary A. Livermore, evaluates their contributions, and analyzes the sociological implications of this monumental project.
